Official thread for all users migrating her from 4chan to discuss things while 4chan is down!
That's right! This is a thread for me and me alone because none of them came here!
Get out of here you non-4chan user faggots!
I've been cruising the interwebs checking out different imageboards to see what's going on and have come to the conclusion that I've been living in a bubble. To me 4chan was always a wapanese website for otakus to hang out in and sometimes pretend to be retarded for teh lolz but no one seems to see 4chan that way anymore. There's also a lot of aggressively mentally ill people out there that I can't tell if they are being serious or not with the crazy and paranoid things they say. Wizchan especially has a lot of weirdos but I guess that is to be expected there. Am I really so out of touch or are the children wrong?

Are you saying that you actually never perceived the widening gap(s) in the huge community (communities) of 4chan throughout the yars?
Ultimately, the last year the 4chan was exactly as you've just described it was 2012, before the one minute post cooldown, the 4chan pass etc.
Seems people are at 8chan moe, don't know about 8kun, maybe at the soyjak site, but also theres lots camping out at downdetector, or /downs/, if you will.
Only feds are at 8kun, most of the former channers migrated to 8chanmoe, lainchan, soyjak.party, kissu.moe, lolcow.farm, kiwifarms, wizardchan, endchan, leftypol, etc.
Half of these websites are genuinely bad, but at least they get the job done.

I am probably one of the mentally ill people you are talking about. I mod there, and I agree with you that the culture can be pretty weird. Most of the activity happens on a hidden board anyway.
The whole internet is already dead.
I've been on 4chan daily since 2005. I'm realising part of the reason I still post is to cling on to the glory days of my youth.
Your mid-30s is kind of cruel when you have lots of responsibilities: job, house, pets, kids, wife, aging parents etc and sometimes it's nice to dive into boards and remember the good old days when you'd fap several times a night, play vidya with friends, and read visual novels and play 2hu. Maybe I can quit for real this time.

I know where you're coming from. It's nice to retreat from worrying about the roof leak that's getting worse into reliving something from easier times (when other people were the ones worrying about leaking roofs). I think part of the reason I clung around to 4chan, or even just the internet in general, was a desire to not fully let go of this, even though the reason that I was hanging on hasn't been true for a long time.
I've been having a feeling that the internet is, in a way, "over," and the death of 4chan -- whether it comes back or not doesn't really matter -- is the final nail in the coffin not just of my youth but also the internet that was worth caring about to begin with.
It sounds weird to say, but I used to think that the internet dying would be terrible because, at the core, it would mean the end of 4chan, and the end of something that pretty much defined my teenage years. Or at least a major part of it.
Now it's gone, why hang round? I don't mean "make a twitter/facebook and go normie," because that doesn't interest me at all. I mean, why even go online at all when the symbol of why I was there in the first place is gone?
Idolizing 4chan? Just the fact that you've ever done that is telling.
Bizarre people.
The pope died so that 4chan might live.

It's not so much 4chan I'm idolizing. More what 4chan was in terms of its place in internet history.

Alright, let's be honest and say that you're not completely wrong, but you're also fucking equating the death of 4chan with the death of the web.
LIke, are you serious? This type of stuff (that you hear from time to time) really makes me question how some of you people even use and browse the net.
I went to Reddit on reflex, realized what I did, and kept scrolling for some stimulation. All I got was doomposting and reposted TikTok vids, as expected. Please kill me.
>>107
I know that feel. Been a daily 4chan user since 2007.
I'm also realizing that I really only got exposure to new memes and jokes from my old hangouts /g/, /biz/, and a few others. Now I'm finding that I don't have a real place to laugh at stuff online anymore ecxept for maybe kiwifarms. But it's not quite the same experience that the rapid fire anonymous shit posting on 4chan provided. Also every alt chan is basically unusable without a 4chanX equivelant.
[Mod Team]: The old site's been hit, but it's gonna turn out alright. You're gonna take a long vacation to some old forgotten *chan and we'll catch the hell.
[Newfags]: How bad do you think it's gonna be?
[Mod Team]: It's okay, these things gotta happen every five or ten years or so. Helps to get rid of the bad blood.

I didn't hang out the whole time, and there were far healthier communities elsewhere on the internet, and 4chan was a festering corpse from the get-go, drawing flies as it reverse-decomposed into a meaningless, bot-riddled hell. Its loss is for the best overall, feels a little like an orchestrated move of some kind, should matter less.
this thread easily has the highest amount of posts on this board
