Do you miss the internet of the 90s and the 2000s?
That's because Kuz only allows people on his site who will suck his dick he cannot take any form of outside criticism. Whats funny is that the original Heyuri was ran by a zoomer born in 2002 who is not even old enough to remember the old chan culture and Kuz was a ban happy SJW mod on that site.
EKSKUSE ME HAF ANY OF YOU PERHAPS MAYBE HEARD OF THIS PLACE KNOWN AS HEYURI

Agreed, but I think moving to the darknet makes more sense. It aids the anonymous ethos and many corners of them already feel like the old net.
Who knows and who cares he was a faggot just like nigger Kuz they are both shitty people.
>>105
how is he a pedophile? if i remember correctly he was the one who immediately instated the ban on lolis. Also why are you so angry? Did he cross you?
>>103
All we really need to revive the "old internet" is to have participation. It doesn't matter what protocol it is, what the aesthetic of the website is, darknet or clearnet, we just need people to break away from social media and free hosting and content aggregators and start their own servers. What really made the "old internet" was the decentralized aspect, it wasn't 3-4 single platforms that everybody posted on, but everybody effectively had their own service on the internet.
Hosting is cheaper than ever. Domains are less than $10 a year, a little Raspberry pi server is about $40. Right now I run a web server, a gopher server, ftp, and email from my house.
>It feels forced.
It IS forced. No one actually types like that because they think l33t corruptions are so funny, they type like that because it makes them think that its some "old internet" revival and that they are oldfags because they talk to each other in that way. Its all a big LARP because they don't actually understand anything about the "old internet" or how to "revive" it. They try to cover this using superficial means, but it doesn't work.
>>108
It's funny and ironic how they act like the one thing they try not to be
I'm probably responsible for the majority of the l33tsp33k and old catchphrase abuse (among other things) over on The Site That Shall Not Be Advertised. I do it because A: it's fun, and makes a change from being the miserable faggot I'd previously become, B: I'm a member of the generation that abused it to death the first time around, and C: I'd rather the younger users there adopt that style of netspeak over the LOLcat and "doremi speak" garbage they were using before.
A chunk of the userbase is obviously on the younger side, but I don't really care. Virtually everyone on this side of the internet was once the "annoying kids on the internet" themselves, and I appreciate any level of enthusiasm shown towards an era I remember fondly. When I was younger I would always look up to the old guys; I loved hearing all their tales about the "old days" that I'd missed out on, and I would try to emulate their mannerisms to better "fit in"; so I can't hate young people doing the same thing 20 years later.
All I really want these days is an active, lighthearted, vaguely anime/otaku-oriented imageboard where the main goal is to have fun and entertain each other, as opposed to the usual enclaves of grouchy twenty-somethings taking themselves way too seriously, or masses of braindead retards seeing who can piss each other off the most. For better or for worse, and despite its flaws, that site is the closest thing I've found to my "ideal". I'll probably continue posting there until it either implodes (again), or I come across something better.
Behold: The angry oldfags are angry at people for existing
You don't even know where that phrase/meme comes from you're too young to be on here get the fuck out and an hero i hope pedobear rapes you.
I am so confused. 110 tries to have a lighthearted conversation, and then immediately insults the first person to respond. Twice. What is going on?

have any of you chaps, perhaps, maybe heard of a strange place, which i dont think we have mentioned here before, its called.. what was it?.. ah yes, heyuri. sound familiar?

Unpopular opinion but it wasn't smartphones and big companies that killed the internet they were only part of the problem. It was actually all the people who acted like assholes on the internet back in the day and thought internet culture was about being a edgy racist sexist pedophile who bullied people with autism because they found it funny. These types of people ruined the fun for everyone else back in the day and are one of the big reasons why we have a no fun allowed internet nowadays.
>>125
I agree that old internet edginess was lame as fuck, but you're underselling the reality of corporate changes on the internet, you can't say they were only "part of the problem" when the problem you point to has nothing to do with that
y'all need to stop cumming your pants over a time gone by and move on lmao. all this does is give immature 30+ year olds an even more unwarranted sense of self importance.
The end of the "old internet" was enabled by none other than tech nerds themselves, who 'embraced' the web 2/3.0 stuff for so long that corporations had only to show up and buy their souls with the promise that they will improve everything by writing more code. They then summoned the "modern web" by themselves, often in free overtime and amidst their own chants praising the virtues of modern browsers. The old ie6 -compatible web was toothless in comparison.
On behalf of all lurking zoomer anons, I apologize for >>111. Please don't think he represents all of us.

No need to apologize for anything that triggers OP, it's hilarious.
Sheeeit I didn't even realize this T78JPCAK fella was OP

you sound autistic, and I as a racist sexist pedophile am here to bully you
(￣へ￣) Hello. I am "Mr. Likes To Sage Threads". I do believe this is a thread in need of Sage, so I would like to sage it. That is why my name is "Mr. Likes To Sage Threads".
You don't belong here GTFO kid you're too young to remember the old internet also fuck off with the tripfagging nobody likes trip/namefags on any message board.

Nope you don't belong here anymore your time has passed. Be at peace. LOL.
i got internet for the first time yesterday, still getting new to this whole message board thing. Im literally 14 btw, whats up dudes!!
Someone reminded me the other day of how malicious popups used to be, and I don't miss that. Remember when popup blockers first became a thing?
Of course, the fucktards that make web coding added those newfangled popup things that you can't block these days, because they're dribbling shits, but at least the new ones don't spawn new windows in an infinite loop.
The internet in the 80s.

Or were they always that way & you just noticed it?

This is very true i think smartphones and social media are partly to blame for that as well as todays political culture as well. Back in 2005 the average normie was a lot more polite on the internet and it was a lot easier to make friends unlike today.
^the internet went to shit when you started using it
I beg to differ i started using it in the late 90s.
why chill so hard here
it s like you re hiding stuff
man
this is all too gay
holy shit
Check out myspace & tumblr. Yeah.

Our Digital Pasts Weren’t Supposed to Be Weaponized Like This
A recent firing at The Associated Press is the latest example of the way in which our digital pasts are never far from the present, despite what early internet evangelists thought.
By Kashmir Hill
May 29, 2021
The internet is a fossil machine. It preserves our thoughts, our political positions, our jokes, our photos, our triumphs and our mistakes in silicon amber, just waiting to be dug up. And that has led to a kind of modern sport: Find an outrageous piece of a person’s past that can be weaponized, put it on display for all to see and hope for the worst.
The most surprising thing, though, is that this is still happening.
The latest target of adversarial archaeologists is Emily Wilder, 22, who was fired by The Associated Press just three weeks into the job after the Stanford College Republicans surfaced her pro-Palestine activism and social media posts while in college. Though she was based in Arizona, her old posts caught the attention of national political figures from the right who amplified them, arguing that her views compromised her employer’s ability to accurately cover the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The A.P. contends that the firing was for social media conduct while Ms. Wilder worked for the media outlet, but it seemed to Ms. Wilder and her supporters that the incident was triggered by the years-old Facebook posts.
We’ve been living with social media — and its powers of preservation — for nearly two decades now, since Facebook came into existence in 2004 and gradually convinced a billion of us that it was a good idea to leave a digital trail online attached to our real names. This is a cycle so familiar that the progression from unearthed post to contrition or firing feels lockstep. It almost makes you forget that it wasn’t supposed to be this way. As more and more people documented their lives online, so that our whole selves, past and present, were visible, society was predicted to become more empathetic and forgiving. But instead the opposite has happened.
People were thinking about this a lot a decade ago. During an August 2010 interview, it was on the mind of Eric Schmidt, then the chairman of Google, the creator of the best fossil-digging equipment out there. Mr. Schmidt predicted, “apparently seriously,” according to The Wall Street Journal, that young people would change their names upon reaching adulthood in order to escape their digital pasts. The prediction was widely mocked for its impossibility.
The same month, another prominent data scientist, Jeff Jonas, offered a more utopian prediction: “I hope for a highly tolerant society in the future,” he wrote on a legal blog called Concurring Opinions. “A place where it is widely known I am four or five standard deviations off center, and despite such deviance, my personal and professional relationships carry on, unaffected.”
>>167
I remember this prediction because I cited it a decade ago when a 28-year-old woman had her Congressional campaign upended by a “scandal,” one that seems quaint by today’s standards but was a glimpse into our future. The woman who provided it was named, coincidentally, Krystal Ball.
Ms. Ball was running as a Democrat for a House seat in Virginia at the time; a conservative blog got its hands on decade-old photos from a post-college Christmas party, where Ms. Ball was dressed as a “naughty Santa” and her husband at the time was Rudolph with a red dildo for a nose. This sounds ridiculous, but the “raunchy party photos” fueled news stories across the world. I thought that what she was experiencing was notable for its limited shelf life: As more and more people got smartphones and flocked to apps like Instagram and Twitter that encouraged them to thoroughly document their lives and thoughts, this sort of shaming of people’s past selves would surely stop, because the throwing of stones would become hypocritical and dangerous.
Ms. Ball thought so too. She lost that long-ago Congressional race and is now a media commentator and the author of a book about the new political age. She said in a recent interview that she thought her so-called scandal would be a temporary blip before society adjusted and “that people would grow more accepting” of photos or problematic comments from the past.
“It’s the polar opposite,” she said. “It’s more reactionary and judgmental than it’s ever been.”
Why haven’t repeated calls to replace digital shaming with empathy and compassion resonated? Or at the very least, why hasn’t a fear of mutually assured destruction set in?

“I think it’s because it’s worked, so partisan operatives and actors are going to continue to use the technique,” Ms. Ball said. “They ginned up this outrage to get Emily Wilder fired. And then they have the temerity to cry about ‘cancel culture.’”
That is the current phrase used by the political right to describe punishing people for “wrongthink.” According to Pew, a majority of Americans are now familiar with the term, but feelings are mixed about whether it’s beneficial, leading to a more accountable society, or a cruel form of punishment, willfully taking people’s actions out of context.
Part of the problem is how time itself has been warped by the internet. Everything moves faster than before. Accountability from an individual’s employer or affiliated institutions is expected immediately upon the unearthing of years-old content. Who you were a year ago, or five years ago, or decades ago, is flattened into who you are now. Time has collapsed and everything is in the present because it takes microseconds to pull it up online. There is little appreciation for context or personal evolution.
And it’s not just happening to journalists and politicians, whose jobs invite frequent public musings, but to high school students and business executives, because we are all now online so much of the time.

Some see the benefit in this shift. In the same Pew survey, of over 10,000 people, more than half approved of calling out people for their behavior on social media, saying it helps hold people accountable. “People look closer at their actions, forcing them to examine what they are doing, why they are doing it, and what are the consequences of said actions,” said one of the people surveyed.
Ms. Ball remains hopeful that things will change. “The reactionary culture is damaging and unhelpful and just really brutal for everybody involved,” she said. “A lot of our society wants to see ourselves as believing in forgiveness, believing in redemption, believing in the ability of people to learn and grow and get better.”
She pointed to the backlash against Ms. Wilder’s firing; dozens of staff members wrote an open letter to The A.P. expressing dismay.
“The less successful it is, the less that it works,” she said, “the less interest in it people are ultimately going to have.”
After a pause though, she added: “A lot of that comes down to how corporate H.R. departments handle themselves, which is not a great place to place your hopes.”
For Ms. Ball herself, the unearthing of her party pics, and resulting “scandal,” ultimately provided a professional boost. Cable news programs invited her on air to talk about it, and then, impressed at her performance, invited her back to comment on other political happenings, leading to her current role.
“I was very fortunate,” she said. “The only reason I ended up with a career in media was because of this attempted, like, cancellation.”
