It wasn't that long ago anyway. It feels like it was yesterday.

Everything gets worse over time online. /jp/, 4chan, the internet itself, it's all been downhill since the start.
Just hold onto those dreamlike days in your heart and continue to search for happiness.

Say it again, but slowly.

I left this board 5 years ago. Imagine my surprise when I see generals and not just generals, but 3DPD generals.

here, this one's longer

the history of /jp/

I don't think these ever got continued.

/jp/ started out as a complete abortion, but got better over time. It's regressed a bit since it's quality height but is still better than it' beginings

/v/ became bad when people started to flood /b/ but got bored of it- video games being the next childish step after joing le lejun, many of them found their way to /v/

Very different. Straight after launch was just shitposting, but it eventually settled as a sort of Japan/Random board with significant presence of Touhou and visual novels, and some self-contained recurring threads. It was far less condensed and organized than it is now. Then, later on, it became Shitposting/General for a while. Afterwards, it became Touhou/General with some self-contained recurring threads (visual novels joined the 'recurring threads' group) and became much more like it is now. Then recently the number of subjects discussed on /jp/ increased, including Monster Girl stuff and multiple idol threads (seriously, what the hell is up with all the 3D on /jp/ nowadays? I've even seen it posted outside of idol threads).

Most of people who were interested in discussions have already left. You had to leave as well, but see you made a big mistake.
New people don't care about otaku culture, and they don't know anything about it. So they have to resort to dump images, posting silly retorts and discuss "lazy culture" and "stuff I saw on other boards.

Not a particularly old example, but does anyone remember the walking sleeping bags?

That was a fun one.
