Fags killed /b/. Too many people wanted a piece of internet culture, but most of those people were too inane to contribute to it. So any fresh content got stale immediately, if it ever surfaced at all.

It was 4chan.net.

It would die for an extended period of time on a regular basis.

2chan's flash movies ruled the world.

Japanese were banned for mooching bandwidth without contributing.

Bukibuki ruled /c/ with his loli.

100,000 posts on /b/ was a big thing. "lol internet"

iichan was made because we weren't sure 4chan was coming back.

/g/ worshipped Waita Uziga.

Manfaye was commonplace.

Worksafe/Blue boards did not exist and bathhouse nudity was accepted in /a/.

No image replies. Image floods took up entire boards.

Goatse was still at .cx.

Multi-track drifting was still popular.

Windows-tans ruled /a/ like Touhou rules /jp.

People were talking about Tsukihime instead of Fate.

...and there were actually some real tripfags.

(manager of Noritake Itron in England,Anon found his security camera IP in a google search)

We were following all his moves and work, while he was sipping coffee from Hermes, his Anonimously-baptised mug (those were the times of the Densha otoko tv drama).

well I lost the data on my old drive once so my porn only goes back to 2004, but it's still pretty good. The older stuff I would save wouldn't be horrible like 90s anime porn gifs or anything so I don't expect I'd be horrified by it.

I notice, anime wise, I seem to have been more inclined to loli than I am now. Ever time I sort old images I end up deleting a lot for creeping me out.

What ever happened to Boobzelaot and Puu from /e/? They were the sole reasons I went there. Then Riderfan came along and thought that he owned the board and acted like a smug know it all fag and together with that Casterfag they ruined it entirely.

I used to come to 4chan years ago, but I only came for /gif/. Back then it was the goldmine of the site for me and not just shitty porn gifs.

Even back then I thought /b/ was shit, and I still do.

Anyone remember Gen[M]ay? It was basically SA except you didn't have to pay to register. Photoshop threads galore. Now it's gone the way of /b/, unfortunately.
