I wonder about the origins of this legendary phrase. I always found it improbable that someone would actually post an apparent question about taking some male to the bar in text speak on 4chan.

You know, given how much early 4chan ironically posted in/made fun of chatspeak, netspeek, l33t, lolspeak, typos, and the like, I'm surprised that 4chan became more and more anal about writing patterns over time instead of descending into low quality nonsense by people who thought they were in good company. It's not like the quality of posts rule was enforced that much. Netspeak just became really uncool for some reason, even though kids still use it.

Someone posted that on /b/ and got banned. Normally it would've just been brushed aside but at the time the board was completely lawless and users were losing faith in the administrative powers at work.

We can't go back to who we where back then. The userbase is just too different. If anything, excessive moderation would only make /jp/ stray further from what it used to be; it was actually moderation that killed a lot of the non-general threads back when /jp/ started to take its current shape. Now almost everything is a general thread, and this thread too will get deleted once a janitor finds it. That's the current state of /jp/.

>When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.

I don't really remember too much. I enjoyed the novelty of anonymous posting. Beyond that it wasn't much of a shift, since before 4chan I spent my free time lurking FYAD and during the 00's the humour of both boards was very similar (although FYAD was way more mean and elitist, which is why I found /jp/ attractive)

What do you mean by that? If you mean like 2003 /b/, you need a community composed ONLY of hardcore gamer/anime nerds who aren't afraid to make fun of each other/themselves/the things they like/the internet as a whole. They also need to not be tainted by twitter/tumblr reposting culture and not too lazy to make their own content. They also need to be experienced in that restricted forum style of posting and able to see 4chan as "that place where I can speak freely without being judged by post history or number of likes/upvotes/karma" and not as "that place where I can be a total retard and jackass with impunity". You also need a plan to stop those people who rather than going to a porn board to post porn, want to go to the most public place they can and post porn and turn that into a porn board.

You would need a community made of people who thought that the internet was exciting and new, armed with the childlike sense of wonder that allowed people to create dumb things and celebrate them for what they were. What we have today is a bunch of jaded faggots, looking mostly for ways to criticize everyone else to death. I'm pretty sure the retarded children on Twitter and Tumblr today have a culture more reminiscent of the 4chan that was than the 4chan of today does, but they're crippled by the inherent shittiness of the social media structure and social media faggotry in general.

This notion that if you just figure out how to make the community elitist or insular enough that the good old days will return is dumb. I mean, it feels really good to believe, but it's still dumb. There are countless hyper-elitist communities out there that are not "vibrant" and "fun" in the slightest. The "fun" communities that still exist today are profoundly stupid ones.

It was the simultaneous combination of "enjoying dumb things" and "striving for something better" that made for a vibrant community: the courage to post dumb shit, the humility to realize that we're all dumb shitters, and a sense of community that incorporated the ideal of all us dumb shitters trying to achieve an ideal together. Missing one side you get nothing but boring professional serious business shit and missing the other side you get inane shitposting around the clock.

>>20024068
I don't think there will be a new layer over the internet. If somebody tries to invent a new layer, someone else will build an interface for that new layer, and yet another someone else will mass-market it and bring over the entirety of the current internet. Meet the new web, same as the old web. There's no reason to think that people won't drag everything that exists into the "new thing" the same way that all of real life has already been dragged onto the internet.

I really hope someone out there will prove me wrong about this, but I can't help but think that the days when the internet were a "frontier" have come to a permanent end.

This is just my own theory, but up until 2008-2009 most normal people still considered "the Internet" to be another device that you use to communicate with other people, find information and make tasks easier. You could play games on it, or watch flash videos and movies in glorious 480p. You could absolutely waste a lot of your time on a computer with internet access.

But to do this, you usually had to stay rooted to a desktop. Laptops were these massively clunky things, batteries would die after two hours doing anything beyond reading text files, public wifi wasn't widespread and where it did exist it was often crap (and sometimes cost money). Mobile internet was expensive and barely functioned. Smartphones were mostly for businessmen and rich kids. Early chan culture was therefore representative of the mindset of people who WOULD spend their fridey night on their desktop, getting into flame wars and reposting image macros. While normal people would be disconnected from the internet on their days off or at work, we would spend our days off from school/uni permanently online, interacting with each other in these small homogeneous communities of lonely nerds.

We can't go back to that. Genie's out of the bottle. Early chan culture was very much a product of its technological environment and that's gone.

/jp/ definitely harassed people, at least on the board. Like the guy who really hated that this person with "fujiwara mokou" as a name would put his livestream link in the email field and would spam whenever that person posted, and the person(s) who didn't get selected for that LN magazine someone tried to make and started spamming fake threads about it 24/7. The people relating to shitposting doxxed each other I think, but I think that was mostly on /ghost/ than here.

/jp/ always seemed pretty serious when talking about death too, be it suicide or telling others to die, though I don't think they ever made fun of anyone. The closest thing I can think of is everyone laughing at that attention whore Mugen when the police investigated his "company" for smuggling onions into the Philippines and mocking him with images of onions every time someone even brought him up. Though that was more about the absurdity of it.

Well, as someone who played both Suigetsu and Toraha, I'd argue their circumstances and motives for getting popular were different. Waha really is nothing but a unimportant side character (well, she did have a route though) in Suigetsu who got popular because of the fandom, the game also had plenty of excellent lolis whose I wonder to this day why they never got popular like her or Yuki.
On the other hand Nanoha is pretty much the second most important character of Toraha 3 (the fandisc is pretty much the sequel for the main game instead of a fandisc), but she wasn't exactly the most popular one before getting it own series, I think.

It just lost the most useful vectors, and stopped being relevant:

>PC Gaming
From the days of Quake until the standardization of voice chat, you needed to type efficiently to communicate during the game. These days, you just activate an emotespam or micspam for the same effect.

>IRC
In older, super-busy channels, it also made sense to type as quickly as possible in order to carry on the flow of conversation. I can't remember the last time I was in an IRC channel and this was the case (except for bots).

>AOL Online Chat & Co.
See Above

Probably the largest overall driver of condensed text. With the emergence of non-SMS mobile chatting utilities, along with touch/swype keyboards that allow a relatively low amount of effort for decent WPM, this too has only been actively preserved in certain contexts.

God fucking hell. Looking at /b/ now to that -- and even comparing /b/ to 2012 /b/. /b/ is just porn now and I mean almost just porn and people jerking off to their friend's facebooks and instagrams. God damn it. People used to complain about 4chan in 2012, but looking at it now? No wonder moot left. Besides growing out of the old culture, he had no connection to the new one forming. And it's poetic that he put janitors in charge to decimate one of the boards that most resembled those of the earlier days of the site.

I don't even come to this shit site anymore. It's not fun anymore. The kids now browsing this place are mentally sterile. Not even an iota as funny as the faggots that used to browse here 10 years ago, let alone 6.

Also, /pol/ became the center of the site, and /pol/ is probably the worst board to ever curse it.

>> No.20034729,13 [INTERNAL] 

/pol/ is currently the board closest to old /b/ and people take it way too seriously, including those /pol/ runoff that come to preach their retardation on other boards. It's not anywhere near as bad as the old /n/ and /new/ variants that happened before /pol/ since /pol/ never took itself seriously to begin with. You have to remember /pol/ is the third iteration after /n/ and /new/ flooded into the boards after being removed.

Also as far as I know, /pol/ doesn't raid forums, prank call gamestop, send hundreds of pizzas to random people on the internet they they don't like, ddos websites, and isn't responsible for the mutation of that comic frog from what it was into what it is today. In fact, /r9k/ is the real problem of 4chan, them and /x/ with its retarded insane conspiracy theorists that get mixed up into politics. It's just a pool of stupid memes, fake infographics, shitposting, and thinly veiled porn threads. The worst thing /pol/ ever did is put a maga hat on Momiji, which while kind of annoying, does provoke irrational anger in people and so is used more by shitposters than /pol/.

As for people getting involved in political talk unnecessarily, that's something that's taken over the internet. It's not a /pol/ specific thing.
