I found /jp/ on SA back in 2004. I remember back before we had all these greentexting /b/uugums from /a/v/b/. I never clicked on another board in my life (most proud achievement in my life) but I know they're all filled with nothing but reaction images and memes. I clicked on 2ch once and they didn't have any reaction images. Why do only baka gaijin use reaction images and memes? I wish I was Nippon.

Agree completely. Around mid 2005 after the huge influx of newfags due to the habbo raids /b/ really turned into shit. Early 2006 /b/ died completely for me, far too much CP was getting posted.

I can remember when I started really hating memes. It was around the Hobbo raids and I saw seeing someone spam desu in WoW. I had always kept 4chan seperate from everything else, so it was very annoying to see that being spammed, and knowing where that guy was from and exactly what he was like.

I have disliked memes and people who use them ever since. I haven't posted a reaction image since I left /a/ for /jp/ when it was created, and I have never greentexted like /a/b/v/ once. This usually leads to my posts being overlooked because they're too long and people are paranoid about being "trolled" by kopipe.

This brings me to another thing that annoys me. What's everyone's fascination with trolling? What they're doing isn't even trolling.

Though I originally came from Animesuki, I must have started browsing there during 2003 or so. I'm surprised it still exists to be honest, back then it had a lot more traffic and fansubbers were more strict on not fansubbing licensed titles.

2003. I hate desu spam, I hate habbo raids, I hate people coming over from gaia/animesuki/ann and then posting about how they suck so they can get 4chan cred, I hate EFG and that stupid guy fawkes mask, I hate people using the terms oldfags and newfags, I hate endless summer, I hate LEIGUN, I hate rules 1&2, I hate milhouse, I hate not being able to say epic and legendary anymore, and I hate pretty much anything related to /b/ from 2005 on. It was about that time I hid in /a/ and discovered Nanoha and pretty much started seriously watching anime (as in downloading it and not just watching whatever on TV.) Also /v/.

/v/ became pretty bad over time, and I can't stand /a/'s taste nowadays.

/jp/ is pretty much my last refuge. As in literally the only site I regularly visit online anymore. I'll probably just quit the internet and go back to playing video games when it falls to ruin.

>>8112677
I want to say I hate memes too, but the truth is I hate new memes that are bad. Too many of them are forced stupid shit people spam over and over instead of funny things and in-jokes people hooked on to. Also retarded over-detailed faces out of context of the comics they were posted in are not memes, nor are they funny to toss into other comics.

Though I can't talk since I like going >/jp/ and those autism macros because they so accurately capture the way some people on /jp/ act. Which is my other problem with memes- in jokes are funny only in the context they were created. They are not funny to randomly shout in public or create websites about. What I hate is this generation that thinks internet is real life and serious business and not just a source of entertainment completely detached from any real relevance.

I don't honestly know why I'm here anymore. I wish moot really HAD banned my entire isp that one time.

Go to VNDB, pick out a VN that you might find interesting, acquire, read, and tell us about it. Nobody is going to give a fuck if it's babby's first VN, it's much more preferable to discuss 5 year old VN than talking about autism.

Discovered 4chan 2006-2007 ish. Stayed for /a/, /b/, and porn. I remembered back when /jp/ was created, I thought to myself, "haha, what fags. what the fuck is the purpose of the damn board anyway?" The irony. Nowadays /jp/ is the only place I go to on the net.

Oh, fuck you OP for reminding me how much time I've lost in this cesspool.

I wish /jp/ was a place that created original content, but all it does is run the OC thread guys into their ghetto and hate anything that falls outside touhou and shitposting. I know this isn't /i/ or /ic/ but it'd be nice to see some support. Maybe some community made flashes or games.

Since when did a couple threads qualify as spam? Are you a grandma who just discovered the internet? 3 threads you don't like doesn't qualify as spam. Stop ruining these terms which have meaning.

The board /a/ has actual spam. There is autistic child spamming accelerator threads every 15 seconds once he comes around. Before he was bombing threads he didn't like. That's spam, grandma.

First lurked 2005, maybe even late 2004. First post? Probably end of 2005, I have a hard time remembering anymore, its been so long and I've changed so much since then that I don't even regard myself as being the same person when such large intervals of time are considered. At first I used to go on /s/ for 3DPD and then /b/ for entertainment (with visits to /h/, /e/, /c/, others). I was watching animu at that time as well, but I can't recall going to /a/ too much. After a while, /b/ become quite fast and high-traffic (not nearly as fast as it is today, maybe about as fast as /a/? Not that I've been on /a/ in a while now) and I decided to visit /a/, whose pacing was maybe slightly faster than /jp/ (threads could last 1/4-1/2 a day to a day at best, but hitting the bump limit wasn't that unusual). I stopped visiting most other boards frequently and mostly stayed with /a/. In the meantime, I did get involved in fansubbing and that led me to read some of the very earlier VN translations and eventually got myself involved with some projects which I'm not going to mention here as it'd just be attention-whoring. After more time than I can remember, mods were cracking down on touhou hijacks, loli manga, various off-topic discussion, VN threads and whatnot on /a/ and /a/ kept having metathreads about starting a /a/+/b/ kind of board as /b/ by that time was no longer the /b/ that used to be ("anime"-themed originally), mostly because of the heavy "censorship" that went on in /a/ (non-anime/manga-related threads, which were quite seemingly /a/-related, but not quite).

Not that much time after that (maybe days, or maybe a week or two, I can't recall) moot made /jp/. /jp/ in its early days was quite adventurous and was quite directionless (acording to moot's opinion at least). /jp/ did develop quite a varied culture and we had the first full archive, as well as a posting etiquette that was quite fervently defended. In the passing years, it seems spammers got more and more prevalent (especially anime screencap ones) and defying our janitor more and more. /jp/ isn't as much fun as it was originally for me, but it's still irreplaceable, so I keep on visiting it, along with one world4ch textboard that we all know about. Obviously I skipped many developements over the years, but they're in our memories and enumerating them will require having to split this post into more than 2 parts, which I don't feel like doing now.

Let's hope /jp/ continues to live a long and prosperous life!

Around 2006 probably, my friend linked me here.
Was mostly into raids, though that died out on /b/. Went to 420 for a bit until their /i/ got taken down, then Scientology hit and I hung up my laz0r. I lurked /m/ and /v/, though /v/ turned to shit and /m/ was pretty stale content wise. Then I started lurking /a/ around 08 and when /jp/ was created I came here.

There was a big thing going on about a site called imagefap, and we had image macros telling you to look up "lolita". It was around 9th grade, so I want to say 05-06 range.
I found it because i was looking for porn on dogpile.com, and one of the images was a demotivational with a naked 2D girl, and it had "4chan" in bold text on it.

I've forgotten about 4chan's existence until I found /u/ completely by accident sometime back in 2005-ish, and have been lurking there on several occasions for fap material.
