I started using 4chan in 2006 I think. I am only on /lit/ now and even then I usually only go on for five minutes while I eat my breakfast. I avoid posting most times, sometimes it can lead to a productive conversation but usually it's just stupid arguing with someone who goes silent without resolving anything. It just isn't worth the effort. A good measure of how good my life is going is how much time I spend on 4chan. I find that the more time I put into my hobbies the less time I like spending here.

Turned 18 last month. Been browsing this awful website since I was 11, /lit/ since I was 14 or 15. To give credit where credit is due, I never would have read Ulysses, the book that really set me down the path of imaginative literature, if not for this board. It certainly has gotten worse since I discovered it though, and I honestly feel that I have more knowledge and interest than the vast majority of people here. I feel that I've outgrown 4chan as a whole, but I keep coming here.

I don't quite get the point of these shitty, weird survey threads though. Sheer narcissism.

Initially, it was /b/ like everyone. I was an only child and my parents got me a PC when I was quite young and I'd been surfing the internet from a young age. I think I initially heard about it from online forums and chat rooms I was visiting at the time.

The first "real" board I found was /mu/, once I noticed that there were all these other hobbyist boards, and that became my main board for years. It taught me a lot about music and shaped my tastes (like all boards have for their respective interests)

At one point I was going to /toy/ and /co/ a lot and /x/ around 2008.

I found /tv/ in 2009 and that was about equal to /mu/ for me but eventually surpasses it when /mu/ became insufferable (~2011-2012)

Discovered /fa/ in 2010, and through the guides, would stop dressing like shit. Started browsing /lit/ around this time or maybe 09 and got more into reading classic literature

Started browsing /pol/ post-deletion and revival around the election, maybe 2015 and enjoyed the news/shitposting for a while

I check /ck/ a bit now because I like to cook but also it's a fun board. Also started browsing/posting on /g/ and /sci/ in the last few years

Board culture changes a lot all the time, boards go from being great to boring to shit, causing me to leave them for a while and then they'll get good again (sometimes). This happened with /x/, definitely and /mu/ except /mu/ has just been getting worse and worse imo

At one point I considered the /lit/, /mu/, /tv/ trinity to be the best boards. Still like /lit/ and /tv/ although they vary in quality
