/sci/ - Science & Math

>Someone from the time before the shitlord EK even existed

/sci/ was indeed better, let me explain you how:

>1)
We discussed a lot of psychology and philosophy-related things. Yes, that is correct, all the shitty memes about those two came after that. There were people who would blow your mind with their thoughts, people who would change your view on reality just by a single post.
What happened, you ask? Everytime someone made an interesting, fun discussion thread, which made you think very hard, those "memes" came to existance, like "fuck off to >>>/lit/ and >>>/x/". That was not quite the problem, the problem was the literally autistic mods who started banning people for opening such threads based on those memes, slowly making the non-retarded part of /sci/ leave for other boards, because no one likes getting banned by power-tripping retards

>2)
/sci/ had a board culture back then. A very good one, even. One of the best from all the boards. Shit like the engineering jokes, the >300k meme, raiding other boards with that >300k meme, posting threads from /x/ and laughing at their stupidity, a fuckton of things were coming up and we had a lot of laughs. All that shit you currently see is getting reposted since 2-3 years. This board hasn't come up with a single meme for more than a year now.

>3)
The average IQ here was higher. As I said above, a lot of smart people left. Damn, I remember how great responses you could get from here. I'd ask myself "holy fuck how is someone capable of coming up with an idea like that" almost every week. It was so good that I even considered this the best board.

Any many other small shit that made this board an exciting place to browse every day.
