For me, yes absolutely I'm new to forums in general. And I think that applies to most of the other 4chan refugees. Outside of kiwi farms I've never interacted with forums; born to late and didn't have internet when I was young then when I got it I ended up using social media and image boards.

Not signed. I am posting here more frequently due to the 4chan outage, but I used internet forums prior to discovering 4chan in 2006 or 2007 from a high school buddy in gym class who told me there was weird porn there. To be honest I always just thought of 4chan as a forum, just one that was completely anonymous. But prior to 4chan I utilized multiple forums, mostly drug-related or paranormal related. One of them, shroomery.org is still around and a surprisingly vibrant forum today.

Little known fact, the Pepe the frog meme aka Feelsgoodman frog actually got it's start on Shroomery.org back in the day. Perhaps not the first usage, but people were posting Pepe's on shroomery back in 2006/2007 I think mainly as e-stickers embedded within forum posts.

Overall it is sad how a lot of older forums died out, but I also think it is inspiring how many still remain. Personally, I blame Reddit way more for destroying forums than 4chan or other image boards. Image boards are great for discussing topical ephemera, but old school forums are great for long discussions on specific topics. This is why automotive forums for various makes and models are still quite popular among all age groups. You'll always find better information on automotive repair on an old vbulletin style forum than you will from a subreddit dedicated to that car or automaker

I can't blame reddit alone, it's the people. They just fucking suck ass. Look what happened to Muffwiggler

If they're messing with the site right now, it's clearly not because they're ready to put it back online. Certainly not this soon. They're probably cleaning up whatever was left in the wake of their hasty plug-pulling, and slapping together a proper landing page explaining the situation as vaguely and unhelpfully as possible while letting visitors know they're "working on it" with no ETA because they have no fucking idea how fast they can get it done, themselves... only that Hiro wants them to take the quickest, cheapest, laziest route back to whatever resembles normalcy so he can sit back and let the money roll in again.

I always rolled my eyes at the nobodyfags, but I never thought about the parallels to Qtard shit until your post. Now that you point it out, it really is just the same vagueposting + "you are special, just wait and do nothing and everything will right itself bg deus ex machina because you believed" template for a slightly different audience. Good observation.

/x/ was disappointing a lot of times.
I went to Trans-Alleghany Lunatic Asylum up in West Virginia and tried to set up a group ritual through /x/. I got like 20 people saying they were going to meet me there, no one showed up first off, and when I offered to livestream a solo ritual, no one wanted to watch it because they thought the spirits were going to portal through the camera and haunt them so I ended up just not even bothering to break in at night and just did a ouija session on the property. It was alright but most of what came through was nonsense except for a few questions of mine being answered with short answers, I had a better one in a simple graveyard in my own town. It sucks not being able to find dedicated people, most people just want to larp they don't actually study or do anything.

Same problem TBH - no idea why that place had such a hold on me and other people. No where else on the internet was like that to me - maybe the place was autism crack? Either way I am happy to be finally free.

My guess is that you were constantly having to hit F5 to stay as refreshed as possible. Things move at lightning speed over there. You don't need to do the same here, and you can just settle into a couple of threads, leave, and only be behind by multiple pages if something big happens. And even if you do get a little behind, the threads aren't getting purged, so they'll be there when you come back.

I think it was too. For the same reasons you mentioned. The targeting was too precise to be random.

They may have been attempting to manipulate reality on the quantum level and manifest him into reality too, in a sort of "double slit" experiment sort of way. The "rules" to this reality are much weirder than a lot of people realize. There were also a lot of actual witches on that board.

Glowie witches... just think of it, man.
