/b/ and /pol/ are no longer funny so if that's what you mean then the site is dead but there was no specific turning point.
/sci/ and /g/ are usually good for one or two decent threads and the YLYL threads in /gif/ do occasionally have some new and funny videos if you can find a thread that is not 100% gay and interracial porn.

>Newfag doesn't know how to greentext on the 'arms
>Pulled up some VERY specific lolicon porn statistics AND linked a site where you can find said porn a few pages back
>Seems to be really on the up-and-up on the goings on at reddit
>Still seems to be green enough to be told as an outsider at first glance, does not know basic site culture
>"Yup, that 4chan (thread) is the place for me!"

I swear this happens with the most annoying tourists everytime. This is why bullying is always a correct form of removing them.
>not using #789922 for greentext

I feel like the feds will raid my house just for having read this post. Jesus Christ, what a weasel.

Project Chanology was the first cancer cell. That was the first time when "internet is srs bsns" stopped being a meme and causefags started using 4chan as their soapbox for their goals. That event set the precedent for every other happening and political shit influx that would happen later on.

Chanology, for the first time, changed a section of 4chan from a place where you could go to take a break from the real world to some battle ground for the current thing you had to do something about. It was "SRS BZNS!!!", but somehow for real.

The cancerous growth that later spiraled out of control might have started much earlier, had it not been for moot's disinterest in politics, which led him to shut the whole thing down.
'08 was around the time the internet slowly started to get recognised as a real force. I was still mostly on SA at the time but it was pretty cool at the time (between 2008-12) that internet stuff was finally getting the recognition it deserved, the internet-based artists, musicians, Let's Players, the memes, etc. In retrospect it was the beginning of the end.

The whole point behind Project Chanology was to get back at Scientology for censoring/taking down that video of a Tom Cruise interview where he talks about the cult though.
 
I'm probably going to say the Fappening/Gamergate double-whammy. The site had been in decline since Chanology imo but I would say that those two events accelerated it. Moot had already sold out, was probably already preparing his exit plan to Google. I agree with @AnOminous that him wrecking the janny/mod team and selling it to Hiro was spiteful and spelled the definitive end. The 2016 Election and subsequent influx of literal retarded boomers and reddit refugees was just the nail in the coffin.

/sci/ has been absolute dogshit since the coof. Every other thread is now /pol/bait.
 
Browsing TV before the follow up thread got deleted but I guess there was a 300+ post thread on the debate tonight. Everyone who posted in it got a permaban.

Starting to think it only feels like a overflow of spammers and porn is not because they are in such huge quantities but because the tranny jannies have succeeded in getting rid of everyone else with their liberal use of banning that spammers and porn are the only ones left.
 
2014. Gamergate, the Fappening and moot leaving were the final three nails in the coffin of 4chan. I think most of the old internet died in 2014 and earlier, as the internet formed this final narrow shape it has taken now where everything looks like it's been formatted for a mobile screen and everything uses the same (circular) sources for information.
I want to agree with this but I also was there during the 2016 election and I would call 4chan anything but dead during that time. The energy on the site during 2015 and 2016 leading up to Trump winning was fucking electric. I've never experienced something like that before or since. The fappening, Gamergate then Moot leaving all did irreversible damage to 4chan but it still had one last hurrah imo.
 
Hundreds of permas and not a single mention of it anywhere on the site? Calling bullshit.

Just reporting a thread I saw before it got deleted. They had a screenshot of their ban message saying permaban for politics in TV or something to that effect.

I might have fallen for something fake and gay though.

I miss meme Magick so much. Call me schizo but I honestly do think pol manage to tap into something metaphysical when it was all Pepe.

Total trannyjanny death. They just want the 'cuck to become Reddit 2.0 for people who want to be edgy, since spam and porn are all Reddit is.

I should've put an asterisk with 2016. That year was like a one-off 4chan special or encore, where anons remembered what doing it for teh lulz meant by trying to get a celebrity tv host elected as the president. Even GBS on SA was good during that year, like it was /pol/-lite.

But it was just mostly that year, like a dead cat bounce. 2017 it went straight back into the sharp decline of 2014.
 
3 day ban
/tv/, a thread about the presidental debate
someone says "I'm still ridin' with Biden" with no image; I reply "ridin' on a morgue gurney" with no image.
Violation of rule 1, Off-topic; all images and discussion should pertain to television shows, movies, actors/actresses, and filmmaking.

I hate these janny niggers so fucking much.

Oh this explains alot. Came here to post about my fucking ban before reading this.

It was a fun bit of trolling were we could take our nihilism and do a bit of good for the world.

It was, it turned out, fucking without a condom and getting unluck.

The true AIDS was the whole “anonymous hacking group” shit. Once a bunch of lefty script kiddies thought they owned 4chan whilst glowing so hard the normie media got interested it was done.
