This is genuinely my favorite board, and I'm mainly a lurker

user, are you me? I love this board, but most of the time I feel my post will be of any help to anyone (like this one). That and my somewhat basic level of english.

Holy shit summer, it's only May. Calm yo tits and go back to wherever you came from.

Quests. Or maybe that was longer ago.

American election season. Rampant /pol/faggotry all over the place. American retards americunting the whole place into a post-apocalyptic wankfest of vagina-the-size-of-the-halls-of-Mordor proportions. Biblical shitposting, the kind of fucking cancerous shit that would turn you into a fucking salt pillar. Brimstone and fire motherfucker. Collosal faggotry the likes not seen on Veeky Forums since RedMachineD and Jim Profit.

>user, are you me? I love this board, but most of the time I feel my post will be of any help to anyone (like this one). That and my somewhat basic level of english.
*won't be

And six months ago was still worse than six years ago.

Quests have been an issue for a couple of years, not just in the last six months really.

Like, I want to say the big quest boom was more than a couple of years.

Yeah, but six months ago we had them. Now we dont. Things are better. Im well aware of the history of quests on this board.

You just described Veeky Forums as a whole at basically all times, except replace Americans with "everyone" and /pol/faggotry with just "faggotry".

Don't pretend Veeky Forums's occasional shitty spikes are "biblical", we are the eternal sea of shit, once in a while we'll swell and rise, but we always even back. Liquid shit with tiny, tiny diamonds to be found at the bottom. Sometimes.

I think you need to work on your reading comprehension.

Some boards never recovered

C'mere, you.

Except nothing good actually replaced them.

>Yeah, but six months ago we had them. Now we dont. Things are better. Im well aware of the history of quests on this board.
I disagree, but it won't be too long before Veeky Forums gets a new mod who likes having quest threads on Veeky Forums.

Then we can go back to the way this board used to be.

Well there's good news and there's bad news, son. The good news is your cancer seems to have abated, it's safe to assume you're cured. The bad news it nothing good's actually replaced it.

I don't the epic asspain the questfags put on display in every metathread is pretty good.

I think you need to lurk moar.

Quests have been gone for longer than six months mate, a good bit longer. Lurk moar, your ignorance is showing.

Dude the election was really bad times for the site. Worst it's ever been in my decade here.

And the rectal ragnarok from the anti-questfags will be just as funny as the questfags anal apocalypse.

>/pol/ is primarily a containment board for stormfags
>every stormfag worth their salt migrated to infinity long ago
>/qst/ is primarily a containment board for questfags
>every questfag worth their salt migrated to akun long ago

>people will never keep blaming either group for having different opinions than they do even though they might as well not be on the site anymore

That's not the kinda shit to change from mod to mod.

Sorry friends :^)

It still hasn't fucking subsided.

Anytime someone says something mildly liberal, 1000 anti-sjws still left over from fucking gamergate jump on them.

And now dumb /pol/lacks have shit up the board for blue and red fa/tg/uys alike.

Dumb radicals who don't know how to shut their mouths for five seconds.

It's our boogyman

Yup. That's the American election process for you.

Thanks. I like you too.

>tfw remembered a time back in the 2006 where the term snowflake was used exclusively to describe borderline Mary sue characters with too much characterization
>now I hear the term thrown around almost every day on fox news

It's scary too think how much this site impacts internet and American culture despite the fact that it's demonized so much

>when you realise there are actual straight up tinfoil nutcases that think they can influence the real world with "meme magic" on a mongolian porn sharing website

I work a research job. Time is meaningless to me. I frequently forget how long Ive been living with my girlfriend.

I mean i'll agree that thinking "special snowflake" has entered everyday parlance thanks to Veeky Forums is pretty retarded, but the cultural impact of some of the shit anons pull is hard to deny.

Memes seeping into the real world and meme magic are two different things.

I DENY ITTTTTT

that was easy
granted the most retarded parts of chan culture often trickle down into sites like Reddit and 9gag, which in turn leak some butchered/accessible version of that slime into social media giants. That is about the extent of the impact, I think saying Veeky Forums influences American culture as a whole is taking it too far.

Veeky Forums influences internet culture pretty heavily, which in turns influences more modern American culture. Veeky Forums is like the spawning vat back to which you can trace like %80 of all memes.

No, I mean there are fucking retarded cunts on this website that straight up believe their posts have an effect on society.

What is posted on Veeky Forums certainly has a macro effect on society. But your posts, my posts? They don't mean shit.

Actually, most successful Veeky Forums memes were invented by SomethingAwful. We just appropriated them.

Thats like saying that your vote doesnt count. I mean, individually none of us have an impact, but they made pepe a fucking official hate symbol.

Well that's because we dont worship that "kek" thing, or whatever, yeah?

C'mon user, ya just gotta post more frogs.

And then the magic is that everyone instantly knows to ostracize that person.

Yeah, just ignore that basically everything done on /pol/ is reported by the media as coming from Veeky Forums and memes becoming real and leaking into RL within days (see white power symbol joke for the latest example.)
I don't understand how people like you need to pretend to be logical while you're in fact the most irrational contrarians of the site.
Here, I'll post the key-words of your weak OS to confuse you further:
Logic
Rational
Skeptic
Level-headed
Thinking man
Atheist
Smug

I think Veeky Forums has been one of the single biggest contributors to online culture, but my perspective is sqewed since i literally matured into an adult on this website. 12 years baby!

I've been here for 5 or 6

I haven't really noticed anything different

You have no frame of reference. I remember playing Ganguro Girl on /f/ back in 2005.

>Here, I'll post the key-words of your weak OS to confuse you further:
wtf are you even talking about, meme magician?
Sure some news network might run the occasional story on a /pol/ joke that leaked onto Twitter or a school shooter who warned /r9k/ the night before but I'm still "'""skeptical"""" about the hacker known as Veeky Forums's ability to control the cultural landscape of America from the shadows.

>online culture
Yes now that is the right domain and this place has certainly become popular enough to exert a lot of influence there. Not really to the benefit of this site, mind you.

I disagree

Tg is ten years old and I've been here for 5 to 6 years if I remember right

Nothing has seemed to changed too much outside of quest being made

>I've been here for 5 or 6
>I haven't really noticed anything different
Veeky Forums crashed hard in 2011 when Nazimod took over. If you weren't here before 2010, you don't know how amazing Veeky Forums used to be.

>That's not the kinda shit to change from mod to mod.
You're right, we need a new site owner. The old site owner liked having quest threads on Veeky Forums, so maybe the next site owner will also enjoy having them here.

Like you too mate cheers!

>If you weren't here before 2010, you don't know how amazing Veeky Forums used to be.

I was.

I mostly recall entire pages full of explicit porn only vaguely connected to Veeky Forums. "Elf slave wat do?" spams were the tamest of it.

If you say so user

>you don't know how amazing Veeky Forums used to be
sergals and scat aren't what I'd call amazing

Pretty much like that, yes. Good times.

>modern Veeky Forums with its rampant furfaggotry, endless generals, and 'le magical realm' spam, and no fun OC ever that isn't forced as fuck
>good
Being the least worst board doesn't make Veeky Forums good

Do you think Veeky Forums will survive it again in four years.

The golden age for me was the age of monstergirls, maybe 6 or so years back. I left after the deluge of questthreads ruined the board, along with nazi-mods. I've been away for many years but it seems like the board is alright now again. I'd still like more monstergirls though.

>Implying Trump manages that long before being impeached

I'm one of them, because I am full of hate for what the leftists have done to europe. There's a lot of discontent, don't expect it to become better before it gets worse.

>Implying he won't get rid of two terms rule
>Implying we won't have this every 4 years until the comb-over ascends beyond the mortal form

>Quality has gone way down
Everybody says this about everything. Long before the days of the internet, men would lament that things were better in the olden days.

No, user, the quality hasn't gone down. The quality has remained constant - it was just as shit when you were younger, you just didn't know any better then.

If you want monster girls make centaur threads

I think I've only been here since.. maybe.. 2009? 2010? I didn't start using Veeky Forums until I was in my 1st or 2nd year of college, but I immediately gravitated to Veeky Forums due to it's creative side.

This is the only place on this shit site where you can really flex your >IMAGINATION muscles and I appreciate it immensely for it.

My only criticism though would be that Veeky Forums does not in fact "get things done" and the idea that it does or has is self-masturbatory; you make some neat stuff, but most of your content and culture is pretty self-contained.

...

>and there is that guy
Congrats on proving his point, genius.

No real rules about posting, no real rules about moderation. When the on duty janitor happens to be on the rag you might get b& for things that would normally fly. And vice versa.

You are good too, OP.
Damn, this thread makes me so nostalgic. Post nazi mod, post quests, post Jim Profit, post everything, this place now feels so different from before.

And yet, this is the only part of Veeky Forums that I could ever call my home, for I'm always coming back to it sooner or later.

May the Emprah bless you all.

>I read on ED that people used to call each other summerfags to show how cool they are and how long they'd been here in contrast and tell them to lurk moar in 2011

You're so forgettable, Mr Everyone
