It's hard to tell how much this board has changed in that amount of time. I'm not sure if I accurately remember it very much or if my memories have been distorted. I remember DFW and Joyce posting dominated. This board seems to cycle between NEET friendly to NEET hatred. At that time it was very NEET friendly.

I came to lit during a period of heavy DFW and Pynchon posting. As it happens, I was lucky enough to almost be done with IJ before coming here so I wasn't tainted. The other day I remembered a phase this board went through but I can't remember it now... I wish I could though

I only learned about Wallace from this board. I wouldn't quite say I wish I hadn't. I did feel like I got memed with IJ but I think I found enough of his essays funny enough to balance it out a bit.

I couldn't stand Veeky Forums's inception with all the tripfriends. The recent Reddit influx has taken a lot of the edge off and added plebbery.

I came seeking the origin of the Stirner memes that were circulating around that time. Unfortunately, by the time I got around to reading The Ego and His Own, stirnirposting had largely died out

Damn, If I'd have to take a guess I'd say somewhere in 2013. It seems to me it was slower back then, more friendly, especially to femanons, yet it also had more serious discussion, not nearly as much shitposting.
It might just be my warped memory though.

I've been on and off the board, so i can't keep up with all the shifts in trends and memes. I remember everyone using the greek meme when i first showed up, and then a lot of DFW and Joyce stuff. Seems a huge influx of lonely NEETS has recently made its way to us, but that may just be a summer thing. could be the weather, cause i feel shitty too, or it could be summerfags. who knows?

>Rereading The God Delusion

came in 2014. i remember a lot of DFW/Pynchon/Joyce posting as well...it was insane. Stiner was huge for a while too.

Sometimes old memes pop up and it makes me nostalgic. Veeky Forums seemed to lose a step when Veeky Forums was made, though I think we've bounced back

I miss Isabelle Huppert, Deep and Edgy, and Butterfly.

Board is still basically the same, but with less interesting figures and way lower quality philosophy discussions. Also a lot more shitposting but that's cross-Veeky Forums.

Pick up Hitch-22 and Arguably if you haven't yet.

I feel like a lot more interest has been taken in philosophy on this board. I appreciate that /pol/ posters are usually received with indignation as rightfully stigmatized pseuds and nazis; that's been quite the pleasure to see since there seems to have been an influx of frog posters since I first arrived. Otherwise, as expected, people don't really talk about """literature""" too much anymore, despite how there seems to be a covert rising of interest in literature and philosophy outside this board in recent years.

I stopped going to /a/ largely because I hate the circle jerks around hating naruto and flavour of the month shit. Sure this board circle jerks too but at least you're allowed to discuss things Veeky Forums doesn't like. I'm greatful either way, I can find anything /a/ talks about very easily, even supposedly obscure shit, but this board has introduced me to some 10/10 stuff I wouldn't have found on my own like Stoner, so.
