How did you end up in this dump, stranger?
Why do you keep coming back?

I found 4chan 18 years ago when I was a socially isolated kid who just had a computer and wasn't allowed out at all.
I've been on 4chan over half my life now and r9k happens to be the comfiest board where you can actually talk to people without a real topic.

i got more and more socially isolated as time went on, i discovered 4chan (pol) in my freshman year of high school, used it for a bit, but then after i graduated, i started using 4chan a lot and then went to r9k because it seemed like the most relatable place, i keep coming back because i dont do anything else in life

During lockdown I became very isolated and realized a couple things about myself and shit, saw r9k being mentioned in some places and I thought I could find some sort of comfort or company in here since I've always felt like an underdog throughout my life and never got any friends or whatever, was a weird kid, then a weird teenager, and now a strange adult? I guess, anyways my mother died from cancer last year and that was like, ok I got no one to talk about this shit, and now my life feels very sad and lonely and that kind oi shit so I decided to actually start lurking in this website and sometimes posting or whatver, if this is redacted like shit it's because I'm really drunk :P, anyways these days I still come back cuz this place got me by the balls during a shithole period and even if it is kind of a cesspool, it's one where I can sometimes find comfort knowing that I'm not the only druggie loser in this world. and stuff

I've always been an outcast, this feel like a place for such kind and blablalbalbakaj jauotgacanfowqrhjer

Discovered 4chan as a middle schooler
Used /b/ for years
/b/ got shittier over time so began using /r9k/

>>82779885 (OP)
I was 13 or 14 on ifunny and would see funny or cool /x/, /b/, and /k/ greentexts so I looked up 4chan.

>>82779885 (OP)
Was, still, and always will be a weirdo
Naturally I gravitated towards the place where weirdos and freaks congregate

I don't actually remember how I got here but I was probably about 13 then, and now I'm 27
started on /b/, went around and explored the rest of board, settled on a few home boards throughout the years and now, for the moment at least, /r9k/ is my home

it was 08 and I was bored in class using a computer in Vocational Qualification in Business school, suffering from multiple years of undiagnosed clinical depression, at the height of my isolation after I gave up during grades 7-9 completely after getting my shit figuratively packed in for three years straight by other kids to really drive in the point that I am not normal, i do not deserve friends, I do not get a gf, I am not allowed to socialize with other people and so on (I was already bullied all the way from grade 3 but I thought that I could have a fresh start at the beginnings of teenager times).

Anyway i was googling random anime stuff and found /a/ and then lurked a and b and found my place with all the other disgusting weirdos and failures. Learned the culture and emes through observation, learned to use the site slowly, blended in and had a blast and now for the last 13 years I have watched this entire site and internet as a whole slowly grow worse and worse and die out fro it's original glory

I only come back to complain about women and make threads of fabricated bad experiences with women to further spread and grow the hatred towards all women

decided to go on to 4chan when i was 14 to see if it really was as bad as everyone said it was after hearing a girl talk about how she posted on it
first board i checked was mu and realized its just a normal fucking site
senior year i fell out with my main friend group, and started posting on here to make myself a little less lonely.
got my life in order after being a hikineet for a year, but kept posting here since i didnt go out much.
unemployed at the moment so i still post on here whenever im home in between working out and whatever

I've always been into internet culture to a degree and went on 4chan when I was like 13 because I heard it was full of le scary haxxors. I ended up taking a liking to /k/ and /g/. Both boards are dead compared to what they once were so now I'm just left with this one. I keep coming back because it is entertaining from time to time. I've had some really fun conversations here before.

>How did you end up in this dump, stranger?
back in 2014 i started coming here for the feels and greentexts, even though there weren't that many by then iirc
been in and out of the board until like 2019 when i started coming here more consistently, i guess the place just called out to me

>Why do you keep coming back?
most relatable board of all and people here keep me good company
and i have nowhere else to be for the time being

For my entire 4chong usage history, I started at /a/ and /b/ back when they were good (meme about it never being good) and then after /a/ split to /jp/ I was using both for a while, had a big /x/ period after /b/ was becoming too much of just porn dumps and camwhoring, found remnants of old /b/ in r9k for a while, had an /mlp/ period after a second bout of depressions times while being tossed around from one unpaid internship to another due to unemployment agency forcing me to go there or else, while desperately trying to fit in into the "adult" world and failing at it as much as I failed at being a part of society when younger, then the show ended and the board became a corpse and the site has gotten so shit in general I no longer really use it, lurk /a/ sometimes to find some ok series to watch while entirety of anime is being destroyed by normies, normiecore slop and isekaishit, /x/ became full on healing crystals and schizos instead of going ghost hunting with thermal cameras and such, /b/ is just reddit for 12-year olds nowdays, hiromoot can't run the site for shits, it's all shit now so I don't normally post much, haven't made a thread myself for I think 4+ years now.

But at the end of the day, I can find a rare agreeable thread on r9k usually. And I find myself lurking diy more and more as I need to fix shit a lot. I unironically wish we had the blatant cp and gore threads up everywhere to drive away limp dicked people like it was way back in the glory days but can't have that in modern day glorified global facebook internet
