>newfag influx of 2016
The newfag influx was 2014/15, which is when /v/ welcomed forumgoers and redditors with open arms.
2016 newfags primarily stayed solely on /pol/ or went to 8ch as they were all literal boomers or teenagers who only watched political commentary.

Aus/UK are banning all social media that doesn't have age checks(a checkbox isnt enough)
4chan can't really implement this so 4chan will be banned in uk/aus

Lol no. They're pretty much everywhere now except the very niche boards that no one goes to. 2014 opened the floodgates and the deluge happened from 2016-2020.

>>717636847
Newfags all the way up to 2012/2013 all assimilated to the site's culture over time. It's just the post-GG/Fappening bunch that really shat up this board and the entire site over time because they thought 4chan was just about being edgy or a political commentary site and not a site to talk about nerdy shit like anime or video games.

Its actually funny to look back at all the ancient memes that were notable for about a month or two on lurkmoar, the /a/ section in particular.

>>717639821
The 2006 Habbo raids were the beginning of the downfall.

>>717639821
>Lol no. They're pretty much everywhere now except the very niche boards that no one goes to.
Nah, there's a clearcut distinction between the people who were brought in by 2016 and the people who post politics outside of /pol/ 90% of the time.
Most people posting politics outside of /pol/ are trolling you. The only actual "colony" is /tv/.

>>717638869
it was fun

>>717636603
>>717636735
You retards who cry about muh 2016 election say nothing about 2020 and post-Covid internet which leads me to believe you're retarded newfags.

>>717639994
I miss the days when memes died so quickly. I absolutely detest how frogs an wojaks have persisted for so long despite being unoriginal.

>>717640150
>say nothing about 2020 and post-Covid internet
Covid barely changed anything once it ended and was the ultimate proof that this site was dead.
4chan got a big boost of activity for around two years and then went back on its decline. Currently most boards are straight up dead or reaching their historical lowest levels of activity (big one for that is /a/).

Moot will never buy 4chan back and, in all likelihood, does not want to be an admin or be involved with anonymous imageboards at all at this point.
The 4chan experience for him was essentially him making $0 at best to maintain a community that ended up hating him for the last four years he ran the ship.
Had Hiroyuki not been in the afterglow of getting raped by Watkins, I imagine moot would've just closed 4chan for good in 2015. Hiroyuki buying the site was essentially a friendly transaction no matter how much moot got paid for it.

Anyways, as the website's traffic goes down, we probably won't see much happen till like 2030. The first step was that pass price hike by another $10 earlier this year, and as time goes on we'll probably see something like smaller boards getting deprecated, slower boards getting lower page counts and bump limits, archived threads staying up for shorter periods of time.
At this point it's impossible for the site to truly die.

For the longest time heat death has been the common consensus for the end of the universe but I guess there's some recent data suggesting that the big rip might still be possible and could only take like 50 billion years. Neat to read about.

>>717642473
Yeah dude, there's totally been a grand change and it's not just that the site has been shedding most of its sane users since covid ended and the only difference is that the only people left are the annoying schizoids/attentionwhores.

>>717642512
>implying there is somewhere else to go for sane people

>>717642889
By sane I mean people who don't feel an inane attachment to a specific website.
As much as people here might hate to acknowledge it, the majority of 4chan's userbase was never people who exclusively used it. It's a bit closer to that now, but most people just stopped using 4chan altogether after covid, which increased the perceived presence of schizophrenics, thus contributing to a perceived drop in quality, when said drop was solely because of LESS people, not a mysterious other entering the site.
