video games with lost lore?

like when new video games sometimes remove or hide old content that tell you the lore of the story?

like how San Andreas had the hot coffee thing still in it's code

I have the html files of 4chan's front page during 2004, with /l/, /sm/ and /tl/ visible.

Smogon is named after a gas chamber joke which is why their mascot is Koffing and the site emblem is Lugia and Ho-oh doing a sieg heil. Not making this up

>/y/ older than /l/ AND still alive
yup, faggot website

lolitroons gtfo

>>718644514
Found it, here's proof
https://web.archive.org/web/20041015014633/http://linear.cc/smogon/forum/

>>718644780
Find it kind of funny how the site has so many hagfags crawling around now considering it’s history

>>718644103
share them
keep the legacy alive

>>718644514
Holy shit lmfao

>>718644995
i find it hilarious that so many normalfags use the word "weeb", those same normalfags will say anyone who uses 4chan is a pedo/hacker/criminal, yet they dont realize that the word weeb came from 4chan, they literally use 4chan terminology in their regular lexicon

sup nigs

I have a folder of old memes and shit from like 2006-2009ish on an external somewhere. Pulled it off an old computer

>>718644780
Fun fact: /y/ was the fifth board to be created (October 6 2003), predating /a/ by one month (November 8 2003).
Another fun fact: /cm/ and /sm/ (the gay shota board) were created two months (August 16 2004) and one month (September 8 2004) before /v/ (October 9 2004), respectively.

>>718645206
>all these boards before a general anime board
was moot retarded?

>>718644514
>>718644919
wow didn't know they were based

>>718645206
can I get this sans graffiti?

>>718645390
yeah, just go to archive.org and use the wayback machine
ps: this is the oldest image i ever saved from 4chan (12 oct 2004)

>>718645442
there's no way 4pedo isn't blacklisted

>>718643985 (OP)
remember text only boards, orange text and couldn't even browse if you got banned

>>718645206
i want guro back

>>718644780
/l/ only existed to act as a containment board because a portion of whiners didn't want to see it, the point of the site's founding was to post loli porn because somethingawful banned it
then m00t deleted it at the request of a chick he was trying to bang because she thought it was creepy (he did not score regardless)

>>718645340
it was before /b/tards were a thing

>>718645634
>he knows too much

>>718645534
PENIS

>>718645340
there were also other places the general anime talk was going on at. site was no where near as big as it is today

>>718645598
moot made /g/uro to get it off /b/. he was a naive chap, but learned quickly.

>>718645524
yup. moot's blog is also blacklisted

>>718645340
The entire site was the anime board

>>718644780
/l/ was the entire website

there were a lot of board added and removed that most people dont know about
pic related, it's a list of those boards and the dates added/deleted

>>718645634
watching newfags try to contextualize the site from fragmented images will never stop being funny

>>718645128
Wasnt it also adopted from that one Perry Bible Fellowship comic?

>>718644780
troons are part of your alphabet community. Dont try pushing them on us

Uh oh

>>718645717
Some archive they are

>>718645826
lol newfag

>>718645128
and some that did not come from us are attributed to us like kek.

>>718645634
lolitards have always been insufferable cunts

>>718645765

keep coping, diaper wearer

>>718645634
>he doesn't know about not4chan
it's a genuinely funny story

>>718645869
they've become especially bold lately

>>718645634
>m00t
who?

>>718645869
Don't come to the sewer if you don't like the rats

>>718645809
here's the full rundown:
>moot checks the stats on /b/ for most used words
>sees the word "wapanese" is the most used, by far
>"wapanese" was a play on the word "wigga" (white man trying to act like a nigga), so essentially, it meant white man trying to act japanese
>that comic (pictured) was popular on /b/ at the time
>moot wordfiltered the word "wapanese" to "weeaboo"
>this meant that if you typed the word wapanese in a post, it would come out as weeaboo
>suddenly, the most used word on /b/ was no longer wapanese, but weeaboo
>the word spread across the internet so much that it became a proper word, used by 4chan users and normalfags alike, for decades

>>718645942
>not4chan
Goddamn that took me back. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.

>>718645980
It doesn't matter anymore

>>718645206
>we love chidori
the world used to be a bigger place

>>718645809
yes and no. the actual word itself came from the comic, but the association with wapanese is because of becoming a 4chan word filter for wap.

I'm really not falling for the nostalgia anymore.

2006 sucked ass. The internet was garbage, con culture was depressing and filled with drama, and Runescape was (and still is) dogshit.

>>718646085
while i think it's true that moot genuinely didn't like it, hosting it on another domain just to dodge payment processors was extremely based

>>718645717
>>718645834
actually I forgot about the domain change

the oldest snapshot is the same as op
https://web.archive.org/web/20031122004728/http://www.4chan.net/

the boards.4chan.net snapshots don't work

Admin and mods used to shitpost on the boards and interact with the user base...

>>718645128
half of this website is twitter screencaps and tiktoks and some retards still think this is the big influential dog of the internet

>>718646361
yes

>>718644514
This is kinda like finding out what happened with SomethingAwful. Once considered the dark shithole of the internet before 4chan which then went super SJW at some point years later.

>>718646539
cry more, bergstein
the internet belongs to white boomers

>>718646638
i just recognize that life has changed and this is now just a dumping ground for people who want to talk about their social media feeds

>>718644514
I kneel

>PHP and MySQL
You know, Snacks, we really ARE an Invision Board just redone for .html.

>>718643985 (OP)
Did /v/ create Dismay?

>>718646043
For better or worse, like Something Awful (before Lowtax killed it and then himself [yes, it's still up, but it's a zombie]), terms from 4chan go to normies eventually. Even "normie" became a term within normie space.

Sad fact is, the wild-west Internet is no more and EVERYONE with some money for a net connection (especially mobile now) has the means to leech old geek/niche terms off nerds/geeks using it on other sites.

Similar to how "grok" became a thing that literal retard Elon Musk used it for his "AI"/if, else statements.

>>718645598
guro is for brain damaged retards

>>718644514
Damn, talk about serious hiding your power level. Didn't know that lore.

anyone remember /z/?

>moving to Discord
And then, just like that, the Discord use turned many a janny into trannyjanny.

I want old 4chan back

>>718647785
I want the old world back.

>>718647658
What happened to some of the other "edgy" sites? I know LUElinks became ETI then the owner pressed the self destruct button after tranny mods tried to do a hostile takeover via blackmail.

>>718647785
Weird web died with web 2.0, that's just the fact of it.

>>718647901
banned. hell post train gore on most sites and you get a perma ip ban

>>718647497
We did it, finally... Something Awful has become... something awful...

I saved it from a guy that posted it on https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/62419303/#62431118 a year ago. There are more old screenshots in that thread btw.

Does anyone remember that one time on /b/ where emotes got leaked and every thread devolved into spam of SAGE with the Sega logo font?

What's moot doing now that he left google?

>>718648096
i miss the random trolling of the site on its users. the random music and shit on. the ending of ttgl with row row fight da powa playing was annoying but soul

>>718648148
Meant for >>718645013

>>718648258
i dunno probably gettin fucked in the ass or something

>>718648047
It's funny how that site is still alive despite the main-page not being updated in like... 15(?) years. Ever since Lowtax sold the site, the new owner promised updates soon and it's just... coasting on the message board with a lot of Gen-X/Xennials that can't let the message board go.

Like 4chan, there's some good now and then but it can mostly be shit. But, that's the nature of time and the internet now, sadly. Nothing lasts forever.

Static 4kb pages that was nothing but text need a 4MB javascript script or it's not "modern" for Pajeets on phones.

>>718648258
We don't really know. Supposedly he's still in Japan, which means he's made it like Pewdiepie in that he's able to coast on whatever salary/income he got in a foriegn land.

Living happily ever after with his boyfriend. Perhaps he finally got to be the little girl.

Old internet definitely died, when pirate bay got raided.

>>718645926
Weird fetish but ok

>>718643985 (OP)
Wait, /a/ wasn't one of the first boards? I thought it was /a/ and /b/.

>>718648258
the real moot died years ago

>>718646043
... wapanese is wannabe japanese. like wigger is wannabe nigger. not white.

>>718647785
4chan should have unironically stayed dead. It would have been for the best. This site is literally just a bunch of third world Kiwinigger and Shartyfag zoomers spamming their bots on every board to purposefully shit up any and all discussion. Covid killed the internet.

>>718645206
Why did they start with "b"

>>718648639
Matches 2chans.

>>718648096
>your parents tell you the internet isn't real life
>now they think its real life

>>718648734
why did they start with b

>>718648596
No, They're specifically for "White." Wigger is "White Nigga" Wapanese is "White Japanese."

Wigger especially comes from racist origins because of the whites that were into rap music in cities to where racist white nationalists used it as a "slur" toward those folks.

>>718648614
go to kiwi threads find kiwi discussion, wow what a surprise

4chan still has lots of great discussions every day, you just have to look for it

>>718648802
you're wrong, but at least you're confident about it.

>>718648780
japanese phonetics don't start with vowels

>>718644514
At least the Smogon fags only faded into irrelevancy for being terminal Gen Wunners who saw VGC's format as an afterthought instead of turning into twisted parodies of themselves like SA.

No I'm not, but keep trollin'.

Wigger was big with racists whites in the south.

>anons younger than 4chan are here and have the nerve to talk back to me

>>718648956
As soon as "the Facebook" was a thing, it was over. Jobs finished it with the iPhone and simplifying smartphones (remember the Danger Hiptop and Blackberry?) for normies.

>>718649040
that's irrelevant to how the w stands for wannabe. fin.

>>718649159
It wasn't even about smartphones being simplified. It was the internet being redesigned for smartphones and how there suddenly wasn't a divide between the internet and real life because everybody was constantly connected at all times. How quickly people eagerly plastered their real name and photos and identity all over the internet.

I AM SO SICK OF THE NEW WEB I WANT TO GO BACK TO HABBO HOTEL RAIDS AND TOM GREEN RAIDS PLEASE

I wonder if aoomers gonna look back profoundly on the 20's like they were the days

God. Just end it.

>>718649396
the endless now started in 2007. so its the man sitting a computer nostalgic for sitting at a computer, forever.

>>718649396
Most of the zoomers I know fucking hate life

>>718649016
That doesn't start with a vowel?

>>718649540
its a way to make an h sound

>>718649396
zoomer and aoomers are all gonna kill themselves in record time

I think the most embarrassing thing I can remember besides trying to do a magic show in like second grade in front of the whole school was thinking /i/ was a cool board

>>718645128
we've fallen horribly but a tremendous amount of cultural exports have always and still come from here. normalfags are using slop like crazy now, funny thing is they omit the 'goy' part, it always gets sanitized first. Like how normalfags became normie

>>718649386
The pool has been permanently closed.

>>718646582
This place is probably the worst place I can think of, filled of cucked bootlickers in particular, absolute cattle with no individual thoughts, a regression of 1000 years back from a disappearing group of deranged boomers, really unique

>>718649908
It's weird how even if I still thought you were faggots I genuinely respected the opinions I read on here and discovered some great stuff now
does not fucking happen at all anymore

>>718648859
>>718649207
Nobody calls chinks who act like they're hoodrats "wiggers". They're called Chiggers. Why? Chinese+Nigger. This is because Wigger means White+Nigger. Not wannabe. If it was wannabe, Chiggers would be called Wiggers. But they're not. They're Chiggers.
Do you understand?

>>718643985 (OP)
In Deus Ex, the "You might be right about that" line from JC when he talks to the French clubgoer is an allusion to the White House/President Mead hostage mission cut at the last minute

>>718650127
>lots of people are wrong
wow great argument

>>718644514
Kids have no idea how common/popular swastikas and Nazism were back 20 years ago. Even if there was some degree of tongue in cheek, it was widespread.

>>718647619
I'm too newfag to have used it, but I remember someone directing me to it and staring at the picture trying to figure out what I was looking at
Good times

>>718646043
It is interesting because I saw something similar with onions on fit being translated to onions, the most test food out there. Now I see people IRL not know the reference and think onions is legit bad for testosterone.

Remember when m00t trolled everyone into giving him a bunch of money to buy new servers and got a bunch of whores to put sharpies in their poopers along the way?

>>718649078
eternal newfags gonna eternal newfag

>>718643985 (OP)
man, one of the archives had the thread and thumbnails of like the earliest place i could place myself posting on 4chan. its a dumb story, tl;dr, discovered rasterbation, thought it would be funny to print out and cut out a rasterbated image of two of my friends dating fullsized kissing and i posted the progress and results here as i went along. id love to have those photos again, although i cant believe how fucking stupid and retarded it was to just post so many picture of my own face and my friends faces here. probably before they stripped exif as well, so holy shit i was dumb

and there was this huge ass thread of "times you fucked up" that was really old that had some super amazing crazy stories. pissing on the elevator door, set his best friend on fire while high on mushrooms and killed him man, virgin crying in hospital teen, ripped uretha on doorway fleeing the fap center man, pisslord. all these moments, will be lost

>>718648458
The loss of Pirate Bay, Silk Road, Demonoid, and Oink were tremendous, and yet hardly anyone alive today remembers them.

Yeah, it was depressing as fuck watching all the energy go out of the place and them being left with a school marm troon goon mentality. Just look at Slowbeef and Diabetes.

>>718648596
It evolved over the years
