Thread 6004177

/wsg/ 2016-2018.

Were you here? How are you doing now anon? I haven't been on this board much since 2019. Life got better. Busier. But a lot of great content was created (before GenAI) 10 years ago. Found a folder full of vibes.

I remember when bonbibonkers took off and how big of a shift that was. Tiktokifcation. Brain rot. 1-2 second mashed together clips. Hyper-emotional.

But dont listen to me, Im just an old man thrusting his stick up into the clouds.

Enjoy

Some anon made this and posted it on /wsg/ a long time ago.

today, OP wasn't a faggot

>>6004177 (OP)
I first visited /wsg/ when fligu and tiktokification started to hit this site. I've been lurking mostly since and saving vids.

>>6008973

>>6004177 (OP)
Does this count (around 2005, I think)?

>>6005384
would've been cool to experience classic 4chan. feels like 4chan kinda stopped having a culture after around the mid-late 2010s

such a different time

>>6005384
like if you said half the shit these guys said at a modern anime con youd be harassed by fat women because otaku culture is now mainstream normie slop and they cant understand a little fun n games

>>6010756
i dont think this is 2005, this is like a mid-late 2010s video

Been here since /wsg/ was first added, not necessarily as a regular but I'd peek my head in every few months or so.
Sad to say but like most boards the glory days are behind us. You used to be able to come here and find videos that were funny or interesting or get good music recommendations.
Now you really need to dig through a mountain of shit to find those diamonds.

Looking at the current catalog it's just political shit, coomer shit that shouldn't be on a nsfw board if the mods gave a fuck, threads where it's just OP dumping webms until the threads archived after which they'll do the exact same thing, threads that could be cool but get ruined by people posting garbage probably deliberately and finally a small handful of genuinely good threads which will die with under 50 posts.

Another example of the decline would be ylyl threads. I haven't visited one for a long time because at some point someone decided they would ruin every ylyl thread by filling the thread with unfunny quasi-brainrot videos. When I say every thread I mean EVERY thread and this went on for years. I'd say it was a bot because they were so relentless but it could have just as easily been some outside group conducting the longest raid I've ever seen. If it was only one dedicated autist then I'm not even mad because his life must have literally been waking up, obsessing over those threads all day then sleeping for four hours before repeating the cycle for 5+ years. It might even be going on to this day but I'm not wading in that pool of piss just to find out.

Anyway enough about how things were better back in the day, here's a good song introduced to me by /wsg/.
I can't be bothered downloading and converting to webm so I'll just link the video.

wall of text I know sry, sometimes you just gotta release the inner sperg

>>6012643
No you're really right here to be honest, I've seen the decline as well but I think that's just the internet in general. Not as free and wild as it used to be, which is really saddening. Feels like everything has lost its soul and everything is being made purely for profit

>>6012666
It's because hook noses bought up the internet.
They forced a tik tok sale so they could censor the Gaza genocide, just like they censor their genocide of the west

>>6012643
You're half right, but also you just got older anon, and this site's audience didn't age with you. They moved on. Only reason Im here is for a bit of nostalgia.

I think the simple image/vid + text format of 4chan is amazing and I wish more sites adopted it. It's a great way to share pretty anything you want on the internet.

>>6012630
i made the Kira one last week from jewtoob

>>6012643
>at some point someone decided they would ruin every ylyl thread by filling the thread with unfunny quasi-brainrot videos. When I say every thread I mean EVERY thread and this went on for years
yeah i noticed that systematic cringe spam in ylyl threads too
the JIDF website had an explicit policy of shitting up all spaces that were judged "problematic" which i guess includes this one too
>If it was only one dedicated autist
nope, entire teams are dedicated to shit up this place and they make up a sizeable part of jannies

bump!

Any one got the gif or webm with the ghost cat and the text that says you are dead/have died, continue/try again? (continue, yes, no) It might of had music by capsule or might have been 8 bit

For the life of me can't find it and had a look through the archives :(

>>6004177 (OP)
Yes. I was there. 2013 for me and I'm still a newfag.

I thought I came in at the end. How wrong I was.

There was a music vid featuring a monk setting themselves on fire can't find it anyone has it?

>>6010783
Nailed it. Mid 2010s.

>>6007311
The russian (Alik) doesn't sound reluctant in this webm. He sounds like a retarded faggot who thinks he's going to win no matter what.

>>6015098
both commanders knew each other because they had previously served together (in georgia i think?)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Grozny_(1994%E2%80%931995)#Central_Railway_Station

Alik was an executioner i don't know how he could've refused the orders without being tried for desertion
it seems the higher-ups sent many soldiers as cannon fodder as when they sprang the various ambushes waiting for them none of their calls for help or reinforcements were answered
that battle was a dark fucking bloodbath

>>6015135
I'm aware of the story behind this conversation (I was looking into it just now), but I was referring to his tone, not his words. Of course he couldn't refuse the order.
But as a native speaker he struck me as an overconfident fool rather than someone who wanted to avoid conflict.

>But dont listen to me, Im just an old man thrusting his stick up into the clouds.
I started browsing during Tiktokfication and I hated those threads. The SFW pron threads have gotten worse since then.
But the absolute worst part of current /wsg/ is the fact that our Halloween thread is so inactive. The most important day of October is a day away and the sp00ky thread has only 100 posts.

>>6015372
:(

>>6006364
That's how I live usually. I started taking care of myself though because I realized I'm great and most people are just mean spirited and thrive on grouping up to bully people that aren't like them.

>>6015229
tsmt
>>6012643
yeah
i've scraped several music threads, but there's barely anything worthwhile left here
feels like a normie waiting room of some kind, mixed with psyop garbage
good to hear from people who feel the same atleast, and i appreciate your post anon

happy halloween eve, everyone

>>6012643
It's a shift I saw leak all over. It started on Myspace with the profile wipes. There was sooooo much evidence of criminal activity on there it's not even funny, and they just removed it all. Then instagram switched to whatever it is supposed to be now. Advertising app? I dunno. Facebook was always faggoty. Meme sites were the ones I saw start going after. Mods would just outright censor you for stating facts. Hit you with bans etc. That's when I realized what was happening. The sites started selling shit through 3rd parties like shirts etc. Personal info grab. Creating weird "communities" where mods would post real life pictures encouraging others to without warning them about exif info. Dox origins. They did a bunch of test runs on the most linked websites on their platform before eliminating them in favor of reddit where opinion can be controlled. This website is now being roped in under the same roof. Worksafe Generals is a shit board. Seen 20 unique reply threads deleted after 5 minutes of no reply and threads with no reply in 4+ hours stay up. It's time to take your beliefs outside.

>>6004186
Bonbiposting isn't THAT old, right?? Right....

>>6015755
It probably depends on your music taste. I listen to obscure electronic music and there is still some good stuff here every now and then.

>>6004235
Damn, this one's a classic.

this thread reminds me of how bad /wsg/ has gotten

>>6015946
that is fair
>>6016110
could always be worse
i think the most fallen board by far is /b/, but idk

>>6004308
N-no one remembers :(

>>6015507
Neat, thanks for posting the full one
