2011? Get off my lawn whippersnapper! I was lurking chan sites in 07 when I should have been underageb& and having a remotely decent time in highschool.
No one cries for EFG. His name has been long forgotten.
Seriously, I’m pretty certain EFG was the progenitor to f7u12, and 4chan was pissed that reddit kept stealing their memes and beating them until nothing but a horse shaped hole in the ground remained as reddit kept growing. Pretty sure I witnessed the first advice animal threads too. That little pup with the rainbow background was spammed to hell and back for around a month before it made its way to reddit.
True, but… unless they’ve changed substantially since the last time I looked at them, they seem to be basically completely different things, very corpo, more or less wearing the brand names as skin suits.

… No. No.
Eh, howdy partner, you remember Digg?
Does anyone remember Digg?

… Remember 4chan before the V for Vendetta mask got associated with it?
gaze drifts back toward onion
… Pepperidge … farm… remembers…
grins strangely

Digg and Diggnation have recently been revived

Before Digg we memed on Usenet and IRC.
Before Digg, but after Usenet, I was on Something Awful. At least, as a lurker. I wasnt gonna pay to use a forum.
Unfortunately, you’ll have to tell me about that, graybeard, as I …
… I am part of the one of the first eternal Septembers.
Except I was like 8, or 10, not a college student.
Trading taglines and signature files while downloading gifs at 300 baud (she was worth it) and my ip address was ‘3’.
(5 points for the reference)
I am slightly older than you. lol
It was. I didn’t use 4chan because of its reputation, which is bad now, but it was also bad then too

I was mostly playing Final Fantasy 11 in high school 😂
