If 4chan does down for good, where will everyone most likely go?
I love all of you guys, and couldn't imagine my life without a community this enjoyable.

The the site that hosted /r9k/ and /new/ after they were taken down, whose name we're not allowed to say. They said they'd add a Pokemon board when moot considered taking down /vp/, so there'd be a /tg/ there too if this one vanished.

That is the saddest comic I have ever read.

I don't know what i'd do without you guys, as 'pathetic' as that sounds. I mean, hell, my life isn't as bad as it could be, but it's not great, but at the end of the day the only place I really feel like I belong is here

on the internet

with you guys

bullshiting about traditional games and all the things related, however tangentially, to them.

If they take down the internet, we'll join TPB and host low-orbit servers. SSD sizes in the future should be enough to make it work.

Anyway, I'd be sad to see 4chan go. This website is pure, condensed humanity. It's a place where you aren't bound by your identity and are free to open yourself. Sure, there's the occasional trolls, but who's to say that these people aren't like that IRL, too, and just supress their nature?
What 4chan taught me is that humanity is far better than you'd think watching pop culture and reading non-anonymous websites. I'm glad I found this place during my darkest hours - It really saved me.
I hope many more people will learn to appreciate humanity by coming here.

Look at all of the recent rebellions. Egypt, Libya, et al.
Most of them used the internet and social networking to organize and drum up public support.

The power of the internet is the power of freedom of information and free, worldwide communication.

Those in power don't want the masses to have that. Believe me, if there was a way to shut down the internet without there being open revolt, they'd do it.

Mostly float around, and go to other chans. If 4chan goes down, Reddit, 7chan, 420chan, and That-Place-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named would skyrocket in popularity.

Same here man. The fact it's anonymous is what makes everyone honest, because we don't have to worry about making some faux pas, and even if you do, know one will be able to tell it that it was you. Here a person can (and should) say their honest opinion about something because they have nothing to lose.

But yeah, I could not imagine life without this site.

>>20150458
I think an author stated a couple years ago that if we embrace technology and make it more available it leads to greater liberty and justice, where as regulating it only makes it a available to a certain few who would use it to secure their own power.

>>20150368
Given the internet isn't a real thing, but the concept of a massive network of interconnected server-client networks, it's impossible. But to deny access to the largest networks would be easy, simply disable the primary ISPs on the planet, take out the different companies providing major network access, you's lose what most people see as the internet.

Given time, however, people would network their computers again, legally or not, and the ever-expanding network could gain the title of "the internet" after a while.

>>
>>20150466
The anonymity really contributes a lot. People are scared to say what they feel on boards where you have a designated name. They hold back, they don't speak their mind.

I'll use an example. When Minecraft first came out, Notch came to /v/ to talk about it, and ask for ideas. /v/ didn't hold back, and spouted out a lot of good ideas. Then, Notch went to reddit, and that's when the vacations started. They coddled him, and asked him to make it easier, and the game suffered, and now Notch is on perma-vacation.

Anonymity is what made 4chan great.

>it's a hellhole during the summer
B-but I'm browsing it now! My only complaint it its /r9k/ is a little slow, but the one here's a little fast, so horses and roundabouts.
>>
>>20150466
Well, there are rules on this site, but they are equalizers and not constraints. If everyone uses the same expressions, it gets easier to understand them and weeds out the absolute fucktards.
I'm glad we got /b/ and are known ONLY for /b/. /b/ is the place where newfags go to be converted into aspiring channers.
Have you seen the astounded threads whenever some /b/tard found /tg/? I love these reactions. Really shows you why we've got such an awesome board - It's a secret tip while having a huge userbase. That's the kind of balance that is impossible to achieve on purpose.
Whenever I see 4chan portrayed as the asshole of the internet, I'm glad. It means that we can continue being ourselves without being swamped by normal people who have yet to lose their masks through anonomity.

...Actually, this sounds a lot like the beginnings of the internet. I wasn't there, but I read about the eternal September.

4chan and our meme culture taught me to appreciate art of all ages.

You're right about that. I enjoy being able to discard the mask that society makes me wear. Here I'm not the self that is based on how others see me, or the self based on how I see me. Here I am my true self. I can surrender my individuality for something larger than me, and can reclaim my identity when I'm done. Here I, and all of us are truly free. We have cast aside the chains of convention.

No other place in this world would have me openly discussing how many marbles could fit into a grown man's ass and watching a gay porn video for sake of research.
Never would I have experienced the joy of the Rape Factory, semen-powered lolis, anal spelunking, minmaxing of medieval knights via modern technology and all the other nice topics that were brought up on this board alone.
...Actually, I think I wouldn't miss 4chan much. I'd miss /tg/.
People on /a/ are horrified at seeing the Rape Factory, for example.
/adv/ and /b/ did help me get over a breakup (Pure, unfiltered rage can be really fucking useful in healing a wound) and made me a better person, but I don't need them anymore and I can't even stand being there now that I have grown out of that phase. But /tg/ will always have a place in my heart.

Man. That would kinda suck.

There's something about the gestalt mind that we have. The willingness to make something stupid or work something out like the Rape Factory or figuring how many spiders fit in a drow's vagina. The fact that we're willing to actually help each other with rules and art and everything, to a certain extent.

You guys are, in my honest opinion, one of the best internet community I've ever been a part of.

Unfortunately, I know full well what will happen if I lose /tg/. I'll move on. I'll find something new, I'll still continue to be me, to be strange. But I guess I just won't have as much human interaction with like-minded people.

/tg/ will go into detail and discuss the finer aspects of rape and guro, making even /b/tards feel uneasy.

if 4chan went down somehow, I think it's simple enough. I'd check out some of the many other chans, or join a smaller forum. I think that's the answer most of us would give.

Of course, the repercussions of that are horrifying. Are the other chans large enough to support the sheer volume of traffic and bandwidth 4chan handles on a daily basis? Worst case scenario, I can imagine it being like the breaking of a dam: As the anons flood into the surrounding chans and websites, they inadvertently DoS them, causing the residents of those chans to relocate elsewhere temporarily, and this continues ad infinitum, until the entire internet is destroyed.

And that's not even considering the effects of releasing the shitty boards like /b/ unto the world.

/tg/ is where I spend hours of my day, just... browsing /tg/. I rarely go to any other boards, and the ones I do I'm there for ten, twenty minutes tops.

I love /tg/. I mean, sometimes I get frustrated with it, sometimes the people get on my nerves, but I just... I love this place.

It's like a second home, with a bunch of like-minded individuals. Looking back on it, discovering /tg/ was a turning point in my life- probably for the better, believe it or not. Half of my friends did drugs, and they didn't want to hang around me because all I really thought about were traditional games.

And now, all the friends I have are the people I game with, people who share my hobbies. It's awesome.

In short, I love you /tg/. You guys are the best guys out there, and I don't know what I'd do without you.

I see. I must not pay enough attention to memes: I'd like to spot this kind of thing more, because references are fun.

But it shouldn't really be surprising considering the connection between the communities, right down to continuing user overlap, among trips and, as we see, anons.

Yeah, it goes completely against the idea of the anonymous hivemind. Watermarking something done by an anon is stealing part of our identity. It's taking away from the nameless masses. That's basically physically damaging us.

As someone who was there when Eternal September was a thing, believe me. You have it so much easier. Sure, you're getting the people leaking your secret funhouse out to the real world - I live near a boardwalk which sells memeface shirts in more than one stall. But you're used to it. You come here to get away. You have the whole nerd culture supporting you, and at the end of the day, when you log off, it isn't too bad to be a nerd anymore. Not compared to how it used to be, anyway.

Your 'summer' is exactly like real-world summer; all the kids out of school find all the places the adults were having fun.

Our 'september' was children getting into their father's booze stash and special makes-the-world-better pills.

That goes double for the "in my time, being a nerd meant something" morons. I grew up, I had my interests and no one ever bothered me about it. Obviously I didn't go around spouting my like for girly tv shows, but no one would have really cared.

Anyway, my post was talking about regular September, not eternal September and that Eternal Summer is easy to avoid for us due to this site's size.

an actual nerd/geek wouldn't identify as such. If they did, they would still treat it as something not to be proud of.

nerds/geeks are socially acceptable, but it's not socially acceptable to be a nerd/geek, if that makes sense.

>>20151291
Can rule #1 be:
Never openly refer to yourself as a "nerd" or "geek".

>>20151303
Yes. Most "normal" people are stupid, lazy, evil, or any some combination of the above. What's your point?

We're too amorphous and basically chaotic to ever agree to rules. There are already some rough guidelines the majority of us probably follow, trying to lock down anything more specific would be a fool's errand.

Personally I can say that I love the internet. I met one of my best friends on it. I had the smallest fraction of a chance to meet this person, like a drop of water passing through the eye of a needle's chance in meeting her, and I did. She's one of the coolest and most interesting people I know. We have tons of things in common, it's a friendship that neither of us had to force to work. It just happened. She's one of the most interesting people I have ever had the pleasure to be friends with. And even though I've never met her face to face I love her with every ounce of the word.

For some of us we're seeing every time we were socially isolated or beaten up middle school for being a nerd thrown back in our face as casuals are now LOL SUCH NERDS XD.

No fuck you. Nerddom is all about elitism, a byproduct of being ostracised upon by the popular/succesful/happy/our own bodies and as such we segregate and hate anything that isn't what WE like, be it: 4e, "casual gamers", womyn, normal people, etc.

I'm sure that when I grow older, I'll stop caring.

I think it's mostly because Reddit and most everything these days feels like a rat race to gain attention for yourself.
Every other Redditor and Youtuber and what have you sees whatever they do or make as a means to an end: popularity.
Meanwhile, every other sane person sees the work as an end in itself, and doesn't mind taking credit or not, so long as their work is enjoyed and shared for everyone.

We're all springboards of imagination for each other. Reddit is a rat race with fifteen minutes of fame for the victor.

Because it can be difficult finding someone who shares your kink? Look at /tg/'s gamefinder threads - it's the same logic. 4chan has a large user base, so there's reasonable odds of finding someone suitable.

He had to spill he's a guy finally at some point (in b4 I should've noticed, I didn't give two shits since it was just ERP before) but joke's on him as I swing both ways (yes, it's still long-distance but that'll be changing this fall)

It's not about the argument, you see. It's about who delivers it and how they deliver it.

That's fucking retardedf only we could be anonymous in real life.

And what a good few years it has been. Hell, 4chan has been around long enough that some people have spent a good portion of their lives delving these imageboards, always looking for that sense of fellowship of fellow neckbeards.
When 4chan finally goes, remember all the good times we've had. Super Dave, STORYTEIM's exploits, all of those good stories that would have never been told without /tg/.

Ultimately, people come and go. It is the nature of life, but over the last few years, 4chan has always been a constant. Whether it's the hate for Jim Profit, or the rise and fall of Zyzz, we've all been in this together. For better, or worse.

I joined /tg/ on November 2009. Now I have no clue what I did with my free time before that. Someday when we part, just know I won't forget you guys. Until my dying day, you'll be my closest companions. And I'll stand with you as an elegan/tg/entleman even after all the stars have gone cold. Until the very end of time itself I'll still think of you as the truest self of humanity. That I think is your legacy to our existence, even though most of man won't sing songs about you. But who cares about that, we've rejected the masks that society makes us wear, and chosen our own way, where we express our deepest selves honestly. We have transcended the boundaries of normal humanity, and that is our triumph.

I think the problem is these people don't have a SINGLE BIT of philosophy or introspection in their heads.

I mean, we, as a species? Why are we so... Like this? Spending five minutes on facebook makes me shrug and wonder why even try. They live for nothing but sating their own pleasures and vices and, while I'm not one to be judging them, being on 4chan, at least I strive to improve myself, if not physically, then mentally.

But they don't. They live stagnant lives and are content with it. Why try to improve yourself when our society punishes excellence and rewards mediocrity, afterall?

And when /tg/ is gone, when 4chan finally dies, all these stories will be lost. They'll go to the great 404 away from the sky and fade away as we do, one by one, til there's no trace left it ever existed. All those threads, lost, like tears in the rain.

>>20152910
I feel the same way. I think that with no more horizons to explore, humanity has stagnated. Which is why I believe in the importance of the space programs. The sooner we can live on places besides Earth the better. And those who have the will won't be content with what's here. They'll go out in the cold dark to seek their own destinies. Let the Last Men keep this cradle. The ones who are willing to take risks for the sake of exploration, truth, and/or profit will seek those things in the cosmos. And when the complacent back home will complain about their right to those discoveries, hopefully those who left will laugh.

When I was young, I was spoiled all to shit.
My family had money, and they passed it on to us.
Whatever I wanted, I got come Christmas.

I don't think stupid people have "taken over" but rather a paranoia of making anyone feel bad.

This is entirely true. Everyone thinks their opinion is as valid as everyone else's, regardless of actual knowledge or skill in the topic.

what's most uncomfortable is not putting anything on your list, and then your family acting sad, or even angry at themselves that they didn't get you anything.

>>20153089
I came from a poor family, but by the time I was in my mid-teens, I stopped asking for presents, because I realized I didn't really need anything, and that money could be better spent.
I figure, in retrospect, it was just depression and low self-worth.

Because they don't WANT to. They don't WANT to have to work, for anything. There's a lot of reasons, ranging from religion, to technology, to whatever. But the point is really simple: It's easier to delude yourself than it is to fix yourself. This is why you get stuff like fat acceptance. Because it's easier to stagnate and not change, than it is to stay quiet and improve. I could rant on, and on, and on, but that's not what this is about.

It's because of you guys, /tg/. You bunch of (in)glorious bastards whom I've laughed and cried and shaken a defiant fist with for these past years. I've never stayed with any other internet community for as long as I've stayed with /tg/, and I expect I'll be here until either I die or it does.

I think that, should 4chan go down permanently, the net amount of stupid on the rest of the internet will go up by a fair amount, just because of all the /b/tards being forced into the wild. People will eventually find their way to another 4chan like site, but keeping in mind how stupid /b/tards are, I imagine a lot of them won't, either because they never find out about such a thing or because "its not the same" (Even if it's exactly the same), so you'll just see more /b/ shit leak into the rest of the internet. From then on, it'll probably just become part of the larger zeitgeist, and sooner or later you'll see news sites euphemistically referring to CP as "Delicious cake."

I love /tg/. I've posted on 4chan for too many years, but since discovering /tg/ a few years ago the rest has faded into obscurity. Nowhere else has a community quite like this one: the gestalt hive mind, the ability to turn trolls into productive discussions, and, dare I say it, the sheer self-effacing silliness.

I think, perhaps, that we should instigated an evacuation plan of a kind. We should designate another site as our Vault 13 should the bombs of SOPA start to fall. The location is irrelevant: our collective force of will shall remake the site into 'our' board.

But, as we have always done, now that I have suggested the idea, everyone will rely on someone else to see it through.
