Any Forums in the early to mid 2000s

Can any oldfags here fill me in on what posting on here was like forever again?

bunch of Any Forums screenshots on 3 ch and an old lolcow runs 94 ch. Check those out.

it was nice, before "memes" took over we just had funny pictures with words on them, duckroll, SOON... and other shit

Alot of the stories from bash.org were around that time when Any Forums was the deep underbelly of the internet, but not quite the asshole it is now.

It was an easier, slower time. Any Forums was fast, there was still random porn but it wasnt as 99% filled with porn like it is now. Id say that was probably because most people were more reserved and there wasnt as much of it on the internet.

However when the memes came in with courage dog and philosoraptor thats things got really exciting and funny for awhile, and then suddenly it became mainstream and the normies fucked it up as they allways do.

Gaming back then was really exciting, right around 2000 was a surge humanity may never see again with counterstrike, halflife mods, starcraft and warcraft 3 just to name a few, unreal tounament and quake definitely kept me glued to the seat for years. When halo came out it was like a dawn of a new time, and everyone on Any Forums was excited about it. Leeroy jenkins was probably the pinnacle of Any Forums.

>3 ch
The internet culture board there is kinda interesting to go through. Would've preferred something like here instead of the 5 different vidya boards that were added.

>there was still random porn but it wasnt as 99% filled with porn like it is now.
I really wish we could go back,,,

DON'T MESS WITH FOOTBALL!

kiwifarms is probably the closest you'll get to old Any Forums people

It was just shitposting, but the community was way smaller.
We got away with a lot more like raids. Had our own subculture.
We actually felt involved with this board, or at least I know I did.
