Same as my brother
I just became neet again after 7 years and I feel free, but I have so many responsibilities now I need a new wage cage before I become homeless.
Considering buying a van, maybe drive around and exit if I find an opportunity.
At least mum will have a nice amount of cash, maybe she can pay off some of the mortgage.
my nigga i feel you
literally just became a neet (unwillingly) recently and its liberating as hell. i havent slept this well, i havent felt this close to myself, and i have no problem getting up in the mornings anymore. unfortunately it cant last forever and i need a way to pay bills asap and am about to have a megaton of responsibilities shift onto me very soon, so what the hell.
idk what im going to do with my life and my future seems bleak, but at least im right there with you bro
I'm still here and wondering the same thing, I miss all the good effort posting we used to do. Zoomies moved in and brought their shit, watered-down redditor/discord bullshit in here.
I came back for a little while after a big heartbreak. I have a successful career and I've 'dated' women and whatnot, but everyone around me feels so empty. I still talk to my homie Jim from LULZ but that's about it.
look at the board man, it's not worth it trying to compete against thousands of low IQ tards and who knows how many fancy new LLM bots spewing the same garbage threads 24/7.
I'm still here but I lurk. There's little point in engaging here plus /LULZ/ is really more for younger audiences despite the rules. I started browsing when I was like 15 in 2012. I'm 27 now. Things change. I was here before poo poo pee pee, before tranny shit flooded every board. Before the word "incel" was the catchall buzzword it is today. I miss the old times but it's also nice watching younger anons experiencing growth. If I never found /LULZ/ at such a young age and witnessed how bad life can get, I would've been a virgin forever. I put myself through social gauntlets against all odds (bald at 18, acne scars so bad people ask if I've been in a fire/attacked by a dog, poorly socialised during youth) to normify myself out of fear of falling into the path that lay before me towards loneliness. For any young anons out there hopeless, you CAN make it. It won't ever be what you want it to be though. Life will ALWAYS be a struggle, but it'll be exactly as much of a struggle now as it is if you're trying. It seems we only have so much capacity for suffering. Even though it feels like its the end of the world, it just, idk, always feels like it's the end of the world? So you may as well fight and take what you can so the suffering isn't wasted.
I've been using LULZ since 2008 and have known of LULZ since at least 2013 but I was actively underaged for most of that time and probably didn't get to experience the community the same way as anyone of proper age tbh
I'm 18 and I wish I experienced the early LULZ too. Like Jesus if only I could teleport in time when being a brony was popular and everyone talked about it, I would talk about tulpas with other losers and I could proudly call myself an internet veteran for experiencing this crucial moment in internet history. It's not the same anymore, internet often has a bad vibe now
Believe it or not I haven't been active here in ten years but I recently started checking again, mostly out of morbid curiosity. It's definitely different here. My favorite LULZ year was 2011. I remember when we called each other "gentlemen" on this board.
I've been here for 13 years on and off. I don't know if I have matured or the board has gotten worse, but anons just disappoint me a lot these days in a way that I don't remember happening before.
I don't think you could make content here without other sites immediately stealing it now a days, there's no really insider culture anymore I'm sure some subhuman probably thinks that's a good thing or sees it synonymous with gatekeeping
I'm still here, I just hate zoomers and their terrible and unfunny threads. This board is like a gross little petri dish full of loser germs that I peek in on out of curiosity, even though the novelty has worn thin.
Been in and out of here since 2012, longest period about 3 years without even posting.
Board has changed a lot, life has changed my a lot. Became a father 3 times, backwater sports coach, life it's no great but not bad either.
Getting out of my room was a mistake, who remembers?
Yeah I slowed my posting after years of realizing I was wasting my time typing things out either
A) No one reads
B) They read and they want to argue with me.
or
C) They read and agree and we have a good time, which is rare moments I'd live for.
But arguing with anonymous assholes weighs on the soul. I just don't don't it now, someone picks a fight, I hurl my last insult at them and just abandon the thread. I'm not here to defend myself six hours against a troll.
Still here, unfortunately. Remember the steam friends threads? I just wish I had the strength to never come back here. This place is a huge gravity well, I thought I could escape when I got gf but here I am.
Yeah it's a waste of time. The few good times you get aren't worth it, in the end.
Yeah and it doesn't need to be waste of time but argumentative trolls make it so. When these same people try this same shit in other places, like social media, I can easily shut them down because they can't hide being anonymity as well in other places. 99% of the "argument" is just them taking wild guesses/potshots at you seeing what you respond to.. Do it them and they accuse you of dishonesty, when they were being dishonest about you...
They know they're not genuine, honest people. They're people taking their anger out on us or trying to influence board opinions by shaming the ones they don't like.
Unlike them though, I've gotten EXTREMELTY good at it and can wear them down if I truly want to...
But I realized it's not worth it over the years. Spending hours and days having the same fights. If anything LULZ fights teach you the depravity of how far the human mind is willing to lie to itself and others to defend an ego.
That and even if you try to write a serious, good reply to someone with advice or encouragement, most of the time they won't even read it or acknowledge it. It's not just callous trolls, it's also attention deficit and lack of respect for each other. There's no point in trying to have an actual conversation here, not for the 1 out of 10 times where it will feel like an actual convo for like 5 post tops and then die out. Complete waste of time and energy. It's a dopamine trap that just sucks you dry and gives nothing back.
2014 and i'm still here. i came here when i was underaged though because i thought the gaymer gate garbage was funny at the time. honestly i probably didn't really even know what was actually going on or experience the site like not underaged people did but it's okay. this place fucking sucks now though so i just fuck with people and make retarded threads of my own once in a blue moon.
I wasn't on /LULZ/ 10 years ago. I mostly lurked on blue boards like LULZ, LULZ and /wsg/ and only came here in 2017, so I'm kind of a newfag on this board but at least I'm a robot, unlike many normalfags who post here.
for real i cringe when i look back and think about being sympathetic towards liberalism then. i wish i had been able to appreciate how based the alt right actually was and how it was a continuation of chan culture
Been here since 2006. I mostly just lurk. I'm really only here out of force of habit more than anything. I hate how /LULZ/ is mostly forced psyops these days.
I have been on LULZ since 2007 and I am still here every now and then. I mostly don't post, because it's not the same anymore and zoomers are just complete fucking homosexuals non-stop most of the time.
>I hate how /LULZ/ is mostly forced psyops these days.
I used to enjoy the greentext stories and the better posts overall. I miss /b/ too when shit used to actually happen and be funny as hell, instead of just porn unreal.
Even wizchan is dead and full of zoomers. I gotta admit after hitting 30 my life is worse than ever and I am the most suicidal I have ever been.
Probably suicide or theyre just playing vidya.
>Zoomers
Some I have met are tolerable, but most are complete homosexuals.
>I gotta admit after hitting 30 my life is worse than ever and I am the most suicidal I have ever been.
Same
>playing vidya.
That is something I can hardly even do anymore, because I just hate what it has become, and it no longer feels like it used to for me.
been on LULZ since 2012, but only used to be on /b/ and /gif/, started going on /LULZ/ in 2015. I don't know if it's because I was a teenager back then, but the humor here has dropped considerably. Feels like everyone just wants to get viral and bait, maybe it has always been that way and I just didn't realize it back then but that scooby doo nigga comes to mind as something that was genuinely funny.
I haven't yet
I still FIGHT
But I understand that you say this
/misc/ is full of *literal* senile boomers falling for bullshit social media posts and making threads about them. It used to be just edgy but now it's actually braindead.
this
Found the Hebrew
you're proving his point dude give it a rest
and also free palestine btw (from my view)
didn't you know lmao right-wingers are pro-israelite now
I think after the Oregon shooting the mods totally changed up the LULZ culture. After that "incel" became mainstream and they found other shitty blog sites. I kind of miss those days of Eggman and all. Unironically, the blackpills that anons presented in charts and presentations shaped my worldview of today
/misc/ is full of *literal* senile boomers falling for bullshit social media posts and making threads about them. It used to be just edgy but now it's actually braindead.
to some obscure chans
A lot of them splintered of into smaller altchans after the original 4+LULZ went down. From what I remember they all had very small userbases, paranoid mods, and lots of drama. I'd be surprised if any of them are still active.
Most of them are probably living a normalfag life, married with children. I'm still here, won't be leaving anytime soon. Got two boyfriends thanks to this board, if it wasn't for LULZ or just just LULZ in general I'd 100% be a witch now. Maybe even dead
You'd have to be in your 30s/40s for that. Not saying you aren't though. A lot of newfags like to look up when LULZ was created and say they've been here since 04 or 03... then that would make them very old, while they can't post a single image or reference a single meme from that time period.
Checked and it checks out. See how easy that was for you though? Because you aren't lying. Newfags lie and then can't back it up.
Do any of you have the comic were and oldman talks yo their grandchildren about LULZ.
No shit it's pretty emotional. I erased it from my archives on a whim and now i am nostalgic.
>I've gone through 3 PCs since those times
Heh. Unrelated post but Moore's Law is dead, on tech forums it's not infrequent to see users claiming to still keep and occasionally use old computers. I am using a 2011 Sandy Bridge laptop right now. The world really came to a slow around 2012, and I have even worse news for all of you: covid and the vaccines give you subtle brain damage. So expect the rate of creativity to dry out soon too.
I am in my 30s, and I have been on this site since '04. When you get older you find that there is no reason to care if people believe you or not. Sure I could spam retarded shit like fgsfds, I could talk about the shitcuntery of Eric Bauman, I could regale you of tales of stomping furnaggers and fgts who took the internet too srs, I could yell in all caps like Mr. Zommer of men's warehouse fame, or I could dig up old content one of many hard drives from many long dead computers; but it doesn't matter. This isn't even an original board, fuck this is the 2.0 version of this board.
I frankly couldn't care less for the approval of people who've let imageboard culture get overidden with people drooling over attention whores, American political theatre, and walls of threads about literal who namefag shitcord drama. Being old isn't some mark of pride, it is a mark of shame. You watch everything rot. Really there's not much to do but lurk and steal the very rare gems of funny content left.
>You watch everything rot. Really there's not much to do but lurk and steal the very rare gems of funny content left
That's all I do too. There's only ghosts of old internet culture left. Transparent specters of what things used to be like. This is not even close to the same experience it was 10 years ago, and it is completely foreign to what it was like 20 years ago.
I've been getting a kick out of the AI threads though. Got inspired to make some stupid images of my own too.
AI can be amusing from time to time, I have dabbled in it here and there for twoish years. Can't say I have really involved myself with threads of it around here, maybe it will be worth a perview if you say it is entertaining.
I'm 35 and I have nothing from back then (or today) because I don't care to save anything. I was never the digital hoarder type. What's the point of it? Do you intend to give your hard drives full of memes to your kids if you ever have any? Do you want to be entombed with your memes? Does it make you feel alive to hoard things, like it tethers you to the physical plane and makes you feel like you're cheating death?
Aside from the fact LULZ can't be dug up on the wayback machine for obvious reasons, I can still find images I remember from the late 90s with that thing. It's far more reliable than a fucking 2GB flash drive I formatted with Windows XP twenty years ago. Data storage isn't very good nor was it meant to last very long. None of my ZIP disks nor CD-Rs I made in the early 2000s are readable anymore.
I had a pile of ZIP disks with super early internet images, a few hundred MAME Roms, and episodes of La Blue Girl in glorious 180p. They don't make ZIP drives anymore, nor would the disks work if I had one.
>Why you would bother to archive all that? Does it make you happy?
I'm with you on the no-archiving thing. It all fades away no matter how hard you try.
I guess I like to keep mementos with me of something I thought was really fun. Like when I see a La Blue Girl VHS it takes me back to when I was a lad who could yank it 3 or 4 times in a day. Gazing backwards isn't healthy, I know. But deep down, memories are all we can really keep in this world and if it takes a CD-R worth of Linkin Park MP3s to boost my memories so be it.
I never used to save images much from LULZ besides the info dumps back then, because I find memes pointless and retarded most of the time. I have a ton of video game screenshots of owning / destroying online portions of video games (clans, leaderboards, etc. with trolling) from back then (2005 - 2009, then the end of 2011 - 2023), but it's pointless and retarded as hell, plus a massive waste of time. I am fucking retarded with being a troll though, so I don't think I will ever stop until I die, but I do get bored of it and quit for a while.
With LULZ recently, which is probably seven years ago now or maybe a few more the last most recent trolling dumb shit I bothered with was doing a bunch of animated GIFs with the reply or your mom dies stuff and then converted some into WebMs, but I mostly bothered with GIFs or PNGs. A ton of those stupid things were from my friend and I.
>A lot of newfags like to look up when LULZ was created and say they've been here since 04 or 03... then that would make them very old, while they can't post a single image or reference a single meme from that time period. >It's so silly.
I realize, and it's dumb. Being old or apart of something forever that you no-lifed a bit makes no difference and if you're like myself you just end up feeling dumb from wasting so much time on it, but it's not like I would be doing anything better, so I can't really complain. Also, getting old sucks fucking ass. I hurt so bad and I take good care of myself, but fuck man the joint pain is unreal some days. Hopefully other anon's don't deal with something similar.
There is a point around 2014-2015 where LULZ went from being a more chilled version of /b/ with funny greentext stories or introspective discussions, to insane terminally online homosexuals and autists who lack self awareness, with the general pop resembling Elliott Rodger who fail to understand nuance or basic social interaction.
I am a sperg, but LULZ is a home for twin-turbo spergs.
This. This is 100% true. We had TWO versions of the board and it's always been the place people went to talk about >tfw no gf
That was the original WUJACK meme. From here.
Tourists are just ignorant normies who believe whatever reddit told them about this place.
Yeah, they literally brought it back as a quarantine board, because people kept flooding blue boards with tfw no gf threads (and back then no one even called him wojak, it was "feels guy"). homosexual revisionists speak with a lot of confidence about things they didn't witness.
> homosexual revisionists speak with a lot of confidence about things they didn't witness.
Based, keyed-in truth and THISx1000
Second-handers dude. Second-hand people who weren't around when something happened who want to speak about it, who don't update their own little revised history when corrected, just get emotionally upset and double down on it.
They're complete mental parasites. I've spent 8 fucking 10 fucking years now telling people >Look you weren't there, so maybe you don't know about this like I do... because i was there?
They can't handle that, at ALL!
I got a job as a mechanic. I got into working on classic euro shitboxes 2 years ago. It requires me to learn a lot of old tech during free time. It doesn't pay well and it doesn't make me happy but I do not care anymore. I have an old illegal shitbox of my own which sucks up all the money and time. I have nothing better to do anyway so I might aswell keep going like this.
Pic not related I guess, I cannot imagine a person, no matter how poor or bitter, talking shit about a classic 911. You probably work with old golfs, corsas, volvos and mercs right? SOunds fun, one of the electronic repair youtubers I follow has been making vids about the "looming car repairability crisis" or something along those lines. He says good mechanics with specialized electronics/computer knowledge will soon be in high demand once all the current playstations on wheels that are modern cars start breaking down but make it hell for owners because manufacturers left all kind of "booby traps" when doing diy repairs.
10 years is a long time to change. They probably went outside, realized it's not pol. Actually spoke to some women and changed to healthier views than this echo chamber of gay and hopeless.
You guys really need to drop this stereotype that people here have the views they have because they never interact with reality -- where it's the opposite -- we interact with reality and come here complaining about it.
That made me almost nostalgic... My memory is pretty bad, but I do distinctly remember this LARPing tripfag and his "yandere" girlfriend that would throw up in his food.
I stopped regularly browsing /LULZ/ in 2016/2017 after it went full tranny. 2015 was the last year that /LULZ/ was somewhat tolerable. The fact that most robots were born well after 2000 also makes it a little harder for me to relate to the average poster.
they stop posting because everything there is to be said has been said already and boards just turn more and more shit.
10 years ago nobody indulged people pretending to be girls online, bringing up gender just derailed threads with tits or gtfo. simps ruin everything.
Eh, just not posting/browsing as much since the threads here have just been copypasted shit for so long. Been here since pre-deletion. I really don't care about reading the exact same thread about how women/relationships suck and are impossible to get for the millionth time, even if it was true. There really isn't much else to this board, besides the obvious I'm a grill bait, rage baits and other shit like that. I'm guessing most of that content is made by newfags who haven't grown tired of it yet.
Also, I'd rather avoid thinking about things related to real life.
I'm still here. Survived a LULZ-inspired suicide attempt, then found love, dated this girl for 5 years, then she left me for some rich dude, after which I pretty much gave up and fell into a 2 year long drug addiction. Now I'm slowly recovering, don't use anything but weed, have a job, play music in my free time. I don't have much hope for the future, but after getting older I stopped feeling so extremely depressed all the time and getting upset over little things. I feel better and frog memes give me a sweet feeling of nostalgia. I came to understand that you can't turn normie from being a depressed autist, but that doesn't prevent you from finding your own type of happiness, even if solitary. Nice to hear some of the bros from back in the day are still here.
I'm still here and first arrived in 2014, so just shy of 10 years. I moved in with a femanon back in 2019, left the board for a bit. Then broke up in January and now I'm back q.q
killed themselves god willing
now why would you say such a horrible thing?
newfag get out
>an hero
>became normalfags
>homeless
>lurking
these are my main guesses
I am still here, I have been on LULZ since 2007. Eternal newfag.
I am a failed normalfag who suppresses his autism and suffers greatly for it mentally.
Same as my brother
I just became neet again after 7 years and I feel free, but I have so many responsibilities now I need a new wage cage before I become homeless.
Considering buying a van, maybe drive around and exit if I find an opportunity.
At least mum will have a nice amount of cash, maybe she can pay off some of the mortgage.
my nigga i feel you
literally just became a neet (unwillingly) recently and its liberating as hell. i havent slept this well, i havent felt this close to myself, and i have no problem getting up in the mornings anymore. unfortunately it cant last forever and i need a way to pay bills asap and am about to have a megaton of responsibilities shift onto me very soon, so what the hell.
idk what im going to do with my life and my future seems bleak, but at least im right there with you bro
I check this board every now and then, but I've become more of a normie. (still an incel, just a pacified one)
I was thinking these exactly as well
I'm still here and wondering the same thing, I miss all the good effort posting we used to do. Zoomies moved in and brought their shit, watered-down redditor/discord bullshit in here.
still here. just.. quiet
Same sssaaayyyiuummm
Plenty of us are still here. Probably less than 1% committed suicide and the rest never stop coming back.
Not sure, but I've been here for over 16 years at this point.
I came back for a little while after a big heartbreak. I have a successful career and I've 'dated' women and whatnot, but everyone around me feels so empty. I still talk to my homie Jim from LULZ but that's about it.
We aren't fake Ass bitches. Welcome back.
lot of dudes pretending to be women these days. Did people forget what tits or gtfo was?
they don't care anymore, the fantasy is enough
look at the board man, it's not worth it trying to compete against thousands of low IQ tards and who knows how many fancy new LLM bots spewing the same garbage threads 24/7.
I'm still here but I lurk. There's little point in engaging here plus /LULZ/ is really more for younger audiences despite the rules. I started browsing when I was like 15 in 2012. I'm 27 now.

>I started browsing when I was like 15 in 2012. I'm 27 now. Things change.
This is almost literally me, except things only got worse.
I've been using LULZ since 2008 and have known of LULZ since at least 2013 but I was actively underaged for most of that time and probably didn't get to experience the community the same way as anyone of proper age tbh

>internet often has a bad vibe now
It always has
right here bwo whachoo want
I'm still here
been here since 2006
i'm still here. i've been here since like 06 or 07.
people change or move on. some places lock websites.
Believe it or not I haven't been active here in ten years but I recently started checking again, mostly out of morbid curiosity. It's definitely different here. My favorite LULZ year was 2011. I remember when we called each other "gentlemen" on this board.

2015 reporting in originally
I've been here for 13 years on and off. I don't know if I have matured or the board has gotten worse, but anons just disappoint me a lot these days in a way that I don't remember happening before.
The entire site has gotten worse, the main demographic has changed.
its the zoomers and pretty soon gen alpha, notice no new good memes just recycled pepe and wojak chud garbage, its fucking over m8
I don't think you could make content here without other sites immediately stealing it now a days, there's no really insider culture anymore I'm sure some subhuman probably thinks that's a good thing or sees it synonymous with gatekeeping
I'm still here. I'm just a normie now so I don't have much to contribute.
I'm still here, I just hate zoomers and their terrible and unfunny threads. This board is like a gross little petri dish full of loser germs that I peek in on out of curiosity, even though the novelty has worn thin.
I am still here
Still a dateless virgin
I didn't use /LULZ/ much back then, but still here also.
Been in and out of here since 2012, longest period about 3 years without even posting.

Made a lot of really nice and genuine friends from sft I still talk to regularly
>tfw i was here when it was LULZ
>tfw i was here before LULZ
i'm here forever
Still here since 2009.
Still here and I will always be here, can't leave this broken brain behind, so I will always be mentally ill.
you don't count. you didn't even post until after you were a jaded tranny.
2014 and i'm still here. i came here when i was underaged though because i thought the gaymer gate garbage was funny at the time. honestly i probably didn't really even know what was actually going on or experience the site like not underaged people did but it's okay. this place fucking sucks now though so i just fuck with people and make retarded threads of my own once in a blue moon.
i'm here forever
i started browsing here like 10 years ago and i'm still here.
that's fine though, it isn't like LULZ runs my life.
Anyone remember the cockmusic schizo?
I miss him, his threads were 100x better than the mindless racebait we get now.
I'm still here since 2008
I wasn't on /LULZ/ 10 years ago. I mostly lurked on blue boards like LULZ, LULZ and /wsg/ and only came here in 2017, so I'm kind of a newfag on this board but at least I'm a robot, unlike many normalfags who post here.

for real i cringe when i look back and think about being sympathetic towards liberalism then. i wish i had been able to appreciate how based the alt right actually was and how it was a continuation of chan culture
first panel is as cringe as the last
t. second panel warrior
>and only came here in 2017
why 2017??
Been here since 2006. I mostly just lurk. I'm really only here out of force of habit more than anything. I hate how /LULZ/ is mostly forced psyops these days.
I have been on LULZ since 2007 and I am still here every now and then. I mostly don't post, because it's not the same anymore and zoomers are just complete fucking homosexuals non-stop most of the time.
>I hate how /LULZ/ is mostly forced psyops these days.
I used to enjoy the greentext stories and the better posts overall. I miss /b/ too when shit used to actually happen and be funny as hell, instead of just porn unreal.
>Zoomers
Some I have met are tolerable, but most are complete homosexuals.
>I gotta admit after hitting 30 my life is worse than ever and I am the most suicidal I have ever been.
Same
>playing vidya.
That is something I can hardly even do anymore, because I just hate what it has become, and it no longer feels like it used to for me.
either dead or gave up
I havent been here since 2015
been on LULZ since 2012, but only used to be on /b/ and /gif/, started going on /LULZ/ in 2015. I don't know if it's because I was a teenager back then, but the humor here has dropped considerably. Feels like everyone just wants to get viral and bait, maybe it has always been that way and I just didn't realize it back then but that scooby doo nigga comes to mind as something that was genuinely funny.
wonder how many of my actually serious non bait posts went "viral" by snippers
you mellow out by the time you hit your 30s and accept the bullshit
Yes but I am deprived socially
I haven't yet
I still FIGHT
But I understand that you say this
this
you're proving his point dude give it a rest
and also free palestine btw (from my view)
didn't you know lmao right-wingers are pro-israelite now
one more year will mark a decade visiting this place
>where did all the anons from ten years ago go?
It's a mystery, all right...
Most are still here or wasting their times in other boards. We lost some of course, but not a lot.
I think after the Oregon shooting the mods totally changed up the LULZ culture. After that "incel" became mainstream and they found other shitty blog sites. I kind of miss those days of Eggman and all. Unironically, the blackpills that anons presented in charts and presentations shaped my worldview of today
Your next step is /misc/
/misc/ is full of *literal* senile boomers falling for bullshit social media posts and making threads about them. It used to be just edgy but now it's actually braindead.
yea, actual retards believing anything they see online that comes from facebook. i have one too many magatards in my family and i'm sick of it
Found the Hebrew
Suicide or became normal. I dont see a single person over 30 anywhere online.
>where did all the suicidal dudes from the suicidal board went?
>got a life
>offed themselves
>migrated to some obscure chans
to some obscure chans
A lot of them splintered of into smaller altchans after the original 4+LULZ went down. From what I remember they all had very small userbases, paranoid mods, and lots of drama. I'd be surprised if any of them are still active.
Even wizchan is dead and full of zoomers. I gotta admit after hitting 30 my life is worse than ever and I am the most suicidal I have ever been.
Probably suicide or theyre just playing vidya.
wow
yeah feel you on that
there are some old fembots out there too
not that you should only look for those but
it would be nice to find someone
I've been trying to figure that out for a long time. I'm still here though!
Most of them are probably living a normalfag life, married with children. I'm still here, won't be leaving anytime soon. Got two boyfriends thanks to this board, if it wasn't for LULZ or just just LULZ in general I'd 100% be a witch now. Maybe even dead
Been here since 05
I'm still here, homosexual
I reply to maybe like 2 threads a day
You'd have to be in your 30s/40s for that. Not saying you aren't though. A lot of newfags like to look up when LULZ was created and say they've been here since 04 or 03... then that would make them very old, while they can't post a single image or reference a single meme from that time period.
It's so silly.
I am in fact 37
I've gone through 3 PCs since those times
This is the oldest thing I've got
Checked and it checks out. See how easy that was for you though? Because you aren't lying. Newfags lie and then can't back it up.
Do any of you have the comic were and oldman talks yo their grandchildren about LULZ.
No shit it's pretty emotional. I erased it from my archives on a whim and now i am nostalgic.
>See you, space cowboys
I don't have it, was looking around for it but I don't have it.
>I've gone through 3 PCs since those times
Heh. Unrelated post but Moore's Law is dead, on tech forums it's not infrequent to see users claiming to still keep and occasionally use old computers. I am using a 2011 Sandy Bridge laptop right now. The world really came to a slow around 2012, and I have even worse news for all of you: covid and the vaccines give you subtle brain damage. So expect the rate of creativity to dry out soon too.
I am in my 30s, and I have been on this site since '04. When you get older you find that there is no reason to care if people believe you or not. Sure I could spam retarded shit like fgsfds, I could talk about the shitcuntery of Eric Bauman, I could regale you of tales of stomping furnaggers and fgts who took the internet too srs, I could yell in all caps like Mr. Zommer of men's warehouse fame, or I could dig up old content one of many hard drives from many long dead computers; but it doesn't matter. This isn't even an original board, fuck this is the 2.0 version of this board.
I frankly couldn't care less for the approval of people who've let imageboard culture get overidden with people drooling over attention whores, American political theatre, and walls of threads about literal who namefag shitcord drama. Being old isn't some mark of pride, it is a mark of shame. You watch everything rot. Really there's not much to do but lurk and steal the very rare gems of funny content left.
>You watch everything rot. Really there's not much to do but lurk and steal the very rare gems of funny content left
That's all I do too. There's only ghosts of old internet culture left. Transparent specters of what things used to be like. This is not even close to the same experience it was 10 years ago, and it is completely foreign to what it was like 20 years ago.
I've been getting a kick out of the AI threads though. Got inspired to make some stupid images of my own too.
AI can be amusing from time to time, I have dabbled in it here and there for twoish years. Can't say I have really involved myself with threads of it around here, maybe it will be worth a perview if you say it is entertaining.
>AI
you know i have 2,000,000 LULZ posts, been thinking of trainign an llm to keep me company
I'm 35 and I have nothing from back then (or today) because I don't care to save anything. I was never the digital hoarder type. What's the point of it? Do you intend to give your hard drives full of memes to your kids if you ever have any? Do you want to be entombed with your memes? Does it make you feel alive to hoard things, like it tethers you to the physical plane and makes you feel like you're cheating death?
Aside from the fact LULZ can't be dug up on the wayback machine for obvious reasons, I can still find images I remember from the late 90s with that thing. It's far more reliable than a fucking 2GB flash drive I formatted with Windows XP twenty years ago. Data storage isn't very good nor was it meant to last very long. None of my ZIP disks nor CD-Rs I made in the early 2000s are readable anymore.
I had a pile of ZIP disks with super early internet images, a few hundred MAME Roms, and episodes of La Blue Girl in glorious 180p. They don't make ZIP drives anymore, nor would the disks work if I had one.
I understand. But you didn't answer my questions. Why you would bother to archive all that? Does it make you happy?
>Why you would bother to archive all that? Does it make you happy?
I'm with you on the no-archiving thing. It all fades away no matter how hard you try.
I guess I like to keep mementos with me of something I thought was really fun. Like when I see a La Blue Girl VHS it takes me back to when I was a lad who could yank it 3 or 4 times in a day. Gazing backwards isn't healthy, I know. But deep down, memories are all we can really keep in this world and if it takes a CD-R worth of Linkin Park MP3s to boost my memories so be it.
i only have images from 2011 and a few i saved after 2011 which have unix stamps before then
I never used to save images much from LULZ besides the info dumps back then, because I find memes pointless and retarded most of the time. I have a ton of video game screenshots of owning / destroying online portions of video games (clans, leaderboards, etc. with trolling) from back then (2005 - 2009, then the end of 2011 - 2023), but it's pointless and retarded as hell, plus a massive waste of time. I am fucking retarded with being a troll though, so I don't think I will ever stop until I die, but I do get bored of it and quit for a while.
With LULZ recently, which is probably seven years ago now or maybe a few more the last most recent trolling dumb shit I bothered with was doing a bunch of animated GIFs with the reply or your mom dies stuff and then converted some into WebMs, but I mostly bothered with GIFs or PNGs. A ton of those stupid things were from my friend and I.
>A lot of newfags like to look up when LULZ was created and say they've been here since 04 or 03... then that would make them very old, while they can't post a single image or reference a single meme from that time period.
>It's so silly.
I realize, and it's dumb. Being old or apart of something forever that you no-lifed a bit makes no difference and if you're like myself you just end up feeling dumb from wasting so much time on it, but it's not like I would be doing anything better, so I can't really complain. Also, getting old sucks fucking ass. I hurt so bad and I take good care of myself, but fuck man the joint pain is unreal some days. Hopefully other anon's don't deal with something similar.
There is a point around 2014-2015 where LULZ went from being a more chilled version of /b/ with funny greentext stories or introspective discussions, to insane terminally online homosexuals and autists who lack self awareness, with the general pop resembling Elliott Rodger who fail to understand nuance or basic social interaction.
I am a sperg, but LULZ is a home for twin-turbo spergs.
Why do you lie? /LULZ/ has been the no gf/depression board for way longer than you claim.
This. This is 100% true. We had TWO versions of the board and it's always been the place people went to talk about
>tfw no gf
That was the original WUJACK meme. From here.
Tourists are just ignorant normies who believe whatever reddit told them about this place.
Yeah, they literally brought it back as a quarantine board, because people kept flooding blue boards with tfw no gf threads (and back then no one even called him wojak, it was "feels guy"). homosexual revisionists speak with a lot of confidence about things they didn't witness.
> homosexual revisionists speak with a lot of confidence about things they didn't witness.
Based, keyed-in truth and THISx1000
Second-handers dude. Second-hand people who weren't around when something happened who want to speak about it, who don't update their own little revised history when corrected, just get emotionally upset and double down on it.
They're complete mental parasites. I've spent 8 fucking 10 fucking years now telling people
>Look you weren't there, so maybe you don't know about this like I do... because i was there?
They can't handle that, at ALL!
I got a job as a mechanic. I got into working on classic euro shitboxes 2 years ago. It requires me to learn a lot of old tech during free time. It doesn't pay well and it doesn't make me happy but I do not care anymore. I have an old illegal shitbox of my own which sucks up all the money and time. I have nothing better to do anyway so I might aswell keep going like this.
I like your job annon, it's pretty cool.
Pic not related I guess, I cannot imagine a person, no matter how poor or bitter, talking shit about a classic 911. You probably work with old golfs, corsas, volvos and mercs right? SOunds fun, one of the electronic repair youtubers I follow has been making vids about the "looming car repairability crisis" or something along those lines. He says good mechanics with specialized electronics/computer knowledge will soon be in high demand once all the current playstations on wheels that are modern cars start breaking down but make it hell for owners because manufacturers left all kind of "booby traps" when doing diy repairs.
i got out of neetdom and became an engineer,
i m not really happier
10 years is a long time to change. They probably went outside, realized it's not pol. Actually spoke to some women and changed to healthier views than this echo chamber of gay and hopeless.
You guys really need to drop this stereotype that people here have the views they have because they never interact with reality -- where it's the opposite -- we interact with reality and come here complaining about it.
I am here, I was here when yandere generals were a thing so....
Yeah and funny how that meme-fetish faded out into tranny and gay bullshit. Like they keep racing to the bottom.
That made me almost nostalgic... My memory is pretty bad, but I do distinctly remember this LARPing tripfag and his "yandere" girlfriend that would throw up in his food.
tsuyu is a cute
might read bnha again for her
too busy with the kids to post here anymore
driven out by discord subhumans
I stopped regularly browsing /LULZ/ in 2016/2017 after it went full tranny. 2015 was the last year that /LULZ/ was somewhat tolerable. The fact that most robots were born well after 2000 also makes it a little harder for me to relate to the average poster.
I'm still here, sort of a normalfag, browse sparingly when I'm down. Also 10 years ago was 2013
Are you sure that 2013 was 10 years ago?
I'm still here, but tbqh I don't post on /LULZ/ much anymore. Usually chilling on /k/ and /vst/ these days.
they stop posting because everything there is to be said has been said already and boards just turn more and more shit.
10 years ago nobody indulged people pretending to be girls online, bringing up gender just derailed threads with tits or gtfo. simps ruin everything.
I cant stop posting because im so miserable and lonely. I was the only true robot all along.
Killed themselves and if they didn't already they trooned out and will just kill themselves at some point
I'm still here, but I trooned out and had sex, so /LULZ/ doesn't want me anymore.
Eh, just not posting/browsing as much since the threads here have just been copypasted shit for so long. Been here since pre-deletion. I really don't care about reading the exact same thread about how women/relationships suck and are impossible to get for the millionth time, even if it was true. There really isn't much else to this board, besides the obvious I'm a grill bait, rage baits and other shit like that. I'm guessing most of that content is made by newfags who haven't grown tired of it yet.
Also, I'd rather avoid thinking about things related to real life.
I'm still here. Survived a LULZ-inspired suicide attempt, then found love, dated this girl for 5 years, then she left me for some rich dude, after which I pretty much gave up and fell into a 2 year long drug addiction. Now I'm slowly recovering, don't use anything but weed, have a job, play music in my free time. I don't have much hope for the future, but after getting older I stopped feeling so extremely depressed all the time and getting upset over little things. I feel better and frog memes give me a sweet feeling of nostalgia. I came to understand that you can't turn normie from being a depressed autist, but that doesn't prevent you from finding your own type of happiness, even if solitary. Nice to hear some of the bros from back in the day are still here.
Still here, this might be a prison but it's my prison.
I got married
Had a kid
Got divorced
Working my job while fucking prostitutes on some weekends.
We're still here. Don't forget you're here forever.
I'm still here and first arrived in 2014, so just shy of 10 years. I moved in with a femanon back in 2019, left the board for a bit. Then broke up in January and now I'm back q.q
Even when you think you've made it, you havent
