That board has eternally been 50% syjacks, 25% pepes, 10% /bant/ tier discordshit, 5% leebait and 5% retards from other boards whining. To go back to 2018 just add the sy portion to the frog portion and congrats, you have kewayy. Go back further and the board is literally just frozen because of /mlpol/ spam.
It's always been worse than /bant/, the only difference is that they had a literal bumpcult full of spinoff autists at one point while we only had a few touhoufags that necroed threads.
Kind of glad it's always steeped in shit because it's notoriously been a buffer board for raiding /bant/. Frog spam waves, slowjack spamwaves, sy spam waves, all likely came from /qa/. It's a cesspool even more than this place.
