Back in my day you had to use an external catalog, if there even was one. We browsed with frames on. Didn't noko? Good luck finding your thread. We didn't even have /pol/. People posted sage in the email field to let people know that they didn't like their thread. Want to use 4chan comfortably? Let's hope some faggot on /g/ makes a good extension that isn't constantly broken by shitty devs and browser updates.
And my favorite part: get banned? You can't even lurk! You literally couldn't even view 4chan other than the homepage if you were banned.
BRING BACK NO LURK BANS
