>>4439666I have a copy of the first one and I believe I was in every /p/hotobook that was printed, I know I was in the first one for sure, it's been a while.
Those WERE the days, there's a lot of you that weren't here for the PhotoshopR threads where he actually taught you shit. Alex Burke had a different thread up every couple of weeks that talked about Photoshop layering and how he processed his slide scans. People learned shit here and applied it. Even I learned a few things.
Then I had the challenge threads, which got trolled, then another anon did the challenge threads and wasn't trolled. I had a continuous Sugar Thread up for like 3 years. It's not just rose-tinted glasses, /p/ used to actually be better. I remember looking forward to LAiN's red sunset threads and Bassackwards drunk ramblings, I miss him, I know he's probably dead but wherever he is I hope he is at peace.
I think the beginning of the end was when the faggot jannies slapped PhotoshopR on the pp I can't remember why but it was something dumb. That ended his stream of knowledge and he just kind of fucked off. And one by one people just started leaving, some I'm sure found girlfriends and started families and photography had to vie for a portion of their time, most of us grew old and life got busy.
Now it's just trolling, dumb ass memes and shitty gear threads I genuinely don't know why I've stayed around.
Maybe it's my time to finally go.
