It wasn't that different, there were still many schizos, bitchtits and wolfie were still on /asp/, console wars was slightly reduced, there was no reddit jerk presence. Major difference for me is anons on /asp/ were more likely to treat memes and posts as if it were a wrestling promo, they'd cheer or boo people and try and get gimmicks over, whereas on /pw/ that playful creaitivity is gone and people get legit shoot angry at each other over shit like ratings.
