Champing used to be taken way less seriously and was based way less on established guidelines (I would ignore OU mons, most champs would ignore posts that weren't replies to theirs because of pretyping, etc. and everyone was cool with it). Suggestions were almost never sets, and some champs used to ignore full set suggestions because they killed the teambuilding aspect of showderp. Also, most champs were from showdown general or /cpg/ (me included), so they were more likely to have a competitive background. As for shitposting, Showderp has always had it to some degree, there were just less people.
Oh yeah, and there were regular sanic dumps in the thread.
That's pretty much old showderp in a nutshell.
