>>92925285i started in late 2007 when everyone was desuposting and was the most insufferable newfag in 08-09.
then in '10 or '11 my ISP got banned for YEARS and I was lurk only, thats when I switched to other chans for a good while.
i dont know if i miss it. like, if i could get a timeportal, yeah sure id browse the place but archives generally do stretch back that much so I can do that now, in fact at a time i was a huge archivewhore to the point of ghostposting and visiting archive IRCs.
all in all, late night /a/posting and early jp years had their charm, hopping on /f/ friday night to peruse some funky swfs, grabbing wallpapers from w, looking at cute girls on c, and jerking off on e and h was my life for a good few years.
