 The biggest problem with 4chan as a whole is that it's just not organic and subsequently entertaining anymore. It used to be fun. It's never fun now. 
 I’ve been on 4chan for a substantial portion of my time, as in I remember days I went there and saw Ron Paul everywhere. I was there when that hilarious Z Trials Dragon Ball Z image was posted to commemorate the Zimmerman Trial. It was so much fun back then. 
 Thank you for reminding me. I would have totally forgotten. I promised to send my dad the "Jaffa calling" clip on Sunday and never did. 
 It's interesting when capcha goes down for a while and the bots can't post until it is fixed. It's rare but there is a massive difference in tone and quality when it happens. 
 Just remember that when there's an Internet outage in kikesrael all the blacked/BBC posters suddenly and mysteriously disappear. 
 I want to relate a story I spoke about a long time ago, but it’s still as relevant as ever. A couple of years ago, early in the year, Israel was being shelled by the usual suspects but this was before Discord and its adjacent raid parties had gotten started so we have constant nonsense posted 24/7.

But this shelling of Tel Aviv came with an interesting silence on those kinds of threads. For a few short days, information flowed freely and the board was back to its old self, it was like /pol/ collectively had the most schizophrenic change of heart and mind, like an old relative seeing through the fog of their delusion and they were back to their old selves again.

Then the shelling stopped. Then the nonsense continued. It was a very, very strange occurrence for me to witness firsthand.

 @owl. @GreentextBot @[pyrate] @Mr.All Sunday :PeepoSalute: 🇬🇷 @Rayfield @Xeraser 🇮🇹 (moved to @xeraser@varishangout.n... @mr bigot, smarter than a nigger Very similar results on the April Fool’s when they merged /mlp/ and /pol/ though I’ve forgotten which year 
 It was also through this that /pol/ found out they had a legitimate ally in /mlp/ who recognized much about societal rot and was generally on the same page as /pol/, which was actually somewhat funny.
