tl;dr
Anonymous File :-(, x)
I've been here over two years.
Since I'm now pushing the top age of /b/'s typical demographic, it's pretty hard watching this younger generation move in. I think they suffer from the dissolving of the influence of our superior early 90's entertainment and concepts. They grew up on increasingly watered down media, and missed out on the earlier establishments of the interwebs and their computer classes were no longer in their larval stages. You can say /b/ was never good, but the phrase has finally become moot in /b/'s current incarnation. Cries of cancer are down, because most Anonymous don't see it that way now.
This is just fitness, but this board reminds me, to an extent, of when /b/ was still diverse, funny, and cancer free. How smug anon once was in knowing that fellow anon was to have bursts of intelligence and entertaining twists, and was capable of impacting the internet in a way that almost seemed to matter. In between modGET's and cockmongling, /b/tv's cult programming gave us insomnia, as its dunce cinematics represented a definitive hive mind. This epic lulz "honk if you hate Scientology" shit-incarnate would have been aborted before anyone heard of it.
These things don't happen on /fit/ of course, but it's been like an early /n/ or something when people were okay with hitting submit on an insightful observation under the guise of Anonymous, expecting nothing in return but similar submissions and ongoing lulz. I sometimes still wander the flatulant halls of /b/ looking for this.
/fit/ seems to have convened a few of the old regulars, or just some sharper people who care about wellness and even though it's probably not going to last, it's been nice having something besides /o/ to visit on a website that once was of some influence to me.
