Does anybody here remember the hentai sites back in the day? The ones where you would get galleries of photos, most of them taken from crappy visual novels with lots of censors. I would go to those sites mainly for the forums and one day (I think it was on exhentai) one of the people who ran it got fed up with me and told me to go to a place called "4chan", my life has never been the same since.
Most of the major ISPs now block FTP/HTTP ports, if you try to setup a home server on your own box. Also, you basically have to use DynDNS, because the ISPs usually use dynamic IPs.
Despite one of my earliest memories of 4chan being unpleasant (some douchebg said something mean to me on /b/) I really really love old-school 4chan. It was such a unique and wonderful place ... like it encapsulated geek culture of that time ... now that tech is so mainstream and all the normies are on the web now that feeling has completely disappeared. 4chan of today is absolutely nothing like it used to be. There was this special and unique Japanophile aspect to it, with the community being comprised of real otaku, not these fucking normie fucks like you find today who discovered anime through crunchyroll and netflix and goddamn I wish I could murder those stupid whores who dress up as anime or video game characters and then do porn ... "LOL LOOK AT ME I'M SUCH A GEEK LOL" ... those whores defile sacred and pure 2D women. Everything back then was more special and unique and no, this is not nostalgia, because I have literally lived on the web since 12 and saw in realtime the transition, everything started getting really boring around 2008 - 2012. All I wanna do is go on 4chan and see the sidebar back, anime porn front and center, normies and otaku haters gone, Japanphiles back and everything back in swing. It's really weird too because when I go there now it's very obvious the people there are clueless about what the site is truly/was truly about, they feel like completely different people. I wonder where all the oldfags went. I'm afraid to visit Japan now because it might be completely different than the one I wanted to visit when I was 15.
This isn't my screenshot but just take a look at it
isn't it beautiful?
The sidebar MSN Messenger Windows XP WinAmp Anime porn right next to the technology board People talking about real videya like Metal Gear ... not this modern garbage like fortnight or whatever
I seriously contemplate suicide just so I can go back and relive that era
Guys, I'm going to revive the early to mid 00s and keep it alive for eternity. We can pretend as though the 2010s never happened. Throw away your "smart"phone, go back to Windows XP or something prior, don't ever use a widescreen monitor or television and make sure to stock up on PS2s and Xboxes.
I fucking hate this piece of dogshit modern world with it's bland soullessness, jews pushing for mind control and censorship, the left replacing the religious right as the no-fun-allowed nannies and gaming being so shallow and boring. The 2010s decade is objectively garbage. Here is to hoping the 2020s will be better.
I use WinXP mainly for the ability to play the old classic MS-Dos/Win based games, like Warcraft II Tides of Darkness, Starcraft, HalfLife, Medal of Honor, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake/QuakeII, Blood, Recoil, RedLine, HitMan, etc,. The kind of games you can come back to years later and they still deliver. The games of today are complete and utter garbage. Who wants "real", when you're playing a game!? An epic game should be fun, not real.

They are and believe me, it is not goddamn fucking "nostalgia". People used to put so much effort into games, now they feel so hollow and formulaic. The 6th generation was an absolute FUCKING masterpiece and then the 7th happened, which I recognized as being shit back then so it wasn't nostalgia. The 8th gen has been so mediocre it's depressing. We have virtual reality now but I'm not even excited because gaming has gone to shit and jews want to control everything so I have no hope for that medium as far as gaming is concerned.

I like first-person action games which have a "cartoonish quality", like No One Lives Forever, or Quake. Right now, I'm playing Soldier of Fortune.
Eh I was never into pure FPS, I like the ones that have a story and are more like adventure games such as The Darkness.
I tried installing Postal 2 earlier but for whatever reason the disc shows up with malware so idk. I'll try installing Morrowind and have some fun with that, I never have gotten around to finishing that one.
