the internet should've never left desktops
having it on smart phones fricked everyone
you're stupid
it's only about the ages and the nature of the users
up to ~2010: not all babies and old people were on the internet; most people weren't even on it even if they were young; it was mostly computer nerds up to ~2002-5.
heres the phoneposter who ruined the internet
Absolutely seething! Over a telephone, no less!
zoom zoom detected. Do the sneedful and kys

Could be worse, I could be above the age of thirty. Can you imagine! Kek
lol, I'm sure you will never get old...And while I may be 38. I can at least speak to the topic of this thread with experience while you make up nonsense while phone gazing, and being completely unaware of what the world was like just 20 years prior.
I cannot imagine being almost forty. You are a bitter, sexless old man who stamps his feet and wrings his little hands when he’s reminded of those younger than him. You must be insufferable irl
Being almost forty, holy kek! Read my name
How dare you speak to me like that, you you insolent young man!
aging is great! I get to look back at how stupid I was when I was your age. And recognize the moronation of the current youth. It will happen to you too, you can ignore it like a child or embrace it like a man

>up to ~2010: not all babies and old people were on the internet
and what do you think made that possible, moron?
Came here to say this
Edit: thanks for the gold
It unironically killed the west
there was a huge cultural shift in basically every aspect (all for the worse) from 2007 to 2010 when internet went mainstream
that's like accusing electricity for having dangerous usages
learn to use the internet properly
filter it from inane content by just not visiting it
yeah everybody wanted to act like those cool kids on Cinemaphile in real life
I don't know if you're joking or not but in 2009-2011 everyone was spouting Cinemaphile memes in real life and it was truly bizarre.
Nah that was more like 2016 but even then only like the edgiest republicans were doing it, and perhaps a few celebrities posted pepes without realizing their source. And children, of course. white male children. But that's what this site is comprised of
Maybe if you went to high school in like Arkansas all the Eugenes and white bois would be spouting Cinemaphile stuff but otherwise definitely nah
It might be a bit different for me, but I remember shitposting IRL in music class by playing Neutral Milk Hotel on guitar and singing terribly. Everyone thought it was kind of goofy that I was screaming about Anne Frank, but only the other autistic morons knew what I was really doing.
>republicans
I hate Americans so much you wouldn't believe.
The world doesn't revolve around your identical corporate-owned political parties you drooling imbecile.
It wasn't even 2016. It was 2019 or so when completely braindead normalgays straight from facebook started posting this garbage. Americans on this site didn't identify by political parties because this place was unknown to the stupidiest of normalgays.
Rhej is a great place to work for and it is a great place to work for and it is a great place to work for and it is a great place to work for
Someone translate this zoomer nonsense.
Tjrj is a very popular sport for people that use their products and their business to make sure that they are not the only ones that can be found on their own and their business is not a good thing
Even MSN messenger was a fricking corrupting scourge on the youth.
2007 was the last innocent year of the internet.
2015 was the last last decent year of the internet.
It's been going downhill since then.
the last decent year of the internet was 2012
the last innocent year of the internet was [not applicable]
the last decent year of the internet was 2006
someone post the 2007 image please
imagine how much better the world would've been if the internet came out in the '50s and tv didn't come out until now
b***h what?
what about that post do you not understand
The internet is the same as it ever was, you idiot. What changed was the people using the internet. Ask any oldgay (not that there's any around) what Cinemaphile used to be like and they'll tell you the place is unrecognisable now because there's black people, trannies, women and so on on Cinemaphile and none of them are capable of having an intelligent discussion.
You say the internet sucks? Guess what, the internet is populated by people that exist in the real world. That's what you should be sad about.
Cinemaphile didn't exist back then, the most chaotic place was probably usenet
also it was more boring in some sense because most users were computer nerds; you could find almost nothing in depth unless it was for computer technology; now the normie places are more inane but the specialized places are more in depth.
The internet should be a tool for learning, not some time wasting device.
it can be for you, if you aren't a passive consoomer, and learn how to not visit the inane parts of it
I'm not necessarily in disagreement, it's that all of the clutter is bogging down the system.
it's mainly a symptom of all the literal babies and very old people using it now after ~2010, which explains why youtube etc. are now 80% inane content.
more uneducated people use it too but it's mainly the age thing because in the early days most adults on it weren't even that varied in education (mainly computer nerds).
Don't forget people trying to get their name etched into the stone. Or the types that ask a question that has been answered and is located on a million different servers across the globe. But lets go ahead and get it on another server.
>Cinemaphile didn't exist back then
You mean the late 90s like OP says? I was on a forum before I came to Cinemaphile and it was no different to early Cinemaphile because it had none of the people I listed. You probably thought you were really intelligent for replying just to write that garbage. Someone reply to this post or my original post after I hide the thread and continue having the vast majority of the board filtered.
>Cinemaphile didn't exist back then, the most chaotic place was probably usenet
can confirm. i've been a sucker for unmoderated communication ever since
There wasn't cuck israeli social justice warrior propaganda back then you c**t
>The internet is the same as it ever was, you idiot. What changed was the people using the internet.
That's like saying, "the world didn't change from the 1950s to now, WE changed."
>The internet is the same as it ever was, you idiot. What changed was the people using the internet.
Pedantic autist, that's obviously what he fricking meant
>Detroit is the same it ever was. The only thing that changed is the people in it.
Think about it for a minute.
>What changed was the internet started using people.
ftfy
I wouldn’t want to confuse and frighten you, but the Internet of today is so profoundly different on a structural level than the early 2000s that we can only conclude you, in fact, are the idiot
>Earth is the same as it ever was, you idiot. What changed was the people inhabiting the Earth.
>The air hasn’t changed you idiot, what has changed is the people breathing the air.
Are you an oldgay, or just speaking for us?
The problem isn't "trannies" or "women", it's newbies and Cinemaphiles ever increasing userbase.
50% of users joined in 2016ish. That means 50% of users don't know what Cinemaphile used to be like or why it was good. All they can do is emulate what they think Cinemaphile is supposed to be like (at BEST).
You know what a massive issue now is? The absolute obsession with trannies. Constant all the time shitposts about trannies. Not even shitposts, because shitposts used to at least be funny or neutral, garbage posts filling up the site. Now Cinemaphile is a place for /misc/tards to vent because they don't have anywhere else to go.
There are too many newbies, there's no way to gatekeep them. When half the users are newbies who don't even think they're newbies because they joined in 2016 there's nothing you can do. Us vs them moron newbies won and it's eternal summer now. None of them could possibly be anything other that incredibly short sighted and so would never change how they post here even if it would make the site better. I can't even imagine they enjoy it or gain anything from the constant arguments over trannies or leftists or trumptards. They just want to argue about meaningless things they pull in as a part of their identity. They're also wildly contrarian. Cinemaphile used to be counter culture, but now it's meaningless contrarianism. If people like or believe a thing that means it must be bad. No other reasoning. A lot of posters are now insisting that things Cinemaphile has always liked or believed are wrong. I don't know if it's because there are so many new posters that the entire culture of who browses the site has changed or if they just want to be counter counter-culture because it's cool to hate things other people like.
>it's eternal summer now
Ancient-gay detected. God I wish we could go back.
I've been here since 2007 my dude
2005 here, broke my teeth on /b/ when it was still good
>meaningless contrarianism
It's a really common tactic to call anyone who disagrees with the mainstream narrative a contrarian. Like, if you think pride month is a bit excessive, of if you think it's kind of sinister that companies like Raytheon will incorporate rainbow flags into their social media profiles, then you're just an edgy contrarian.
You morons were confined in obscure forums the layman never heard about. My memories of the late 90s Internet was that place when you get Flash games and those garish self made websites. I'll tell you, even Google Images wasn't parasites with nazis imagery and porn as it is now. I'm not saying they weren't any but you had to actively seek out this stuff
Hell, as a little anecdote (and I shit you not it's true) I remember being a horny shit and searching Sonic porn for the lol in 2004,even adding the word "naked",porn and xxx, Google Images was barely finding 3 or 4 images
those self made angelfire and geocities sites were pure fricking soul
I wrote all my own angelfire sites in notepad. Those were the days
whenever I find one of those old sites that's still online it's like finding an ancient artifact
I'm using the internet since the late 90s. I bet you found some forums; those having nothing to do with Cinemaphile; "Cinemaphile" back then could be found to a limited form on usenet because that was more chaotic and more trollish (it probably invented the very concept of "trolling" and the usage of the word too).
You could still find that now if you find a more niche group; maybe a discord; maybe a (non-popular) subreddit (and other such things Cinemaphile hates).
I miss ytmmd and stickdeath but now the internet is full of Black folk =[
pathetic little /misc/ack, the internet in the late 90s didn't have your kind, because most of its users weren't brainlet and hence not simpleton nazis either.
Reality is the exact opposite of what you're saying. The internet was vastly superior when there was a barrier to entry. Getting online was an IQ test.
We need to make computers racist again
you're stupid, your brainlet little kind of nazis were contained in niche boards like stormfront and usually not even there; at best you would find them in "home pages"(most babies here don't even understand what that is); nobody visited those.
most internet users up to ~2005 were computer nerds (professionals and hobbyist at it); that implies some level of education and intelligence; that excludes your pathetic little kind of neonazis in most cases.
>everything I don't like is a nazi
you're stupid, I'm replying to posts which are explicitly schizo-tier nazi.
you can still find containment forums for it (e.g. go to stormfront and leave us alone).
No it's very obvious that you're a political shill that is completely out of place in board culture and trying to pretend that you're a regular user. Your gaslighting is simplistic and sloppy and your terrible attempts at is are making your attempted social engineering have the opposite effects.
After talking to you I'm even more convinced that racism is a true understanding of reality based on how readily you lie.
>intelligent people aren't racist
The opposite actually. That's not to say there is not incredibly dumb racist people. One just follows their instincts and the other understands the deep genetic differences that define the realities of race and species. You are in the middle, a midwit if you will.
there was plenty of fringe far left and far right shit on the internet back in the early 2000s
This literal Black person never visited the IMDb boards clearly
the imdb boards were kino
If it's any consolation, people 30 years from now will react the same way about the posts we're making today.
no they won't, the internet is more useful today even for intelligent people
it's just that brainlets in this thread aren't capable of filtering the inane content.
Would you consider this thread inane?
not entirely, the closest in the 90s were the newsgroups/usenet. a bunch of trolls on semi-anonymous personas taunting each other.
play hypnospace outlaw kino game
Everyone is too mean to each other
it's not right
Everyone is mean because life is shittier now so everyone is angrier
Forums can still be nice.. for the few that exist. I lurked Cinemaphile a little in the early days. It wasn't full of stormers, but it still had a rep for shitposting. Don't let anyone tell you it was just some nice place for weebs.
back when every interest or subject had its own forums with their own communities was comfy as frick
Just report off topic and /misc/ or bait threads. Don't reply to those threads no matter how tempting it is. This place has really good discussions but even in a good thread you'll get shitters.
>tfw not a telegram operator from the late 1800s chatting exclusively with other telegram operators
too many non-whites on the net has dramatically lowered discourse
Why's everyone such a moralgay nowadays? On /b/ back in 2007 and such everyone was jerking off to traps and e-girls and having fun talking about it. Now everyone loves expressing moral outrage and acting high-and-mighty. Is that just because the normies brought their morality with them?
>On /b/ back in 2007 and such everyone was jerking off to traps
If you really believe this then you got meme'd on hard. The whole "traps are fine" was a meme just like the 'how to make crystals' image or the newer THICC posting.
I wonder how many brainlets got manipulated into becoming degenerates by shitposters lmao
I don't think so. Lots of people were into e-girls, shotas, traps, everything really except for furries which were shunned. You had lots of crossdressing shota doujinshi being dumped all the time. People were way more chill and didn't have this moralistic stick in their asses about sexuality back then.
Ok so you got meme'd on it is.
Hey anon give this picture a try. You are going to shit bricks bro, trust me.
>2010
newbie
I've been here unironically since its inception though. I just grabbed a random picture of some moron getting meme'd on. It's not like you've been here before 2016 anyways, tourist.
then you're moronic
That has nothing to do with anything.
I hope you didn't think fapping to traps was "fine" because a bunch of literally whos in an imageboard convinced you because that would be a pretty sad reality check.
Ok troony
Cinemaphile is like, mainstream now. Only anime geeks and social outcasts used Cinemaphile back then. There's literally like 30 times more traffic now on this website.
Moot was shit at marketing
>Why's everyone such a moralgay nowadays?
twitter and half the internet being geared to hateclick ad revenue
have a nice day homosexual scum
Blame the influx of christgays and election tourists in 2016
> WAAA I cant talk about sexualizing minors thou drawings WAAA.
All those people from 2007 aren't around anymore because they probably committed a sex crime against a minor.
Now kys
when people say shit like this, I think back to when the dark souls pc port was announced and how butthurt people were their sekret club was being '''affected'''
Same kind of thinking really.
the internet was unironically much better in the 90s and early 2000s
sure whatever, personally I think it was better that people spent less time online in general.
loading stick death videos on dialup am i right
Anyone could have faked that picture. Gonna need source for every single reference in order to check them myself.
All I could find. You'll have to take it from here.
Thank? I guess?
It's because you'll get posters posting unfunny and tedious and moralistic posts and dulling the level of discourse. To the point where people capable of interesting conversations leave and it just becomes people saying the same boring shit over and over again.
I don't even watch many movies or shows, I just come to Cinemaphile because there are sometimes interesting posters and threads. But I find myself sort of desperately searching for a nice board without so many normalgays nowadays.
I miss AOL tbh the chatrooms in 95-98 were kino
I was trolling in msn chatrooms back in 2001
I used to troll the mtv chat rooms

You sound very angry. Lack of sexual intercourse perhaps?

>Lack of sexual intercourse perhaps?
And stop gazing at my orb? nah
That picture is dope, and it makes me want to be a wizard.
Infinity chan was honestly great vibes while it still existed.
>don't open shit threads
>don't use shit boards
>use alt social media (no not gab)
>use alt chans (no not cp honeypots)
Could be better but life's what you make it, no one's forcing you to go here
It had its charms being gate kept to almost exclusively adults that could first adopter new tech, with high literacy. Now we have the charms of mass democracy and smart phones. and 'curation' algos and jannies On the other hand it's much easier to get vetted recommendations and obscure tips for kino and everything else. Pirating too.
one thing I realized is that most people are conditioned NOT to figure out the ~~*primary cause*~~ for all the terrible things in this world
it's like their brain stops when it begins to head towards it
i got bored of thinking the israelites are behind everything around 2017 actually
Eventually you realize there's no "final answer" it's just your brain giving itself dopamine by connecting dots in a way that makes sense to it.
I've believed something very strongly, and then been disillusioned many times in my life. After so many, you realize that that really there's no answer and each model of the world you can construct can easily (or not so easily) give way to another. It's all provisional.
Specific answers for specific scenarios. And complete certainty is generally an indicator of Dunning Kruger.
>he thought Cinemaphile came ever close to being a good representation of the internet at it's peak
ishygddt
smart phones
When I think about the old internet I think about this person I used to chat with over napster. It was just normal conversation for ages then they went psycho one day out of the blue. I think they were actually trying to catfish me and then after a while got mad that I just casually chatted and wasn't taking their bait or something.
>I think they were actually trying to catfish me
One time a 13 y/o me was in a group of chatrooms called coolchat in the 50+ room and ran into the person who did the electrical work in the house I was living in. The only time I told someone online who I was irl.
yeah internet was god tier back in the day
now its normies and zoomers. fricking doing stupid tiktok dances and so many awful digital shows now
phones ruined everything. everything. men who use social media should be shot and the 19th amendment repealed.
