When was that "golden age" of 4chan? I remember back when I was a teenager (like 2009 I think) the boys in my class sept going on there, mostly for stupid pictures. I remember going there naively and noping right out of some thread with disformed penises. But I still remember them discussing how there were too many n00bs on 4chan at the moment. Probably trying to up their internet credibility amongst themselves but still, when was that time when 4chan was awesome?

2009 was waaaaaaaaaaaay past its prime.

As with most internet shock forums, the "golden age" was the six months between SomethingAwful finding it entertaining and SomethingAwful growing bored and wandering off to raid something else. Think of /b/ as SRS and you aren't far off.
