Remember the good one days? Back in 2011, when we stayed up till 2am laughing at r/F7U12, Caturday Memes, and 60s Spider-Man.
Back when the memes were original and funny:
2011? Get off my lawn whippersnapper! I was lurking chan sites in 07 when I should have been underageb& and having a remotely decent time in highschool.
No one cries for EFG. His name has been long forgotten.
Seriously, I'm pretty certain EFG was the progenitor to f7u12, and 4chan was pissed that reddit kept stealing their memes and beating them until nothing but a horse shaped hole in the ground remained as reddit kept growing. Pretty sure I witnessed the first advice animal threads too. That little pup with the rainbow background was spammed to hell and back for around a month before it made its way to reddit.

Except I was like 8, or 10, not a college student.
I am slightly older than you. lol
It was. I didn’t use 4chan because of its reputation, which is bad now, but it was also bad then too
