Decades before they came up with the term troll, that before IBM platform computers could even handle colors or animations.. I was doing 16 million color high resolution 3D animations on my Commodore amigo, complete with the actual construction of the 3D models, Point by point by polygon by polygon, extruding and warping and mashing objects from scratch, then applying the attributes, whether they were reflection Maps or bump Maps or picture maps or whatever the fuck maps, not to mention it said in the refraction and reflection and then there was the ambient attributes like fog and depth of field and Camera focal length and then I would create the actual a

spline paths (aka boolean paths) that controlled the travel of the cameras and lighting during the timeline sequence, and I would make my own high resolution 3D animation videos right there on my old dinosaur Commodore Amiga, as well as creating my own secret digital musical compositions and many other creative projects...

I had a friend named Stewart who was so smart that he very well may not have been completely human.. there was definitely something very weird about Stewart.. he was so smart that when he spoke his eyes would roll in the back of his head and his body would shake like he was having convulsions, but he explained that was simply him trying to force himself to stay on only three or less simultaneous conversations at any given time...

The shaking was his way of reminding himself to stay focused while the eyes rolling in the back of his head was one of the creepiest things you've ever seen, until he began explaining quantum physics in magnificent detail, yet in a descriptive Style that could be understood by the average Layman...

Stuart worked for a government defense contractor located in Huntsville Alabama, and although he wasn't allowed to discuss specifics, he told my wife and I that he worked in a "skyscraper that was very completely underneath the ground... 15 stories of skyscraper that remains unseen from above the ground...

My girlfriend Jill at the time.. she was a really good artist, and I wasn't half bad myself... she helped me run my graphic design and exterior mural business in atlanta, but one day Stewart came over to our apartment and told me he had something special...

He was hooking up some kind of new exciting thing to my Commodore Amiga, and I sat and listened to him explain it :

He told me their Community was mainly mathematicians and scientists and researchers and government defense contractors, and they were all encouraging each other to bring as many artists musicians and writers on to this new crazy Secret darknet thing

When he got it running he told me it was going to be similar to those old fashioned party lines they used to have on telephones where tons of people would all be on the same phone call...

There was BBS bulletin board style and mIRC and sure as hell.. everybody in there was a geeky nerd dork dweeb.. real nerdy stuff

Imagine a bunch of super dork nerds throwing a party, a social event, where they might get to meet girls in have a good time

Just one problem. Day didn't know how to talk to girls, and their idea of fun was really weird. Some of the most uncomfortable awkward weird conversations.. not exactly the genius content I would have expected

If these guys were so smart, why were they unable to ever learn how to talk to girls? How stupid do you have to be to never figure out how to behave around girls?

But these Einstein kids would pepper there weird attempts at fluent conversation every few minutes by asking the same question

"ANY PUSSY?"

" any girl with a pussy? "

" can I please see a pussy?"

It was boring as fuck. And these geniuses did not seem particularly intelligent to me, so after a little while I stopped even trying to converse with them

My older brother was the funniest human being I've ever seen in my life, because he had a brilliant lightning fast sense of humor, where he could find ironic and sarcastic perspectives on everyday things without becoming too cynical or cruel..

My brother was also great at the slow setup, engaging people in conversation, and they were completely oblivious that the entire time he was feeding them content that was about to come back a second time around as a punchline or an ironic disappointment

And that's kind of what I did when I decided I was going to become disruptive

I find it interesting how OP thought he was going to seem like a Wise Old sage, an old timer, and teach you young whippersnappers about mIRC

And yes I saw the part where he explained what Internet relay chat is, as if that's a mystery

The thing that I find most interesting is OP thinking any of those descriptions or terminologies has any value

You silly kids will always continue trying to come up with a new cheesy catchy trendy name to describe old fossils, in an attempt to make it appear as if your generation is doing it better

So I don't care if you insist you are part of image board culture, referring to this website as an image board..

You can try polishing a turd all you'd like, but you're not fooling anybody

THIS IS A CHATROOM......

The term "imageboard" means nothing and it's embarrassing...

It's pretentious, and it proves you don't understand the history of this entire concept.. from relay chat to flash animation chat sites or bulletin board Style or and mobile platforms and the good old-fashioned Mega International Mega chat monster sites, I was there throughout the entire thing, every step of the way. AndTHEY ARE ALL CHATROOMS

All of it, even read it everything. Even Facebook. Your fancy labels don't impress me. I don't give a fuck what you want to be called, because that's just a false fashion statement on your part..

you are not part of "image board culture", because there's no such thing as imageboards...

you are an intentional voluntary victim of CHATROOM CULTURE

There's absolutely no difference between a chat room and an image board or Facebook for that fucking matter.. at its bare essence, it's a virtual quadrant, where human beings can gather in facsimile form, and upload photos and videos and engage in written conversation with each other....

You get offended by the term chat room because you have convinced yourself that you are part of a superior upper echelon, the "futuristic masters of tomorrow"..... but you cannot tell me one single difference between a chat room and your imaginary image for you

AGAIN: is not a board.. it's not a tower.. it's not a condominium I prefer to think of it as a rave warehouse, but the term BOARD is just the leftover vestiges of the old darknet BBS bulletin board Style label...

It's nothing more than one person's attempt at describing a place where one might leave notes for other people.. that one douchebags analogy was a bulletin board

So what? Who cares? Another person's analogy might be a bathroom stall, where people write graffiti notes on the walls for other people to read.. that would also be a very accurate analogy, but you don't call 4chan a ' bathroom stall' or a porta potty.. you guys are partial to the creepy term image board

I find it very telling when adult males can be triggered so easily over something as insignificant asyou being too stupid to realize this is a chat room, and there's no such thing as an image board

this is CHAT...

We are not posting memos

We are in here to chat.. to talk.. to communicate through written word.. not upload images

You could call it a room instead of a board, and that would be even more accurate.. that describes a an open space with room for people to come stand in the same area.. that's much more descriptive than that God damn bulletin board on a God damn wall

In fact you could call it anIMAGE ROOMinstead of an image board and it would make more sense

But there's just one problem.. you guys post more than you upload images people are here to talk, not to upload pictures.. that's just a leftover artifact from the past, and there's no reason to even mention images becauseCHATROOMS ALSO ALLOWED YOU TO UPLOAD IMAGES

So.. since conversation is more the goal than uploading images, == wouldn't it make more sense to call this IMAGE ROOM something more accurate? Like maybe CHAT ?...

A CHATROOM....

It's so perfect how this worked out.. you cringe every time you hear this place called a chat room, and now you finally realizeit IS a chatroom after all !!

You will never think of it the same way after tonight. Because now you realize you are part of chat room culture

Most of you losers barely ever upload any images at all

And as even further proof of your lack of dedication to images in your chat rooms :

NONE OF YOU CREATE ORIGINAL ART

You don't even invest 30 seconds into throwing together a simple graphic concept to illustrate your point.. you have no passion or respect for the IMAGE, in this chat roomz,because you are here to chat with other people, not to present interesting new visual graphics and images

You have so little interest in the image side of things, that all of you resort to the most insipid chat room behavior of all :

== all of you keep uploading the exact same unoriginal worn out thrift store hand me down memes, the exact same boring stupid names everybody else uses, and then another douchebag downloads the meme, and REUPLOADS IT AGAIN.... as if he's contributing something.. as if he is living up to the standard of Excellence that separates image boards from chat rooms...

None of you has anything original on your hard drive.. it's nothing but other people's horrible frog pics and wojak faces.. nothing original whatsoever. You are all repeating the same four or five jokes to each other over and over and over and over, year after year after year.. the exact same content..

You don't have to be a good artist. That's not the point.. it's about effort, not about quality

And none of you have ever lifted a finger or exerted any effort into creating your own unique image, instead of uploading everybody else's same exact they pay the frog picture
