>>8505 If I recall the OP read like it was the, I guess 'socialising' thread, which is why I started there rather than looking any more deeply into whatit was.
>know about this It's mostly an assumption based on random crap I've read over the years. Moot hated the fandom, and when the threads were kicked off of /b/ onto /mlp/ one of the core changes was names being disallowed. I believe that it was done as a result of knowing that ifpeople are able to identify among each other they're much more likely to unify and do things. I feel like the removal of names was an attempt at control and dissuasion from the group acting together, as well as from growing further.
I've been on 4chan since about a few months after its creation. However, I don't really accuse others of oldfag or newfag or whatever.
>none of us did yeah, can't say that I saw where I'd end up 10 years ago either.
>part in anything I donated for Verity and a couple other things too, but no, I don't spend time on /b/ anymore, nor /mlp/, I stick around on the thread on /trash/. I can link it if you care to see it?
