 i wasn't here for '06, but from doing my DUE DILIGENCE as a young poaster: there were a lot more law and law school threads, niggerthreading was still very experimental and bizarre, and generally threads were less likely to get nearly as many poasts as some do now. some classic threads were 30-something poasts. there are some old timers still here, but the cast of characters were different, and a lot of people seem to have changed. petro is probably my all-time favorite poaster, even though we only overlapped for maybe a few years, but i doubt we'll see the likes of him again. less despair too. there was more optimism, hence why someone like HAHAURFUCKT was edgy. that wouldn't be edgy at all now. we all know we're fucked.
 '12 the economy had really started to come back. hiring freezes were over, and poasters tended to be happier. MFH v. chicago was still a pressing concern, and there were fun, weird schticks like "hey bros it's me again" that made most of us laugh our asses off after a while. there were still earnest poasters like even mountain dood, who ended up being a little nuts. we could talk about anything, yet a lot of us chose to talk to midnight cowboy about our breakfast every morning. it was an optimistic time after a dark one.
  we (broadly, precis requires generalizations) learned that politics are bullshit in 2014, and grew into increasing cynicism. enthusiasm for trump was high for most of his first term, but nothing happened. by '20, a deep cynicism set in. many had become much more internet and even more ironic too in some ways. most youthful glimmers of hope were so long gone that i'm guessing many can't even remember them. law is bullshit, investing is bullshit, any form of governmental intervention is bullshit, medicine is bullshit, and god help you if you plan to buy real estate ITE2. we're all older, too, which both increases to the detachment and the cynicism, i think.
  that's my summary at least. someone can probably correct me on the earlier years or poke fun at how beloved the WHOOSH refrigerator thread was.

 180
 
  I think the 4 eras are 
  
  1. PR-2008, the Poetic Dreamer/bel/JBD years (this Age ended with the Lolsuit)
  
  2. ITE 2008-2014
  
  3. TRUUUUMP!/Halford 2015-2020
  
  4. 2020- Libpocalypse/Age of Floyd/Covid/Lockdowns*
  
  To be clear, Whokebe/Jinx peaked in the 1st era.
  
  I think most active poasters today came on during ITE and never left imo.

 I think I'd probably do like
 
  Pre-2008: PR / Mythical Times
  2008 - 2011: ITE
  2012 - 2015: Post-ITE
  2016-2020: TRUMP
  2021-Present: Your Title
