    Newfag

    A newcomer to 4chan. Hated by Anons everywhere. Usually this person consists of failure and tries too hard to fit in.

    Thanks for the information, I did not know that was a thing!

      There’s also the counterpart, the “Oldfag”.

      Has been around far too long, hates everyone including himself, and, in his opinion, the only one with the right opinion.

      May or may not know how to “Triforce”, but will claim they do. Will Sage a thread, then threaten to kill someone for Saging theirs.

      … I hate myself for remembering some of this shit.

          It was my haunt, as an edgy teen. Even took part in the Habbo raids, shutting down pools due to AIDs.

          I think I’m just below Fossil status, I have vague memories of dialing into some late BBS’, stronger memories of AOL chatrooms, and remember the “glory” days of the *Chans, including the great Scientology Pizza Attack and Fax Bomb.

            I’m ultra old. I tell my kids about BBS’s and how you’d have to phone the internet and sometimes it’d be busy and you’d have to call back.
