>yes but what was it like then?
Personal recollections: Anons reminded each other frequently not to reply to shills. Anons were rather strict about notables and a notable suggestion had to be seconded. Anons mutually reinforced the research mission of the board. Much of these have slipped without Q or new Q material to dig on.
You've seen the memes of 'this place when Q hasn't posted' vs 'after a new Q post'. Those memes were quite perceptive.
There was and will always be bullshit and fantasy. Q taught us a lot about the evil, satanic types, for example, but never mentioned adrenochrome, tunnels under cities (just Epstein Island), DUMBs (other than a data center), for example, but those ideas still proliferated here. There were slides.
Breads would fly by. Several breads per hour at times. It got exciting at times. I recall being astonished at the 17 second period of the Mayotte Island anomaly and then receiving Q's explanation on 12/2.
Of course there was datefagging, poor numerological decodes, and busted predictions. There were also outsiders and Twitter users milking 'decodes' and predictions.
