I'd like to know how everyone ended up here on Zig Forums. I'll go first

It may seem a little mundane how I got here, but this place means a lot to me. So I want to hear how the rest of you came to this place.

I accidentally clicked on this place instead of /monster/ one day and stuck around because of the funny historical memes only to become subverted by the board and turned into a good Christian boi.

I don't remember exactly. I was a long time /lit/ poster on 4chan, at least as far back as 2010. Somehow, I ended up on Zig Forums's Zig Forums, a few years ago, where I got "redpilled" on a lot of things, but generally found them to be to hysterical and irrational. Due to an interest in religion in general I must have decided to check out the Zig Forums board. I've been posting here on/off ever since. Now I'm attending an Orthodox Church and hope to convert.

Thats probably half the board lol


Hope it works out for you man.

I used to enjoy polandnall memes in leddit back in 2013/14. From there, I went to /int/, where I used to shitpost about national stereotypes. After getting banned for discussing the US election, I moved to halfchan Zig Forums, where I got increasingly more right wing.

I've always been a lukewarm Catholic, but the threads about Catholicism in 4/pol/ rekindled my interest about religion. Initially it was more of a "muh tradition, muh history" kind of interest, but then I got increasingly interested in religion itself. I started attending Mass in January 2018 and wanted a place to discuss Christianity. Christian threads in other boards are always full of larpagans and trolls, so I searched for a specifically Christian board. That's how I found this place.

I just saw it while scrolling the front page list of boards. I had a panic attack soon later about life and I come here for advice. I'm currently evaluating what I'm doing with my life and it's annoying because the more I evaluate, the more people in my personal life say I'm becoming paranoid and overly religious. I don't Even here, people argue about the differences all the time between the sects, and I have no idea what to believe. All I wanted to do was play video games and be an outlier, what with my parents being divorced and myself being mentally challenged.


I'm still interested in monster girls, but only from a design perspective. Not lewding. Pretty certain that isn't sinful. I got a few stories I wanna write about it. Being religious is difficult, what with knowing what's sinning and what isn't.

I used visit 4chan for /fit/. So I came here when I became a Christian.
I became a Christian because of Notes from the Underground by Dostoevsky. I was reading some edgy existentialists from the 20th century because I had an identity crisis in my 20's. When I stumbled unto Dostoevsky, which a normie who misinterpreted it recommend on the Internet, I couldn't pinpoint what was different. By his biography I found out it was Orthodoxy.
Now I have "better" reasons to be Christian like Theology and experience from prayer and fasting.


I don't think it's important how we get to Christianity, but what we do with it. A lot of converts seem to come from Zig Forums and I think we shouldn't treat them with disdain.
No one gets offended if they join the Church by any facet of it: Art, Scripture, History, Philosophy, but the social teaching seems to be taboo. They are cathecumens, so they post dumb shit. But who didn't? I think their proportion will increase as the political landscape becomes even more insane.

Eerily similar to my path. I was saved via a meme on a britpol thread. Then found Zig Forums

I dip in here now and again

My story is pretty typical.

Tbh writing about monstergirls in lewd and later nonlewd contexts was directly responsible for me getting out of my weird fetishes that I might as through high school

Came here the night /v/ and Zig Forums moved. Came to the board when it began and watched it grow, with a few smaller more liberal competitors which fizzled out. Before that, I would regularly post Scripture and argue with the LARPagans of their day on Zig Forums, whom now went to /fringe/, while they promoted Gnosticism, New Age spiritual garbage, literal demon worship, and other /x/-tier faggotry.

I'm glad this board exists, and I'm glad Zig Forums became more Christian over time. I'm a relative newfag from 2012, but when I started posting, it was only fedoras and the above mentioned. Rarely were there any Christians.

4chan Zig Forums.

I started browsing 4chan a few years ago, mostly Zig Forums, /fit/, Zig Forums, /out/, and a little bit of /ck/ and /lit/. Then I found Zig Forums, went to 8/pol/ a few times. Started browsing /fascist/ and /liberty/ while I was figuring out what my political views are. Eventually /liberty/ won out. At this time I was browsing mostly /liberty/, Zig Forums, /fit/, and /out/. Then I found this board, and I've liked it a lot. Nowadays I've been getting away from the chans a lot more, not sure why but I just don't feel interested in it as much. I'd have to force myself to go on Zig Forums now, and I only browse /fit/ or this board on the rare occasions I browse a chan at all. But I did learn a lot from my years on these boards, and it's shaped me into the man I am today. Is this what /makingit/ feels like?

Mine's pretty boring
< google actually searches (back then) on explicit special characters and doesn't just treat them as junk, so searching for "/b/" gets different results than searching for "b". Try that now. plus, back then /b/ wasn't a banned search on google like it is now; like /b/, Goggle, kids, used to actually be good
>hyper-regular 4/b/ browser. What other boards? (Zig Forums wasn't even an idea yet, and when it became on, it was actually just on politics … any politics … was good in the day … like /int/ before the insanity took that over)
>There's actually a board called Zig Forums ?!?!?!?! HILARIOUS!!!!
>((( radiant light of God )))

Sorry, not on my orig' computer to post proper early second century Zig Forums memes

How is being an elderfag boring?
I cry when I think about the days when a search engine was just a search engine too.


Same here except that /monster/ use to be /mlp/.

I thank that Canadian bro that put me in the right tracks but mostly I thank the Lord Jesus for helping me everyday and having mercy upon my poor soul because I don't deserve His forgiveness yet He forgave me.

Now if only I could get over my porn addiction.>>735150

Whichever it was I found this place and just kept coming back. Got me really serious into my faith.

I was an Orthodox Christian before I came here. I came back to Christ through the socio-political turmoils of the recent years, when I realized that everything in this modern world is contrary to man's nature.

Around the time I got saved

When'd you start coming here?
