A chat on 4chan

There were no “OG” threads, there were posts referencing the nobody in completely unrelated threads or in non-reoccurring threads and eventually these random threads merged with anomaly general and became a reoccurring /ng/ as you know today. This all happened pretty quickly, I would say within 2 months of nobody posting in unrelated threads really kicking off

I remember this 
Was it some kind of coordinated meme transplant?

Who knows. If there’s literally nothing coordinated about these threads and they are naturally occurring you are on a wild goose chase of speculation, if these threads are almost entirely coordinated save me, as I’m the only person I can know isn’t coordinated and vice versa for yourself, then you won’t know unless someone proves it too you.

Well... whatever 

Anyway here's the first recognizable ng I could find, and the thread author seems to believe they're beginning the tradition. I knew it was only like 28 months ago and not 3 or 4 fucking years like some people keep saying.

Nah dude I’ve got memes saved from 2018 when I was browsing nobody threads. I remember them starting early 2018, I browsed for half a year, took a half year break to browse /biz/ full time because crypto crash, and then came back to the threads in late December.
