Yay 1k. Feels like we hit it kinda slow though.
Yay! I can play a note!
I is the excite!
Also, page 1000!
Originating on Japanese imageboard 2channel, the '>' sign was used for quotations. When '>' preceeded a line, it was coloured in light green. Later carried over to 4chan and by extension all other futaba-imageboards, it was still used for highlighting text or quoting other users. Also notoriously used to show that you were an experienced user (>newfags can't green text).
Lately (late '09-early '10), a phenomenon originating from 4chan board /v/ (video games) spread - implying. It is used to sarcastically respond to another user who posted a false or biased statement. Example:
Poster #1: Pinkie Pie is the best pony!
Poster #2: >implying she is
Another fenomenon called "greentext stories" originated on the 4chan /r9k/ board, where people would post stories in the format you just posted. Most of the time, these stories would have a common theme (something like "AWKWARD GREENTEXT STORIES, GO!" in the OP).
Omg page 1000 i shall post upon it!
edit: hah, this must be my first time I actually managed to post on some sort of landmark. I usually only notice the new threads by page 300ish. :P
and so I'm not spamming, pony contribution, my favorite clip of background music from this guy's channel:
I like when it kind of glitches when you post something, and it looks like there's 30 or so posts on one page. Then, when you refresh, it turns out your post is on the NEXT page.
It's a lot worse on the other forum I visit. They quote like madmen, and each page can be five, six, times longer than ours. But, they hide most of their image dumps in spoiler tags.
