    I was very into /b/ from 2003-2009. It was extremely impactful in my formative years.

    I’m glad I left when I did.

      '09 was the year the right-wing postbots took over. It was a good time to leave. It’s also the year after Paul Manafort received millions of dollars from a Russian oligarch to promote Russian interests in the West, and the same year the Tea Party was formed.

      Paul Manafort was also on Trump’s top campaign staff in 2016.
