Very, very few users from /intl/ hang around here anymore. By the time /ints/ came around, there were barely any of us left.
In the great scheme of things, /int*/ was a very brief existence. We lasted roughly a year. And no one other than us will ever really know what we were. Only those who were a part of it actually know the truth, and it's not something that can be explained easily.
But that's actually a good thing. A lot of it was based on how we were perceived. Here are some of the theories about who we were:
- A cadre of Illuminati Jews hell-bent on destroying this site and protecting their interests from the menace that is /pol/
- A coalition of tumblr and Reddit users subtly manipulating public opinion toward the left-wing and SJW policies
- Offshoots from Wizardchan seeking revenge against breddit for the evil he did to their site
- Offshoots from 4chan trying to stamp out the competition and sully breddit's name
- An IRC clique of avatarfags, animefags, namefags, and general circlejerkers intending to shitpost as much as humanly possible
Were any of those correct? None? Was it a mix of interests? Or did the community took itself too seriously? Or not seriously enough?
That's a big part of what composed the /int*/ experience. Watching all of you scurrying about trying to piece together clues for our identity, projecting your demons onto us, demanding breddit to shut us down, organizing raids and spam attacks, and celebrating when the menace seemed to be kept at bay by your valiant efforts, all that shit. It was a fucking blast. And most of the time we barely had to do anything. All that it took was a single thread cogitating the possibility of an initiative against a possible subcommunity, and you'd all go up in flames in various ways.
So it's not like we don't know what /int*/ was about. We do. Every /int*/ user does. But the point of view that matters isn't ours, but yours. Maybe there was something, maybe there was nothing. It doesn't matter. It never mattered, not for us. All we did, we did for you.
Were we not the best enemies you could ever wish for?
