Le s4s Timeline

A general timeline of [s4s].

2013

first post on [s4s]

March 31 - The board officially opens at approximately 10:14 p.m. EDT with the announcement "Unlike the other new boards, this is being added on a permanent basis. If it doesn't pan out or goes unused, you should probably check your privilege". The first post is a picture of Scooby, accompanied by the text "what". Shortly after being opened, the joke kicks in, with the CSS changed to mime Reddit's layout, with a modified version of SRS's header and mock upvotes/downvotes. Two threads are stickied - the 5555 GET and a thread that contained a form to check your privilege. The board is filled with users from various boards (mainly /b/, /a/, and /pol/), and several important parts of [s4s] develop on the first day - dubs, lel, and privilege.

April 1 - A thread praising feminism with a picture of le nervous frog is stickied. Shortly after, 2 other threads were stickied - the 5555 GET and a thread that contained a form to check your privilege.

April 3 - The board theme is changed back to Yotsuba, and the name is changed to /s4s/ - Shitposters 4n Steroids. It is not on the main page however, and many complain about the change.
