Let me preface this by saying that I’ve been a quint-getter since they first appeared on 4chan. I remember refreshing /b/ all afternoon with the hope that someone get quints. I was a quinter back when quads were the only one and I still bump every quint thread I see because of the fond rush of nostalgia it brings me. Nowadays, there are many thousand on /b/ and other meme boards. I was a quinter back before /r/4chan was created (the first quint website) and I had to get them by pure coincidence. Speaking of quint websites, I was one of the first submitters to /s4s/ and still have one of the top accounts there despite having migrated to reddit nearly 2 years ago. It was on /b/ where I cut my teeth getting quints, way before I had a reddit account and way before /r/4chan was created in early 2008. Back before I could get any sort of points or even username recognition, I was getting quints as a clever and easily digestible way to reflect on society, relate some story to my audience, or just be funny. Do you remember dubs gets? No? I do. You probably don’t remember trips, quads, or hexes either. I remember all of them. I bet you have never even got dubs, much less quints So please, respect my judgement regarding the direction of the subreddit and the integrity of posts I have held dear to my heart for nearly 7 years but you have no strong feelings for.
Thanks.
