SadCrab July 3, 2012 Share July 3, 2012 From Tibetan monks to /x/ to Irish/FAQ to tulpa.info What's the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleeb July 3, 2012 Share July 3, 2012 I can sort of piece things together, as far as our community goes, with two quotes: I found tulpas a loooong time ago about a year and a half ago or so on /x/, after that I made my own and started deciding to help people, to be honest I was one of the very few at the time, I probably even got FAQ man interested in it since there was so little of us at the time, so I decided to take it to new level and hoped that someone would fill in the blanks. Which FAQ man did I also knew people would collaborate together in hopes of new info so someone made the IRC to do that and then I just decided to lay back and let FAQ do the work so I just chilled and helped from the sidelines. So basically I'm the oldest oldfag lol But I'm obsolete and the young'ns have taken over. I'm just glad I got it out there. For me, it was /x/, on 4chan. Eventually they wanted to get that cancer out, so they created an IRC room to get tulpa off 4chan. A bit after the IRC channel was made, though, we started posting tulpa on /a/, /jp/, iirc (wonder who made it over from there). Eventually heard there was a lucid dream thread on /mlp/, so I went in there and was all, "This thread needs more tulpæ" so the FAQ was posted, I put in a link to the IRC channel, then when the lucid dream thread died, made a new topic on there about tulpæ -- much rage happened in the IRC, with fear of the incoming bronies, but I still think things turned out better than expected. Once /mlp/ threads toned down (read as: "become unproductive"), we started making threads on /sci/, /pol/, etc. We eventually reached a point where we had to break the community off 4chan and head out into the real world for a change -- it was (and still is) a rough transition. I found this site when I founded this site. I'd be nice to see how tulpae got to /x/ in the first place, but that's like asking how ghosts got to /x/.

Guest Albatross_ July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 I'm actually compiling a timeline, so this thread is coincidental. I'll make a post when it's done (shouldn't be long). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneGuy July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 Cool. I showed up right around the last dozen or so threads on /mlp/. Orange juice helps with concentration headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Albatross_ July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 It's very broad. I plan on making a detailed timeline later on, but that will be a much bigger effort because I plan to include important people, guides, and other stuff, which would involve post-hunting, date-checking (well, more than I already did) and asking /x/ for information (scary). EDIT: Saw some mistakes and re-read Pleeb's post. Added a title. http://i.imgur.com/xbB25.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purlox July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 Nice. Btw, I heard about tulpae around two years ago (not sure if we called them tulpae) on a forum/site about either Psy, Astral travel or something similar. I tried making one, but I don't remember what happened. Hopefully when I finish my tulpa she will be able to help me recall these memories. Also the text at the bottom of the bubble about tulpa.info is cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
