4chan

phenomenon

I only recently came across this forum after it was mentioned here on boards (I know, I must have been living under a rock for the past 5 years :rolleyes: or maybe I don't scour the internet searching for hentai)

Anyway, I've come to realise that 4chan is a force to be reckoned with. After all, it has spawned the infamous "lolcats" and charming characters like Pedobear that are now ubiquitous across the web. At first I admired the freedom allowed on the forum, but every thread decends into a trading of insults and nothing can ever be discussed seriously, which admittedly provides an entertaing read!

My fave forum is the travel one where every second poster is some American teenage nerd whinging about the USA and how he wants to move to Japan because Asian chics are hot :pac: I also noticed that the posters refer to themselves as "Britfag" or "Dutchfag" depending on their nationality. Whats that about?
Anyone out there want to educate me more on 4chan or want to share their thoughts on it?

It's retarded and they jack off to drawings of kids having sex. Simple as that.

Also try searching for /b/day.

It's alright, the oddtimes there's some genuinely funny threads but it's mainly full of kids. As I said before I really just use it for some good rapidsh*t.

SoWatchaWant

I've heard the name but I've never been on it. I'll have a look and let you know.

From what Terry said, it might be good. (sarcasm)

I wouldn't say anything bad about 4chan if you value boards.

Especially if you've ever put your pic up anywhere on the site!

Lolz that link pretty much sums up the site. Maybe we should add that 4chan is NSFW!!!

Sorry about that, I've added an NSFW beside the link.

I just clicked on the damn link there. Scroll down and you get boobs. B******s I'm in work!

Nick_oliveri

Damn society, it strikes me as odd that if i go down the street naked i get arrested. Cant view boobs in work etc. But if they were man nipples...

Stay away, and don't create threads about it.

i'v seen them screw up alot of forums in my time.
if ya like it check out the 4chan archive, its a seperate site which has the best bits.

4chan is like the buttplug of the internet in that it holds all the **** inside the rectums so it doesn't spray out all over. When 4chan goes down, it's like the internet has explosive diarrhea.

Sums it up right there. Been to the site a few times, don't understand it and I simply don't like it. Definately nsfw.

*EDIT*

Am I right in saying that they are linked to hacking? Or something like that???

Wasn't it 4chan's Anonymous that were having the big tiff with Scientology?

Actually they didn't create lolcats, and I'm not sure about Pedobear actually originated from there either

I have spent quite a lot of time lurking 4chan, as someone mentioned above, its full of kids but once in a blue moon you find an epic thread. /r/ is quite helpful (*cough* especially for porn star identification *cough*)

edit: Oh and... pic related

Did you miss this bit Piggy: "I have spent quite a lot of time lurking 4chan". How exactly would your average 4chan user catch AIDS?

Because it makes them so retarded that they'll go out and have sex with monkeys

Boxxy rules.

I used to browse it but got tired of the amount of utter crap that's posted on it now. Sure the occasional funny meme is spawned there, but it's not worth putting up with 99% ****e for 1% goodness. Besides any good memes that start there end up all over the net anyway.

Tar.Aldarion

They do have some funny things, someody call for /b/lackup?

brosps

4chan is by far the most active internet forum iv ever been to, definatly with the most members yet for some reason they theink they are unique. unfunny website with annoying members

Ass

4chan sucks. The memes it has produced were funny about 2 or 3 years before they caught on and became over used and drawn out by the entire internet. I'ts like the chuck norris jokes.

Fuck 4chan.

Actually, lolcats (in their current form) did first appear there....then icanhascheezburger was set up.

phenomenon

It seems to be very clique-ish. They should publish their own dictionary to help the rest of us understand all their slang. Deliberately mis-spelling words seems to be cumpulsory. God forbid your're branded a "n00bfag" :rolleyes:

Holsten

It sucks cause people post threads like this which lead to an influx of more stupid posts, and endless copypasta.

Please don't tell me anyone ever found either that jaysusin Chuck Norris shoite, or so-called "lolcats" funny?

I know that, but they appeared elsewhere before 4chan but 4chan is what made it popular.

projectmayhem

Forget lolcats, didn't duck rolling/rick rolling come from 4chan too?

4chan ftw. Without it, lollocaust would be lost.

James Forde

have to say, some pretty messed up stuff on the .gif page

Terry

There's a good flash slots game on the flash page.

Someone linked to it in the cool vids... forum, but I deleted the thread because of the hotlink.

Same. It's safe to say it's one of the few internet sites I don't "get" and am happy not to.

Donald-Duck wrote: »

It's really hard to tell where memes originate. A lot of credit is given to 4chan, somethingawful and...that other place I can't remember the name of...but a lot of the time I'd say it's nothing to do with any of them.

Exit

I've been to it two or three times, and was disgusted by it everytime. It's a horrible website where the sicko dregs of the internet post pictures of the nastiest/disturbing stuff you can find and make jokes out of it.

So, no, I don't like it.

rickrolling came from duckrolling which originated from neogaf(<3 the GAF)
duckroll is an admin on there. neogaf is (primarily) a video gaming forum, although their off topic forum is fantastic as well, its pretty much the complete opposite of 4chan in many regards

as for most meme's(pronounced meems) they come from random places and then get run into the ground on 4chan/neogaf/random other sites. until they become accepted norms on the internet

I've been been on neogaf so tried to register an account but they have a fecking stupid restrictions
