    do a barrel roll.

    This is not /b/. nowqhere is /b/, except /b/. and I don't even read 4chan, and yet know that.

    I just read this thread and realised what a protected internet life i lead . . . .

    I agree /b/ has a huge and very impressive cult following. The power of Anonymous is unrivaled. Speaking about 4chan is considered taboo and we're all going to hell for it now. In an example of their power, let's talk about two incidences.....

    Firstly, NASA were naming a spaceship which they are to launch in 2011. On their website they had a poll which /b/ raided and over 1 million people submitted the outside name "Battle Toad", which is an old video game.

    Secondly, there was a famous beauty competition in the U.S and /b/ rigged the votes so that a really obese girl won the whole thing over several attractive wannabee celebrity women, leading to said wannabee celebrity women making YouTube videos to try and stop the madness.

    I think, if there's any forum that resembles 4chan in any way, shape or form, it would probably be the Misc. I used to workout and found this...

    http://forum.bodybuilding.com/forumdisplay.php?f=19

    AH isn't even like that forum. And that forum isn't 4chan. m00t has created a monster.

    I've seen some hilarious antics on 4chan.

    My favorites being;
    The Habbo Hotel Raids
    The Great Em/b/assy Security Leak of 2007
    The Justin Bieber vote where they voted to send him to North Korea
    The Battle Toads threads
    When Anon rickrolled Poland.
    Internet Superheroes (BRB CHurch was my particular favourite)
    When Anon decided to revenge Phoebe Prince and engaged in Ruin Life Tactics on the girls who'd bullied her into committing suicide.
    Shoe On Head
    THe Great Jade Raid
    The time they cracked some guy in Machester's Account and found pictures of him riding his family, they contacted the newspapers and all hell broke loose.

    All the above can be Googled for more info, I'm not going to post links to protect the innocent (most of the sights detailing the above are highly NSFW)

    There are chans much much worse... 4chan is moderated so it's fairly safe.

    4chan does possess great power, but it's lost in all the Asian porn. Not that I don't like Asian porn. Boards could probably wield such power in Ireland, if it tried to.

    True, but we never speak of those ones...

    I'd be considered an oldfag on 4chan and try to stay away from the others, I'm glad in the fact knowing AH could never become /b/, it's continually moderated here for a start, calling m00t a fag doesnt get you banned and at least if you hit F5, most of the same threads will still be alive:p

    That being said, /b/ is a pretty unique place, I would rather have it than not...

    Isn't the 7 full of oldfags?

    7chan's /b/ may not be the original but The Flood took over in 4chan and now it's full of **** (most of the time...e.g - the cancer). That's why the oldfags left and joined the 7 where there aren't endless mindless zombies, teenagers and pornography.

    This is why 7chan and 4chan hate each other.

    This is beginning to sound more and more like the plot behind the Warriors or that Australian kids TV show where all the adults die, and the kids rule. I've been trying to find out the name, but Google is proving no such luck. Anyone know?

    That's been bugging me for ages! And such an obvious name too. Yargh.

    Whats that show about a tribe of kids, who set up a tribe to survive in a world run by tribes of kids?

    I think it was 'The Australian kids Survival power hour', great show.

    No wonder I couldn't find it. I was searching for Australian TV shows - it's made in New Zealand.

    I hated that show, I wish I didn't remember it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 77 ✭✭last name ever. first name greatest


    I like /gif/ and pop into /b/ or /r9k/ occasionally.

    AH like most sites does end up using a lot of lines from the site/4chan.

    Cool story bro etc No different to something like that whole waaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzup bud ad that did the rounds a few years ago.


    :stopsound

    4chan is OK bar the odd very dodgy pic you might pull up. Be careful there as you can be backtraced and the cyberpolice will be a calling....

    5chan is where it is at ;)

    4chan. The home of people who will charged with the posession of kiddie porn in a few years.

    Yeah, because cartoons of Bart ****ing Lisa is normal.

    Bunch of sick bastards.

    The last time I said this, someone reported my post because they disagreed with it,
    4chan is paedo heaven.

    Sic them on me if you want. If you do, then it just shows that you support kiddie fiddlers.

    Oh, sorry. I forgot that kiddie porn is full of lulz.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,228 ✭✭✭epgc3fyqirnbsx


    From this thread I just read up on this whole Boxxy thing, I hadn't actually heard of it until today.

    Thats what I dont like about it, some cute girl throws up a video on youtube of her just being a bit quirky, a lil mental, but just expressing love for someone.
    And it creates a 4chan war where people end up visiting her house....

    F*cked up...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    The Justin Bieber vote where they voted to send him to Poland

    Actually I think it was North Korea.
    They also got M00t elected Times man of the year by fixing the poll, I think it was overturned when they realized it was a fix but they invited him as a guest of honor because.... well I suppose because people were willing to fix the poll for him :)
    Those barrel roll Tom Green videos on Youtube are great.

    You have to feel sorry for him???
    Tom green??
    No... No you don't. The man is a waste of space.
    Admittedly funny at times but he brought that life on himself, I'd never feel sorry for him.

    You dont know much about the website. There are anonymous image boards, so yes they get abused from time to time. The moderators have always deleted those threads quickly and you generally never find it outside of /b/. There are forums on 4chan that you couldn't consider anything close to offensive. /b/ has become synonymous with 4chan, but it's like saying that the rest of boards is like After Hours. If 4chan really was a focal point of child porn then why is it that, unlike more obscure image boards, it doesn't have a board dedicated to Japanese lolicon manga for example? Simply put because that element isnt welcome there. The site upon which it was based, Futaba Channel, is one of Japans most popular websites. It also gets abused, but that doesn't make it a home for paedos.

    The speed at which /b/ moves makes it easy for the sickos to post and hope to evade mods, but when it does get posted you'll find that the threads get reported straight away and for every post goading them on there's about 3 that will sage or report the thread. I cant speak for what it's like currently as I dont use it often, but when it was a smaller website a few years ago this was always the case.

    The majority of the posters on /b/ are young adolescents who really shouldn't be using the website in the first place. I know that I hadn't even heard of the website until I was old enough to realise that there are real people behind the images that some spas find so funny. So yes you'll get young idiots who will post lulz because of the shock factor involved. It's clearly a website whose mean age is 16 which is apparent from the obsession with porn and tits.

    No one would bother, as the saying goes "/b/ is not your personal army" so sleep safe tonight. That is unless you start uploading videos to youtube calling out "the haters", that usually sparks their interest.

    Anyway my point is that the user base of 4chan is huge, it's hyperbole to think they're all paedophiles, most of them are just harmless anime nerds. But all that said I'm not defending the website as a bastion of all that is good, most of it drivel.
