4chan

    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.

    http://encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/4chan Possibly NSFW

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,213 ✭✭✭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!

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

    +1

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    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???

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,119 ✭✭✭Donald-Duck


    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? :confused:

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

    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.
