Welcome to 4chan
Welcome to 4chan

4chan is an "Internet hate machine" which consists of "hackers on steroids" and "domestic terrorists" according to Fox news. It is actually an anonymous Japanimation-themed collection of image boards based on the popular Japanese site 2ch.jp. 4chan is proof positive that the US should not have stopped with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but should have nuked the entire island of Japan off the face of the Earth. The site is full of fail, newfags directed from Digg, and fucktards, all of whom have at least some variant of social anxiety disorder. So, not surprisingly, most of the image boards consist of hentai.

Many memes, such as "sauce plz", originated at 4chan, the lean, mean, meme-making machine. Also, many image macros are created there, such as Caturday and others. This has led to Anonymous declaring itself "the face of the internet", when it is truly more reminiscent of the anus of the internets. 4chan is like the anus of the internet in that it holds all the shit inside the rectums so it doesn't spray out all over. When 4chan goes down, it's like the internet has explosive diarrhea.

And no, /b/ was never good.

The seasoned internet traveler might find himself debased when presented by the mass of confusion which is so well embodied in 4chan. 4chan is the home of asocial, and at times anti-social, white folk who believe in the superiority of everything that is Japanese because 4chan users love anime almost as much as they love dick. It is divided into many sub-boards, each having its distinct theme for image posting to satisfy the deviant mind. Occasionally to stir up some fun, the mods place wordfilters in the boards to completely fuck around with peoples' posts/opinions. When it comes down to it, every board on 4chan is just /b/ with a theme. Everyone talks the same, complains the same, and trolls the same. Except the hentai boards, they're special.

  • /a/ - See /v/. /a/ is just /v/ for anime and churns out their own memes at a similar rate. They hate anime just like /v/ hates the vidya. No longer tame by any standard, it has become a hive of numberfaggotry and ronrey otakus seeking PROMOTIONS.
  • /an/ - Board for posting animals and shit like that. These people take their hobby very seriously. You will learn things you never needed to know about cats, iguanas, and jumping spiders.
  • /b/ - Now hopelessly overrun with insufferable emo faggots aka. Succesfull Trolls. Unless you're interested in camwhores, mudkip, furrys and fail memes, just don't bother anymore. Current messiah helping to cure the cancer that is killing /b/ is Alexander-sama.He, however, has already failed. On 18/06/08 /b/ nearly died when Old /b/ Day was created. On this day all the newfags, furfags, camwhores and faggots came together to say their last 'wat's, post in their last EFG threads and remind us all for one last time how long long cat is while the 'oldfags' the few /b/tards with common sense and the mods were lolling at this faggotry knowing that /b/ would never die. Unfortunately they were right, /b/ is still not dead.
  • /c/ - A very tame board (compared to the rest) for nerds who prefer Japanese cartoons containing girls (and I use the term lightly) who look like 4 year olds with freakishly huge eyes. One of the 4 realms where women could plausibly exist on the internet.
  • /cgl/ - Board full of weeaboos that partake in cosplaying. Images of people dressed as their favorite anime characters are posted here. A very woeful board indeed.
  • /ck/ - Board for people who have an unhealthy obsession on all things edible. Expect weeaboos and ramen.
  • /cm/ - A haven for gaia/Lj fags and obese trailer trash. One of the 4 realms where women exist on the internet.
  • /co/ - Contrary to what you may infer from the title, there's nothing but avatar non-comics & cartoons threads here. It's populated mostly by furfags that find racism and misogyny terribly upsetting, to the point of reporting and removing your posts. Also, they can't stop sucking their own cocks.
  • /d/ - Perhaps the hottest of all the cartoon boards on 4chan, /d/ is where they post images of hermaphroditic females with titanically oversized tits. It should be noted that those on this board find such things sexually attractive and fap away over the posted images. But at least they don't post furries! (Except in every single monster girl thread, which all descend into working out how 'furry' a picture is and thus how faggy they are. They genuinely do not see the irony in this).
  • /e/ - A specialized cartoon board where they post naked women without explicitly showing their reproductive organs (or image:penisfilter.pnges). Wholly uninteresting, because it tends not to contain hilarious sexual fetishes or things blowing up. Additionally, there is a 50% chance that if you post an ecchi image in a new thread, the moderators will accuse you of trying to make a request, banning you from /e/ for "this iz not /r/!!!!!1111"
  • /g/ - A new addition full of folk lacking in life and substituting it with superficial techno-worship. It is evident to the observant electronic eye that no knowledgeable persons reside there. It is merely filled with those who would want to be such, but lack the competence and morale to ascend to real technological wizardry. It used to be for guro images, but then 4chan went pussy. Pussy, I say!
  • /gif/ - Board for posting animated GIFs of porno clips and saying "sauce" and "rapidshit" until someone goes out, finds you porn, and delivers it you. Seriously, are you people that fucking devoted to being such utter basement-dwellers you can't just find your own porn, you have to get /gif/ to do it for you?
  • /h/ - Hentai board. You can almost smell the semen-stained keyboards.
  • /hr/ - Board for High Res pics. Basically, pictures that are HUEG like Xbox.
  • /ic/ - Birkhead and drawwhores.
  • /jp/ - A board made for the sole purpose of moving all the Touhou and Type-Moon, which used to make up about 85% of all the threads, outside of /a/, because they're actually off-topic. Full of ronery otakus buying figurines, body pillows, and other stuff "normal" people would look down on you for possessing them.
  • /k/ - Realm of the /k/ommandos who idolize Germany, denounce Slav-shit, and where every Glock might as well be a hand grenade. It's full of self hating weeaboos who pretend not to appreciate the beauty of a loli-tank. Also popular with /k/: Desert Beagles, the MEATBALL, symmetrical docking, if you know what I mean, and Motoko Kusanagi.
  • /m/ - Board for talking about robots. Just robots.
  • /mu/ - Your favorite band sucks. If you've forgotten, /mu/ is happy to remind you. Made exclusively for discussing trv kvlt Black Metal, Daft Punk, and Dragonforce
  • /n/ - /n/igga stoled mah board
  • /o/ - Board for cars. No one on this board actually owns a car. Regardless, most of the posters like Volvos, late 1980's Mustangs, Japanese economy cars, and Initial D.
  • /p/ - Board for cameras and photography. Full of pretentious wankery by weeaboos who take photographs when not faping over lolicon.
  • /po/ Board for Origami. It's been years since any normal person has actually given a shit about origami but, hey, it's Japanese so it must be cool! /po/ recently suffered an invasion led by many Jacks from /b/, insistent on turning /po/ into /i/.
  • /r/ - Pure, unadulterated shit. This is a largely unused board that exists to have all four people who visit it post requests that never get answered. The true purpose of this board is so when people post images of the appropriate type in a board, they can get banned for "this iz not /r/!!!!!11" and to allow moderators to be officious fuckholes. However, if the same image were posted without a sentence existing next to it saying "this is a cool picture, I wonder if one of you could tell me where it's from?" it would be left alone, because apparently text is more important than images on an imageboard.
  • /s/ - A place for pre-teen fanboys to yell NAME! SAUCE! MOAR! and fap to pr0n.
  • /5/ - This is a hidden board and the contents are so far beyond awesome that you would punch your dad if you saw them.
  • /t/ - ZOMG TORRENT PL0X
  • /tg/ - For the 4channer demography that so desperately needs to evade from reality, they even play tabletop RPGs (Which everybody knows are against the will of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and well, just plain wrong). Posting anything other than Warhammer: 40,000, D&D, Magic: The Gathering or child porn will get you banned. Srsly.
  • /tv/ - Television board. Lizzy Caplan.
  • /u/ - Yuri board. For obnoxious feminazi dykes, underage b&s and and self-hating neckbeards who believe every piece of feminazi propaganda they come across. Despite popular belief, actual 2D lesbian porn is never posted here.
  • /v/ - /b/ with vidya gaems. Populated by trolls, former GameFAQs users, former /b/tards, Nintendo fanboys, trolls, and people who masturbate to PROMOTIONS. Threads are usually about how Sony and Sonic suck. If you want to get banned easily, simply disagree with a mod's opinions. Disregard that, /v/ has no mods. Disregard that, /v/ has mods again, they're just a bunch of lazy niggers.
  • /w/ - For all wallpapers anime. As can be noted by merely observing that "w" comes before "wg", the anime board must have appeared such, only strengthening the entire "Japanese are 1000x cooler than us" mentality. The only board that lacks (well, not as much "lack" as has a decline in) this philosophy is /b/.
  • /wg/ - This is a general wallpaper board with things ranging from cars to girls to anime to just about anything else a teenage boy could desire yet not be able to afford, now or later in life.
  • /y/ - This is where girls and guys masturbate over sodomy. And when they're not doing that they battle over which is hotter: guys that look like girls fucking each other or guys that would give Rambo an inferiority complex fucking each other. One of the 4 realms where women exist on the internet.
  • /x/ -/b/ with ghosts. Since the tragic loss of 7chan, /x/ contracted the cancer that is killing everything else and is now another /b/.
  • /z/ -/b/'s final form (invitation only). (lol wut?)

Trial boards:

  • /fa/ - Fashion
  • /fit/ - Health & Fitness. Made out of fatasses who think posting SQUATZ in every thread is funny. Seeing as nobody on /fit/ 4chan actually works out, the fail is doubled.
  • /hc/ - Hardcore. Porn, specifically. Not shitty metal that /mu/ doesn't want you posting.
  • /n/ - Transportation Trains, replacing News. /n/ewsfags were not amused, because they were no longer allowed to say "Nigger" 50+ times.
  • /r9k/ - The most popular of the trial boards. Wants to be /b/ without reposts. Something of an impossibility, since 99% of /b/ is reposts of reposts of reposts.
  • /sp/ - Sports. Good luck finding a thread that isn't USA vs Europe, or about how BAWWston sucks cocks.
  • /toy/ - Toys.
  • /trv/ - Travel. As in outside of mom's basement.

[edit] 4chan administrators

4chan's moot shortly after gaining his diploma in Mexican Vice Studies.
4chan's moot shortly after gaining his diploma in Mexican Vice Studies.
  1. W. T. Snacks is a loser with a 2-inch image:penisfilter.png (when erect). He compensates for this fact by banning everyone at the slightest provocation. This makes him cool. Now banned from 4chan itself, after moot decided he was tired of the way Snacks sucked on his pindick. For approximately one post W. T. Snacks was cool when he stated that 'furries cause drama' but now his ban will be as long as the longcat which bears that length. W. T. Snacks is also a son of a bitch who recommends CDs to people and refuses to pay those people back after they buy said CDs. He is now back, albeit as a regular user with no mod powers. He posts with the tripcode W.T. Snacks !TcT.PTG1.2.
  2. Faggot used to be somewhat cool, or as cool as someone on the internet can be, posting pictures of himself as a guy in Mexico who graduated high school with a degree in Mexican studies. Later he revealed his true identity at numerous conventions, even showing up with random fags behaving as if they were his bodyguards. It also seems he was under-aged b& when he made 4chan. Likes soup.
  3. MrSpooky is an ex-mod who spawned the catchphrases "I've never seen so many ingrates" and "You'll get nothing from me." He frequently made stickies on /b/ begging for money because he got thrown in jail and now he needs donations to pay off his court fees. Smells real great.
  4. Allyson - a fat, underaged whore that looks like the ugly tree raped her through childhood, managed to go down on Moot long enough for him to give her Mod status. During all of this she apparently stalked a 4channer from her hometown, making her a slut. She's a filthy camwhore that probably has dozens of STDs and suffers from being a wapanese faggot.

[edit] UnderageB&

Underage B&s are the cancer that is killing /b/.
Underage B&s are the cancer that is killing /b/.

Before cancer took over 4chan, most users were above the age of 18. Thanks mainly due to gore. /b/ used to be a horrifying place and only those with the mental stability to handle the kind of shit posted had the balls to even lurk. Even when less horrifying memes became popular, the overall sense was terrifying. It was a bad idea to leave /b/ on your computer when you went to go take a shit.

Now, however, every post is written by someone around age 12. These faggots found out about 4ailchan through researching the niggers on Habbo Hotel. Most hang around because /b/ is turning into the new Ebaumsworld, with funny parodies on real-world events, pics of people SHOOPIN DER WHOOPS (SO KAWAII!), and a place to get free porn without getting a virus as well.

This problem could be easily fixed if 4chan's mods grew some balls and started overly enforcing the ban hammer, but we all know that will never happen since if it did, there would be no /b/ left.


[edit] 4chan hates you

It is safe to say that 4chan hates you, and will screw you over first chance it gets, even if you are a member especially if you are a member. 4chan even hates it's own admins and mods. In fact, 4chan hates you about as much as your mom, and would churn out extremely insulting and hurtful memes about you, if it wasn't busy with other stuff. This is why it's an internet hate machine. So all you Newfags and Moralfags can just go fuck off.


[edit] Sticky, the 4chan Posting Guide

Meet Sticky! He's your guide to shitposting on /b/.
Meet Sticky! He's your guide to shitposting on /b/.

Sticky is 4chan's latest technology, a mutant inbred offspring of Jews and Clippit that moot worked really really hard on for at least 100 sleepless days in order to help newfags spout memes more and actually sound like they know what they're talking about to other newfags. While Sticky says he would like to help you with trolling, he probably just wants to help you write a suicide note or rape you. He also doesn't seem to understand that copypasta and trolling is usually intricate work, and trying to do so without any experience will result in cancer like THE BEST and So Cash. Especially when he's flamboyant about his sexuality and weeaboo status. The best thing you can do is disable Javascript or click "Don't show this tip again," although it likely won't do anything, because it didn't work any better trying to hide Clippit.

[edit] Gaiachan

On February 12, 2008 Moot posted his fucking will on the news page basically talking about imminent changes on 4Chan (new trial boards, more janitors, how much he loves the site and much more).

[edit] 02/19/2008 - The Trial boards and the death of /n/ - News

The thread that killed /n/.
The thread that killed /n/.

On february 19, 2008, Moot added 9 new "trial" boards: /fa/ (Fashion), /fit/ (Health & Fitness), /hc/ (Hardcore), /jp/ (Japan/General), /n/ (Transportation, replacing News), /r9k/ (ROBOT9000), /sp/ (Sports), /toy/ (Toys) and /trv/ (Travel).

[edit] 4/11/2008 - The Occupation of /n/-transportation

During the server issues on 4/11/2008, /n/ transport was going off topic. The first post that started the occupation was on 4/11/2008 7:13 pm with the text "Hello, I'm David Bowie." referencing from the Adult Swim show the "Venture Brothers". But the real occupation did not begun until 8:06 EST. Soon there was topics such as Barack Obama, the Beijing Olympics, abortion, the Texas Polygamist Raid and other political related crap. It was obvious that /n/-transportation was invaded and occupied in order to be converted back to /n/-news. In the early morning of 4/12/2008, the admins reset the posts to remove anything not related to transport.


[edit] Friday the 13th - LOLSCRIPTS

On June 13th, 2008, 4chan came one step closer to the final solution. A script kiddie decided to post a script for others to follow its instructions and save it in to Notepad. When the script runs, it posts the guide in a thread on /b/. The final result was a barrage of lulz and resulted in the newfags that fell for it and didn't know how to stop it getting b&.

[edit] Moot's Meeting

Will you be there?
Will you be there?

On June 18th, 2008, moot posted an address and time for a presumed meeting with the users of 4chan. The message reads "today, 6/18. boston common. park street. 7pm." He also posted a link to google maps. This message was posted on every board except /b/, but you can't blame him for excluding the ocean of cancer from his "secret" party. However, /b/ was also shown some attention, as it too underwent changes. For the full story, see Old /b/ Day.

[edit] The Chanese Federation

4chan recently became part of The Chanese Federation. Whoa, really? You are most definitely not being shitted with. The Chanese Federation is a 100% real country located in the North Atlantic between North America and Europe. The real country gained independence on 06/23/08 when the semi-autonomous *chan states of 2chan, 4chan, 420chan, and 7chan joined together. Now all anon have a place to call their own free from typical faggotry but home to brand new faggotry at the same time.

[edit] Fanfic

A reading from Genesis

In the beginning, there was Moot. <br>
On the first day, Moot created 4chan and said 'Lord, this is 4chan, bringer of pain'.<br>
On the second day, Moot created Anonymous. They became [[lonely]] so Moot created Bridget; Anonymous complained of this [[trap]], but Moot proclaimed 'There are no girls on the interbutt, Bridget will suffice'.<br>
On the third day, Moot gave man tripcode. 'Behold tripcode,' he said. 'Only ye who wish to forgive may perform.'<br> 
On the fourth day, Moot created /b/, and many Anonymous rejoiced.<br>
On the fifth day, the server crashed, Moot's creation was in disarray and MYSQL errors killed off many Anonymous with no mercy.<br>
On the sixth day, there was a sticky, and many complained of this sticky and thusly proclaimed 'This sticky sux0rz'.<br>
On the seventh day, Moot sold 4chan.<br>

The Day 4chan Died

A long, long, time ago,
I can still remember how that website used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my cat
A cam, photoshop and all that
That, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.

But December fourteen made me shiver
With every pic that I’d deliver.
Bad news on the front page;
My heart welled up with roid rage.

I can remember it was me
Reading all about this faggotry,
And something touched me deep inside
The day the 4chan died.

So bye-bye, Mr. Epic Fail Guy.
Pointed my gun at the bung,
But the homepage was hung.
And them an heros was drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that we die.
"this’ll be the day that we die."

Did moot write the book of love,
And have you lost faith in God above,
If the btards tell you so?
Do you believe in An Hero,
Can 4chan save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to die real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with moot
'Cause I heard you callin' in don't shoot
You both kicked services 
Man, I dig those DoSes
I was a lonely, GenX basement buck
With a home built PC and no girl to fuck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the 4chan died
I was singin'

So bye-bye, Mr. Epic Fail Guy.
Pointed my gun at the bung,
But the homepage was hung.
And them an heros was drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that we die.
"this’ll be the day that we die."

Now for four years we’ve been on our own
And moot grows fat in his corporate home,
But that’s not how it used to be.
When Pedobear sang for the Partyvan,
Using CP he borrowed from 4chan
And a voice that came from those who see,

Oh, since the FBI was looking down,
Pedobear stole his horny crown.
The hijack was adjourned;
The CP was returned.
And while sick fucks typed with just one hand,
The anon waited in the park,
And we sang memes in the dark
The day the 4chan died.
I was singin

So bye-bye, Mr. Epic Fail Guy.
Pointed my gun at the bung,
But the homepage was hung.
And them an heros was drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that we die.
"this’ll be the day that we die."

Epic debasement in the 4chan casement
The anons lurked in their mother's basement
Eight hours old and failing fast
It landed foul on its ass
The /b/tards tried for a skat-like poop
With the Mootle on the sidelines making soup
Now the Bel Air tune was sweet perfume
While the /b/tards played a marching tune
We all got up to swim
Oh but we never could get in
'Cause the afros tried to block the pool
The Habbo admin we could fool
Do you recall what Mootle said
The day the 4chan died
We started singing

So bye-bye, Mr. Epic Fail Guy.
Pointed my gun at the bung,
But the homepage was hung.
And them an heros was drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that we die.
"this’ll be the day that we die."

Some retarded shit

YOU
I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO 4CHAN
I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO 4CHAN
I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO 4CHAN 4CHAN 4CHAN

LET'S START A WAR
START A FURFAG WAR
AT 4CHAN 4CHAN

I'VE GOT A MEME TO FORCE INTO YOU
I'VE GOT A MEME TO FORCE INTO YOU
AT 4CHAN 4CHAN

YOU'RE A SUPEHERO, 4CHAN
