4chan is 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.
[edit] Image Board Guide
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. 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. Unless you're interested in "i luv a gurl, what do I do /b/ XD =]" or telling a thick-rimmed-glasses fuck-ass that he's pretty, just don't bother anymore. Current messiah helping to cure the cancer that is killing /b/ Alexander-sama.
- /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
avatarnon-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! (they still post furries even though furry friday is dead)
- /e/ - A specialized cartoon board where they post naked women without explicitly showing their reproductive organs (or
es). Wholly uninteresting, because it tends not to contain hilarious sexual fetishes or things blowing up.
- /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. Also, porn.
- /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.
- /z/ -/b/'s final form (invitation only). (lol wut?)
Trial boards:
- /fa/ -
FashionGaia. - /fit/ - Health & Fitness.
- /hc/ - Hardcore. Porn, specifically. Not shitty metal that /mu/ doesn't want you posting.
- /n/ -
TransportationTrains, 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. (lol wut?)
- /toy/ - Toys.
- /trv/ - Travel. As in outside of mom's basement.

[edit] 4chan administrators
- W. T. Snacks is a loser with a 2-inch (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.
- Moot 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.
- 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.
- 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] What /b/tards have to say
[edit] 4chan Creation
A reading from Genesis:
In the beginning, there was Moot.
On the first day, Moot created 4chan and said 'Lord, this is 4chan, bringer of pain'.
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'.
On the third day, Moot gave man tripcode. 'Behold tripcode,' he said. 'Only ye who wish to forgive may perform.'
On the fourth day, Moot created /b/, and many Anonymous rejoiced.
On the fifth day, the server crashed, Moot's creation was in disarray and MYSQL errors killed off many Anonymous with no mercy.
On the sixth day, there was a sticky, and many complained of this sticky and thusly proclaimed 'This sticky sux0rz'.
On the seventh day, Moot sold 4chan.

Their faggotty new front page.
[edit] 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."
[edit] The Future
The change to the front page of 4chan may not appear to have any significant effects as far as practicality goes. But, I believe that it foreshadows much darker times to come. For those who have their eyes open, you realize that almost the whole world has been taken control of by a very corrupt and ruthless group of people. This occurred through incremental methods, making small, seemingly meaningless changes until so many changes had been made to society, everything was different without anyone noticing. I believe that is what is happening with 4chan. Mootle is making seemingly trivial changes to 4chan at a slow pace, which will ultimately lead to our deepest fears: 4chan as an account-based paysite with official merchandise, big corporate sponsorship, fake, contrived aesthetics,14 and perhaps even an official account of the history of 4chan which differs from reality. Age verification will take place to visit any 18+ boards. All posts will be recorded. GETS will be staged for real. I've been here for over two years. I still feel like a "[[newfag]]" (which is a word mostly used by [[newfag]]s, ironically) but lately I realize I've been here longer than 90% of 4chan users. Anyone who has been around as long as I have can see that the real issue isn't the quality of posted content, it's the changes that have been made to 4chan itself, the same way things happen with any big corporation. tl;dr, kill yourselves now
[edit] Sticky, the 4chan Posting Guide
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] 4chan City
Holy shit, that's wacky.
[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
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] UnderageB&
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.
