Rules 1 and 2
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Rules 1 and 2 is a famous piece of copypasta from the Rules Of The Internet that originated in the scenester whorefest of a movie Fight Club, which was adopted by /b/tards in the name of /b/. Because, you know, /b/ IS Fight Club, bitch. The rules are simple:
Rule 1: You do not talk about /b/
Rule 2: You DO NOT talk about /b/
As you can see, in making this article, I have broken the first and second rules of the internet. But that's OK, because the rules were made by Gaiafags. The rules were taken lightly at first, but the results of the Pools Closed have left /b/ a shell of what it used to be. Thus many /b/tards have taken it upon themselves to protect the name of /b/ from the internet. Camwhores are still allowed to talk about /b/ outside of /b/ by writing it on their tits. I guess anon does forgive after all.
There is also some debate over what the rules mean. Some claim that even using the name 4chan outside of 4chan is breaking them, while others know better and tell them to GTFO for retardation. In the end though, it doesn't matter. Rules 1 and 2 are a joke, and should be broken at every opportunity.
[edit] Biggest Violations of Rules 1 and 2 to date
[edit] The August Exception
In a face saving move, anonymous attempted to rewrite history with the following declaration:
| —Anonymous, in /b/ replying to Anonymous citing "Rule #1 and #2" on August 7th, 2007 |
Anonymous will probably repeat it until it catches on and is accepted as truth by all /b/tards.
In fact, saying that "rules 1 & 2 only apply to raids" has become a meme in itself, as a reply to somebody citing rules 1 & 2. this instantly creates drama between people that are for/against the only on raids exception.
[edit] HOWEVER - some truth for you fine people;
rules 1 & 2 are not there (solely) to protect 4chan. they are there to protect you, the 14yearold underageb& that you are, from looking like a complete and utter retard to everybody you know by saying things like:
-"Man vs. Wild is a pretty cool guy, he survives and doesn't afraid of anything"
or walking into burger king and asking
-"I can has cheezburger?"
why should it need to only apply to raids anyway? everybody knows you blame ebaumsworld.
