4chan is many things to many people. To Faux News, it is an "Internet Hate Machine" consisting of "hackers on steroids" and "domestic terrorists." To others, it is that site full of weeaboos, trolls, and pedophiles that churns out many of the internet's most popular memes. 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 and a wide assortment of fucktards, all of whom have at least some variant of social anxiety disorder. So, not surprisingly, most of the image boards consist of hentai and shock images.
Many memes, such as "sauce plz", originated at 4chan. Also, many image macros are created there, such as the various Caturday pics. 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.
[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. It 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 its 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/ - WHEN I WAS www.anontalk.com MODS = FAGS slowpoke1.jpg THE BEST shit was SO cash DESU hay guise do i look hot requesting cp
- /c/ - A very tame board (compared to the rest) for nerds who prefer Japanese cartoons containing girls (and the term is used 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 with 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! (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
es). 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 used to be for guro images, but then 4chan went pussy. It is well known /g/ is filled with more sage and nerdrage than any other board. Call them /g/ - Tech Support for the lulz.
- /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.
- /i/ - No, this is not an invasion board, but a board for drawing. Why moot didn't just choose a different letter for the board is anyone's guess. The "i" comes from Oekaki, which is the Wapanese word for "doodle" or "scribble." The board has a built in Java application for drawing pictures to upload and share, called Shi-Painter. Not a bad board, but slower than fucked fuck. Gets about a dozen or so posts per day.
- /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. Please don't think that /jp/ has anything to do with Japan. The name is misleading, and, if you go there expecting to talk about IRL Japan, you will be disappointed.
- /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 and papercraft. 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/ - A mythical board where only few traverse. If, by some luck, you manage to find it, usually after you post a picture, in any thread (Posting pictures = Requests), you'll be no closer to finding the source of the picture, because /r/ is shit and never ever fucking works. Despite this, half of the fuckholes on 4chan will still sage your thread because YOU NEED TO POST 10 IMAGES OR ELSE ITS A REQUEST HURRRRR.
- /s/ - A place for pre-teen fanboys to yell NAME! SAUCE! MOAR! and fap to pr0n. Not /r/
- /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.
- /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 1,000x 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.
- /yg/ - Yogurt. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
- /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/ - The secret haven for /z/ oldfags. Go there. Right now.
Trial boards:
- /fa/ -
gFashion - /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/ -
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. It's basically /b/ with intelligence but no sense of humor.
- /sp/ - Sports. Completely infested with soccerfags. 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. The quietest board on 4chan, obviously.
[edit] 4chan drama
On August 19, 2008 SaviorChan becomes Open Source witch is patrioticnigras thread/chan spamming system. Its now available for fucking anyone. 4chan got insta lagged liek hell and over 9000 empty anon post posted.
[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 that 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&
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] 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] 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] The Occupation of /n/
During a battle with the site's upstream provider, the "/n/-transportation" board (which m♡♡t moderates) was forced off topic. The declarative post (to begin the occupation) was made on Monday, the 11th of April, 2008 at 7:13 pm with the text "Hello, I'm David Bowie." This was a blatant reference to the Adult Swim show the "Venture Brothers", and within the hour there were multiple threads about Barack Obama, the Beijing Olympics, abortion and the Texas Polygamist Raid. It was more than obvious that the anoraks had been invaded and their board occupied in order to be converted back to "/n/-news", yet, in the early hours of the morning, 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] 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] DNS'd
| — John |
As if God himself heard 4chans pleas to end the cancer that is quickly spreading throughout /b/ and /v/, 4channers suddenly woke up on Thursday, August 7th to weird, unexpected errors and glitches on the site. Eventually, the site went 'down', due to DNS errors.
Or so it seemed.
/b/tards, knowing the problem, quickly edited their hosts file to solve this problem, and posted the fix to places worthy of DNS'd 4chan; while trolls posted a lulzy fix onto places that were taken over by migrating underageb& (which said fixes would cause cancerous posters to be sent to hell). What was then seen by these /b/tards and oldfags on DNS'd 4chan was incredible:
- No you laff you lose xD xD LOLOLOLOL for miles.
- No unlulzy memes.
- Actual worthwhile discussions.
- No anontalk spam
- Cancer-Free Caturday
To many, it was like they were sucked into /b/ 4 years back. To others, it was modern /b/, just missing 96.21% of the cancer. Many meaningful conversations about the cancer was discussed, and many lulz were had.
Sadly, all good things must come to an end. On Monday, August 11, moot had fixed the DNS error, and mass amounts of underageb& and newfags refilled /b/ in record-breaking time. It not just sent previous topics on DNS 4chan to page 10, it made cancer more visible than ever. Millions of newfags, underageb&, and cancer denied that 4chan was ever up; instead, they said that oldfags were just trolling and pulling their legs. You laff you lose filled the board in record-breaking time; camwhores, overused image macros, advice dog, and post ending in x filled the board to overflowing-proportions.
DNS'd 4chan, and its quick aftermath, proved exactly WHAT is the cancer, and WHO is causing it.
[edit] 9 Debbie Lane Brockport New York
On the morning of August 29, nearly every post on 4chan's /b/ was "hey guys, add my AIM: Moderntopia, also come molotov my house at 9 Debbie Lane,Brockport,New York-who else has a racecar bed? I do!!" or "I am spamming your shitty website and there's nothing you can do about it faggots, if you're man enough come fucking get me-9 Debbie Lane Brockport New York"
All there is to say is LOL SKIDDIES
[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 /b/tards 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 AN SUPERHERO, 4CHAN
