I've never been to 4chan. I'm scared of being offensive and getting hacked/stalked. Honest truth. But I may check it out, just for this thread.
Alright, I just went to check it out and ended up seeing a picture of a guy fucking a cat. Maybe it wasn't a cat, but it was some furry little thing... fucking internet, you win again.
I feel that way a lot of the time, but I keep on. This is a forum that actually has tubgirl emoticons...
OH MY GOD 4CHAN IS AWESOME I TAKE IT ALL BACK. This dude started a thread that showed his girlfriend with a sign saying what's up /b/ then they convinced him to have her post her tits then they convinced them to fuck on camera. NSFW http://tinychat.com/opgirlfriend
I checked it out because people always mention it here, saw kiddie porn in ~5minutes of browsing, and got suicidal for a couple of days. Psychologically, kiddie porn is like shit in a sandwich; if you have a bacon, shit, lettuce and tomatoes in a sandwich, it's still a shit sandwich.* That said, the whole anon internet justice thing can be really cool, I'm just not going to eat the shit sandwich for the bacon. *I stole this.
I frequent it only when I'm really, really bored. It's alright, I guess. Some of the threads/jokes are really funny but whenever it gets too busy it's just a clusterfuck of random porn and gay threads.
Every now and then whenever I'm bored I peruse the /b/. Good times to keep you entertained for a bit, but I've never actually posted on there. I've been on and off there for a year or so now, and I can honestly say I've never seen a single picture of kiddie porn, the closest thing being some younger looking porn models, but they definitely had a good chance of being 18. One of the more entertaining things I saw on there was when some guy posted screen caps of a girl who was naked on a webcam for him. The first screenshot he blanked out both e-mails, but the second screenshot he posted after the thread got a ton of hits didn't haven either e-mails blanked out. The /b/tards decided to not only e-mail the girl, but look her up on facebook to and message her there and pretty much threw the idiot who posted the pics under the bus. Good times. This right here was probably the best thing I saw to do with 4chan was this: Spoiler
It's too much of a clusterfuck for me to visit, but I live vicariously through ED and whatever gets forwarded to me. Incredibly dark subject matter, but I have to admit that the most hilarious thing to come out of the armpit of the internet has been Pedobear. You can even buy a plush doll. This exchange was forwarded to me awhile back.
Relative newfag here. Used to be on /b/ on and off, was on /r9k/ as well. The shit was like a huge social experiment, the ultimate vindication of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory. Apparently Normal Person + Anonymity + Audience = penis, child porn (cp) and the most hilarious shit known to man. It was like living in one of those sci-fi novels where cyberspace is a crazy place where anything can happen at any second. It was what the internet was always supposed to be and what no one thought it would be. Needless to say, this thread has me considering another visit. Unfortunately, everyone else in the thread was right too. The signal to noise ratio is way too low nowadays to make it worth the time. I regret that I wasn't around enough to be an old To add some actual content to this post, here's some of the pictures I saved over the years.
Ah the /b/... It was only a matter of time. As for the rules of 1 & 2, they only apply to raids. There are a lot of pedos and sickfucks on that website, but they have also brought a lot of hilarity into the world. I'll never forgive them for introducing me to chatroulette though.
If you prefer to skip straight to the more interesting and entertaining threads from there, the archives (clearly not safe for work) are the best place to visit.
The only people I've known who regularly visit 4Chan are extremely antisocial and completely fucked up when it comes to women. Maybe it's a self-selection thing, but I kinda get the feeling that the toxic environment fucks them up more. Just a theory, but it's enough reason for me to avoid it. Plenty of other ways to spend my time.
I agree but /b/ still holds a lot of power. Most of the "oldfags" have grown up or moved to other chans but when raids or internet memes like Epic Beard Man(a current example) are in there early stages. /b/ is where people go for /b/lackup. It's the hive-mind of the internet and when the stars align, /b/ is a fucking force that can't be stopped. Having said that, it's mostly a goddamn waste of time. Protip: If you can't figure out how to navigate the place. Try using the firefox extension but don't come crying to me when the partyvan shows up at your door.
Was trying to add an example of something funny that happed on /b/ recently but could no longer edit. I loved the Portia Allen stuff. E.L.F held an on-line competition for their magazine cover. Anon votes up an overweight black lady ahead of the typical industry stranded. The girl in first place makes an exploitable statement on her facebook. After a clusterfuck of negativity, her mother makes her post this apology. She thinks being derp means being sensitive to other races and that a shoe on your head is a sign of humility. It's important to note that the "public outrage" and apology video happened in the same evening. More on that incident here: <a class="postlink" href="http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Portia_Allen" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Portia_Allen</a>
I just had this forwarded to me. If the fall guy wasn't being a troll, this is pretty hilarious / fucked up. I wrapped it in spoiler tags due to image size. Spoiler
Jesus Christ. When I was a kid we thought we were badass when we convinced someone on AIM to press Alt-F4.
I like that 4chan is rapidly educating all the morons who think anything on the internet is anonymous. I tend to peruse through the nudie pictures and the HD wallpaper board.
Remember the "Squirrelfucker" chapter from Happy Hour is for Amateurs? Much like lawyers, you put a bunch of finance guys with fucked up senses of humor behind a computer for eighty hours a week and you get some serious fucked up shit being passed around. At least a tenth of it comes from /b/. Here's what hit my inbox this morning with the subject: Cave Explorer. Spoiler /b/ Edit: Original:
