I can't open that website without seeing porn ads. I think they're sending a message...

Which came first? 4chan or the web? 4chan is place where insanity comes from. 4channers, the natives, pass insanity like bad gas. The river that is the internet flows from 4chan itself, setting internet trends, and even real ones.
Mark these words: 4chan is alive. Shoop da whoop.
A long time ago, in a place far, far away, the world gave birth to the internet. In this most holy alternate world, 4chan was born and so came the long-awaited destruction and slander of the human mind. And all was good.

Thee breeding ground for internet trolls and perverts. Using an anime imageboard as their platform, both normal and extraordinary people circlejerk and troll one another relentlessly when discussing and criticising within a variety of topics.
Anon-in-rl#1:Have you been to 4chan?
Anon-in-rl#2:Yes, you too?
Anon-in-rl#1:No, but thank you for warning me.
Anon-in-rl#2: No problem.

4chan is the epitome of satanic degenerency from a christian world view, it is rife with corruption, debaunchery, homosexuality and it is hypothezied that moot is the spawn of satan, 666. Chrisitans commonly refer to 4chan as the devil, as can be seen on popular anti-4chan website www.4chanisthedevil.info.

<Christian>4chan is the devil dot info! That sites evil bro.

The best image board in existence. Whether you're there to chat on World4ch, talk about video games, get your daily anime kick, post images of nature and wildlife, show off your art, discuss technology, or bust a nut to some hentai, 4chan is teh r0x. I'm there everyday. You can become popular on 4chan through posting witty comments and uploading images. You can also use a 'tripcode' (# followed by a code or code word), to lower the chance of imposters. The highest quality hentai is posted to 4chan everyday. There are many categories in 4chan, for example /n/ (Nature and Wildlife), /h/ (Hentai), /d/ (Alternative Hentai; for example hentai with tentacle rape or dickgirls in it), /b/ (Random, where you can act like a total idiot and get away with it...extremely fun!), and /c/ (Anime/Cute. Post your kawaii stuff here) There are many more sections, go to 4chan to see for yourself. www.4chan.org
I go to 4chan everyday to look at some hentai and discuss video games.

A website few people understand.
In a world where even music has cheapened and obviated the concept of irony, 4chan still practices it. It's often hard for even experienced users to tell the difference between their peers and people too new to the website or too retarded to understand it.

You will not understand 4chan AT ALL until you have been there daily for at least two years.

If you go there the first time, leave, and make a post about it on UrbanDictionary saying how immature and awful it is, you have been greatly trolled and deserve to die for your gullibility. While people claiming to be 'oldfags' hate 'newfags', true 'oldfags' appreciate them as the newer and more naive the general crowd, the better camouflage they make for the TRUE Anonymous users.

That said, there is a lot of unjustifiable on 4chan, because the whole point of chan anonymity is for not everyone in the community to be of the same mold. That is what makes it shocking and/or retarded, but also what tends to make it amazingly clever in a way no one who hasn't lurked for years picking up the nuances can understand.

Also, newfags think it is an army or a political movement, it isn't...it's a somewhat ill-concieved attempt at an extradimensional reconstruction of human thought.

Also, it isn't your personal army unless you are good at social engineering, in which case you can trick new members and the weak-minded into doing your bidding.
When I first visited 4chan I was disgusted and confused, but intrigued by its liveliness and manipulability. I LURKED MOAR, and came to understand it. I despise a lot of the content and think a lot of the ideas prevalent there are retarded to say the least, but it does have truly unlimited potential...

...or at least it would if Moot made it current and got rid of the new captchas -_-

A place where it simulates a bandwidth rollercoaster ride by screwing itself over with large quantities of anime images and data filled with anime japanese enthusiasts who are mostly japanese wannabes in a community who ripped its idea from 2chan.
"Damn, 4chan is down again and I wanna leech my daily dose of anime pictures and read what post flaming those elitists have done this time."
