'rule 2' - to supply the subject featured in 'rule 1' with a link to the thread about them.

rule 2 of summer school: never listen to anh.

3 + 5 is in fact, 8, not 7.

Quit Making Noise! Understand.

First two rules of an infamous site on the Internetz. They both mean that you're not allowed to talk about the site. Ironically, rules 1 and 2 have become a defining feature of the site, essentially making them useless whenever cited.

1. You do not talk about /b/.
2. You DO NOT talk about /b/.

What everyone forgets is that they only apply when said site raids another site.

Discovered in the eternal search for wisdom by the relentless Joshiro007, it the one thing you must always remember when involved in a serious relationship...RULE#2:

Part of the "rules of the internet", made in early 2006 by someone in the /b/ section of 4chan who fancies the site a secret underground.

Due to the /b/ section being overrun with users from sites such as Gaia Online and MySpace, these rules were accepted, and more people took part in the illusion that 4chan is a SUPAR SECRAT CLOBHAUS. Despite the fact that these two rules state that you shouldn't talk about /b/, some people will cite "RULES 1 AND 2!!" every time 4chan (or even a meme) is mentioned outside of the site.

Thankfully, this vermin of stupidity remains contained in /b/, so people who cite rules 1 and 2 in other boards are bound to get flamed and hopefully banned.
