What is this 4chan I keep hearing about?
PS......
OK, never mind.
You don't want to know... I rarely can gather enough courage to visit it. Few times per month, sometimes there is many months when I don't visit it at all. I never post though.
Anyway, to put it short: 4chan is best example what happens all morons, trolls and kiddie pr0n likers get to post as anonymous. It's impossible place to have any kind of control. "topics" in /b/ lives for about 10 minutes, then it gets "old" and is deleted.
It is imageboard where one can upload images anonymously. I can't imagine what's traffic of that place, 10 millions users per sec? So, just guess what happens stupidest, sickest and most GEEK people in whole internet get to post pictures anonymously. It has some good areas to find pictures (anime, anime wallpapers, technology, photography). However, pr0n areas are most used sections (does this surprise anyone?) apart from illfamous /b/
/b/ is its own, sick world. SOMETIMES it has some brilliant, goofy or purely genious stuff, mostly it's stupid garbage. Oh, and pr0n. All kinds of pr0n. "That kind of" pr0n gets deleted pretty fast mainly because ridiculously short lifespans of threads. I guess there are mods, I don't know. I'm far from regular lurker.
Anyway, why I remembered 4chan was because of pic Kiro-kun once posted in anime topic this to be particular.
If you really want to know more about it, here's wikipedia link.
It certainly wouldn't be loss for humankind if 4chan would meet its end.
Of course, after that huuuuge amount of trolls and e-dorks would spread across internet. Maybe it's better to keep them all in one place.
To put it short: 4chan really is kaleidoscope about all that's wrong with teh internets.
Eh?
Sorry about rant, 4chan is just so frustrating topic
edit: /b/ section is also full with emos who are going to kill themselves and some unbeliavably stupid stuff, like "legendart" NFL dirty bomb hoax
*sigh*
