| /a/ + | /a/ came into existence at same time as the inception of 4chan, since 4chan was originally an [[Anime|anime]] board. So [[4chan|4chan's]] origins are /a/'s origin. |

Its creator [[moot]] had originally made it as an American version of the Japanese [[Futaba Channel]] also known as [[2chan]]. 4chan's /b/ expanded rapidly. Many other boards were added but /b/ is still its most popular. /b/ is responsible for bringing the [[anonymous]] subculture into mainstream light.

The biggest cause of this may have been [[18-1]], when the 2007 Patriots had an undefeated season only to lose to an inferior team in the Super Bowl. Boston has been forever embarrassed by this incident, and 18-1 remains one of the biggest /sp/ memes. 8-1 remains one of the biggest /sp/ memes. |

With the sharp decline of quality in /b/, many former /b/tards began to seek refuge in the other 4chan boards, formerly sporadically visited. Appropriately, /v/ was one of those places. Since then, /v/ has become a major contributor of [[original content]], and is credited for memes such as [[Rickroll]] and [[Trollface]] and dozens of wacky [[MS Paint]] comics not about relationships, things the current /b/ is lacking. This came at a cost, however, and /v/ is also never short on bad trolls, [[forced meme]]s, and off-topic discussions. forced meme]]s, and off-topic discussions. |

When 1guy1jar was uploaded it was described as being one of the worst acts ever caught on camera, so its infamy was pretty much assured right there and then.

The origins of the name comes from the phreaker discovery in the 1960s that the transmission of a 2600 hertz tone caused a telephone switch to think that a call was over, which could be exploited to provide free long-distance and international calls.

The movie's ludicrously overblown and cartoonish tone is ripe for parody, and goes a long way to explaining the meme's longevity. Loosely set during the events of the three day Battle of Thermopylae in 480 [[Before the internet|BC]], the movie is basically King Leonidas shouting at a bunch of half-naked, oiled up guys with rippling torsos glowering longingly at each other, sporadically interrupted by slow-motion battle scenes. The unintentional homoerotic subtext is so apparent that you wouldn't bat an eyelid if it turned into a musical halfway through and finished with a spectacular dance-off against the Persians. pectacular dance-off against the Persians. |

She has green hair tied into four pig tails and is used as a 4chan mascot along with that [[moot]] girl thing. Yotsuba comes from the Japanese [[manga]] ''Yotsuba&!'' (from the guy who also writes ''Azumanga Daioh''). In this comic, she is an adopted and naive and energetic five year old girl who doesn't understand how anything works. She started being referred to as 404 Girl when one possibly [[troll]] [[anon]] asked [[b/|/b/]] for [[rule 34]] on the 404 girl. This post occurred in April of 2007 and led to numerous [[facepalm]] jpegs. This rule 34 was instantly considered taboo, and thus many trolls have since repeated the request. The responses to these requests almost always include: *I guess this is why they call her "404 girl" ROFL xD *[[cockmongler|lol hey look guys, its smiley man!!]] *[[pedobear|RUNNING BEAR]] *xD *xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD *OMFG SHE IS CALLED YOTSUBA!!!!11eleven *[[sage]] Naturally, as a response to this meme, much Yotsuba Rule 34 has since surfaced. , much Yotsuba Rule 34 has since surfaced. |

At the urging of his friends, on October 1st, 2003 a basic imageboard system was set up and the 4chan we know and love was born. While not the first English-language imageboard, it was certainly the first one with any real movement, literally exploding with traffic overnight from Something Awful, with many visitors coming from ADTRW, the anime board, and FYAD, the troll forum, in particular. and FYAD, the troll forum, in particular. |

A couple of users started declaring that [[Anonymous]] was independent of /b/ and 4chan and fled to 7chan, which then became the [[Internets|internet's]] newest Mos Eisley, a hive of scum and villainy, and became the second biggest imageboard on the web. Raiding other sites was [[I|encouraged]], insulting other posters was (and still is) the norm and in general, everything that [[moot]] banned on /b/ made its way over to 7chan. Because they hated everything 4chan had become and many of the stupider users on /b/ took a word against 4chan as a word against themselves, and because 7chan was once full of active trolls ready to raid a board or site at a minute's notice, the two sites have been engaged in a long-running rivalry of spamming each other's sites and occasionally [[DDoS]]ing them, which continued until 7chan generally fizzed out. 7chan has been one of the most infamous imageboards, for one thing because they featured a /cake/ board dedicated to nothing but [[lolicon]] [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hentai hentai] and got involved in their own share of constant, unending trolling drama until they collectively pulled the plug on being Anonymous. tively pulled the plug on being Anonymous. |
