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. |
| Has summary | Depending on who you are, 4chan may be a l … Depending on who you are, 4chan may be a leftist [[hate machine]], a site full of losers, a [[meme factory]], or just a [[pretty cool guy|cool place to hang out]]. 4chan is an [[imageboard]], a unique kind of forum which does not require registration and encourages posting [[anonymous|anonymously]], and has an overall focus on images, specifically. While the majority of 4chan is anonymous, some users use [[tripcode]]s to establish an identity. These users are often derided, and have no other means of identification aside from their unique ID. 4chan is a dominant center of internet culture. Many image macros have been created and shared there. 4chan creates memes at a rate unrivaled by any site, with the possible exceptions of [[Reddit]] or [[YouTube]]. Many of its catchphrases originated from the [[b/|/b/]] (Random) board, with the [[a/|/a/]] and [[v/|/v/]] (anime and video games) boards following behind. Perhaps the most interesting forum, /b/, the random board, has no rules aside that only legal material may be posted - and even that rule is often broken. /b/ should not be confused with 4chan as a whole, although this confusion is widespread. See [[4chan/boards|the boards subpage]] for more information. The boards are color coded into two colors, red (Futaba) and blue (Burichan). These are used to represent the board's work-safeness. with blue meaning [[SFW]] and red meaning [[NSFW]]. 4chan's members, especially /b/tards, have been known to organize. [[Chanology]] is perhaps the best known result of this. is perhaps the best known result of this. |
