Fuck... Get it into your head...
4CHAN IS NOT A SECRET!

xD

>fauxnews.jpg
Stopped reading there.

>>4039148
OP here, yeah I know its not a secret, just curious as to people's opinions. The article is pretty lulzy too in places.

I made a chan because of it.

It's totally awesome.

I've never really minded the whole "news coverage" thing. It was bound to happen eventually.

What I don't get is all of the blatant fearmongering here. They act like EVERYONE from 4chan is some moronic HURRtard from /b/.

>The article is pretty lulzy too in places.
GET THE FUCK OUT

>fox

>>4039182
It's as annoying as any other article I've read on 4chan.
/b/ is only 30% of 4chan. Yet it takes 90% of the media coverage.
This is why people think "4chan == /b/" and we get Girugamesh raids.

I think its pretty funny how everyone on the outside sees /b/ and thinks its all of 4chan, its probably not funny if you wanted 4chan to have a positive image, but I really don't care about what the rest of the world thinks of this place; it doesn't impact my usage of it one bit.

"it thrives on competition and users write "moar" to challenge each other to post further loathsome material throughout the day and long into the night."
what.

lol, they used the word "nerd".
faggots.

>>4039200
I thought it was 58%.

>>4039253
>throughout the day and long into the night
are they trying to imply it stops at some point?

Someone needs to hack Fox and say nice things about 4chan... also insult Fox for being complete shit.

>"it thrives on competition and users write "moar" to challenge each other to post further loathsome material throughout the day and long into the night."
IT'S ALWAYS NIGHT TIME ON THE INTERNET

fucking fox can't spell. its more

OMG GUISE LETS H4X THEM BACK FOR SAYING STUFF ABOUT US

I think OP should disregard that article. First of all it is very poorly written. Second of all some of the information in the article seems to have been pulled out of the reporter's ass. Third, its fox news

Moot — he insists on the lowercase "m" — is reportedly Christopher Poole, a college dropout in his early 20s who lives in New York with his mother and is looking for more active employment.

>moot
>college drop out
>lives with mom
he truly is the founder of 4chan

I lol'd at this.
However, no matter how much lol I do, it wont change the fact that they have nothing to write about.

Is the Norton bit in there yet?

>>4039322
You're just now leaning this?
GET OUT

>>4039306
The first two points are summed up by that last point.

We're not mainstream until there's a goddamn coalition of Christian mothers trying to shut down the site by sending stern letters to mootykins.

>>4039293
You can't spell 'faux' right, either.

>What are /g/'s opinions on this?
wanna know my opinion faggot?

Where as within 4chan /b/ is that annoying 4yo you have to force to sit at the kids table during thanksgiving dinner and he just screams profanities the entire time, throwing corn bits all over forcing the adults to deputize you to monitor him the entire time and you wonder why you hate thanksgiving but always stay for the free food.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I was really hoping for them to say what was going to happen in 2010 but yet again disappointed

What the FUCK?

>>4039356
I see what you did there.

>>4039200
if I had to guess /b/ is maybe 40-50% of 4-chan, followed by probably /a/ and /v/. Everything else is small time.

>>4039376

>>4039373
that'sthejoke.giff

Faux/fake

>>4039384
I actually pulled 30% from somewhere which I recall was valid... But I haven't the slightest what it was.
But yes, moot said on a thread in /a/ that /a/ was second and /v/ was third.
/tg/ is probably fourth, followed by /m/ and /s/.

>>4039394
jokes are supposed to be funny

>>4039393
I see. Much obliged.
Now seems my response was on the money, regardless.

>>4039405

I heard joke once

"Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says 'Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.' Man bursts into tears. Says 'But, doctor...I am Pagliacci.'"

was a good joke

everyone laughed

>>4039409
Indeed, I debated as to whether or not you were going along with it or were actually uninformed.

>>4039226
They spelled it with a capital because it was the beginning of a sentence you nigger

>>4039423
Go back to bed Rorschach.

>>4039384
>>4039400
>>4039275
>>4039200
53% to be exact

>>4039429
he is moot basic grammatical concepts do not apply to his name

>>4039400
even though /b/ is a small portion of 4chan, to most people that's like saying nazis were a small part of the fascist movement of the 30's. if normal people saw some of the content posted on /g/, /v/, /r9k/ (just saying because i frequent those boards) much less /s/, /h/, and /d/, they would still be extremely offended.

Well it's not like a large portion of the board culture and in-jokes don't come from /b/ in the first place. We can pretend to hate the place as much as we want but we still have the same mentality, even if it's slightly more refined and specialized.

she sounds sooooo butthurt

>>4039442
Those boards are clearly marked NSFW.
Everything on zip.* would count as a (slightly eccentric) but still well-adjusted community.

Excepting the trolls.

>>4039444
FUCKING HELL I WANT TO EAT THAT YELLOW DOT GODDAMN

>>4039464
>Everything on zip.* would count as a (slightly eccentric) but still well-adjusted community.

I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THAT.

>>4039464
Yeah, no.

/g/, worksafe?
Well, not like a lot of us have jobs anyway

>writen in 4chan dialect

ITT: fags bawwwww because their 'exclusive' little club isn't so exclusive anymore, and they thus now feel insecure and inadequate.

techloligy thread

>>4039546
>I'm in your websites, gaying it up.

>>4039489
>>4039513
Alright, fine. Marginally-less NSFW.
But that's only because it's not policed properly. These boards are conceptually worksafe.

This site has been mainstream since 2005. Sorry you were late to the club.

Also, the only people who watch Fox are republicans and christfags, both of which will find this site too reprehensible to browse. They will also likely start online petitions to have it shut down, etc.

>>4039546
I'm fine with more people coming in; I think we might even benefit from this.

But even 4chan has its own rules; I lurked here for a few months before posting in order to get to know the place better. I don't think others will do the same.

>5.3 million
Oh how I lol'd

>>4039581>>4039581

I don't understand the leap of logic to where a site that is globally 18+, essentially because it is 'not suitable for minors' can be selectively worksafe on individual boards. There is a disconnect here, because if it is not suitable for minors, then it likely isn't suitable for work either, and that's a GLOBAL rule. So which is it?

also, get back to work and stop browsing 4chan, faggot.

>>4039435

No love for /h/? I'm surprised.

>>4039606
I really think it's the quality of the people that makes the difference. I didn't lurk as long as you did, but I did understand that it was significant to learn more, lest I make a fool of myself. I hit ED and the flash archives. I got as far as Shii's wiki. But even all that is not an absolute solution if the people are shit at the core.
Newfags is as newfag does. Garbage in, garbage out.
No amount of education will change that.

>>4039628
There's no way in hell I'd ever so much as ping 4chan while at work, let alone view a "worksafe" board. All the moniker stands for at this point is "no porn guys seriously, come on I mean it stop doing that I'm gonna get mad maybe."

>>4039642
I wouldn't be surprised if /d/ got more traffic than /h/.

>>4039628
>>4039659
Yes, the bottom line is that there's no porn or guro or any of that stuff on the 'NSFW' boards. That's what it means. That also happens to be what the outsiders would call 'appalling.' That's the point I was making. Not that /g/ is actually safe to be viewed at work.
Also, it's 5:33 on Passover. I'm not at work.

>>4039671
The point is the boards outside of /b/ are still just as dysfunctional and morally vacant as /b/ itself, we're just not idiots.

>>4039698
That's a pretty solid plus, you know....
