Doubt it. I don't CP and I'm an Ancientfag.

Not all of us turn into faggots from 4chan.

>What will 4chan be like in 20 years?
I'm sure it'll be shut down by the authorities or some lawsuit long before that.

fapping to cheese pizza?

>>210122
Unfortunately this is the most likely outcome.

op is silly. like 4chan even matters.

>>210128
Try blocking it for five minutes and find out just how much it doesn't matter.

>>210122

>>I'm sure it'll be shut down by the authorities or some lawsuit long before that.

Hopefully. 4chan is a good thing but also a horribly shit thing.

>>210177
>4chan is a good thing
Really!?! How?

The blatantly uncouth opinions shared here and overall level of negative values the community displays are certainly indicative of a demographic that will grow to be like you described. However, one must take into consideration that users' opinions on this board are more a collective due to the anonymity aspect and that character judgement can't be very well derived due to this fact.

This site is now too well known for it's own good. It'll make a nice juicy target for someone to sue, or a politician or commentator to make hay by starting a campaign to shut it down, as has been stated.

Those o'reilly shoops are going to become a reality.

>What will 4chan be like in 20 years?
Hopefully if for some reason moot manages to handover ownership of the website to people who he trust to preserve 4chan and it's legacy, it will last another 6 years or longer.

If not someone will create another *chan much bigger than 4chan as a legacy.

>Kids would be growing up being sick shits and fapping to CP.

That will not happen.

>>210111
Considering the content, I wouldn't be surprisedbif the CIA made a chan site after te downfall of this one, from which they tracked pedos and political dissenters.

>>210213
No, the mainstream media still thinks 4chan==/b/. To this day the mainstream press still has that focus because /b/ is the most mainstream of all the imageboards in 4chan.

>>210207
>However, one must take into consideration that users' opinions on this board are more a collective due to the anonymity aspect and that character judgement can't be very well derived due to this fact.

That is true, each imageboard on the website can be considered as a hivemind and collective. Thus each has it's own culture.

I think it will replace babysitters.

Site is so entertaining who needs parental supervision?

I'm 24 and already a result of growing up with the Internet. In my day, we just used Ogrish, stileproject, rotten.com to get a dose of "sick shit." You get (hopefully) over it as you age and the novelty of non PC speech and ugly body parts wears off. No dramatic Ed Gein tendencies, you just lose patience with 17 year olds that are going through their own anti-social phase and still think it's hilarious and edgy to post gay dead nigger dicks ramming into the twin towers, or whatever. At least, that's my experience. So in the future their will probably be just a lot of complaining about newfags.

Don't know what I'm still doing on this stupid site.

>>210303
I'll be 39 in May.

>>210339

thats so fucking sad dude

>Kids would be growing up being sick shits and fapping to CP.

Most people on 4chan are disgusted by CP, it's posted mostly as shock images and trolling material by some sick shits. The kids at /b/ are only repeating memes about CP to fit in.

20 years from now?

Either non-existent, and replaced by a larger legacy site or massive and totally different.

>>210372
I'm 38. Look up 4chan demographics. Usage is almost the same for 30-40 year olds as 20-30 year olds, and over a third are female.

>>210372
You don't know the half of it.

>>210111
slippery slope argument fail.

>>210407
Yeah, we'll get right on that.

>>210339
me too, may 21. It kinda creeps up

I'm afraid I may have spoken too late...

Time to abandon ship. We had a good run mates

>>210779
Time to lower the life boats and evacuate the ship.

>>210805

Time to rip our flesh of with glass and eat it

>>210759
Internet virgins will be in for a fuckin surprise

I just took a look at the quantcast stats and it appears the amount of underageb& has decreased from 22% when I last saw it to 18%

>>210193
Caters to certain niches. It's not perfect, but it's helluva lot more convenient than having to sign into a forum, and so on.

I don't think the site will be taken down (unless we get internet regulation anyway) or people will wind up fucked up because of it. This site only continues to grow in popularity, I'm sure sooner or later there's going to be 1 out of 3 people who are a 4chan faggot.

I'm actually hoping for the world to end in 2012 or 4chan gets shut down within 4 years.

This place needs to be nuked, honestly. All the new kids are fucking terrible.

4chan ONLY GETS WORSE. ONLY

Should kill it before it destroys the internet in unfunny bullshit.

The danger is that Moot's publicity drive will grab more negative attention than he might have anticipated. The argument for 4chan's existence is that anonymity creates valuable communities that garner honesty and mutual aid, but the counter-argument - that it also creates an arena for incredibly undesirable content to be shared and a consciously immoral subculture to develop - will be much more effective in any real life debate on the subject. I'm not saying I agree with the over-the-top moralfags IRL, but it's easier to defend shit like this online because there aren't so many hysterical '"think of the children" types.

>>211085
That is the only bad thing about the site. But in it's defense, I rather have /b/ exist to maximize free speech in this country.

>>210759

Trust me, /news is quickly becoming a problem waiting to happen because of the racism and the revolution talk, trolling or not.
