web What is 4Chan?

Recommended Posts

in its most basic terms, 4chan is a forum website like this one. Though it is infamous for having the worst people on the internet browsing and posting there. On a side note it is also the birthplace of Bronydom.

 

If you want to see what a typical 4chan board looks like, go to Youtube and check out any of the "Pony Thread Simulator" videos. They showcase the lovely community that lives in /mlp/ (4Chan's My Little Pony section). 

 

It's really just best if you stay off of 4Chan though. It is one of the nastiest places on the internet and is not somewhere you want to go if you're easily offended.

Quite simply--the biggest cesspool on the internet from whence us bronies came.

 

It's truly a magical environment to be in, truly :lol:

What Lightning Star said. Went there one day and didnt go back. Very rude and immature people.

Im going to go ahead and be the weird one out here and say that while everyone says how bad it or the people are, its actually not that bad of a place. Yes, people are more crude due to full anonymity, but that doesn't mean you can't actually find decent threads, conversation, or people there. Ive done it all. Lots have. Majority of the time when people complain on it is cause they went and either saw something nsfw and weird to the max or couldn't handle some random talking bad to them and got their feelings shrek'd.

 

Its not for the light of heart. If you cant handle baseless insults from randoms on the web and all around crude and dark humour then don't go.

 

I won't lie and pretend like its not the ass of the internet though. :lol:

An infamous imageboard website known for being home to the most despicable people on the internet.

 

Users can, and usually do post anonymously, so there are no real repercussions for what they say/post there.

 

Like others have said, it was where the mlp fandom was born :/


...But that's just my opinion.

Baby don't hurt me, no more.

 

What is 4chan?

4chan is a simple image-based bulletin board where anyone can post comments and share images. There are boards dedicated to a variety of topics, from Japanese animation and culture to videogames, music, and photography. Users do not need to register an account before participating in the community. Feel free to click on a board that interests you and jump right in!


Be sure to familiarize yourself with the rules before posting, and read the FAQ if you wish to learn more.

 

From the home page of the internet hate machine itself!

I'd just like to reiterate from experience myself what Lightning Star said... If you're easily offended, yeah, it's best to simply stay away from 4chan...... Trust me... >_<

A huge thank you to my great friend AppleGearRising for this signature picture

Thank you Apple, I love it so much!

Normally I would just post the picture, but as it seems, it is too big to put in the signature here, so here is the link to my MLP personality test results:

What rock have you been living under? It's the most chaotic part of the internet, full of trolls and morons. Where everybody is anonymous. Meaning that they can do anything they want without consequences because nobody knows who they are. Oh and NEVER go on their /b forums, from what I've heard from the internet and a few freinds of mine, /b is full of messed up stuff. Thankfully I've never been on there. But it is where the brony community formed, so you got to give them that.

Is that when the term 'brony' was created? Because I know there were people who were fans of the show in it's early days and never even been to 4chan.

I'm not entirely sure, though the majority of the sort of 'brony uprising' happened and spread from there, so it wouldn't surprise me if it did.

 

I dunno though :/

Yes, but the Bronies got out and got into the rest of the interwebs. My forums, Facebook, everywhere. It was like the British Invasion ... but with more hair/manes

I can't say I blame them, bronies were treated terribly there.
