Forums - General Discussion - Why is 4chan so popular all of the sudden?

I have never heard of 4chan until I came to this site and I don't know anyone who knows what the heck it is either.



Around the Network

I know a couple of people who know 4chan, maybe 2 or 3.



4Chan is good for a couple of laughs, then it gets disturbing, then you get thsi dirty feeling, then you die a little inside, then its funny again, then your eyes fall out, then its funny again, then youv had enoguh and leave.



4chan is not how it used to be. The continual popularisation of it by people has led to a decline in what made it so great. You also get these newfags who think they are part of some elite hacker organisation by going on /b/.

Take my school as an example of the increased popularity. Practically all of the years below me (7-10) spend their whole day making motivational posters and lolcat images, which aren't even funny. It pisses me off because they don't know what the hell they are doing and where it came from.

Now it is just full of cancer threads. Bring back snacks.

I thought 4chan was an anime O.o , all the cool kids apears to be using this ... so must I !!!



I went there to check out the dark sense of humor, and tbh, only a small %age of the posters there have it, the others dont. I did love the morbid humor some of the posters excel at, though. Im not really disturbed by it, as i like to believe that the people limit this behavior to the web-site only
