Editing 4chan

{{VidCaption|TBtpyeLxVkI|One of 4chan's fads.}}
'''''4chan''''' is a popular imageboard, which is basically like a message board with emphasis on images and usually humorous macros. People post topics about anything from [[anime]] to video games to pornography. 
Though, mostly...porn. Which is ironic; since the creator of the site, "moot," wasn't even 18 yet when he created it. In fact, he was actually 15.
It's also home to the internet group known as [[Anonymous]].

But to be truly honest, [[YouChewPoop]] shouldn't be insulting 4chan, as the majority of the [[YouChewPoop|YCP]] members are trying too hard to be just like it. Not to mention that almost everyone on YouChew likes at least one 4chan meme or something that became popular because of it.
==4chan's Shenanigans==
4chan has had a lot of influence over pop culture, even going to the point of Rick Astley [[rick roll]]ing various crowds during the 2008 ''[[Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' Thanksgiving Day Parade float. [[Yes|Yep]], you heard me.

Not only that, but they brought us [http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/8639/1272021384212.jpg this masterpiece.]

=== Habbo Raids ===
[[Image:Moot.JPG‎|thumb|moot, the founder of [[4]]chan in all his glory.]]
Aside from their various porn, one example of their various shenanigans is their various raids of the popular virtual world, Habbo. Various people, usually 4chan and additionally ''Ebaums World'' members, would dress their avatars as African-American people in business suits with afros and block the virtual pools claiming it was closed due to [[AIDS]] and stingrays (and occasionally "stingraids"). Other than the occasional mini-raids, on certain days there were extremely huge raids, with the various raiders crowding the room. Apparently, they were trying to be trolls by annoying the other players with their raids. Trying to make themselves look cool may have also been a goal. [[Not in a MILLION years|And it worked.]]

Surprisingly (or not-so-surprisingly), they're still at it as of today. One of their recent raids happened on December 1, 2009; on ''World [[AIDS]] day''. However, due to 4chan's ''<nowiki>'No Invasions'</nowiki>'' rule, raids aren't allowed to be planned directly on the site.

==The Boards of 4chan==
'''Categories:'''<br /><br/ >
/a/- Pictures and topics about [[anime]] and manga.<br />
/b/- The random board. Filled with nothing but nonsense, spambots, trolls, and porn! It is a constantly flooded because it is so popular. And since there are few rules, you can do almost anything. The afro blockers in [[4chan#Habbo Raids|the Habbo raids mentioned above]] would commonly make references to the board by speaking with / /'s around their b's. ("/B/ROTHERS, WE NEED /B/LACKUP")<br />
/c/- Cute [[anime]] is featured. Mostly involving bunnies, penguins, cats, and other things like that.<br />
/d/- Alternative hentai is featured; Tentacle rape, cat-girls, and other weird stuff.<br />
/e/- The ecchi section. Not necessarily hentai, but sometimes it borderline-hentai and people end up posting hentai anyway.<br />
/f/- Flash cartoons.<br />
/g/- Technology. Computers and stuff!<br />
/gif/ Animated gifs of porn.<br />

== Memes ==
4chan, being an imageboard, is naturally a cesspool of various [[:Category:Internet Memes|memes]] such as LOLcats, Advice Dog macros, [[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air|Bel-Air]]'ing (basically a variant of the [[Rick Roll]]), and a lot of other...randomness.<!--To-do: Expand section. Which I'm bad at.-->
