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 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[edit]
4chan has had a lot of influence over pop culture, even going to the point of Rick Astley rick rolling various crowds during the 2008 Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends Thanksgiving Day Parade float. Yep, you heard me.
Not only that, but they brought us this masterpiece.
Habbo Raids[edit]
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. And it worked.
One of their recent raids happened on December 1, 2009; on World AIDS day. However, due to 4chan's 'No Invasions' rule, raids aren't allowed to be planned directly on the site. Not to mention that Habbo now has special scripts that ban people for making an avatar with a business suit, black skin, and an afro.
The Boards of 4chan[edit]
Categories:
/a/ - Pictures and topics about anime and manga.
/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.

/c/ - Cute anime is featured. Mostly involving bunnies, penguins, cats, and other things like that.

Memes[edit]
4chan, being an imageboard, is naturally a cesspool of various memes such as LOLcats, Advice Dog macros, Bel-Air'ing (basically a variant of the Rick Roll), and a lot of other...randomness.
