Revision as of 10:50, 31 January 2010
This article needs to be cleaned up to be written in a slightly more satirical and comfortable tone, plus to include more information. You can help by editing it to make it cleaner and pitching suggestions on the discussion page.(January 31, 2010)
4chan is a popular image board, which is basically like a message board with picture and words. People post topics about anything from anime to video games to pornography.
Though, mostly...porn. Which is ironic, since the creator of the site wasn't even 18 yet when he created it.
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.
4chan's Shenanigans
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.
Habbo Raids
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.
Surprisingly (or not-so-surprisingly), they're still at it. 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.
The Boards of 4chan
