4chan...You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Copy-Pasta

4chan is an English language imageboard based on the Japanese imageboard Futaba Channel. This imageboard is based primarily around the posting of pictures (generally related to anime, manga, and popular culture) and their discussion. The Guardian describes it as "at once brilliant, ridiculous and alarming."[1]

The site and its userbase have received attention from the media for a number of reasons, including posts containing terrorist threats against schools and sports stadiums, attacks against Hal Turner on his Internet shows and distributed-denial-of-service attacks against eBaum's World and taking part in Project Chanology.

Many internet memes have originated there, including lolcats and rickrolling.

/b/

The "random" board, /b/, is based on the Nijiura board of Futaba Channel. It is by far 4chan's most popular board, as confirmed by statistics released by 4chan staff and by the publicly available post count. As of March 27, 2008, /b/'s post count has surpassed 70,000,000 posts whereas most of the other boards have yet to break 250,000. Only eleven other boards (/a/, /co/, /v/, /k/, /m/, /r/, /s/, /h/, /tg/, /gif/ and /g/) have accumulated more than 1,000,000 posts (/a/ and /v/ each having over 9,000,000). After /b/'s 31,000,000th post was made on June 16, 2007, it took just 9 days to accumulate another 1,000,000, meaning /b/'s posting rate had attained an average of more than 111,000 posts per day. Certain post numbers, such as 12345678 and 22222222, and the aforementioned milestones, are sought after, with a large amount of posting taking place to "GET" them.[10]

/b/ is known to officially have a "no rules" policy, save for a ban on certain illegal content, such as child pornography and invasions of other websites, both of which are inherited from site-wide rules. This "no rules" policy applies to administrator and moderator actions as well, meaning that users may be banned at any time, for any reason, including none.[11]

The humor of /b/'s many users, who refer to themselves as "/b/tards",[12] is often incomprehensible to newcomers and outsiders, and is frequently characterized by intricate inside jokes and black comedy.[13]
