Paranormal.


There is a paranormal section to 4chan? That's slightly scary. 4chan + conspiracy theories...

Well, that's a scary avenue to go down.

No, it's not. 4chan != /b/. :eyebrow:


And /b/ is more silly and boring than anything else anyway.

I read and post on /sp/ [Sports] and /n/ [Transportation]

I can argue that during the World Cup, /sp/ was a good place to post as there were threads on every game, and decent discussion.

What does my posting in non /b/ boards infer? Well mainly that I like sports and trolling, and I can get both there in a semi-instant form instead of having to wait for a published article schedule from sites like Kissing Suzy Kolber.

I don't have an opinion of them formed, tbqh. I think I've been to 4chan once, and that's about it. All else I've heard is from other people. It ranges from 'they do it for the lolz' to '/b/ is terrible'. I don't think I care much, one way or the other.

I lurk sometimes around /c/ and /u/

I've had a look in /b/ a few times and find it vaguely terrifying.

More furry porn would improve the quality of /b/ four hundred percent.

How does it need justification?

I believe I've already said, but I'll go through it again.

See, 4chan is a site that is known for facilitating large-scale harassment towards those who don't even participate in it. Those who post there are essentially contributing to that same site. One could instead take a stand and distance themselves from that website by refraining from participation in it. Those who instead post there should have a damn good reason.

Why not? Its easier to find the free porn that I like there. You do realize that 4chan=/= /b/ right?

go visit /d/ :lol2:


I'd argue it's what it's best known for and forms its core. I've personally tried to forget the anime sections even exist.

Entertainment is usually the reason people go to 4chan and its various boards.


^this. Only reason I don't comment myself and cause /b/tarded mayhem is because I saw pics of me on there :meh:

Seeing as how they continue to contribute to the same site... yeah, I think it's reasonable to judge them as a gorup.

Seeing how I browse the site... that means you are accusing me of being a part of every thing that "4chan" has done. The point of the board is that is anonymous and that there is no centralized part or even goal of the site. To blame EVERY "member" of 4chan for an act completely ignores what 4chan is.
