I hate that this shit is considered by some people to be an important part of internet culture.  If GW were a group of reasonable, intelligent people politely conversing at a dinner party, 4chan would be the blind paraplegic retard kid choking on his own tongue in the corner. 

Whatever happened to bog.org?  I used to go there on occasion, and it was worse than what I remember 4chan to be like.  I haven't been to 4chan in years, but from what I remember, it was just fucking retarded. 

I think it was bog.org.  I can't even remember.

I hate that this shit is considered by some people to be an important part of internet culture.

but it IS an important part of internet culture. as much as we all hate it and find it annoying and stuff, it's impossibly to deny how much of an impact it has had.

I have never been to 4chan.

you're a better man because of it.

i attribute my lack of innocence to 4chan.

Just like 9/11 is an important part of our history.

Just like 9/11 is an important part of our history.

...are you trying to deny that 9/11 isn't??

No I am saying that just because something is IMPORTANT doesn't mean it's GOOD.

4chan IS a big part of internet culture, it's just a really SHITTY part.

I was basically agreeing with missingno.

Actually, it would be a group of retarded kids roughly 2000 times as large in between everybody trying to talk.  You really can't take a small portion of the internet like GW, where rules are enforced and civility encouraged, and act like it is representative of any decent portion of internet users.

Sometimes, the high-regard in which some of the members hold this community sickens me.

You only say that because you've been going to 4chan for years!

Seriously though... do they not have anything better to report on? Or was this written by some jit college grad that was just hired and somehow convinced his editor that this was a good idea. 4chan is horrible and they should be ashamed for even acknowledging it's existance. I couldn't imagine anything less relevant than some shitty internet subculture that exists only in image macros and rick rolls.

[and because this and the faggy bandwagoning thing GW seems to have going is actually pretty disgusting]

I've never been a 4chan regular, though. I just go there from time to time as I find that if you don't actually frequent /b/, it's a funny and quite useful place to hang out from time to time.

What really bothers me is this whole aura of superiority in here... Like, what the fuck? It's not like GW is the prophet of internet sites... We got our own "memes"/GWisms... We got our own weird sense of humor of which I don't understand like half... Some people like Chef and DrFunk back then (I don't know now) raid other shit too... I mean... Where did this "WE ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE" feeling come from? We're just another internet forum.

That's....not really what I was doing.  I would like to believe that there are other communities which possess a number of creative, intelligent users out there other than GW, though.  As in, other places that are essentially the antithesis of 4chan. 

Maybe it was a bad metaphor.

So you're a member here but you don't hold the community in high regard?  I don't know what kind of kinky shit you're into, but I generally only make my presence known in a community that I consider to be, you know, worthwhile.

We're not 4chan.

In any case, I have absolutely no idea what 4chan is except that weird and dumb shit come out of it. 4chan definitely doesn't sound like a great culture to me at all so I don't understand why anyone would want to glorify it.

You'd probably like it quite a lot aten.
