Did you miss that thread?

All the anons voted for him.

It's amazing how an icon of such a filthy site is the most influential. I strongly feel bad for these generations as they get older.

Several threads. It spawned the 'all hail moot' escapades.



The site isn't filthy, the people who frequent it are; including you, newfag. Don't think I haven't noticed.

I feel dirty.

I don't go to 4chan.. I was totally turned off when someone started to post nude 8 year olds claiming that it was their sister and that they get turned on when they hug. I'd easily go insane and more than likely on a killing spree thinking every human was a devil if I hung around 4 chan.

HAWT

I once was pretty opposed to 4Chan. I'm not even going to lie. Then again, I never went there before. Out of all the forums, I'm guessing you hopped on /b/ one day when some perverted douche posted CP. The pedo bear got him, the thread was deleted, the IP was banned. Sorry you had such a bad experience.

Ya.. I like keepin in touch with Anon via IRC but I don't really like going to 4chan. I know it's very random since that's the point of Anonymous.. to just discuss random topics whether they're off the wall or simply, enlightening. But I much prefer to stay away lol

I figured you were a f*g. You drop some anontalk/l33t speak from time to time lol.

Its all good.

i don't know anything about 4chan other than it's really really really ugly. i can't comprehend how the founder could be the most influential person though

moot has accomplished what micron has not; create a webforum that influences the entire country in some way or another

Fixed.

afraid to say the entire world in one way or another, even

well 4chan did influence podo's fashion style in a good way.

not all of 4chan is gross like tama says. just don't go on /b/

and lol @ tama denying he doesn't go on 4chan. f*ck outta here.

o.o;;

I really don't go on 4chan. Majority of the terms you guys see... that comes from Anon themselves lol... I really wish I could give you the channel on IRC but it's out of my jurisdiction, serious.

LOL ILU

4chan is a billion orders of magnitude worse than CB. It's filled with millions of stupid copycat drones that think they're part of some super elite secret club. They go around the internet congratulating each other for being /b/tards, thinking that their shitty metahumor is funny, when it only serves to make them look retarded.

The only thing it has going for it is the variety that comes out of the sheer volume of posts being made every day. When you're throwing piles of shit the size of mountains, of course some of it is going to stick.
