4chan is a 'Internet terrorist' group that should be made illegal. They've done things that brand their group that way, far worse then spreading porno. Finding peoples addresses and going in groups to beat them. Maybe one day the governments 'Internet cops' will stop only doing cases for money hackings, and start to tract these idiots down and charge or arrest them. And if their under aged brats, charge their parents so their parents can ground them or send them to be corrected.

Well, 4chan is just a group of Internet vanndals - they don't even take the effort to get up go outside, find a rock and heavy it through a window - what a buch of lazy geeks!

I have never understood the joy in destroying anything, I always feel sad when something breaks no matter how small old or inexpensive - I guess I am just too sentimental but I feel that when anything is destroyed we are all diminished.

I wish that I could find a way to channel their distructive energies to help people, they are tireless researchers, finding new ways to disrupt things - such a shame they can't put that energy into building things and curing diseases - they just din't have the time with all of the websites to distroy - the Internet is so big!

Love ya,

What? They track people down and beat them up ? I've never heard of 4chan. We're safe here aren't we? I hope I haven't divulged too much about me to allow someone the ability to come and lurk outside my front door! There's been things I've wanted to share but haven't for fear of someone trying to sleuth me out and bother me, but this is scary.

That's why it's so important not to give out any personal information such as phone numbers, email addresses, home town addresses, etc. What they don't know, they can't use against you. We have been attacked many times but none really sucessfully. Our security is good but not foolproof so be aware.

I went to the website, and it doesn't look like a group of hackers. It looks like just another forum.

Is there a hacker group within that forum??

Well the thing with 4chan and all the other chan sites is they are meant to just be imageboards. people go on and share pictures, photos, art whatever. BUT they also have pornography in some sections and the /b/ board is nothing but discrimination.

I guess some of you know about Anonymous? They're a group that hates Scientology and harrasses them is various ways. Well, that started from one of the the chan sites, probably 4chan, as on the boards there is no real membership. anyone can go on and post a picture. You can have you name on the post but if you leave the name section blank it says "Anonymous".

I think my point was that the internet terrorist group that everyone calls 4chan is really Anonymous users of 4chan. I've used 4chan to find pictures on some of the other boards and sometimes /b/ is funny. But I stopped using it once I realised how much stupidity there was. I just kinda wanted to point out that the bad guys are not 4chan users, just some who seem to hate their lives and so bring everyone else's to their level.

Perhaps its just the little (former) Anon in me that wants to nitpick, but real anonymous don't hate scientology any more than they hate any other things. Those who protest scientology and everything are not really anon, they're people who stole anon's name (probably from ebaumsworld ) to feel edgy. I'm sure they hate to be labeled as the group against scientology when there is so much more they hate.

But /b/ isn't the problem. Its the retards who consider themselves to be mightier than God because they can post goatse and not get in trouble, or because they can group up and make black characters on WoW and dance in the Stormwind bank shouting racial slurs (I was there. Its some kind of mass psychological hypnosis in that you have fun when you know you shouldn't be).

Sometimes /b/ is great. The laugh you lose threads (don't know how many there are nowadays, since I haven't browsed /b/ lately) are a riot, and some of the memes are really funny. But when you endanger reputations and lives, it gets to be a bit much.

And it is kind of sad that by posting anything against them, you run the risk of being hacked, of them finding your phone number and harassing you, etc.

[Guest April63]

So then 4chan isn't really a bad site, but there just are some people who use it that like to bug people.

[Guest Soph]

No, 4chan isn't a bad site. Its just a largely unmoderated site, so people can do whatever they want.

A bit? I hope that's an understatement.

Yes, it was an attempt at dry humor. I'm pretty pro at it, I know.
