[[4chan]] is a bad place on the [[Internet]].

== History ==
[[4chan]] was founded by a bunch of [[Something Awful]] people. It [[grew]] [[World|very big]] quite fast, and managed to do so with an ever-decreasing signal-to-noise ratio. Nowadays, it's pretty much entirely random, and filled with people who think playing around with other peoples things is [[cool]]. If you enjoy having your sanity and your [[myspace]] free of [[FREE RINGTONES]] then avoid this site like a [[plague]].
If that is your kind of thing however, by all mean, [http://img.4chan.org/z/imgboard.html sample 4chan today!]

== Alternatives ==
* Any [[Kusaba]]-based board. They all look the same, really.
* [[iichan]] - "Like what 4chan would be like if /b/ had not taken off".
