Thats interesting. And 4chan had only one guy (moot) managing all of this makes it even more impressive.

By the way, some of the posters commenting on 4chan degrading morality. This is an anon forum and its just a reflection of our society! The Guardian summarized 4chan as "lunatic, juvenile... brilliant, ridiculous and alarming". Perhaps the best description for 4chan.

And remember 4chan gave us LolCats, Memes, Rage faces etc.

P.S. By the way, why did mods kill the other thread?

4chan gave us a voice. We are now legion.

Shared culture, sure - but it showed us there was an "us" to share that culture among. Its real effects are much, much larger.
