What is 4Chan?

[Maybe]

I just tried going to /b/ and it said it was down?!

Yeah, it's down at the moment. Has been for a short while...

I went through some "best of 4chan" stuff and found some pretty funny stuff. I couldnt find anything epic like what Kez was talking about though. Just little funny pics.

The best stuff on 4chan posts ALWAYS get deleted, members get banned, and they usually form on other "secret" chan boards where many of the legends still visit. Obviously, tainting the name and reputation of anonymous can cause legal problems for site owners.

Although, I'm sure you didn't search hard enough. Hell, with a simple google search I've found hundreds of classic 4chan "attacks". The harry potter megaphone thing was easiest to find, as the videos of the events are still on youtube.

I think that might've been one of their "attacks."

Alright, you want some examples?

Well the main problem is that when most of this shit went down, it was a long time ago. This was a time when YouTube didn't make you watch an ad before you could actually watch the video. A time before the comments were just full of jokes about the dislike bar or Justin Bieber. Most of the offending videos will no doubt have been deleted with the massive commercialisation of YouTube. Many of these shits happened at a time when getting a million views on a YouTube video made you like #8 of all-time on the whole site.

The Harry Potter spoiler video in question I was talking about is this one, which I always remember seeing on YTMND, mainly remembered for it's "NOOOO YOU BITCH!!!" at the end which is frankly still hilarious.

This video is pretty fucking funny, it interviews the MySpace dude and it's the definition of exaggeration. The yellow van thing especially is funny. Just in general the whole thing is stupid.

The problem is that it was so long ago. People cracked down, the videos got deleted. Anything truly bad that we could mention will no doubt be gone. A lot of this used to be archived on Encyclopedia Dramatica, which itself just very recently sold out and turned into OhInternet. So all of that shit's gone too, all the mirrors of the videos. Finding shit like this is gonna be very very very hard now to be honest.

I heard this one guy kept posting random pictures of some chick and random places and the police found the places in the pictures and found the chicks dead body there.

Kez do you know anything about this?

I heard about this, but I wasn't there for it. That was in like 2008 I think, but I don't know anything past that about it. Pretty weird shit though.
