What's 4chan's reputation as "scariest internet website" based on?

[aeuhe4yxzhds]

Its by people who don't know about the Deep web.

Yeah like you, who do not know what the Deep Web actually is. Huge facepalm here

/vg/ is a good board for actual game discussions instead of this shit house. Just ignore the waifu posters and the occasional retards

[Baelic]

4Chan is most notorious for /b/ and pretty much the birthplace of Anonymous. The boards themselves can either have a good community or a shit community depending on which board you go to, /a/ /v/ /vg/ are typically much more tame (and probably even more mature) than a lot of other forums.

/wowg/ is absolutely terrible, easily one of the worst generals.
Other games are better though. Witcher general is top tier

Probably because it's not a heavily censored circle-jerk of double-think like most websites.

[Kalmakk]

4chan's users are harder to shitpost at. They end up disregarding any post that contains an emoticon, exclamation point, "lol lmao haha hehe", etc. Basically if you see this, you assume the poster is trolling or retarded so you tell them to leave. Here people get baited easier or even worse, the OP was sincere and more equally horrible sincere posts follow.
This is also a fan forum for world of warcraft, so cringier posts are probably going to get made

That's the trouble. People here don't know a shitpost from their own shit, so it feeds endlessly and gets more and more frustrating to read the longer it goes on. It's getting worse, too. The community here is so divided on almost every topic, and on so many different topics, that a good discussion about just about anything is impossible.

Probably because it's not a heavily censored circle-jerk of double-think like most websites.

If you think 4chan isn't a circle jerk you need to lurk more. Silly manlet.

Anyone remember Rotten.com?

ITT: MMO-C posters having a more civil discussion about a completely different website than they do about almost any other topic

4chan's /b/

It's not that bad, haven't been there in a while though.

/b/ is 99% porn and 1% weird shit.

[The Stormbringer]

The cringe.

[Jester Joe]

You know, sad as it is, I think I agree on the MMOC shit posting. I've gotten annoyed and pissed by what people say here (when I'm lurking, let alone posting) exponentially more often than I ever have on 4chan. I don't know what that says more about; MMOC or 4chan.

Probably because you expect bad from 4chan.

But like others have said, most of the horror stories of 4chan is from the past. Usually when my friend would go on /b/ a month or two ago, it would either be nudity, YLYL (or whatever) threads, some gore, and that stupid banana.

Doesn't need to be approved by the mods and the founder.

If a cp thread appeared every 5mins in MMOC, the place would be known as a hot spot for that kind of shit. No matter if its approved or not by the admins.

You're simply incorrect. There has never been any influx of child pornography on 4chan.

I wonder why people even use /b/ for YLYL. /gif/ and /wsg/ are great for YLYL

[Hexian]

4chan /b/ is a shadow of what it used to be.

I remember when I started lurking on there back in 2008...

[Dug]

I still occasionally browse /mu/ for circlejerks and banter on shitty albums/artists

You know that to pedos its probably far more convenient to share it on a site that does not put a lot of effort in removing it?



Using MMOC as an example is silly, you can't upload pics to it.

wow dude, amazing argument, it totally points out what is wrong with it!

Not really a brony (though I have watched some of the show), I just like Twilight's annoyed stare and eye roll.

/x/ went downhill a while ago, It used to have fun threads like creepy urban exploration and cryptozoology but the last time i was on it it was a bunch of tulpa and roleplayers.

I used to visit /x/ when I needed some creepypasta to read.

That was years ago, and now I do not know where to look. /x/ devolved in to a circle jerk of conspiracy theorists that usually had nothing to do with the Paranormal. And there's those Tulpa discussions for sure. I sometimes wonder what happened to cause that change, but then I do not think of it much anymore.

It's not that bad, except for the traps. And browsing it in public is usually an bad idea.
