it is my side web favorite

Described as an image-based bulletin board, 4chan (www.4chan.org) is a website modeled after a Japanese forum called Futaba Channel. People use 4chan to primarily share images online about a variety of different things as well as post comments in a thread-like format.

There are specific image boards on 4chan for specific topics, ranging fromJapanese anime to videogames, and each board has been assigned a semi-random name. The Random board is called /b/ board, for instance, and it is where users can post completely random images and comments.

Much of the content on /b/ board however involves shocking material such as pornographic images and racist or misogynistic comments. As the most popular board on 4chan, it's no surprise that the recently-stolen images of nude celebrities first appeared on 4chan's /b/ board.

Apart from famous hacks and wide-scale pranks, 4chan users have been allegedly responsible for popularising many internet memes such as LOLcats, Rickrolling, Chocolate Rain, Pedobear, etc. Check out 4chan's FAQ page to learn more about the site.
