As many have heard on the news, 4chan’s somewhat infamous administrator, Christopher “moot” Poole (known affectionately by his followers as “fag”), is moving on to greener endeavors, leaving the “Anti-social media” site’s day-to-day operations to a reliable team.

Many have been confused by the fact that this made national news, as they usually associate 4chan with a “hacker subculture.” In fact, for eleven and a half years, 4chan has been the single-most prolific collection of Internet “random” that exists, garnering over 42 billion pageviews. That it has very few rules regarding content — and even a few subject-boards with no rules — has earned it a reputation as the delicious, gooey center of twisted, sick Internet humor.

If you’re still sure what that means, 4chan can be summed this easily:

4CHAN Anon: "Fuck off and enjoy your shekels you fucking faggot. You won't be missed. What's next for his career?"  Anon: "Where do we go now?  8can is filth. redit is shit. Wat do"  Anon: "We could go out and talk to people in the real life world."  Anon: "Honest answers pls."
