4chan is a website where users can post to threads anonymously. This website features several boards, including multiple anime and manga boards, a "science" board, among us many others. The site is infamous for its multitude of trolls, website raiders (defunct) and pornography posters on its misc. and NSFW boards. Due to the uncensored contents of the site, it is a goldmine for memes ideas, especially on /diy/, which mainly consists of depressed and lonely plumbers who also have a taste for tone-deaf statements. An unknown 4chan user along with others created the Rules of the Internet, which are usually either laughed off or used as the bible of Internet conduct. An especially famous rule is Rule 34, which states "There is porn of it, no exceptions". This is followed by Rule 35, which states "If no porn is found of it, it will be made".
History
All of this website originated from a man named Christopher Poole while in his bedroom, taking on the name "moot". He intended 4chan to be an American version of 2channel mainly focusing on anime and manga. After obtaining and using 2channel's source code, he started an anime/general and anime/random. The channels eventually split when more channels were created. During its early days, the boards consisted mainly of hentai, yaoi, cute and lolicon. The lolicon board was removed after being disabled for a week. Other than that, all of those anime/manga based boards remain today, maintaining a userbase consisting entirely of bots within its bounds.
