[edit] 4chan
It's worth noting that while a link to 4chan exists, it redirects to Anonymous. So, why does this chan site warrant an article, but the original does not?--AndYourFoesShallRejoice... (talk) 09:40, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
- Because I bothered writing it. Feel free to write a proper missional article for 4chan - David Gerard (talk) 10:05, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

[edit] 8chan in the news
And of course it's because of swatting. And the thread is still alive. Good job, Hotwheels! Typhoon (talk) 10:14, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Move the dirt on Brennan to another page, Jesus Christ. — Unsigned, by: 75.1.49.43 / talk / contribs
- It's his one claim to fame, so this is his page too! Isn't he lucky - David Gerard (talk) 00:23, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
[edit] "pissed at us"
Gamergate whines about RW a bit, but does that count as "8chan" per se? - David Gerard (talk) 15:53, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- I suggest a trip to /pol/, or whatever the 8chan equivalent is. Or just running the standard "links to RW" Google search.--ZooGuard (talk) 15:55, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- I've got ""rationalwiki" -site:rationalwiki" on a Google Alert, something from there angry at us comes up almost every day. Cømrade FυzzчCαтPøтαтø (talk/stalk) 16:02, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
[edit] No mention of Smiley?
You know, that strange guy who's in charge of /fringe/ who thinks he's a actual Wizard who can do spells and crap.--Madman (talk) 07:10, 22 January 2015 (UTC)The Madman
[edit] lolicon
Is that child porn without (actual) children?--Arisboch (talk) 18:14, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
- wp:Lolicon. Drawn erotic or pornographic depictions of pre-pubescent girls. And now my name is on some list.--AndYourFoesShallRejoice... (talk) 18:22, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
- 8chan does have a history of using it as a euphemism for the real stuff, though. Narky Sawtooth
(Floof!~) 18:25, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
- That is of course something completely different. Does the anti-child porn law say anything about drawn stuff?--Arisboch (talk) 18:31, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
- I was pointing that out for the sake of preventing confusion anywhere 8channers use the word. Also, it varies by area. I'm pretty sure it's illegal in Canada, by state in the United States. In the case of 8chan, they're hosted where it is legal. Narky Sawtooth

[edit] /sjw/
Norman stop adding this fucking section to the page. This one random self-declared strawman who owns a board on a website anyone can fucking make a board on allowing people to indiscriminately yell at him is of zero overall importance to 8chan as a whole. Learn to contribute better fucking material or convince me and everyone else here otherwise.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 00:20, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- I already gave you reasons why it's important. You chose to ignore them, and I'm not willing to repeat them. --Norman (talk) 00:35, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- Your reasons are shit. What does yelling at a self-declared strawman have to do with anything?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 00:40, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- So you can't claim to be an SJW without being a self-declared strawman? Is that what you're trying to say? Besides, whatever you're trying to achieve by cursing like a highschooler who thinks he's a sailor: It's not working. You just sound like a highschooler throwing a temper tantrum. I mean, every single one of your sentences in this discussion contains "fucking". Not sure who decided you'd make for a good mod. --Norman (talk) 00:54, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- No I'm calling the person who owns /sjw/ a self-declared strawman based on your description of the board. Also your deletion of shit that made real news is cute.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 01:01, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- I merely acted on your principles: Delete fucking everything, because why the hell not. And now, can you please tell me what a self-declared strawman is? From the strawman-article: A straw man is an intentional misrepresentation of an opponent's position. It's pretty clear from this definition that one isn't a strawman just because he happens to have opinions other people have too. Your pseudointellectual bullshit makes about as much sense as... well, everything you say, really. --Norman (talk) 01:11, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- No. I deleted the section you added because this week old board of a bunch of people being angry at someone who eliminates their anonymity and claims to be the SJW scourge is of no importance to anyone who gives a fuck about 8chan. Meanwhile, you deleted a paragraph that has an actual media source behind it which shows that the real world cares about that one particular topic.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 01:16, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- How exactly has nolongersilenced eliminated their anonymity? What are you even talking about?
- The question should not be whether the "real world" (whoever that is) cares about something, it should be whether they should care about something. You think any good journalist out in the real world acts on your principle that the public should only be informed about things it already cares about? Anyway, you've made your point clear. The second I see any news outlet mention /sjw/, the entire paragraph I'm written is back in. --Norman (talk) 17:46, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- Tech raptor won't count and I can't think of any news agency that gives a shit about a bunch of people yelling at one dude who set up a website just so people can yell at him for being their bogeyman.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 21:37, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- "The question should not be whether the "real world" (whoever that is) cares about something, it should be whether they should care about something."
- And who's to be the UberDictator to determine about what the real world should and should not care about? You? Sounds like censorship to me. I thought you GGers were against censorship. And about ethics, since it would be unethical to determine what speech the real world should be allowed to care about.
- I'd also like to have an explanation as to why you think \baphomet\ doxxing a federal judge and trying to sell that information to the highest bidder is something that should be deleted. Biddix appears to be another Robert Beale waiting to happen. --Castaigne (talk) 23:13, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

I've messaged nls on reddit and they've confirmed they are the owner of sjw, if that helps.66.87.79.124 (talk) 19:40, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
[edit] Proposed Overhaul
I'm considering covering the more notable boards in the style of our Reddit article, including /fringe/, /leftypol, the infamous /baph/, /mgtow/, /nambia/ and the new shiny /pol/. As thus, I am requesting we lock the page to auto-confirm as to prevent BON raids. --Madman (talk) 00:36, 16 March 2015 (UTC)The Madman
