Exactly. 95-98% of the threads on any given board are just terrible (much, much higher for /b/), but occasionally you do stumble across a real gem.

This thread -> http://chanarchive.org/4chan/mu/48368 for example - if you have time, read through it. Tons of hilariously nonsensical stuff and quite a bit of insightful statements and good discussion.

See, this is the sort of thing I'm talking about...I click on that link, and the first thing that I see is a banner ad offering me "18+ Sluts from Facebook...get a blowjob tonight!" and some rotter with jizz on her cheeks :roll:

Everything on 4chan except /b/ and /pol/ ranges from okay sometimes to pretty good.

That's not an official 4chan site. There's like 5 different websites that archive old 4chan threads.

If you dont want to see nsfw content then don't go on any of the nsfw boards...

http://catalog.neet.tv/

This makes browsing the site much better, being able to see all threads on one page is amazing.

yeah chanarchives all run nsfw billboards. That's def. a bad move if you're in the office. On the other hand, the most obscene thing you'll see on the front page of 4chan.org is maybe a thumbnail of a loli under "recently shared images"

Just run adblock, people. That should be a given even if you're not browsing 4chan.

/b/ is fun when you're bored, just ignore the porn and gore threads.

9001 because it's over 9000.

so it's a board hosted by a bot that won't allow text posts that have been posted before?

Really really unfunny website. I gave it a go with a mate a few weeks ago, and probably vaguely laughed at about 1% of the content.

Curious, does "Day[9]" have anything to do with this? They've flooded this vid for some reason, I don't understand the internet 85% of the time

I don't follow sites like 9Gag or 4chan but from what I gather 4chan despise 9Gag for the stealing of their ideas/meme's and then water-marking them as their own.
It's almost like 9Gag is the commodification of meme's if you want to go that far, and churns them out/devalues them for your average user, whilst 4chan is much more niche and arguably creative.

the watermarking is not as bad as the misuse/overuse of memes
