See, the thing a lot of people do not understand about 4chan is that it is filled with some of the brightest internet programmers/designers/viral marketers/computer geniuses you'll ever find in one place. But it is hard to realize this when you can barely look past all of the bad publicity, the bad things that go on there, the reputation it has, etc. As smart as they are, they use the forum as a place to release teh funnayz and for trolling (most of the time).

Someone in this thread earlier mentioned that it is good to check on sites like this to see the swinging trends of the internet, much like digg, reddit, etc. A lot of people that use internet lingo probably don't even realize that it was originated from 4chan, which is a true testament to their viral marketing abilities.

As for advertising on there, I wouldn't waste my time. Advertising on 4chan is like pissing into a sea of piss. Like I said, they're too tech savvy and are the poster children and advocates of not paying for anything.

Not trying to defend them, there's a lot of insane stuff that goes on there, but more or less trying to educate those that may not be aware.
