In 2002 Something Awful was the place to be. Next came YTMND, and from 2003-2006 4-chan was the greatest thing ever. So what do you think is next?

It's unlikely, but if 4-ch were to suddenly explode in popularity I wouldn't be too surprised.

The only way we'll become popular (which would be horrible) is if one of us hijacks a bus and does some suicide bombing.

GTFO GAIAFAG!

>>7 even then I bet 4chan would get the credit.

4chan is filled with a bunch of kids who claim they don't want to become popular, then when they do, they do everything in their power to exploit their presence as some 'Anonymous' entity by raiding. Yet they still complain when new people drop by.

In short, they're a ship of fools. They become so full of themselves that they'll keep sailing north until they crash into ice. At least /b/ is like that.

Back in the older times we really didn't want to become popular.

Fuck off.

And with the Scientology raid, now their fantasy is to get into the history books.

15 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2008-02-05 19:14 ID:Heaven

No it's won't. A couple of minute-long television reports and a few magazine articles doesn't mean anything. I mean, it's popular on Digg, but Digg is a lot less important than Digg users like to think it is.

>>14 said that's what the fantasy is, not what's going to happen.

Some people predict epic fail, where the Scientologists bring out the big guns and end up putting protesters in prison. Others predict epic win, where Scientology crumbles at the sight of a thousand Guy Fawkes masks singing Rick Astley songs, or at least it gets on the news, or at least they get laid at the protest.

I predict epic meh. Twelve guys milling around, a few in the one black suit they bought ten pounds ago to wear to job interviews. One dude in an afro wig who takes it off when he spots a black guy two blocks away.

I predict epic penis. Twelve guys with their penis out milling around, a few in the one black latex suit they bought ten pounds ago to wear to bdsm sessions. One dude in an afro wig on their sack who takes it off when he spots a black gay two blocks away.
