4chan

4chan is an English-language, anime-themed social networking and forums-based website. It was founded in 2003 as 4chan.net,[1][2]  but the domain name was changed to 4chan.org in 2004 by its owner, 4chan Interactive. 4chan originally began as an anime linklist  and eventually developed a small community,[2]  but, following a statement by founder Chris Poole (username "moot"), the website moved towards social gaming.[3]  It eventually became the forum-based website it is now.[4][5]  Today, over a million posts are made daily[4]  and it is visited by 7 million unique users each month.[6]  4chan also won the 2007 Webware 100 award in the Community category.[7]

Users of the site, known as 4channers, create a customizable avatar and a customizable virtual home for which they can purchase items using the virtual currency called gold, sometimes called a 4chan gold account.
