I think this is all quite amusing because people have all these sites with all these "complex" (aka old) humor on it when it comes down to it all I want to see is good ol' Anonymous slapping Cockmongler or Happy Negro on a random picture and laughing. Less thinking, more laughing. You go to SA or elsewhere, you have to pay for an account, and you have more rules and less lame response macros. I am sad to say I'm one of those idiots that have been tainted so much by 4chan that I start slapping overused responses onto other forums, and having to stop to explain 4chan. Then people come here, and the community grows.
I'm pretty sure moot said this at one point or another, "4chan is what the users make of it, there are good days and there are bad days." We just do what we can and besides the whole "4CHAN IS ALWAYS DYING" piece of it, we seem to be getting along fine.
