I found 4chan by GunZ Online - I went to a GunZ IRC channel that was hosted on WTFux.
I think the IRC server was wtfux.ath.cx
Anyway, I was interested in what 'WTFux' was, so I went to the main site, and the imageboard got me hooked on some pictures of porn, etc.
Then after further lurking I saw them post about 4chan, it got me curious and I lurked 4chan a bit; it had some high quality pictures and everything was so and so. I have been lurking @ 4chan for the past year.

I asked for anime porn, and this guy gave me links to 2chan and 4chan. I remember back in the day I only fapped in /s/ and /h/, then gradually the more i browsed 4chan the deeper I went, going to /d/, looking for monsters, rape, then finally i ended up in /l/.
I heard of this site on New Grounds in the middle of 2005. Of course, being the elitist assholes they are, the NG users only said bad things about 4chan. But because they kept on complaining and bitching about how terrible this site was, I decided I should see it for myself just to see if it was as bad as they said. That was the last time I posted on NG.

I guess you think you're being clever by "raiding" a shitty game and "owning" them with pitiful jokes, but the joke's on you- they make money from banner ads and you're helping out by visiting their site. Dumbass. See, it's this exact same reason why Gaia Online isn't moderated much (only really moderated to ensure no one posts any illegal contenct like child porn). It's not as if trolling will make any members leave, but it does give them many more hits. Go ahead, help a shitty game. Why not raid Habbo again while you silly "nigras" are at it? By spamming "MAKE A NIGRA CHAR AND BLOCK TEH POOL IN HABBO HOTEL" will only bring in more people who might even pay for the in-game coins. Raiding Habbo and closing the pool has helped Habbo quite a lot. You idiots are becoming what you hate most. If I was your parent I'd beat you until you bleed excessively. I do assume you live with your parents still, being... What, twelve years old? Probably not even that much. It's kids like you that make me believe that public education systems throughout the world fail. You ought to be ashamed of yourself; you're wasting your life away doing absolutely nothing. Might as well kill yourelf before you realize how truly pathetic you really are.

Found it on FBI list of top most discreet websites.
I came here when more and more "lol funny reposts" popped up in my MSN, from the same address. So I went and looked. Suddenly I understood why images dissapear quickly over time ;)

A friend of mine one day told me he'd become a /b/tard. Curiously, I inquired. He gave me the link to this site and said "Careful, it will consume your soul.
Now I don't have a soul.

I was trolling on a forum, calling bitches my property etc. And a guy from 4chan was doing the same thing and asked if I was from this site. I wasn't, but i thanked him for showing this place to me.
After running headfirst into enough Internet memes, I found out about the chans. 4chan merely caught my interest from the message boards. After that, we connected, almost surgically.

ED.
No, really. See, I ordered my Viagra, and the guy who delivered it to my door asked if I liked mudkips. I thought he was talking about something kinky. So after getting fucked in the ass by a pokemon, he introduced me to 4chan. I wonder if he thinks I'm gay.

I leared about 4chan through 2ch.net as my Japanese isn't very extensive... I was certain I could find an English version of this site... I stumbled onto world4ch.org and when they merged back, I became a /b/tard also.
Saw it here, they warned me about you. Bush is good.

i found 4chan when i saw that thing on fox news and i LMAO. So that day i decided to become an anonymous to make peoples interbutt lives miserable as hell. Cause thats what being an anonymous is all about annoying people so much that they wanna kill them self and then say "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"
I saw a weird Japanese flash animation about cats shitting on each other, googled a bit and found out what 2chan was then found 4chan because I couldn't speak Japanese. Was about 3 or 4 years ago.

I came to 4chan looking for the densha otoko experience, but found lots of losers calling each other fag, newfag and nigger. This is why they will never make a Densha Otoko America:
"I have lurked here but today I saved a lady from a drunk on the train"
"pwned nigger!"
"go kill yourself"
"Redcream says fuck"
"Was drunk a jew?"
I HAD A CIEZURE AND NOW IM TRAPPED IN THIS PLACE!

There was this message board I used to go to years ago (before the admins became all fascist, but they deserve what they got) and the site was down and they said 4chan did it. Curious to know who this person was I found out it was this site and has been hooked since
btw, thanks anon, the site's down for good now. Guess legion always wins.

heres how it starts
if i hadn't watched the penut butter jelly time flash i wouldn't have know about ebaums world.
if i hadn't known about ebaums world i wouldn't have known about fredryk phox.
if i hadn't known about fredryk phox i wouldn't have known about furries.
if i hadn't known about furris i wouldn't have googled it and saw the encylopedia dramatica article about furries.
if i hadn't known about encyclopedia dramatca i wouldn't have found 4cha.

Im getting pretty sick and tired off assholes like you who have nothing better to do then copy and past the same fucking thing in every post. We here at 4chan shoul'dnt have to put up with rude and annoying members coming here and taking a hard poo all over our threads. It is simply unacceptable and it is rude and anoying. It will not be tolerated in my forums so it should'nt be tolerated here. I am contacting the admins and they are going to remove your patethic posts!
