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.

One of my facebook friends joined the 4chan facebook group. In b4 cancer, etc. I'm not sure if I should be grateful or not. But I cannot unlearn that which I have learned, alas.

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.
