The following is simply a rant. Don't take it too seriously.
Why the hell does everyone surf 4chan these days?!
I am getting sick of seeing people spouting anonymous-isms like "epic lulz", "[adjective] [nown] is [adjective]" (eg. successfull troll is successful"), "barrel roll", "shoop da woop" etc on normal forums like TL.
Using such expressions anywhere other than the chans or somethinawfull etc, just advertises yourself as A COMPLETE TOOL!!!!! Also, a statement is not made any more profound or amusing when expressed in the form of a motivational poster.
I've been lurking, and posting a little, on TL for the best part of 3 years and, correct me if I am wrong, it seems to have got so much worse over the past few months or so. No fucking surprise really. It happens on so many forums; someone posts a link to a vaguely amusing thread on 4chan.
Half the forum members know that the chans are the darkest shit holes on the net and ignore it. The other half think they have discovered some awesome subculture, adopt /b/ mannerisms and, lo and behold, another forum in infected.
The scientology bullshit just made this fucking worse by giving so much exposure to 4chan and it's ilk.

I think a lot of people use those without even realizing where they come from. I've used a lot of those (not on a forum mind you) and I certainly didn't know they orginated from 4chan.

Yup, same here.
I like some of the crap though.

my closest irl friends are chanboys, and they filter a lot of the humorous stuff to me, so it doesn't really bother me. i wouldn't go on 4chan myself, but hearing about some of the invasians & memes is pretty funny

agreed. 4chan and all those japanese whatever forums suck
|
It's funny, really. Most forums complain that they're turning into 4chan, and 4chan complains that it isn't what it used to be. This can even set up a bit of a chain: Slashdotters complain that slashdot is turning into digg, and diggers complain that digg is turning into 4chan. 4channers complain that 4chan is turning into fail (I don't remember exactly what, I haven't lurked there in months).

welcome to the internet

TL got worse because of the massive new reg infestation due to SC2
And the lack of Rekrul's banhammer!
Still one of the most awesome communities ever.

Lulz, epic thread is epic.

Haha that's hopeless then. I've made it a rule to avoid nico video as much as I could, so addictive with some of the other silly ones.

Even the 4channers hate that shit. If you go to any /b/ thread there's always some dude claiming "Damn it, THIS RIGHT HERE is the cancer that's killing /b/".
Although they come out with some pretty awesome stuff once in a while, SFW porn anyone?

Us V-Tech players have been doing it for years though.

That part was to be taken by a grain of salt The admins are doing awsum here, though they could ban a lot more newcomers to keep our city streets clean

Instead we should physically laugh out loud.

I think it is funny when people use it in threads that are SUPPOSED to be stupid and stuff, but when they use it in serious threads, it just isn't funny. It is only funny for me if I want it to be funny.
EDIT: I bet you the word chanism was invented on a chan.

i don't even know what half of this stuff means
what's /b/? and what's a barrel roll?
guess i'm clean huh
i always thought 4chan is an abbreviation for something

If I was a mod I'd give a 2 day ban to anyone who used any 4chan meme.
|
I think FakeSteve already does do that :p

These are now 'internet sayings'. I don't read 4chan, I don't read SA forums. I know all of these sayings and use them occasionally.
The internet has progressively become more and more a small singular community and mindset. It kind of sucks, but it isn't worth getting upset about.

Bad blog is bad.
No but really, I've notice the "4chan" explosion myself. Not sure why its getting worse...

it's because people talk about 4chan a lot and then some guy goes to 4chan and comes back like OMG GREATEST THING EVER. 4chan has it's good times like any other forum but some people are really bad at being subtle about it. If you read the early Pony Expresses I have at least 1 4chan reference in most of them, no one seemed to notice.
(maybe no body actaully read them...)

Before our college prevented mass emails the btards would regularly send their tardisms around from the account of someone that forgot to log off. It was pretty annoying having an inbox filled with mudkips and messages about the pool being closed every day.
Of course there were plenty of goatse-like emails too, but at least they had a purpose, unilke the inane drivel you get out of the largest meeting place of paedophiles on the internet.

LOLIS =/= PAEDOPHILIA

I've visited 4chan once to see what it is about, it's basically a site where you can't see what the fuck is going on I suppose some braindead humorless retard will enjoy all the terribly unfunny photoshops and laugh at them. It's also filled with perverted faggots who love mostly cartoon sex and are total japanophiles because western society doesn´t accept them.
Posting a 4chan meme should result in a 2 week ban.
