Something Awful user who, on observing the reactions anime gets in the SA Forums and beholding the superiority of Japanese imageboard technology, gathered some fellow goons and decided to enact their dream of making an community-based, anime website where one did not have to pay 10bux. And he called it 4chan. Time and space may never forgive him. 4chan was once a happy and fun place; however, that soon ended around 2003. There is no reason to ever visit 4chan imageboards ever again (except for reposts of porn).
