WSJ- Research on Google Inc: "Most recently [Google] has begun discussions to acquire the website 4c - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Ermac20;35997707]almost everyone here judges 4chan because of /b/ the other boards are all fine[/QUOTE] allot of the posts here are defending 4chan, especially over reddit

[QUOTE=Mad Chatter;35997341]What makes you say that?[/QUOTE] he won't reply or if he does it will be about the cp subreddits

[QUOTE=areolop;35997060]I hope they do, and shut it down. That place is filled with scum, and many pedophiles.[/QUOTE] the internet as a whole is fulled with scum and many pedophiles, do you suggest we shut down the internet

[QUOTE=Nikota;35997766]You do know that there's about 30 other sections right? Hell, the tabletop games section they have is fucking amazing.[/QUOTE] notice he said web traffic and popularity, not that there aren't plenty of good sections

[QUOTE=TurbisV2;35997788]the internet as a whole is fulled with scum and many pedophiles, do you suggest we shut down the internet[/QUOTE] yes

the source of all pedophiles is earth, shut down earth

[QUOTE=Craptasket;35997726]Most of the web traffic and most popular section of 4chan is /b/. if you say 4chan isn't shit because of some remote cherry picked part of the site, then you're just fooling yourself.[/QUOTE] There are tons of other people who visit 4chan for other than /b/.

[QUOTE=Ven Kaeo;35997213]I can see it now. Every time 4chan brings down an Apple related website everyone that participated gets $5 from a mysterious sponsor. Suddenly Apple websites are down 24/7, tech support is impossible, sales cannot be made. Apple stock plummets and the company goes bankrupt. Google, you marvellously evil genius you.[/QUOTE] They are just following in the footsteps of the evil corporation micro$hit which did this in 1997 do you not remember the glorious leaders of technology were brought to their knees in an event not dissimilar to a terrorist attack how else would apple fail. No but seriously, how would this benefit google? Surely a company whose primary product finds information could figure out that 4chan would not react well to being bought, especially if google tried to monetize it somehow

[QUOTE=TurbisV2;35997824]the source of all pedophiles is earth, shut down earth[/QUOTE] what about alien phaedophiles shut down universe

[QUOTE=Ordigenius;35997869]what about alien phaedophiles shut down universe[/QUOTE] You guys are missing the real solution there can't be pedophiles if there's no kids just get rid of all the kids no problem

I sure as hell hope that this doesn't happen (it won't, but still). I mean, where else can I randomly call people Niggers?

[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;35997856]There are tons of other people who visit 4chan for other than /b/.[/QUOTE] And? There's still a larger part who's there purely for /b/ And let's not forget what happens when someone from /b/ decides one day to check out the rest of the site. [QUOTE=Scar;35997905]I sure as hell hope that this doesn't happen (it won't, but still). I mean, where else can I randomly call people Niggers?[/QUOTE] Do you have a uncontrollable urge to-do so? If yes, seek help.

[QUOTE=valkery;35997776]I find reddit and 4chan to be horribly uncomfortable to maneuver around on. They just seem un-intuitive.[/QUOTE] same with SA, how is it possible for a human being to visit that eyesore?

[QUOTE=Van-man;35997912]And? Do you have a uncontrollable urge to-do so? If yes, seek help.[/QUOTE] Shut up you Nig- No I don't, I simply said that for teh sake of comedy

[QUOTE=The Baconator;35997928]same with SA, how is it possible for a human being to visit that eyesore?[/QUOTE] Web 1.0 Guess they love retro site design, where the only colors used are light grey, and dark grey. [QUOTE=Scar;35997941]Shut up you Nig- No I don't, I simply said that for teh sake of comedy[/QUOTE] I don't see how that's funny at all

[QUOTE=areolop;35997060]I hope they do, and shut it down. That place is filled with scum, and many pedophiles.[/QUOTE] And all of facepunch are pretentious judgmental ass holes. I forgot whether or not I am being sarcastic.

Once you look past the racism, homophobia, blind hate, stupidity, (attemps at) trolling and scamming, it's actually...I forgot where I was going with this

4chan is pretty shitty, but it has its moments.

[QUOTE=JustGman;35997984]4chan is pretty shitty, but it has its moments.[/QUOTE] Same could be said about any popular website.

[QUOTE=Scar;35997905]I sure as hell hope that this doesn't happen (it won't, but still). I mean, where else can I randomly call people Niggers?[/QUOTE] Garry's Mod RP servers.

[QUOTE=Van-man;35998014]Same could be said about any popular website.[/QUOTE] Sometimes I wonder why I even browse Facepunch.

[QUOTE=The Baconator;35997928]same with SA, how is it possible for a human being to visit that eyesore?[/QUOTE] I know. It's something awful, alright.

[QUOTE=koeniginator;35996951][url=http://secure.marketwatch.com/story/research-on-yahoo-inc-and-google-inc-internet-information-providers-always-looking-to-grow-2012-05-17]SOURCE[/url] I can't even imagine what would happen[/QUOTE] why would you even post this article please never make a SH thread again its obvious bullshit, there's literally no evidence of the claim, no background information regarding the claim, and the entire article is just a massive advertisement for some bullshit stock website.

I always thought that soon, google will own everything and i was okay with that. But i never though about 4chan, that's like trying to own the world's atmosphere. Shit won't happen.

[QUOTE=Van-man;35997912]And let's not forget what happens when someone from /b/ decides one day to check out the rest of the site.[/QUOTE] Many people from 4chan think of /b/ as often being a beginner's phase. You go through a phase when visiting 4chan where you think /b/ is awesome, after a while you start visiting the other sections, and only then do you realize that you don't want to go back to /b/ ever again.

[QUOTE=Simski;35997224]moot has stated that he simply dislikes taking donations and won't be implementing such a system again anytime soon. I can't exactly remember the reason why he doesn't want to take donations, but my guess is that he doesn't want its users to feel worried that he'd holding the website hostage for a ransom, or that he doesn't want to feel too indebted to people donating ridiculous sums, or he doesn't want to make people believe that he's running the site for a profit. Contrary to popular belief, he's actually a pretty swell guy. [editline]18th May 2012[/editline] It's a bit like having santa claus be the ruler of hell[/QUOTE] He even had a [url=http://www.ted.com/talks/christopher_m00t_poole_the_case_for_anonymity_online.html]TED Talk[/url] a few years back on the importance of anonymity.

[QUOTE=Craptasket;35997726]Most of the web traffic and most popular section of 4chan is /b/. if you say 4chan isn't shit because of some remote cherry picked part of the site, then you're just fooling yourself.[/QUOTE] Erm, most of the internet is shit, does that mean it's a logical conclusion to call the entire internet shit? No, it isn't. [url=http://i.imgur.com/WCumB.jpg]Besides, /b/ literally less than 30% of the entire board[/url], I'd hardly call it 'cherry-picking'

[QUOTE=koeniginator;35998458]Erm, most of the internet is shit, does that mean it's a logical conclusion to call the entire internet shit? No, it isn't. [url=http://i.imgur.com/WCumB.jpg]Besides, /b/ literally less than 30% of the entire board[/url], I'd hardly call it 'cherry-picking'[/QUOTE] The picture is missing /3/. Of course, /3/ is probably the slowest board on 4chan, so it's not like it matters.

Buy 4chan, shut it down. I can see google doing the great deed.

[QUOTE=Van-man;35997943]Web 1.0 Guess they love retro site design, where the only colors used are light grey, and dark grey. [/QUOTE] I remember it being something to do with the sheer amount of posts.
