4chan (YO-tsu-ba) is an American version of the infamous Japanese Futaba Channel. On 4chan, many pictures from around the world, most famous from anime and manga are posted and critiqued. There are also discussion forums in the style of 2ch. Most notably, due to bandwidth concern and growing internaitonal leeching, Japanese computer users cannot access the site unless requesting permission.
Like most message boards, it has its own range of in-jokes, although many image-based gags are permutations from 2ch.
Forums including Japanese animation content are Cute, Anime, Yaoi, Hentai,Yuri & Lolicon. Cute Male was later spawned as a preadaptive solution to both content too softcore for the Yaoi board and the (arguably sexist) outcry against male characters in the Cute forum.
Random, Photo, and Sexy(Women) are broader in scope. Random, which allows some degree of commentary akin to light trolling, is treated with some derision as it houses a large amount of SA fans purportedly uninterested in anime content. The catagory is also uncomfortably vague for some as it may contain internet shock site imagery quite randomly (pun intented)
Many fans are vocal in keeping posted pictures apporpriate to boards, especially to even traffic content and avoid incuring anger among forums (Lolicon vs Cute, whose content spills over ocassionally, debates are the most common.) A now tongue-in-cheek commentary to misposting a picture inappropriately is gb2/
