paid site now

It's impossible to post on 4chan now unless you pay them first. The article should mention this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8807:C600:21C:7105:D06D:DF0D:DB18 (talk) 07:29, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

you should add the theat against stortinget to the article

2 bomb threats was posted against stortinget on april 2th. source: nrk. links can not be possted however. i did try. 84.208.108.74 (talk) 11:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

/qa/ should be noted

I feel like the board Questions and Answers should be considered a notable board on the article, the reasons for this is that many memes and iconic images were birthed onto that board, the board was originally used as a meta for 4chan but later ended up being repurposed as a meme board. Jimmybingus (talk) 13:54, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

@Jimmybingus I agree, but there aren't many papers documenting 4chan culture in general, much less for Hiroyuki's bizarre mess board. If you can find any for us, I would be happy to collaborate with you. Ornov Ganguly TALK 14:54, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Section about lingo/terms that 4chan uses/invented?

It should be noted to editors that 4chan has had a big impact on the internet, without a lot of people realising, a lot of "lingo" derives from 4chan, could it be possible to make a list? Ven3u69 (talk) 15:12, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

It may need to accompany a reliable source, as many sources that caters trivial content like Know Your Meme and Urban Dictionary which have an extensive coverage of internet culture are User-Generated, which means anyone can edit, just like Fandom and YouTube. So, expect anyone who is from "UTTP, AUTTP, THDTC," makes these Klasky Csupo Videos or steal a piece of media and pretend it is I did x to y videos, albeit Vyonders or such several niche cartoon, VHS or TV Logo fans that appears in sporadic corners on the internet, edit in these websites, which greatly affects the reliability of a UGC Source. They might be seen on Fandom Wikis (e.g. Go!Anipedia) but rarely on Misplaced Pages due to incompetence to edit and already perceived bias pattern in other wikis. I see one "Logo-Editor" on Misplaced Pages, who is obsessed with Noto Serif, but couldn't find his account.

However, Misplaced Pages is not a dictionary, So just ask consensus from other editors if you want to include this list to this article, because I'm not that of a WikiExpert. However, there is a page on Wikitionary of slang and lingo of 4chan origin.
