Exactly. 95-98% of the threads on any given board are just terrible (much, much higher for /b/), but occasionally you do stumble across a real gem.
This thread -> http://chanarchive.org/4chan/mu/48368 for example - if you have time, read through it. Tons of hilariously nonsensical stuff and quite a bit of insightful statements and good discussion.
If this is the future, it seems highly livable: shiny, cool and comfortably dissonant. Like a low dose of ketamine in an empty, luminous airport hall in northern Japan, eating avocado and waiting for the universe to arrive.
See, this is the sort of thing I'm talking about...I click on that link, and the first thing that I see is a banner ad offering me "18+ Sluts from Facebook...get a blowjob tonight!" and some rotter with jizz on her cheeks

That's not an official 4chan site. There's like 5 different websites that archive old 4chan threads.
yeah chanarchives all run nsfw billboards. That's def. a bad move if you're in the office. On the other hand, the most obscene thing you'll see on the front page of 4chan.org is maybe a thumbnail of a loli under "recently shared images"
Just run adblock, people. That should be a given even if you're not browsing 4chan.

so it's a board hosted by a bot that won't allow text posts that have been posted before?
genius, really. prevents stale content, copypasta, forces you to elaborate on your points.

I don't follow sites like 9Gag or 4chan but from what I gather 4chan despise 9Gag for the stealing of their ideas/meme's and then water-marking them as their own.
It's almost like 9Gag is the commodification of meme's if you want to go that far, and churns them out/devalues them for your average user, whilst 4chan is much more niche and arguably creative.
