About memes

No matter how fun they are, what kinds they are, memes are determined to be used. They were born by usage; they have to keep existing by usage, too!

So, where are internet memes being used? It’s the topic I am going to introduce today.

4Chan

"4chan is an English-language imageboard website. Users generally post anonymously, with the most recent posts appearing above the rest. 4chan is split into various boards with their own specific content and guidelines. Registration is not required, nor is it possible (except for staff).[1]"

As you can see above, except it’s image-based, 4Chan is similar to PTT, a text-based forum also containing anonymous post. As my view, some boards on 4Chan are not appropriate for normal people to browse, such as /b/.

"Gawker.com's Nick Douglas summarized /b/ as a board where "people try to shock, entertain, and coax free porn from each other." /b/ has a "no rules" policy, except for bans on certain illegal content, such as child pornography, invasions of other websites (posting floods of disruptive content), and under-18 viewing, all of which are inherited from site-wide rules.[2]"

On some boards, however, you can enjoy browsing some fun, satiric posts about each others, such like /int/, which stands for International. If you like manga, anime, or other Japanese subculture, there is, of course, /a/, for Anime & Manga.

Summary

I have introduced the famous forum in the western Internet, but feel free to develop your own! See you next week!
