#3: chans (AKA camwhores)

Moar info: Camwhore.

Camwhores need to learn this.
How sick fucks appreciate camwhores.

Since the dawn of the interwebs, there have been attention whores. With the easy availability of webcams/digicams/cellcams, these attention whores have more and more ways to seek attention and (d-)evolved into today's camwhores. Here are a few (semi-)notable ones.

#4: Websites

A comparison of some of the chans out there in 2007.

Moar info: List of *chan boards.

Once upon a time, some hikikomori Elevens got the brilliant idea to make the Internets equivalent of writing naughty messages and phone numbers on a greasy bathroom wall and made an enormous fucking website about it (completely unaware of Usenet). Some weeaboo basement-dweller went off to make an English version because he thought it was the hottest shit around. Since 4chan is the largest of the English-speaking chan sites, it has spawned millions of ugly, disgusting, retarded children that exist either to support furfags or to cater to some geniuses who wish to get away from 4chan's fascist rules or dumb moderators. Currently there is only one serious contender to 4chan, but it is super duper t0p 5ekrit.
