Fortune

#fortune is a forced meme (forced on 4chan by moot) where by typing #fortune into the name field of another of 4chan's forums submitting a post there and returning to /b/, one of a dozen-or-so, random Fortune Cookie type fortunes is generated automatically. This, of course, provides much hilarity for the gaiafags of /b/ (who have figured it out) when newfags come lurking and start crying "How do I shot #fortune?" Placing a fortune in a post before text can also serve as a means of demonstrating that one is not a newfag, as newfags commonly do not know how.

UPDATE

Bring back that unnecessary, unfunny fortune function that nobody ever liked to begin with? WHAT A GREAT IDEA!

~~Last Thursday~~ Friday, moot added the #fortune option to b again...this may prove cancerous. ~~As of June 1st, 2008, it is still present.~~ GONE AGAIN, thank fuck.
