4chon was an imageboard website that gained some notoriety in the early 2010s, particularly among internet subcultures. Here's what is known about it from various sources and general internet lore:
Origin and Purpose:
4chon was created around the time when 4chan, another infamous imageboard, was experiencing significant changes like the removal of certain boards. This led to the creation of 4chon as an alternative by users who were dissatisfied with the direction 4chan was taking. It was particularly popular among users from boards like /r9k/ and /new/ which were deleted from 4chan around 2011 by its founder Christopher "moot" Poole.
Content and Culture:
The site was known for its lack of moderation, which led to a free-wheeling environment where users could post memes, engage in discussion, and share content that might be too controversial or off-topic for other platforms.
It had a reputation for fostering highly political, often right-wing discussions, along with a range of other topics from video games to anime.
Community and Impact:
4chon had a small but dedicated community. It's remembered for being a hub where internet culture, memes, and political discussions intertwined, sometimes contributing to the spread of certain internet memes and ideologies.
The site was also known for its influence on internet culture, contributing to the spread of certain memes and the development of online anonymity culture.
Technical Aspects:
It was built using a software called Tinyboard, which was also used in other imageboards, including the later creation of 8chan (now known as 8kun).
