There is also a thing called creepypasta which is defined as:
"Any form of writing, usually fictional, that is read mainly for the purpose of spooking the reader. Anybody can write creepypasta, and there is a large collection of creepypasta on the internet. Creepypasta doesn't go through any approval processes — rather, the more the /x/ imageboard requests a certain story, the more reputation it gains. This is how the more well known pieces of creepypasta became successful."
I'm basically gonna use this space to post my favourite /x/ hoaxes, and posts from www.creepypasta.net |
Also - I don't "get" 4chan and it makes me feel old and "out of touch" with the culture of the Internets (this has come up before with YOU and your talk of TWEETS and MEMES and
#WHATHAVEYOU). When I try to surf around it, I get a lot of hentai. Now there's nothing wrong with hentai, but when I want hentai, I'll search for hentai!
Example: I assume that this is the board you're talking about
:
http://boards.4chan.org/x/
The ad across the top is for hentai and I scroll down and I see pics of women's nether regions! :eek:
MM! Where are you SENDING me?!
GET OFF MY LAWN!

It could just be that I'm retarded; I've become a UI snob and when I hit a site that has an awful User Interface I get really frustrated with it... I honestly don't know what I'm looking at here. Please explain for us old unhip folks.
