  • Speedy Delete: See above -KH !zfV2AchvNE
  • Strong Delete: Absolute faggotry. unfunny. invites more chantards into ED. Seriously, ED was way better before all the chanfags showed up and started pasting IT'S OVER 9000 and all their other overused shitty memes all over the place. --zaigerI'm in ur talk, shakin mah fishtalkplx 13:33, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete Fuck 4chan. Crazyconan Wanna chat? 22:21, 26 January 2009 (CST)
  • Delete I just eyewitnessed a pic of a cat licking out the vagina of a teenage girl on /b/. THE FINAL STRAW. - Raspberry Rush (talk) 22:30, 26 January 2009 (CST)
  • Keep WE CAN END THIS CHAIN OF VENGEANCE HERE AND NOW Image:socashsig.gif (talk) 22:40, 26 January 2009 (CST)
  • Delete 4chan more like core fan amirite? Pink Poodle *yap* Minichatot.gif 22:43, 26 January 2009 (CST)
  • Delete Do it. For the lulz and for great justice. ED has been shackled to the chans, and we need to tell them that we are NOT CHANPEDIA. This would be a fine first step. Also, cocks. HedgeJew 22:58, 26 January 2009 (CST)
  • Delete 4chan is gay.

  • Delete nothing of value will be lost. --Theburk 23:50, 26 January 2009 (CST)
  • Delete 4chan has ALREADY gone the way of the dodo bird. Screwed by newfags, raped by bullshit and is the cancer that is killing ED. Moar focus on not so fail chans and other interbutts/IRL drama would be better. 4channers will shit brix and graet justice will be achieved. This will be chemo! Also I got a Permab& (appeal reviewed and denied) for REPLYING to a thread and would be happy to see this shit done.

--AnonFTLD 00:03, 27 January 2009 (CST)

  • Delete I don't think many people would care if the article is removed. --Gallentesmall.png Pierced Anonymous Talk! Gallentesmall.png 06:12, 27 January 2009 (CST)
  • Keep but Merge with Shit - First Officer SuperWhiteWat ­- From the lulzdeck, this is Your Captain Speaking *Ding!* 06:41, 27 January 2009 (CST)
  • Delete we give those freeloaders free traffic and get nothing but newfags in return, fuck them. Solarius 06:59, 27 January 2009 (CST)
  • Delete 4chan is much like being raped. Afterward, no matter how many showers you take, you can never wash away the shame. Dysrythmia 18:47, 27 January 2009 (CST)
  • Delete: moot indirectly called me a pedophile with no general sense of direction. :( He also crippled sage for all zip boards even though only the retards at /a/ were misusing it. ~ Krade hi yo~ 19:16, 27 January 2009 (CST)
  • Delete: KILL THE CANCER I EAT MUDKIPZ 13:13, 28 January 2009 (CST)
  • Delete: "Kill them! Surely the Lord discerns which are his." --Yuri.niko 18:13, 29 January 2009 (CST)
  • Delete: Why the hell not? --Human Resources 01:11, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep: It's not 4chan's fault if you were banned for being a fucking retard. If you can't figure out how to get around the ban, you don't belong on the internets, or deserve to be an ED admin, for that matter. Khaefre 03:19, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Explain: how I was being a fucking retard. I followed shitposting to /b/ and was inexplicably banned by the faggot mods there.
.

 »»What 04:53, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

  • Explanation: I dunno, what was the official reason you were banned? Khaefre 05:01, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Reason: Something like "posting in a CP/personal army/dox thread." My offense? Telling /b/tards who kept recreating Brendan Lash to, and I quote: "get fucked".
.

 »»What 05:06, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

  • Options: That's a bit ridiculous, seeing as how that's 3/4 of /b/, and if they banned everyone that replied to those threads, there's be no one left. You can email moot, contact a mod on IRC, or dick around with proxies (Tor is blocked, AFAIK) until you find one that works (most I've seen are banned because people use them to post CP). You might also just consider waiting around a bit and seeing if it changes. I was once permabanned for something similar, and my appeal was denied, but after a few weeks I'd noticed that they'd changed it to a month-long ban. My guess is that it keeps people from perpetuating those sorts of threads, which is pretty retarded as it clearly doesn't do shit. Khaefre 20:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • lol: I'm elite enough to have bypassed the ban already, even before I posted this VFD. It's the principle of the matter.
.

 »»What 20:56, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

  • Principle?: About 4chan? Isn't this below you and the rest of ED? --Stumbles 03:39, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep: because i'm a faggot -thespammer 03:23, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep: So we're getting rid of a page documenting one of the initial cornerstones of internet lulz just because some fag's butthurt over being banned? Give me a break, gaiz. Just because forechon has turned into the epitome of cancer and fail, that doesn't warrant the deletion of the record ED contains. I agree with the reduction of focus on the site to prevent ED from becoming some kind of wikichan, but 4chan is an essential part of the history of internet drama. You cannot deny credit where credit is due. For lulz. For great justice. For Seaking. allismine 03:31, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • I for one cannot find a single lul in this article, let alone lulz. I reads like it was written by moot sucking fanboys tbqh. --zaigerI'm in ur talk, shakin mah fishtalkplx 04:47, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • There is no such thing as a m00t fanboy, either everyone hates him or is apathetic about him. --Stumbles 03:39, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete: Because it would be funny and piss off the three people above me. ~ endedrural (talk) February 6 2009
  • Delete: Because we can. Chunkmunky 04:10, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete: Because 4chan is boring Pandamandan87 04:23, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep: I'm with Khaefre and |Allismine. So what if someone is butthurt, fuck him, since when does E.D. care? 4chan is epic fail, causing us major lulz, why forget the phail when we can lulz at it? - Flyinpigfetus Message 04:44, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Get Fucked: ED cares because I happen to be one of the founding members, that's why.

 »»What 04:53, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

  • Old: KH is old.
  • Delete: I agree with AnonFTLD, Solarius, and Zaiger. TractusVicis Talk 04:56, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep: Pare it way the fuck down if you wanna stop sending them so much traffic. Its utter failure also tends to generate a heckuva lot of lulz. The fact that Faux freaks out about it makes it worthy of an article on here. And, finally, even if you do delete this article, ED will probably always be intrinsically linked to 4chan and all the chans anyway. Irish Curse 08:09, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Abstain: I do not feel strongly one way or the other as to the outcome of this discussion. And really, who should? Quiveria 10:02, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep: Newfags use ED to read up on memes and related forms of cancer, then proceed to ruïn 4chan even more(I am aware this is impossible). Thus, keeping the article will ensure a steady flow of newcomers wondering what 4chan is all about first going through here, adding to the cesspool of fail that is /b/, and hopefully generate some ad revenue in the process. User: ANONetherlands 14:00, 6 February 2009 (GST)
  • I would have never have found out about 4chan if it wasn't for this article. --03:39, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep: Fuck the BAWWW about /b/ being full of newfags. Deleting this article isn't going to change anything about 4chan. Besides, ED should be committed to the documentation of lulz, not the appeasement of a bunch of 12 year old boys who are butthurt that their secret club house isn't a secret anymore. -Hookytulip 16:56, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete Because this place has turned into another Chansite when it was never meant to be. Poor editing, and seeing over 9000 on every page bring site quality down. Heyqueer 21:47, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete Delete this fucking pile of fail.````
  • Keep How can we NOT have an article for 4chan? Where would we be without 4chan right now? Nowhere, that's where! Even if 4chan is deleted, we still need an article to remember how great it was. We simply cannot delete this article and there's no reason anyone should think otherwise. The only people who want this article gone are butthurt newfags who can't accept the fact that 4chan exists. Don't be a newfag. --Ragumshnagum 14:26, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Eternal September: Where would we be without 4chan? In a much better place, that's where. You can't even deny it. 4chan is the AOL of internet forums.

 »»What 17:14, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

  • About even? The deletes out number 2 to 1. m♥♥t faggotry denied! -Dysrythmia 04:15, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep: I may be wrong, but this seems akin to protesting Scientology by removing the article on it from Wikipedia. Sure, it might piss off a few people, but in the end the wiki suffers for missing an article on what is, for better or worse, an influential and noteworthy site. If we deleted the article to every site that we had a problem with, we would have much less content on the site, and most of the funnier articles on the site are about sites that most ED users despise. I agree that something has to be done about 4chan faggotry, but there must be better plans that wouldn't make ED less complete as an encyclopedia of internet related phenomena. --Krazy 00:39, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
    • Not really changing my vote, but i just went through the article and realized it's mostly bullshit about minor drama, while the sub-board articles, along with the articles on victims of 4chan themselves, have the real lulz, so if it isn't deleted I propose it at least gets cleaned up a lot. I say we just redirect it to Boxxy or Shit or even Chan--Krazy 01:03, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Anything but Boxxy, please. --Stumbles 03:39, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
  • FUKKEN KEEP: 4chan may be be the asshole of the internet but that doesn't mean we don't need the article discussing it. Deleting this article is contrary to ED's mission of documenting the drama and the lulz. Deleting this article because m00t or one of the other admins wanted to act like an Anon Talk faggot and ban one of ED's sysops over something stupid is the more fucktarded than half the shit I say on ED IRC. Face it, 4chan is a major influence on internet drama just like livejournal and deviantart; all equally worthless. The article itself needs some major edits like getting rid of 4chan drama section, Admins, and all the other shit sections that aren't even a paragraph. Keep the imageboard guide, although edit it first. ED needs an article about the place of origin of all these raids, victims, and memes (good and forced). Also deleting this article won't affect m00t, m00t most likely doesn't give a shit about a website thats is has an Alexa web ranking of 6,235 compared to his 969; plus he is $20,000 dollars in debt because of that site (LOL, someone mention that in the article), so he has real problems to worry about than ED's petty feud over 4chan. --Stumbles 03:39, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep: The ED BAWWW fags wouldn't exist without 4chan --FuckingLAWL 17:44, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Abstain: Because this page is tagged as "In Jokes."--Image:Duckhuntdog.gifThe InspectorImage:Duckhuntdog.gif 17:52, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete delete delete: Moot personally called for the mass bannings of all users discussing a typical /b/ page topic. Burn the current 4chan page to the ground as an object lesson. Nothing of value will be lost. If someone wants to rebuild on a sound foundation, absent the fail of the current page, so be it.
  • Delete: fucking everything cletus 01:53, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep but shorten or something like that. If delete, redirect to 'cancer'. Epic Fail Girl 12:26, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep: This is a little late. Seriously, what would ED be if 4chan did not exist? It probably wouldn't exist in the same manner. I understand a lot of Channers edit on here and overuse memes but all we have to do is ban all these fucks and then everything will be better. Peace. -MATTY X (OH SHI-) 23:23, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep: 4chan is worthy of documentation for Internet drama. Therefore, it should be kept Jdire 02:29, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete and have MysteryBot eliminate every [[4chan]] link on ED. Create a new 4chan stub, lock it, and relegate it to the appropriately titled Template:oldweb. Require anyone who wants to post tired memes to write an essay of 500-1500 words describing why they think that linking to or referencing these memes will make ED better in any way.
  • Strong Delete get mootle in an arbchat stat, dude has alot of explainin' to do. --Spacey 01:27, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Nuke & Rebuild Just like we did to Japan. -- The Game nipple Also, Cocks 15:33, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
