Preface:
Finally; I have achieved what many have called impossible. I have created an indepth guide on [s4s], against all odds. Feels good man, feels good indeed.. ow, do I e!pect this to become the board"s stic#y$ In a best-case scenario, I suppose it"s a possibility. %ut I leave that up to the mods, and all I really want is for the &'( this guide is posted under to be remembered. I want people to lin# others to this, I want it to be a )daily reminder) that *suua *suua has has made this this to help you newfigs newfigs out. +r, +r, if you"re not a total newfig, it"s still good to brush up on posting and thread-ma#ing s#ills. +r glae over what ma#es popular namefigsmemes. hatever the case, I welcome you to learn and ponder the mind of [s4s] in a new light, and to become the very best you can be during your stay. /nd remember, don"t always hate on the new guy, since we were all there at one time. %ecause I, for one, welcome our new figs. 'egards, 0amien *suua Quick Note: *his guide is written and targeted towards people who have little to no e!perience on 4chan or boards in general. /nd if I have seemingly missed anything, I suppose tough luc#. *his is an end-all-be-all guide, and I intend nothing to change. 'emember that [s4s] changes all the time, so details and memes are different every day. I*' I highlight the unchanging portions.

3o, you wish to master the arcane arts$ If you have been lin#ed to this post directly from [s4s], chances are you"ve as#ed one of the most fuggen annoying uestions I have e!perienced in my entire career on the board. )hat"s this board about$) *here is no easy answer unless you go into e!treme detail, which I"m going to do in a sec, but first let"s s#im over a few predilections and uestions people have when they first come to [s4s].
)Is this board li#e b$) In all honesty, I really don"t #now. I"ve loo#ed over b a few times, and have contributed a bit, but the only similarities I"ve pic#ed up is the posting structure. [s4s] is significantly
different than any other board in the way it is written, how people contribute, and how it progresses along. *he closest analogy I can thin# of is that of an ant colony. one of the ants are actually important, and most indiscernible from one another. *here is no true way to be recognied other than namefigging 8this will all be e!plained if you read the whole thing: since the styles of most anons are so incredibly similar. Dou contribute to the colony unconditionally, and all you get in return is really nothing, unless your +2 is repeatedstolen 8in which case suc#s for not using a watermar#username to trac# it down on 4plebs:. hat I"m getting at is that [s4s] should be viewed as an almost organic being, very fluent in its own culture. *he only #ey to understanding the board is to delve into the culture and pic# it apart, which is what this guide is meant to do.
)*his board suc#s worse than b, why is this cancerous abomination allowed$) 6ahem6 9i/l,in1 8b8 sucks *hese are the #inds of people that are Erude and should fug off. *hey have only been on [s4s] for half a wee#, tops. 1robably not even. *hey have become frustrated since they thought getting into the board would be an easy transition, but in all honesty it ta#es wor#.
)hat"s with you guys worshipping numbered posts$ Dou"re acting li#e complete btards.) *his is the #ind of poster who is yet to learn how to accept and find beauty in [s4s]"s seemingly diminutive culture. e worship number posts because that"s 9ust how it goes, I don"t #now where it even came from other than probably b.
(ocabular,:7
%efore even thin#ing about tal#ing of posts and what ma#es memes good, we have to touch base on the fundamental vocabulary and grammatical rules first. e"ll brush through the prior first, in order of relative importance and how I learnt them.
Fi1: *his noun, sometimes used to censor the word fag, is more commonly used in lieu of the word )figure), more specifically posters with usernames. It has many prefi!es
such as the following> Ne
*his is used to describe the #inds of posters who are generally ine!perienced, or ones that have 9oined the board appro!imately months or less ago. It is also, though more uncommonly, e!pressed as )newfag) 8if intended for offense: or )newfroge). Ol0fi1:
*his term describes posters who have been on [s4s] for multiple years, from the time of Gippo 0udee I suppose or maybe more than B years. I never really #new the specific timeframes, but you"ll understand when an oldfig is oldfigging. It can be very apparent due to the shit of newfigs drastically differing from the shit of oldfigs. +ccasionally you"ll see threads saying )+nly oldfigs would remember this) and post very archaic memes. /lso, I realie that there isn"t really a term for figs who have been here longer that newfigs, but aren"t uite that old yet. I have witnessed the term /e0iu/fi1 in circulation, circulation, but I thin# those #inds of posters are left untagged. -Sa/efi1: *his term summaries a name that is used by multiple posters, usually to degrade the targeted poster or to impersonate importantfigs. / notorious samefig is (uptron, I don"t even #now if he was ever an actual poster or if it 9ust became a common name to shitpost under.
*ETs:
5ery, ve-7<'D important. *his is almost central to the board [s4s], if there is anything consistent and predictable about the board, it is the )chec#ing) or simple recognition of when a post post has repeating repeating digits digits at the the end. It is usually accompanied accompanied by a picture of 1atric# %ateman 8see the common memes section: and greente!ts the repeating digits. *his can be split up into a few variations, slightly more significant than the previous one. 3adly, more and more scripts and bots are coming out to automatically post when a G<* becomes available. / more reasonable, )fair) method of getting G<*3 is to continually refresh the front page until you will be the poster of a G<*. Aany people ma#e conscious efforts to create interesting posts that preconceive the G<*, such as in postE?=H4JJ 8trac#ing down 4K4"d posts will be e!plained later in this guide: where not only does anon get the dubs, his meme"s hat has the e!act post number. In the rules section 8which I honestly thin# I"m the only one reading it due to the amount of figs attempting to do pseudo-mlp threads:, 'ule EB includes the clause )posting number G<*s) which 9i/lies that it is an acronym. 3adly, I have no clue as to what the G, <, and * mean. -Dubs: /h, the most common type of G<*. *hey occur every === posts, and an e!ample of
)chec#ing) them is found within postE?=H444J. *his is the most formal and very rare form of chec#ing, and is usually more in the form of postE?=HB4, or postE?=H4 if one wishes to leave personal comments to the dubbing post. -Tris> *his is a step up from dubs obviously, and occurs every ==== posts. *hus, they are not only impressive, but very possible to achieve if you attempt to snag one when [s4s] is going slow. /s a result, these generally get more attention than dubs and can be lin#ed to intra-thread, albeit rarely due to insignificance relative to other, larger G<*s. -Qua0s an0 so on: From here on up are the actual G<*s. *he aforementioned #inds are typically so common that all they merit is a pat on the bac#, but with uadruples of even pentuples, these large strings of repeating numbers generate a lot of attention and are generally largely accepted. 7owever, this is not always the case as scriptfags usually snag these G<*s for a uic# 9ab of humor rather than letting a random, unsuspecting poster get it and receiving lots of positive attention. In e!treme cases such as in postE?KKKKKK, mods had reason to suspect a script was used even though the poster acted as if it was a random thread. ith these fraud G<*s, threads are generally deleted. -Obscure an0 intraboar0 *ETs: G<*s are not always repeating numbers. 3ome are li#e postE=BBHHB where the 95==5 is a palindrome, and dubs can even be found li#e postE?=HBBH"s 955 seconds dubs. It also should be #nown that the chec#ing of repeating digits is only plausible in b and [s4s], and further only generally accepted on [s4s]. 3o, when uads or higher occurs in a different board, [s4s] users lin# to the thread in [s4s] posts. If the G<* is high enough, they may even feel tempted to go for it themselves. /n e!ample of a scripted, but very funny, G<* was LLLnJJJJJ where an [s4s]-goer posted a picture of the 5erdananan stic#y with the thread stating )I have only M,JJJ.JJ to spend on a bi#e, and want to buy one with a bas#et for my two rats 8pic related:. /nybody #now where to G<* one$)
I really wish 4plebs archived n.
>Fortune:
*his is a very nice function of [s4s], where if you put Efortune in the username section, your post will be generated with a random colored saying at the end, such as in postE?=HBCJ, postE?=HJ, or postE?=HB. It really means nothing, 9ust li#e 1rivilege, so don"t worry about it too hard if you get a shiggy one. *he mechanics of Efortune wor# Efortune wor# with usernames, usernames, even those those I*7 tripcodes tripcodes 8sadly 8sadly implying not all are are secured 0; 9tf< sa/efi11in1:.
Pri6ile1e:
1rivilege is a term that shows a slight similarity to pol 8intra-thread influence influence is shown later in the guide:, as it shows how )privileged) a user is based on race, ideology, upbringing, and so forth. *his is more common on [s4s] however, and is typically used for non-racist and non-discriminatory ways. If anybody posts a Erude comment, you can do as postE?=HHCC and call them out on this, and even downgrade dubs if necessary. 1rivilege is a fairly hard concept and term to grasp for new users, as it is has virtually no bac#bone and can be put in so many locations. It really doesn"t mean anything, though there are some online privilege uies and tests that grant you a number that goes either positive or negative. /n e!ample of one is http>www.bufeed.comrega9hahowprivileged-are-you , but there are many privilege chec#ers and all use differentiating templates of how privilege is gagued. *here is no legitimate way to test a privilege, so when an anon anon tells you to do do so, ta#e ta#e it as a simple simple e!clamatory e!clamatory..
Esfores:
*his is 9ust a simple way to say [s4s]. It"s really stupid once you actually realie it, I #now it too# me the longest time to figure it out, but if you sound out )ess four ess) it sounds li#e this term. *his is also used in other boards, such as fa calls neatly dressed people )effay), or the monstrous boards [a9p] are called ay9aypee 8or ay9aypeepee ;N0:.
Tokek:
Frosty story time. /nd we ain"t even on fuggen !. *his whole *ur#ish snac# meme 8which is sadly fading out into obscurity, glad I was able to meme it when I had the chance: originated long, long ago. It started when somebody too# the 0utch word )lol), translating to )fun), and made it an acronym for laugh out loud. *his got very popular, and eventually people started saying )lel) to put a new twist on it. 3omebody even made a meme of *op Gun, creating *op (el. 3omewhere down the line, original )lol) made its way to orld of arcraft. %ecause the ma9ority of players on o were Oorean, Oorean, a translation translation was was in order. order. It changed changed to the the acronym acronym #e#, and due to its its similarity to lel, *op (el changed to *op Oe#. hat habbened ne!t was simbly ebin> somebody must have forgot to put a space between the two words and image searched top#e#, and found the <*i company"s ca#e snac#. *hus, top#e# was made. /s stated before, it is indeed fading out and new forms of the meme are also clinging on by a few threads 8heh [s4s] humor:. *he most popular and recent of the variations is 1ot Oe#.
+a,/a,:
I don"t #now if this is common #nowledge, but it"s 9ust an e!pression of the word meme. 2ommonly used to announce +2 8original content:, and people will say it came from le maymay oven 8this is more rubbish as there isn"t an actual meme of the oven itself, but as as#ed in postE?KK???B and answered in postE?KK??BK, it"s safe to say it"s in Italy with Italiano Italiano Aan, notorious notorious G<*ter G<*ter of the ?KKKKKK G<*. G<*. 3till, I included included in in in the )Integral Aemes) section for history:.
oi uss,:
*his is an [a9p] term that we have to see a lot. /t a first glance I thought it was li#e dic#girls, but this time on guys, yet it"s actually 9ust describing a guy"s ass, a#a their technical pussy. 3ince it 9ust means ass, girls have boi pussies as well.
9Quotin1:
I haven"t really witnessed this on other boards as much as I have on [s4s], or at least for a time during the start of my career. *his isn"t the simple double right caret you use in response to somebody li#e postE?=H?K?, but the greente!t as in postE?=HHHKB and so on. hen somebody greente!ts, people on [s4s] tend to as# whowhat they are uoting from. *his does not happen as much anymore, but it is still as#ed if you go on with stories li#e !"s greente!t stories. It is meant to highlight a certain point of a post that you are responding to, an e!cellent e!ample of multiple uotes is in postE?=4CC=H.
Rusin1:
*his is a word used daily, so all this entry describes is its signifigance to the board. *he art of rusing is a clever art, and a s#etchy e!ample is in postE?=HBHJH. *hat guy probably didn"t really need it for homewor#, as pointed out in the thread. 7owever, most posts ta#e on a funnier and more open guise as to what they are rusing upon. / meme based upon rusing is the alruse maymay, but actually doesn"t truly get anywhere. / post that highlights a possible ruse and an accepted use of greente!t when not uoting is postE?=BCJ.
NEET:
Dou all #now what it means, )not in education, employment, or training). It"s a term probably carried over from [rC#] and is 9ust derogatory. (i#e #i#e, though that one usually stays in its pol roots.
ow, all those important terms aside, we can move on to the spelling of words on [s4s]. *his is a much shorter e!planation and has a few e!amples of common misspelt words. / good good place place to start start this e!planation e!planation is with the word word )ebin). )ebin). 3ort of how how lol slowly transitioned into lel, the word )epic) became epin and ebic before con9oining the two into ebin. hen something is very well done, or you see a nice G<*, you can call it )simply ebinP) +n a side note, this is the name of a meme that bluntly copies the po#emon 0ewott. It is sometimes confused with the meme 3purdo 3pQrde, due to 3purdo"s parlance and use of the word )ebin).
Ebin:
I #now this was e!plained in the paragraph, but I put it here in case people are s#imming through this guide. It"s important and I want newfigs to understand this word.
Fu1:
0ue to [s4s] claiming to be a wor#safe version of b 8though both are tagged 3F:, lewd posters and rude posters are called out upon. For the Erude posters, an epitome of what to do is in postE?KH=C postE?KH=CB B 8aside from from the showing showing [s4s] [s4s] to your children children part:. part:. Instead of fuc#, use fugP Instead of shit, use shigP 7owever, damn and hell are accepted.
enis:
/ misspelling of the word penis. /gain, posted this as separate from the Fug entry in case people are s#imming. )%enis) is a bretty common term on esfores.
3ometimes, board names are used in words. *his is common on other boards too, and the only one that I see on [s4s] common enough to bring up is btard. ow, let"s get to the main point of how misspellings are used in common parlance. *ypically, the letter is replaced with the letter b. *he letter c is occasionally replaced with the letter 1, and can go into more e!tremes. For e!ample, gan"t can mean can"t, or gaul mean call. ith words that end with er, it can be switched around to re. /s long as it sounds phonetically similar, people will understand. / bretty gud e!ample if postE?=H?==. hat is not accepted is blatant misspellings, such as the notorious lol u t# him ? da barR$ 0on"t substitute )that) with )tht) or )don"t) with )dnt). *he only truly acceptable
abbreviations are the standalone ones such as )bby), which are so common they almost count as a different word as slang.
Habituals of #s$s%
In order to post on [s4s], you need to understand what ma#es it uniue. *hus, we need to delve into the culture of the board, starting with some of the little things people do. For starters, it is very common to use te!t faces with a caret as a nose, i.e. >N0 or ;N:. /lso, as said in the closure of the 5ocabulary section, the purposeful misspelling of words can become uite common, and is a handy tool in diffusing tense situations by inserting comic relief. *o do so, I recommend loo#ing at some of the nice memes of 3purdo 3pQrde to get what I"m tal#ing about. Faces such as >000000000 and misspelt words such as )benis) are fairly common means of communication by lin#ing to a common meme. /nother small thing to understand is the meaning of #e#. 'arely used as its intended o purpose to mean )lol), #e# should mostly be viewed as the abbreviation of top#e#. *hough, in some cases, it is used as an e!clamatory such as )&' O
N0). *he 9o#e does not go deeper than this. uoting, as said in the 5ocabulary section, is special to [s4s] and revolves around 91reente?tin1. uoting in this fashion is meant to address certain portions of a post at once, and never should you greente!t li#e in ! without actually directly uoting a source. 7owever, greente!ting can be used when implying something.
Implying is another fairly large, but small enough inside 9o#e of [s4s] that includes a poster doing something li#e postE?=H4CK. *ypically a poster implies something, but they are wrong. *husly, you use the imply 9o#e to point out them being wrong. *here is a pin# tiger girl 8or something never #new the fug what it was: that will
say )this is a nice board) or )going to page [specify]). It"s 9ust a cutesy little thing we tend to do. /nother cutesy thing other people do is li#e postE?=H?= with a girl waving antlers. /gain, doesn"t ma#e much sense, whatever. Oind of li#e awoo 8postE?=HHCH:, but awoo does matter. Aany people say )birds aren"t that important. (ast time they as#ed me if it was my choice, would I say the same$ 7aving had considerable time to ponder their uery, my answer has not changed. +ccasionally, but not lately, there are threads about autism. %ut, that implies we aren"t all autistic. hich is probably why they all 9ust sorta stopped.. /nother nice thing about [s4s] is that it has a 'adio Aan who does a show every wee#. *here *here are also also cool things things that we go on, on, li#e www www.#ageshi.com .#ageshi.comroomss4s roomss4s,, www.plug.d9#e www .plug.d9#e# #, and more recently www recently www.onion.io .onion.io when when the printer demo is open. Fedoras, though traditionally coming from something li#e [rC#], have a small meme impact on [s4s]. It is synonymous with the word Eeuphoric here, and if somebody is being a large faget we 6tip6 our bedoras to him. /nother ve-hery small thing you might find find that migrated from [rC#] is the term )normals). *hen, obviously we chec# dubs. @ust reply to the post with the G<*, greente!t the repeating digits andor palindrome, maybe have a funnypositive comment. +r maybe we"ll call it Erude dubs if the post was being especially Erude. *hen we lin# to LLLb. +ur stic#ies obviously aren"t the best, and I really don"t understand the reasoning behind most of them. It doesn"t beg the uestion, but rather the statement mods are frauds. %ut they"re also bretty non-e!istant here, I"ve never detected any intervention other than postE?KKKKKK. that"s 9ust me though. Froge is a nice little meme that people 9ust copy and post often. (i#e in postE?K=4?. *here are some common replies li#e )what anime is this) 8regardless of what the pic is:, but it has been spelt so poorly there is now another phrase )what animal is this) or even )what an animal is it$). *here is also )why is this allow), typically pointing to things somebody doesn"t li#e about the board, li#e [a9p].
ow, as for the
people changes.
$lebs&or1
*he site is nearly imperative to [s4s] and its functions. It archives threads, even after they"ve 4K4"d, and you can use it to see ghost posts li#e the ?KKKKKK G<*, find specific users 8which is why it"s very handy to namefig - you can trac# yourself on the site li#e this:, and even loo# in a specific timeframe if you #now a post was posted between the ?4th and ?Jth. *o use 4plebs.org to loo# up [s4s], you can go to http>archive.4plebs.orgs4s or go to the homepage to clic# on [s4s]. *hen, locate the search bo! and type in your specs on what you want to find. *o loo# up posts, you simply put the post number in the general bo!. If you want to customie your search, fill in what is necessary in the pulldown tab. If nothing is found, an error will occur, so rechec# your pulldown tab to ma#e sure you don"t have too many customiations. *he website #eeps temporary coo#ies so you don"t have to put in every spec every single time, so ma#e sure to remove some if you don"t need them all. /t this point in the guide, I"m gonna be a bit more loose and type more li#e an [s4s]-goer now that terms and spelling errors are aside.
!!& CONTR!"T!ON T.e
/nyhow, before memes, we get to the chapter of figging. / common misconception many people have is that Figs believe they are higher than everybody else. *hough this is true for a few, it"s not inherently true for everybody. 3ome people temporarily use a name li#e )+1) so people #now which anon started a specific thread, or have a once-off funny one li#e )le Aastre 2hef). (uc#ily this false predilection doesn"t occur very often and namefigs are safe from scrutiny. In the case of myself and most others, it"s to document our wor#s on 4plebs. /lso in the case of myself but a few others, it"s to become #nown on an anonymous website. )+hhh but that"s fuggen stupid and ur"re 9ust a faget-) well tough fuggen tits, it"s my goal. If nobody every figged, we wouldn"t have Gippo 0udee or 2aptain Oe#. %retty fuggen important to be #nown if you #now how to do it right. 3pea#ing of which, here"s an insider"s guide on how to namefig and create successful threads in general. I"m going to save meme-type threads for later as it actually reuires a whole different chapter in this guide.
hen starting a new figure, it"s important to thin# of the name and what you represent. In my case, it"s a last name. In cases li#e /#ari /#aa"s, it represents an anime character and she avatarfigs 8by ma#ing a certain character or person ubiuitous with your posts:. posts:. %ut in all cases, cases, it is a co.erent na/e t.at @ust fu11en /akes sense . If you do someting li#e )!!dogeOillar!!) it 9ust sound stupid. 0o something nicer and more clean-cut, li#e maybe a )0oge 0avid) or a )%loody an#er). *hin# of it something li#e a name, not a username. Dou"re a figure here, not a player.
/fter you have decided your username, please lease do something most newfagets fail at.. Get a secure tripcode. +r a regular one. *hese are 9ust li#e passwords, and save themselves as a coo#ie so you don"t have to re-type them for every post. /fter you have your username ready, put a E or EE, then your )tripcode). *he tripcode itself is 9ust a simple word, and the number of hashtags states whether it is displayed or not. For e!ample, 0oge 0avidEAot3uc#s would show as Do1e Da6i0 [random 9ibberish li#e P?sdattGG]. If you did two hashtags, it would 9ust be Do1e Da6i0. %ecause the tripcodes are encrypted from one word into another, you don"t have to worry about about people impersonating impersonating you unless unless they"re they"re really out out to get get you and and put in supreme effort. I prefer the hidden EE tripcodes since it loo#s cleaner, but to show people if it"s actually you, then go with the shown #ind. %ecause it bolds the name and unbolds the tripcode statement, you can"t fa#e a tripcode. T.is is ,our fu11in1 ass
6/hem6. ow that the setup is complete, we delve further into what ma#es good posts. /t a glance, [s4s] seems to be a maelstrom of chaos and loo#s li#e people roll dice to decide which threads are better than others. *o an outsider this is virtually true, but once you integrate into the [s4s] mind, it all begins to ma#e sense. e"ll start small and thin# of how to ma#e uality 1+3*3 and responses. hen I was 9ust starting my [s4s] career, I thought it was all in ma#ing threads that included intricate memes. *his is not essentially true, as most of what anybody does is comment and reply to already e!isting threads. 3o rule number fuggen =, don"t try to be a flamboyant faget stealing all the attention. If somebody posts some +2 template, and you thin# yours is the best in the thread, don"t have some boastful post about it. %e nice and say something modest, li#e 9contribootin. If you go all out to e!plain your humor and praise yourself, the whole purpose of posting is lost; it"s not about you, it"s about +1 and what he"s sayingdoing. Dou are simply a pawn of the thread. 3ince [s4s] has such a variety of posters, one man"s mil#sha#e is another man"s cherrysha#e. *he spectrum of humor is so vast, that chances are only a few people glaing through the thread will thin# your post was best. *hey could chuc#le, but that"s about it because the
main focus is on the thread, not 9ust you. /nd a second thing about posting> you never actually #now how successful you are. Dou must adapt the mindset of )I"m going to download +1"s pic, do something funny, and re-upload. I might even dwell on the thread to see if I got a comment.) Aost people don"t truly realie how small they are compared to the wide scope of [s4s], but that 9ust adds to the beauty of it all. [s4s] is such a diverse board that newfigs don"t realie that until their humor is slowly integrated with [s4s] humor, and essentially they bind with the organic flow of it. / third thing about posts> not all of them have to be absolutely fe##ing spectacular. /lthough I"m not saying to have half of your posts li#e this, simple positive interaction li#e )nice dubs) or posting doges in doge threads can do wonders. *he little shiggy posts are nothing when alone, but when you have everybody in [s4s] contribootin", it"s something to behold. *his is one way [s4s] is a bit different than other boards, it"s because we ta#e it upon ourselves to do mundane tas#s in order for it to compound into a beautiful thread. 3imple posts are amaing when in large uantities. *here isn"t much else I can say about how to post, e!cept when you are replying to a thread and you"re tal#ing to the +1, uote him. *he first thing most people chec# are the replies to +1, and this can get you more recognition than if they randomly scrolled through the thread to find your post. /side from uoting +1, don"t call an uber amount of attention to your single post, li#e said before. /ll in all, because posts are insignificant little things, treat them as such. 0on"t go fuggen cray trying to call attention to what you 9ust did. *he only person that needs to be proud of you is yourself, nobody else.
3o now, we get into what ma#es uality *7'03. +oh, bretty fuggen e!citing ;N:. Dou 9ust have to have a few simple things in mind when creating a thread in order for it to be successful. I gave the guide to ma#ing uality posts before uality threads not 9ust to lead up to it, but for you to understand something before moving to the big guns. (i#e in biology, you learn the functions of a cell before a living tissue. hat many fagboats that go to [s4s] fail to realie is that they only care about the tissue itself, and pay no mind to singular cells. *hey are in it for themselves, which is what some other boards revolve around, which is thin#ing too big. Instead of thin#ing too big all at once, thin# of the tiny little cells. ithout a uality +1, no posterscells. o cells, no tissue. /nd thus your thread fails. 3o, when ma#ing a thread, ma#e sure it"s something that people actually would en9oy ta#ing part in. Instead of self-centered posts li#e postE?=HH4=K 8which only gets a pity response: which revolve around your own +2 or your own cool thing you found or this cool benis you 9ust suc#ed.. %ecause guess what$ 2ells don"t merit a shit about it.
e don"t feed shitposters who don"t contribute to the uality of the board, since the uality only increases if people li#e what you"re doing. /nd for people to li#e what you"re doing, you have to have a few of the following things in your threads> ambiguity, open opinions, templates, originality, a fagnet magnet, humor, adaptivity, strong feels, and dear god effort. Dou need to put a bit of heart and soul into your threads. *he first essence of a post can stand alone, and it"s a fagnet magnet. I coined the term to describe things that I li#e and everybody li#es, but it"s a sort of cheap way to get posts. *wo very good e!amples are doge and awoo. N0. *emplates can also be standalone but I"ll get to those in the meme"ing section. For now, let"s tal# about another nice combo> originalitySadaptivity. *a#e a loo# at postE?=HH=K?. It too# an e!isting anime picture, yes, but it added to it.. and suggested that other anons do the same. *hreads li#e this are very fun to contribute in, because what you contribute is important important to all subseuen subseuentt variations variations after your your contribution. contribution. *he last nice dynamic duo, you guessed it, is the remaining strong feelsSambiguity. *he first e!ample coming to mind is lewd threadE?=H4C?=. *he strong feel is 9tf< no 1f.. but people too# it uite a different way. It became a booty thread as +1 had a nice booty pic, but then was a dildo thread, went bac# to booties, and abruptly stopped at cuties. *he thread evolved so suddenly and diversely all because nobo0, coul0 fu11en un0erstan0 <.at eac. ot.er 0000000PP
E?a/les of successful Na/efi1s:
%y analying the style of recent growing namefigs, we can learn from them and
perhaps adapt to their sort of style. *he three that I"ve chosen, myself included, have very different in their styles and I love them all. +f course, there are definitely even more diverse styles of namefigging and I would encourage you to loo# for your own beat, but for those loo#ing for a place to start, here it is. *he first namefig I chose was Akari AkaBa . 7er avatar is honestly the only good thing to come out of [a9p], because whenever you see the pic you #now it"s gonna get Eeuphoric. 3he"s such a #ind person, always crac#s down on Erude people, and en9oys chec#ing dubs and chec#ing in on all #inds of figs. If you thought tl;dr for the stuff above, I made an analogy on how posts are li#e cells in a tissue. *he posts themselves are really insignificant, but if you get enough strong ones together, you ma#e something beautiful. This is exactly what Akari does.
7er positive outloo# for [s4s] contributes massive amounts of positive feedbac# towards other posts and +2memes. *he pure sort of humor she uploads every day is amaing, and she is possibly my favorite namefig. I probably li#e her more than myself as a fig.
*he ne!t namefig has positive energy as well, but in a playful almost child-li#e manner. 1ostE?=HCC? shows how he li#es to use misspellings, and postE?=BB== nuff said. o.n +atri? is a bretty fun-loving namefig who was the ne!t fig I came to en9oy seeing. 7e can either do an /#ari thing by contributing to threads in his own uniue way, but other times amuses himself on the board. 3ome people might thin# it"s shitposting, but I actually laugh when I see his Grace @ones dump threads. It shows how his style is carefree and how he en9oys the simplest of posts.
%efore I get into myself 8Etoplewd:, let"s see what the other two had in common. +ne thing that should stic# out is that they are both suer frien0l,. *his is O
Took Tsuua fu11en lon1 enou1. +e/es
+h my lawd. For all of you that went tl;dr.. I actually don"t thin# anything prior to this will matter, other than the vocabulary section. I 9ust brushed up on posting methods and thread creation, so I suppose chec# that since memes aren"t an end-all-be-all solution to being successful on [s4s], but memes by themselves are different than typical threads and posts. *hey mean a bit more, especially when it is +2; especially li#eable +2, which I will try to e!plain later.
ow. *here are really two #inds, nay, three sorts of memes I suppose. *he first is 9ust copying copying a common common meme and and pasting pasting it, li#e postE?=H postE?=H?= ?= 8which is also a display display of fagnet magnet: where you 9ust follow a set guideline of what the meme is and what it represents. 1ost a witty caption and tada, instant magnet if it"s a strong enough post. *he ne!t is very small and 9ust suffices as a reply or a saying.
1utting new twists on old memes are nice, li#e postE?=4KK4=, can be funny and refreshing. 7owever, original posts such as this are often copied and posted again and again, without giving credit to the creator 8hence why namefigging can have its per#s with 4plebs.org:. 4plebs.org:. %ut, %ut, don"t get get mad if anybody anybody uses your your +2, don"t don"t respond li#e postE=4B???C. Instead, get over it and realie that people actually li#ed what you contributed. 7owever, one way that ma#es it easy for people to #now you"re the author of a meme is if it is something people haven"t seenused before. *his is what you"ve been waiting for, for, the guide guide on +2P Generally, I thin# paint is where most of the best +2 is born. hy$ %ecause although +2 can be a funny picture li#e postE?=HH=HJ, the fun will stop there because nobody can really post anything in reply. Dou could get a )nice dubs) or )#e#"d and saved), but nobody will be able to contribute to that #ind of thread. 3o thusly, +2 memes will go a lot lot further as people can can modify and and warp them them to their their li#ing. 3eeing 3eeing as paint is a funnily crappily loo#ing drawing tool, it can be perfect for the 9ob. hen ma#ing +2 with the intent of it becoming a meme, you must have B things in mind> postability, adaptivity, and versatility. 1ostability is how easy it is to ta#e the
original meme, modify it into another setting, and repost it. If postability is not only easy enough but very fun and humorous, then you have nothing to worry about with your meme being popular. e!t is adaptivity, meaning if the meme can be ta#en out of conte!t and if custom memes can be created off of it. If it is made in paint and the layout is simple enough, people can definitely try to ta#e a stab at ma#ing memes outside of the original setuptemplate. *he final thing is versatility> will people /* to ma#e more threads about this$ Is this funny enough that you won"t have to carry this thing on your shoulders alone$ /n e!ample of a recent +2 meme that has gained popularity is postE?=4K?=C. *his alone was very insignificant as people didn"t understand the pupose of the meme. It was not until until postE?=4K4=? postE?=4K4=? when a template template was was used, granting granting the the +2 the purpose of wal#ing in on on aw#ward aw#ward situations. situations. (ater, (ater, a dump thread of multiple templates templates was was created at postE?=4KHJ. *he postability of this meme is high, because it follows a strict enough template for anybody to follow. It is adaptive enough and has been made into posts such as postE?=H?C for the avid GIA1 user. It is versatile as it uses a funny catchphrase, using )fug)> a common term on [s4s]. Aany people can fail in posts such as postE?=4HCKJ. I personally li#ed 0octor 0ic#, but it didn"t catch on due to postability and adaptivity. Aost people didn"t feel the effort needed to draw up crafty 0r. 0ic# faces, since most of them I"m guessing came from a *5 show or online source. *his also essentially limits the amount of +2 that could come from 0r. 0ic#, since there is a limited amount of content on him. I feel this would be better suited as an avatarfig, personally. /nother meme 7enryetta also fell into obscurity, because as you can see in postE?=44?4B, it is a difficult picture to redraw. 1erhaps if this came with a template and more clear purpose, adaptivity would be mended and it could have ta#en off more. 1ostE?K?4HH is an e!ample of a meme that definitely had enough postability and adaptivity, but apparently no versatility. *he thread included a lot of diverse ta#es on the meme, one of my favorites being postE?K?H=JJ as it serves as a purpose for &ncle %, but it ultimately fails as people lost interest. hat ma#es a meme interesting or not is beyond me, so #eeping the B ualities of +2 memes high is bretty much all you can do.
3o, in general, memes must have the B ualities decribed 8postability, adaptivity, and versatility: along with a urose. I feel this is where many memes fail, li#e postE?=HCKH. Aaybe if it were something more li#e http>i.imgur.comF9J=%#3.9pg with a caption )+h "tis a fine day to 2luc#le a 2huc#le at par#fags), it would give this meme 8calling it 2luc#le a 2huc#le: a purpose of stal#ing people to laugh at them. If anybody en9oys this meme, credit postE?=HCKH, not me. *heir +2.
Finally, there is the uery as to what"s best when it comes to starting a meme.
hat I did with the )Fug, wal#ed in on it) meme e!ample was to spam it in a bunch of images in a bunch of threads. *hat way, it was constantly on page= the whole day, so it was virtually impossible for people to not see see it. *hen, *hen, when people got got a good good loo# at it, they could 9udge whether it was actually funny or not. 0ue to it getting the B ualities right and having a funny enough purpose, it became a meme and went to be a small meme that people recognie as funny if they were to see it again. 7ell, chec# postE?=H?C?. 9Cue ost>43=53&
!!!& CLOS"RES !ntraboar0 influences
ith a name li#e 3hit 4chan 3ays, you can bet on there being at least some influence from other boards on 4chan. +ne of the large influences is a board that is considered the anceint ancestor of [s4s]> pol. I agree with these claims, due to there being crude humor and similar threads on both. It"s 9ust that the focus of the humor is obviously different and they are meant for different things, but pol does describe the ma9ority of [s4s]-goers. +ne of the most obvious connections to an ancestry of pol is the use of 1rivilege. here else than such a politically incorrect board could such a degrading term spawn$ /nother board that is lin#ed to [s4s] is obviously b, though I wager to say the two can differ immensely. Des, their posting structure is different, and we do have our lewd moments, but for the most part it isn"t all that similar. 1ersonally, I thin# of [s4s] as being a more mature and wor#safe b 8although both are 3F;I do believe there have been attempts to ma#e [s4s] more wor#safe, however:. *he board mlp influences [s4s] 9ust slightly due to threads about mlp not being allowed, but still you can find ponies here and there. I find them light-hearted and funny and would li#e to see more, but I #now if we lifted the rule on no mlp they"d flood us and we wouldn"t wouldn"t stand a chance. [rC#] influences [s4s] the least. It is almost a non-e!istant trace. *he meme of the feel guy sort of represents 9tf< no 1f, but isn"t always used li#e that. /lso, the term )normal) is used in both boards, as well as )alpha) and )beta). e and u really only find their way to the board via [a9p], but sometimes they influence the board. 3ome awoo threads become an ecchi dump with posts li#e postE?=4?C?, and there"s a lot of )why is this allow) in regards to yuri li#e
postE=B=C=C="s )forbidden love). *he boards themselves rarely show on [s4s], but similar content appears. ow we get to the scourge of the matter. [a9p]. /lthough it"s within the rules to post on [s4s], not everybody is happy with that. 1ersonally, I along with others are fine with occasional occasional animu posts since since this I3 [s [s 9$s]. %ut, it becomes too much when the front page gets flooded with it. *here have been multiple attempts to eradicate the board on [s4s], I myself once had been loo#ing into some friends studying to be lawyers to see if there were any loopholes in the rules to stop [a9p] posting 8this was a time the board was infested infested with it:. *here is an an [s4s] 0eclaration 0eclaration of of Independence Independence at postE?KK=H postE?KK=H and it is continually updated and signed, li#e the 2onstitution, with a copy found in postE?=4=?. *here was also a battle of uads, though many people scriptfagged about it. I did li#e postE?=4HHHH, however, which started the )if uads [a9p] leaves) and )if uads anti-[a9p] leaves) thing.
Ori1ins of #s$s% culture
*his section is 9ust to prove as a history lesson on [s4s] that only oldfigs would remember. Dubs:
0ubs come to us from b, the random board whom I guess also associated %ateman with them. 7ow andor when$ I don"t #now. b has never been archived, at least not to my #nowledge, so this is a tough call. From what I can purely assume is that somebody wanted to lin# to their own post, anticipating a G<*, and posted 1atric# %ateman"s pointing arm. hy %ateman$ I have no clue. It"s ironic how we can worship doubles so much but #now so little about their origin. 9Quotin1:
uoting can be seen as far bac# as postE=???B=K, possibly further, and after some research found that it originated on 9p. *fw they"ve been controlling us all along. *he entire uote thing can be found very far bac#, possibly beginning with LLL9p=H. Aoot said he was going to )a!e the board) if it was )a hassle to moderate). *hus, not only does this prove that moot shoulda fuggen pulled the plug when he had the chance, it shows how ironic [s4s] really can be >000 Pri6ile1e:
1rivilege comes from pol, but seeing as I haven"t located a full archive archive of that thread yet, I don"t have much to go on with this as well. 3o, let"s loo# up the definition of privilege> )a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people). *his is perfect for a board li#e pol due to their impressive
oppressive obesity, nigger, muslim, #i#e, and feminist threads among many others. 3ince pol seems to hate those groups of people, it only ma#es sense that modern 1rivilege *esters see if you fall into these categories or not. 7owever, [s4s]"s ta#e on chec#ing privilege differs greatly from pol"s in the way that [s4s] isn"t liberal literal or Erude about it.
Personal s,nosis
If there was any portion of this guide on [s4s] that was meant to primarily revolve around me as a figure as opposed to things I have done and how they affected the board, this would be it. I"m ma#ing this not because I"m saying how amaing I am and how far I"ve become, but how the e!perience has changed me and what to e!pect when e!pecting to ma#e a name for yourself on anonymous websites. /nd again, note that not all namefigs intend to ma#e names for themselves on [s4s], and rarely any of us are narcissists. 3o I"m a bretty rare ste#. I first learnt about [s4s] from a pro9ect my brother did about how the internet was a twisted and evil place, and what anonymous boards were. *his is how I first heard the name 4chan.org, and I never #new anything else about it aside from its 4-leaf pattern. 3o, fast forward some =K years and I decide that I"m going to give it a try. Aind you I"ve never been on /D sort of forum before, so the entire e!perience was new to me. *he first time I went on the board was a few days before my first post, and my intent was to go through every board alphabetically in order to see which ones were better than others. +f course, that meant I got the brute of anime and hentai immediately after visiting. 7owever, I wasn"t scared of it, but welcomed it as what came with the 4chan pac#age. I made my way to f and # 8where I learnt about @ohn (a0ue:, then around a few others before calling it a night. *he ne!t day I went on f and # a lot, and figured out wsg. It wasn"t until the third day of 4channing that I decided to delve further, and after not understanding a damn thing in [rC#], I got to [s4s]. ow. I loo#ed around the boards a lot and didn"t uite understand what the difference was between between threads threads or posts, posts, or even what replying replying was, so I 9ust sat in awe for a whole day piecing together together what what it all meant. meant. *he *he ne!t day day,, I made my first post. o.=C=CH.

3ometime later I found top#e#, and went on a whole phase of 9ust creating #e# memes, my first being o.=CH=C. I made doens of these for awhile 8one of my favorites is o.=CCJB?: before realiing my threads were going nowhere. hen I as#ed people to contribute top#e# memes, nobody did. I was confused as I didn"t understand what made good threads, threads, tried tried other memes memes li#e the the Feel Guy 8see o.?KJB4J: o.?KJB4J: and and made a real nice +2 photo 8o.?KJ4KB4:, and eventally gave up on [s4s] for awhile. I still #ept coming bac#, and upon e!treme analysis, I started to understand its inner wor#ings and and what made made posts good. It It was the same epiphany epiphany as the the anthill analogy that I made all the way in the intro, and then something clic#ed and gears began to turn. I believe it was around this time that /#ari /#aa said she was leaving 8than# god she"s bac#: and this happened> http>i.imgur.comfHotvt.png . *hough we aren"t super close as friendfigs now, I"d li#e to become more associated with her and @ohn Aatri! since they really are the epitome of le 3upreme amefig.
Finally, I posted o.?=4K?=C, a simple meme in paint. hen it was about to get pruned, I had the ne!t epiphany about memes needing purpose, and put Fug in a door frame> o.?=4K4=?. I completely flooded the front page with different templates of memes, I legitimately made between BH-4K different pics, and that"s what made people recognie it. *hey en9oy the )Fug, wal#ed in on It) meme, and I en9oy finally understanding what ma#es [s4s] tic#. /nd now, as I near the end of my guide, I will ma#e it clear it is not the end of my 9ourney. /nd though you are nearing the end of your reading, this is only the start of your own [s4s] career. Aa#e it a good one.
