Talk:4chan/Archive 3

message: I can understand the raid not being in the Habbo article, since overall it wasn't that important to the history of Habbo Hotel. However, it was a important event in the history of 4chan and /b/, as it represents a significant mobilization of /b/ posters and is therefore notable in the board's history. I've inserted a single line reference to it as an example of a forum invasion, since simply saying "/b/ does forum invasions" is no good without an example to back up that statement. Hopefully that's acceptable. Xuanwu 06:25, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Um, outside of the site itself, I find this policy near impossible and somewhat unfair to abide by, due to the nature of the subject.  They should have a different policy for internet culture related articles (as they aren't often reported on the news or written about(though they are starting to now)), but I don't control how wikipedia works, so all I can really say about this is "meh." --Dch111 02:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A couple good references (subjective, though) that come to mind would be EncyclopediaDamatica and the 4chan Livejournal group at http://community.livejournal.com/4chan/ - both of these support the retaliatory DDOS chain of events --70.108.68.32 08:24, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thing is, though, is that both sources probably cannot verify such claims in any way, shape, or form. Also, I believe in some earlier discussion we decided not to use Encyclopedia Damatica as a source, citation, or reference, as it is much much more of a joke site than a reputable source. However, the livejournal group MIGHT be passable. I have no idea, honestly. (Steampowered 08:45, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  References and Sources 

message: It has recently been pushed that plus4chan should not be included on the 4chan article. I disagree with this user, as plus4chan has been linked on one of the newer image boards within a week of its creation. Even though none of the 4chan team works on plus4chan, it has been linked from one of the newere 4chan boards since mid-April. This, alone, should merit its inclusion.

replies: text: Related projects is made for stuff that is somewhat more related then just having 4chan's name in it. The lolikon boards on not4chan was on 4chan but then changed to not4chan. (see the article) And world4ch is managed by 4chan staff. Anyways plus4chan has nothing to do with 4chan except that they actually archive some stuff, and the mods have stickied it for a while. If we would add all "Related" projects which are not run by Team 4chan the article would look shitty. --Slushq 03:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: plus4chan is still a related project to 4chan, not just because it has "4chan" in its name. And the mods haven't stickied it "for a while", it's been stickied since its creation on the /po/ board, for four months, long past any threads' lifetime on 4chan. While both not4chan and world4ch were born of 4chan, so was plus4chan, although not from the 4chan team. It's not like every single other imageboard is listed under "related projects", it's just one additional site that has gained some form of notability on 4chan. Ryūlóng 03:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The mods want people not to request all crappy stuff over and over again, Thats why they stickied it. Still it's not a related project, it's a site that they linked and stickied. Lot's of sites has been linked in a sticky post and even if it's not 4months it doesn't fucking count as a related project JUST because it's not run by Team 4chan, the 4chan article is about 4chan. And like the other "projects" they've are/been managed by Team 4chan. But plus4chan has not. --Slushq 03:31, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Regardless of any sort of purpose behind the inclusion of the link at the /po/ board, it still is a related project, regardless of the fact that it is not run by anyone who runs 4chan. It was created by the users of 4chan and has been linked from 4chan much longer than anything else. It's not like /b/radio, which is something created in one night; plus4chan has been up for a while, it's been repeatedly updated, and it has been continually connected to 4chan's /po/ board since a little after its creation.  Also, please try to be civil in your posts. Ryūlóng 03:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok lets use examples instead then? /po/ the smallest board on 4chan is like a "flash page" on lets say CNN's homepage, and that flash page has a link saying "hey this site is good too". Thats pretty much what the plus4chan link is. And you're saying that we should add that as a related project, just because you think it's relevant enough to add on wikipedia? (Or atleast keep it on wikipedia)Would you add that "link" on that "newspage" on wikipedia as a related project? I mean it's just a archive of the site. Why does it need a whole bunch of text and not just a link saying "Arvhive of /po/" Not that that would be anything valuable to add but just as an example. --Slushq 03:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I get no 4chan content clicking on any of the menu bar. Why don't you wait with including it in the article until you've got something that's actually usable? Also, making a 4chan-archive site flashplayer-dependent is absurd. - Ados 23:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
