What are your thoughts on 4chan?

[ProtoChimp]

It is our greatest ally and our most dangerous enemy. Our most brilliant minds, and dumbest of society. The kindest of humanity and the psychopathic underlying we all fear. We need them. We don't need them. We love them. We hate them. We define them and yet they define us. All of these things are true in some way or another but one thing cannot be denied-
we would all be different without them.
4chan is the villain we run from and the hero we beg for. There are too many words to describe them and yet not enough, they simply are... 4chan...

Simple question, really, what are you thoughts on the image-board known as 4chan? Do you go on there regularly, semi-regularly or never? Have you actually been to any other boards except for /b/? What are your opinions on it's culture?

Please don't turn this into a flame-war.

4chan may have racism and foulness about it, but it has complete freespeech and a major variation in different views and the advantage of anonymity. Quiet frankly i go there more than i come here for any discussions.

I occasionally go on /b/ to start infodump/lifehax threads, looking for knowledge I don't already possess. I'm like Brainiac, but sad.

When I'm not doing that, I post a picture of George Carlin, along with the George Carlin cheer (with a video link handy in case noobs think I'm "ripping off" that one lolcat picture that doesn't even do it right).

Other than that, I lurk moar aggressively.

It's pretty alright, depending on where you go. /b/ is worthless, but I got and visit /mu/ a lot. Providing you don't take it too seriously, you can have some fun there, and hear about stuff you might not have found on your own.

Depends where you go, really. /b/ is a cesspool, and /v/ is pretty much neo-/b/, but I browse /co/ and /tg/ and those guys are pretty cool. For one thing, they actually still put out OC.
