Dear god don't let your kids on here. This website is safe, a forum for anonymous discussion, but sometimes some really fucked up stuff can appear. It's okay if you can tolerate it, otherwise don't come onto this website.

Asshole of the internet where swarm the most detestable kind of trolls who enjoy detroying their victim's lives "just for laughs", theirs acts are made possible by the anonymity and the nonexistent moderation. If you anger one of them (or are not sufficiently politically correct), consider yourself as lucky if you're not pushed to suicide. Trou du cul du web où grouillent en toute impunité des trolls de la pire espèce qui prennent plaisir à détruire la vie de leurs victimes "juste pour rire", leurs actions étant rendues possible par l'anonymat total et la modération inexistante. Si vous vous mettez un seul d'entre eux à dos (voire si vous n'êtes pas assez politiquement corrects), vous serez très chanceux si aucun d'entre-eux ne vous pousse au suicide.

Official website of 4chan. Not suitable for minors, especially /b/.

I gave it 100 because its completely anonymous and haven't found a threat yet no viruses no nothing but don't follow the banners and I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH....DO NOT USE THE RANDOM THREAD....people like a lot of messed up sh** everything from gore and "faces of death" to cp can be found in random...nothing to fu** with... I mainly use this site for the porn or how to's but its got whatever you need.

if you're into ironic humour, then come over to [s4s] :^) it's a family-friendly, christian and kind 4chan sub-reddit where you can find many funnies and such. if you want rude board full of mean bullies, then go over to >>>/b/. it's where all the porn dumps are at. the site is safe for work if you know how to use it

this website is amazing for kids i let my kids go on this site all the time anyone who says its not a good site is just trying to ruin 4chans reputation because there rival 9gag (which is way worse) has been trying to run 4Chan off the road in terms of website traffic people say that the /b/ board isn't save but its all about kids safety there is only one bad thing that isn't appropriate is i saw one guy (from 9gag) try and post porn but 4chans amazing mod moot got rid of that

Website full of Trolls and such, they make fake roomers, nudes of artists, try to offend people with autism, Adult content, illegal stuff, ETC.

I enjoy using this site. Technology and weapons are by far the best.

Very entertaining, with a vast amount of boards to choose from. However, 4chan is not suitable for children at all; on some boards, (legal) pornography is allowed to be shown, along with gore, most infamously in /b/- the "random" board. Also, keep in mind that a huge chunk of the site is complete sarcasm.

4chan is a rather controversial forum, and rightly so. It can feature gruesome images and far-right commentary. Overall though, the site is safe. Your IP is publicly viewable however I believe.

It's simple, really. This is the site where the scummiest of the scummy trolls band together. They join together to try and trigger PTSD victims, people who are prone to self harm and suicide. Why? Because they are social sadists and it the only thing enjoyable in their lonely, pathetic lives.

As a "reverse troll" I am the bane of 4chan's userbase. Generally I wouldn't trust this site or anyone who uses it. It is full of people who take pride in being hateful and using technology to harass others, for example sending nasty and rude text messages through a website that makes it look like it came from a phone number ,rather than a site.
2
The home of dank memes and adult content.
1
Good site for adults, dont let your kids on it though as a few people like to post stuff thats not suitable for them.
2
An imageboard dedicated to different 'boards' which can span numerous topics from discussions about politics, social, science and adult content. Due to it's uncensored nature and no fore-warning on accessing said content, it is not suitable for children. Trustworthy site.
