4chan was born of a banned SA user.
- v64 7y agoThis is a great interview[1] about Something Awful featuring creator Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka. The Something Awful forums had a board called Fuck You and Die, which was a predecessor to 4chan's /b/. YTMND's lineage to SA is acknowledged here as well. If you used to post on the SA forums, you'll probably get a load of nostalgia hearing this again[2] (this was the background music of the board where deleted threads went to die) [1] https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/nzg4yw/fuck-you-and-die-an-oral-history-of-something-awful https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/nzg4yw/fuck-you-and-die-a...
