For those of you who don't know, 4chan (http://www.4chan.org) is an imageboard, with a huge community of posters. They have done panels at Otakon and Anime Weekend Atlanta and are doing one at AnimeUSA. It would be nice if we can host a panel at Fanime, as it would be their debut on the west coast. The idea has also been discussed here: http://dis.4chan.org/sug/#1132120495 (please ignore the retarded troll posts.)

LOL Internet
That would be awesome if they came. I'll show up as Happy Negro for the event lol XD
Bring Moot here :D
oh my. Is this a joke or a serious request to have a panel about/for them?
THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING! It would be awesome if they came! Let's do it, let's have a 4chan panel. But maybe it's just too...dangerous.

I'm willing to become a host for the panel. We need a 4chan panel at Fanime hehehe :D
I'll be damned if this actually happens. Its a great idea, but then, what about "content" control? I'm sure there are limits to everything, even as picture happy savvy as 4chan is...
Screw it - make a panel damnit!
Ok, it's obvious that a lot of people want this panel, I mean 4CHAN! Who wouldn't? But what if we just had a censored version of our friend 4chan? I mean come on guys, what's wrong with longcat? Or we could always have the panel at night and have certain age restrictions, but that isn't nessissary, I don't think. It depends, I suppose. I wouldn't mind helping out.
to better understand this, you want a panel for a community of folks that post images ? Then flame each other about the idiocy of everyone else's pictures?
Yes.
And no. I mean....there's anime pictures too. And it's about sharing pictures, and being crazy, and having wild memes and inside jokes that only fellow 4Channers understand. But maybe fanime just isn't ready for 4chan.
What I saw was a bunch of guys calling each other names. What would a 4Chan panel look like?
Keep in mind, this reminds me of Chang-o and his gang. Why do I want a panel that insults fans at a place they want to feel safe?

If you're really curious, there's a video of the AnimeUSA 4chan panel floating around the net...
I say that if it were to truely be a 4-chan panel, you'd set up a huge router for everyone to hook their computer up to, and connect that to a projector that would display random images that people would submit, followed by people commenting on it out loud. It'd be a crazy and ludicrously fast paced as 4-chan, but live.
The only problem there is you can't make typos out loud...

Thus it won't be as funny. :(
I have this mental image of everyone at the 4Chan panel just up and raiding other panels and spaming them with random crap. XD In true 4Chan fashion

For this panel to happen, we will need to DONATE TO 4CHAN.
Who's with me?
This is probably what 4chan: The Panel would end up being like.

Fanime needs more 4chan
voted YES
We need 4chan panel! even better if there is a panel with 4chan vs gaiaonline! OOOOOOHH!H!! :twisted:
I still don't see anything that 4-Chan has to offer. I mean, besides alot of people calling each other names, what else is it?
Gaia Online has alot more to offer its people. I don't see a need for 4Chan from what I have seen.
Anything else out there to convice me. Keep in mind, people insulting each other really does not do it for me.

4chan gave birth to all the best memes ever. No one is aloud to badmouth 4chan or say it has nothing to offer if they have ever said "ORLY"/"YARLY" or even chuckled at it, because that was a 4chan creation. :) 4chan is a lot of good fun, some con last year(THE NAME ESCAPES ME) had a 4chan panel, which is more of a meeting sort of thing of fellow 4channers to go to. It's not like it would be an informative panel really, more like a meeting to be silly and meet other pervy 4chan go-ers.
It's been a while since I was knowledgable about the whole fanime thing, so I don't remember if meetups were something completely seperate from panels. A meetup is what I'm talking about, but 4chan really has nothing to share as a panel other than "donate2 4chan, moar /s/ 4 u". If moot and other 4channers would be willing to come, it would be a neat meetup.

The meetups were seperate and mostly people from somethingawful.com (ie Goons) who are also 4channers. I disagree that 4chan has nothing to offer because it is a big part of otaku culture here in America. That being a spin off from 2 channel which is the largest image BBS in Japan. Even famous artists and directors have posted on 2 channel and Densha Otoko was formed from posts there.
I know it has been asked of Team 4chan if they would come to fanime to have a panel, but I guess it is up to have one hosted? If people are worried that the content discussed is too obscene, then perhaps have the panel done in the later hours 11pm-midnite. If fanime can have a hentai/yaoi video rooms, we should be able to have a 4chan panel. JMO.
Oh hells yes!

O RLY was created by 4chan. YA RLY was created by Something Awful.
yeah, 4chan is by far the greatist thing ever. id die if they had 4chan anyhting at fanime. :-3
Shove it in the first hour of H night or something. The panel would discuss such topics as "behind the scenes" material, the history and memes of 4chan, what it's like to run an "Anonymous" site, and *why* 4chan is such a popular image site. Although why we're talking about it when no one's stepped forward to actually run the panel is, ha ha, moot.

We could probally have him on the panel via IM or IRC?
But I dunno if he wants to be up that late being that he is EST and all. I guess I can ask since I know the mods there. If no official panel, I guess there could be a secret one somewhere in the con. LOL

4chan panel?! NO WAI!
I'll be cosplaying as Waha! XD
I posted a /b/tards UNITE thread in the cosplay board to see if anyone would cosplay something from 4chan. I wanna see a longcat. D:
The "Damn You Internets: So You Want to Be a VIP Star?" Panel was probably about as close to a 4Chan as I think anyone would want to get. We covered 4/Not/Ko/Guro/And a few other Chans. It went over really well.
For as much as a "4Chan Panel" would rock, it wouldn't exactly fly unless Moot or someone flew out here to make it official. Until then, Damn You Internets!
;_; I wish we could get moot or someone to come to a 4chan panel at Fanime...then it'd be official, and it would DEFINITELY help get more people to Fanime :D We could get even bigger (yay, additions to the family!)
Ahh, moot, if only...

Noo! I'd be totally conflicted T_T I'm addicted to both.
I'd totally go to a 4chan panel if it didn't conflict with the Gaia panel
Just be sure W.T. Snacks stays home.
Around Snacks, never relax.
