People have associated it with the alt-right, Neo-Nazis and Holocaust deniers, as well as those part of the Red-Brown coalition, due to there being sections devoted to them. Several Internet memes have started at 4chan, including lolcats and rickrolling. One of the boards on the site, called '/b/', is dedicated to random topics and is often mentioned in media. When the site started, it was for discussing anime and manga, but now many other topics are discussed. 9gag was mainly offline for the next few days, except for some servers which managed. The operation began on December 21, 2011, at 12:00 AM, and ended at 11:59 PM. On the website, users post pictures and discuss them. Videos and pictures of as many as 200,000 teenagers posted via the Snapchat service and stored on a third party website have been put online, apparently by the same people who were. The reason behind this whole operation began when 9gag took several of 4chan's memes and called them theirs, followed by making a legion called the '9gag army', a ripoff of Anonymous. It was started in 2003 by 'moot' also known as Christopher Poole, who was 15 years old at the time. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page. Sites such as these are called imageboards. 4chan is an English language website based on the Japanese Futaba Channel where people can post and discuss pictures and other images.
