I chuckle a little bit each time 4chan is mentioned in news outlets..I end up wondering..just how many normal people checked out 4chan because of that.

13 million hits a day. Tough to argue he's not influential

Another example of why Time magazine isn't worth lining your hamster cage with.

Popular doesn't necessarily equal influential, though in this case, I am sure that plenty of heads full of mush are stirred every day at this site.

That comment translates to "I read it every day." or "I'm a Scientologist." I'm not sure which is more frightening.

4chan has a great jailbait section.

I'm surprised TIME hasn't taken at least that article down out of embarrassment yet.

"Moot denies knowing about any concerted plan by his followers to influence the poll, though TIME.com's technical team did detect and extinguish several attempts to hack the vote."

Yet they link the results, which obviously still show the manipulated message from autovoters.

Actually neither but thanks for playing with your usual level of intellectual inability. Never heard of the place before seeing this thread. I didn't even go check it out after reading the article.

Way to lie on an Internet forum.

Way to troll on the interwebz.
