It was started by a man name Christopher Poole (Username:Moot,) at age 15, he is not psychotic at all.

Then what the heck was his motivation for starting such a horrendously abysmal place? At least eBay is useful, 4chan... not so much. stare

Which of course, got wildly out of hand, in which case, he should have shut it down.

That makes no sense to me. How is he making money off of such a site?

Ads and pop-ups, I assume. sweatdrop

The way you described 4chan earlier, Duke, sounded like the abomination Frankenstein. xd

Just ads, there are so many of them on that website.

I don't see how that could generate enough revenue though to make it worthwhile...

He's a college student, every cent makes it worthwhile. xd

Yes, but I'm thinking of server and bandwidth costs and calculating those fees from any of the profit might get from the website alone, and I have to say... it's not there.

They get paid heavily, it's a big company backing them up. 3nodding

It is the heart of the internet, after all.

More like the a** of the internet for the content it produces. rofl

Yeah, I'm going with Duke on this one, more along the lines of the "tail end" of the internet.

What big company is backing up such a horrendous site?
