Shockingly, 4chan—the cherished home of aspiring internet vigilantes and/or racist piles of garbage everywhere—isn’t quite as cunning as it might have you believe.

Eleven years ago, it was difficult to inadvertently look at child pornography, a woman's corpse, or a detailed cartoon of Dragon Ball Z characters sucking each other off. Today all of those things are within reach thanks to 4chan, the anarchic id of the internet—and its creator and sole proprietor, Chris "Moot" Poole. Now he's calling it quits.
