FTW - SV650.org

When did FTW become such a popular expression? Does anyone actually say it in real life? Just doesn't sound right to me

For The Win...

And it kicked off mainstream about 3 months or so ago. But it was on 4chan maybe 9 months before that. No idea why, but it's taken off.

EDIT: Actually, IIRC, FTW came from 4chan after a spout of AoPS in b board.

FTW is much older than a few months. I remember seeing it on the internet at least two years ago.

Whats AoPS? And why are you on 4chan

Art of Problem Solving. Imagine b board doing that...

I've been on 4chan probably since early '04. Good laugh sometimes. EDIT: Some people reckon 4chan is the birth place of most internet legends, but I sincerely doubt that claim.

Habbo raid? Me no comprende anglais!! That was 2006 wasn't it? Or do you mean the 2008 one?

Hmm, 'oldfag' - I think all I'll say is that I've been on the internet in a few claimed 'birth places.'

i suspect it's the catalyst for most though, i've been around since about the same time as you and 90% of what comes round the rest of the net was popular for a few days about 8 weeks beforehand on there...

Its the 2006 one i was on about, didnt even know there was a 2008 one.

4chan scares me... to much freaky and disgusting stuff on it.

If 4chan scares you, don't ever, ever look through my browsing history. Freaky is funny, disgusting is often quickly skipped over.

It's unfortunate that some of the content is there, but that's what you get in a place like 4chan.

Have you seen the other sites similar to 4chan?

PS. Mods/anyone that doesn't know what we're talking about - you're probably better off that way. 4chan content is definitely not for the faint of heart. I did consider linking to one of the more mainstream elements of 4chan, but decided against it.
