Interview with.....

Christopher Poole, known simply as “moot” is the founder of the now infamous web forum 4chan. 4Chan is responsible for unleashing internet memes such as LOLcats, Rickrolling, ChocolateRain amongst others.



Meme-promoter Rex Sorgatz of Fimoculous interviewed Christopher Poole for a magazine story which never ended up being published! Thankfully Sorgatz was kind enough to to post the interview to his blog so head on over there and have a read!

A short snippet from the i'view:

Quote

4chan is actually one of the most robust, complex, annoying, disgusting, illuminating, perverse, fascinating online communities ever created. It is the direct or indirect source for many of the strangest internet memes: RickRolling, LOLcats, Sarah Palin's email hack, Anonymous, Chocolate Rain, and many other minor and major feats of esoterica (i.e., fucked up weird porn). Most of these viral specimens arose from the site's most popular image board, /b/, which can be the source of considerable hand-wringing and fist-clenching for anyone who has dared navigate its murky, anonymous waters.

pretty interesting story tbh :o)
