here is a question...was 4chan the first image board, or did it just use the main image board script?

Better question- How does 4chan keep itself from getting raided for the endless amount of CP that gets posted there?

Because it's mostly a non-issue on 4Chan.

NFSW

Also, CP stands for Christopher Poole. It is quite likely that Christopher Poole is a fake name, chosen becase of the CP meme.

I'm pretty sure it's a fake name. 4+ years ago I mailed something to him and the name he gave with the mailing address was completely different (no I don't still have the mailing address, I'm not that organized) and I've heard that same name bandied about elsewhere (at least the same first name). But who knows it could also be fake.

Thanks. I was being dense. I assumed it was Copyright Protection.
