Print this out and hang it on the wall in your office. 8.5x11 or 11x17
Love them or hate them, agree or disagree, offensive or not, these are the rules that guide one of the most powerful, prolific, and creative communities on the entire web: 4Chan (definitely NOT Safe for Work)
Some of these rules are unique to 4Chan (e.g. 41. Desu isn’t funny. Seriously guys. It’s worse than Chuck Norris jokes.) Many of them, however, are universal. They're rules that can help us accept the ways that the web rules us - not the other way around. They're rules that celebrate unrestricted - often disrespectful in the best and worst ways - collaboration. They're rules for an environment where there are no mistakes because everything's a mistake, and when you start by assuming that everything is eventually a failure you realize that you no longer have any excuse not to take risks.
These are also the guiding principles of a highly competitive community; these rules guide a group of people who have come together on the web and want to defeat every other group of people on the web. They know better than anyone that your competition on the internet is everything else on the internet.
