You Know You've Arrived When 4Chan Links To You

Okay, so I guess you know that you've arrived as a blogger when you get linked to by the popular internet message board 4Chan. For those of you who don't delve into the underbelly of the internet that much, 4Chan is a popular message board that is about as unregulated as they come. From what I know of it, it's mostly a way for people to request and share anonymous porn and to set up coordinated internet pranks. But, at the same time, there are some more legitimate discussions that take place there too.

I was therefore SHOCKED earlier today when I opened up my Feedjit widget to check my site visitors and found that I had actually received a visitor from 4Chan! Here is the picture proof below:

Tracking down the URL from 4Chan proved that they had in fact linked to me. Here is the original comment where a poster links to a video with commentary that I recently put up from Dr. Neil Tyson about who supports science more: Democrats or Republicans.

All I can say is that 4Chan is about the harshest internet forum there is. If they link to your stuff, it's because they think that you have good, interesting, or useful posts on your blog.

Blogging world: I've finally arrived!

As thanks, here is my offering to the 4Chan god -- a picture of a sexy girl:
