The notorious board 4chan has gathered a following since its 2003 start-up in the bedroom of then 15 year-old Christopher Poole. Poole started 4chan as a spinoff to a Japanese message board, the Futaba Channel, that was called 2chan for short. However, in February 2009, Poole announced that he was 20K in debt and turned to advertising on the site. His true identity beyond his avatar was hidden until it surfaced on July 9th, 2008 in The Wall Street Journal. By 2010, he had gone on to raise $625,000 to create another site, Canv.as.
