Is the internet the warp?
It's fuelled by the thoughts and emotions of people.
In it, even the insane is possible.
And, it's full of all sorts of lurking predators.

Running with this supposition, what websites would enbody the gods of the warp?

4chan. Duh.

First post, and we now have a winner, folks.

Wouldn't 4chan be the Eye of Terror? With Dakka, Warseer (to a much lesser extent), and Bolter and Chainsword, be something like Cadia?

4chan is the Eye Of Terror, Bolter and Chainsword is obviously Ultramar. I think 1d4chan would be Cadia, as it helps one transition from the 'sanity' of the internet to the...thing that is 4chan.

Dakka is the Astronomicon... when all the hatred is died down for the time being.

Items from yers ago will surface, while recent things are impossible to find, so there's the warp effect on time. Tzeentche is youtube, EVERYTHING is on youtube, and 4chan is Slaanesh because... you know.

Khorne would be /b/ols with its flamewars?
What would Nurgle be?

Nurgle would be the sick f*cks of the internet such as furries, Pedophiles/lolli con fans/ guro fans and all of the other hardcore pr0n crap and maybe the cancer that is killing /b/


4chan does indeed have a so called "downfall" like the Eldar worlds in the Eye of terror

Moot(4chan creator) when he was interviewed said that 4chan was simply a place where people can share pics of Japanese culture including anime but the corrupt minds of the users of the internet turned /b/ into the "eye of terror"

even its inhabitants are similar to chaos daemons

for example: just as daemons prey on ships going through the warp, trolls prey on various users on the internet(though they usually deserve it)

and some unfortunate people on the internet get trapped on the internet and are not able to escape for quite a while just like some ships that go through the warp

/b/ = Chaos Undivided
/s/, /r/, /soc/, /h/, /cgl/, etc. = Slaanesh
/x/ = Tzeentch
/sci/, /toy/, /m/, /g/ = Tau
/an/ = Khorne
/fit/ = Grandpa Nurgle
/tg/, /w/ = IoM

We really should list each and every 4Chan board and associate with the most appropriate WH40k faction to both enrage and upset everyone here on Dakka and then later troll /tg/ with the results.

and the cancer has spread to my thread :(

I feel for you, bro.

EDIT:

Hmmm your location says you are around the eye of terror.......

That would in this case be literally rather than metaphorically

Tzeench is definitly controlling Youtube although he probably lives on Facebook(the better to control people)


Slannesh is obvious.


Khorne? all the Nerd rage over on BolS


Nurgle? not sure, he's probably stuck on Vista

Nurgle would be the embodiment of computer viruses. duh.

There you go

What I want to know is more broad. We're simply attributing all of this to sections of ONE website.

There is definately a noticable microcosm within 4chan of these characteristics, but I'd like to see how it applies to the web as a whole.

Tzeench: Search Engines
You start with a simple question, but no question has a simple answer. Before you can find what you are looking for, your attention is diverted by a link. Again and again you scroll through the pages, getting farther from what you were looking for in the first place. With each page you know more, but it only leaves you with more questions. You do not even care if the knowledge is accurate anymore, if it is real or just the ravings of a madman. You want an answer; any answer will do. The pages fly by faster and faster, while your eyes glaze over and your mind goes blank.


Slaanesh: Online shopping
Slaanesh is so much more than sex and porno. He is the god of wanting things. You go on ebay, because you need a new phone battery. It is there, out of the corner of your eye that you are tempted. It does not matter what you secret vice is, somewhere there is someone selling it. It is all there. The desire to have it burns inside of you, while the clock ticks down to the end of the auction. You want to have it, hold it, touch it, taste it. You becomes obsessed and deranged. Nothing matters but the desire to have more and more and more. All else falls to the wayside as you buy more and more. Before you know it, your house is full of collectible figurines, mint condition comics, and beanie babies.


Nurgle: Blogging
There is one fear older than all else. The fear of death, or passing away, of becoming nothing. At first you write for yourself, you enjoy it, but soon it becomes more than that. You are desperately trying to make something that will last. Each post you make is a scream into the void, "I AM HERE!" You try to make your blog popular, spreading it all over the web with tweets and facebook messages. Nothing can stop the rot and decay. The updates become more inane and meaningless, everything looses its meaning. All you can do is keep typing and promoting in the vain hope that you will never be forgotten.


Khorne: Forums
It starts simple enough. You know that post is wrong, and so you post back. That user does not know what they are talking about, and so what if you have to do 5 minutes of math-hammer to prove it. There is no way to stop the decent into madness. Before you know it, you are playing devils advocate, defending things for no other reason than to be contrary. Aun' va CAN be competitive, if you build your list right. Tank Bustas are AWSOME, have you SEEN the rules for BOMB SQUIGGS and TANK HAMMERS?!?! GREY KNIGHTS ARE UNDERPOWERED!!! THREADS FOR THE THREAD GOD! POSTS FOR THE POST THRONE! TROLL! QQ! FLAME! TROLL! QQ! FLAME!

That.... was epic

The Internet is fuelled by electricity and computers.

You can't just switch off the warp.

I almost wholeheartedly agree... But tzeentch is not "search engines". If anything it's wikipedia and/or tvtropes. God, that site can literally suck your soul out.

Tzeentech is probably facebook or twitter
Slaneesh is EBAY/Craiglist/Amazon
Khorne is ALL message board

Nurgle is...infected websites....

I was originally going to put down Wikipedia, but I wanted to keep each god generalized instead of mentioning a specific website. Each god is a type of website, each website is a specific daemon.
