Notes
- The Anonymous archiver snagged roughly 90% of all posts on 4chan between October 2006 and November 2008.
- This archive contains about 85% of all posts ever made on 4chan from its inception up to November 2008 (4chan had about 20-25 million posts in its first 3 years, then another ~170 million in its next 2, which is the period most of this archive covers).
- Just over half of the posts in the archive are from /b/.
- The 2005 posts are all from /r/.
- The post-2008 content is only a tiny fraction of all posts for that time, more like a core sample.
