Is 4chan named after Yotsuba or was the connection made after the fact?
>>288069231After4chan’s named after 2channel.
m00t(literally who?) stole the whole website from 2ch.
Some fags kicked out of ebaum's for talking about tentacle rape too much formed an IRC about Azumanga, and the rest was history.
No, it was named after the 404-girl (by the way, girls are called "chan" in japanese, that's why the website is called 4-chan)
>>288069231Yeah it was named after her, but multiple people had input on the name. It was nearly named Yotschannel.
>>288069301 This. Yotsuba is just a happy coincidence that /a/ latched onto because clover = four and we're all pattern-seeking autists. The site name is literally just “4” from 2channel + “chan.” Yotsuba didn’t even exist until after 4chan was already around. The mascot association was pure weeb osmosis.

>>288069421>because clover = fourit's because "4chan" sounds like "fortune"
