This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I believe that the deep web used to refer to websites not referenced on search engines. Which was the case for 4 chan.

I think this is still the definition

The deep web,[1] invisible web,[2] or hidden web[3] are parts of the World Wide Web whose contents are not indexed by standard web search-engine programs.

But I don't remember a time that 4chan didn't appear on search results, it's just that the content disappears so quickly that the result you do get (and you get some results) aren't worth much, so they're demphasized. But I remember a long while back searching on Google with "site:4chan.org" and getting results.

Facebook is also deep Web for most of it. Normies are the real freaks.
