For those who have been curious. I scraped the data from all of the 4chan boards, and then ran a series of data analytics tests on the data.<br><br>The most popular boards are:<br><br>1. /pol/<br>2. /x/<br>3. /adv/<br>4. /b/<br>5. /g/<br><br>These boards are the most heavily trafficked and most popular in terms of visitor volume, active threads, active users, and the number of comments.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>\*\*Defenses\*\*: <br><br>1. If I'm seeing this, then so is the military, the government, and all of the other "highly skilled hackers" who can actually do something about it, so I can't be blamed for revealing "secrets" that are publicly available. Furthermore, it is impossible to convince the whole of the internet to do something for the greater good, so I might as well do what I want, because no one would do the right thing anyway. <br>2. It's good that we know the truth, even if it's a painful reality to behold. If we can't do anything about it, we can at least be as informed as possible, and have a clear picture of what the worst case scenario is. <br>3. I wasn't breaking into confidential databases. I was just scraping public data. There's a difference. <br>4. I didn't do anything illegal, I'm as innocuous to the government as a random tree out in the forest. I just did what I wanted, for the purpose of my own amusement.
