<p>I've heard many interesting stories about it</p>
<p>Excuse me, what does 4chan mean? I am not sure what the question. I did look at Wikipedia and it says “4chan is an English-language imageboard website”. Not sure what the context here is?</p>
<p>CC is also not the place to be discussing Caltech houses</p>
<p>I’m curious what interesting stories you have heard about Ricketts. Why don’t you share?</p>
<p>gb2/cc</p>
<p>I do remember seeing a giant /b in the steam tunnels once while I was down there, though I can’t say exactly who from campus did it. I’m also quite sure you’d be able to find plenty of anons around campus.</p>
<p>They’re all fine houses.</p>
<p>Now, can someone please lock this thread? It is not relevant to CC and is against caltech’s rotation rules for incoming freshmen, as it tries to spread derogatory stereotypes which would unfairly bias new frosh against a house.</p>
<p>But not all of us are current Caltech undergrads and aren’t bound to the rotation rules. ;)</p>
<p>hahahaha</p>
<p>Anyways, I’ve googled RacinReaver’s name (hell I even saw him on Steam) and my, he is one of the most interesting personalities on the Internet. 
Anyways, I totally identify with him since many of my best friends come from gaming forums too (but it’s hard to justify to others :p)</p>
<p>Haha, let me know if you’re ever up for a game. I just got a 360 and I’m trying to adjust to using joysticks instead of a mouse, so I’m possibly the worst player ever in Reach right now.</p>
<p>Also, 4chan spreading to become one of the most influential websites has saddened me. I remember back when all I had to worry about was seeing random goonspeak show up around campus to remind me I spent way too much time online. Now there’s all these darned 4chan memes and whatnot I’m not familiar with since I can’t stand the site. :mad:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha I see. I’ll add you on Steam (I created a CC group on there but it isn’t taking off). I actually don’t have a gaming console though - just a gaming PC. Though I’m not great in most FPS games (better at RTS). ;)</p>
<p>What’s goonspeak? I tried googling it to no avail. </p>
<p>Heh, yeah. Nowadays, nerd culture contains so many of these 4chan memes (sometimes hard to remember that there was an Internet before a 4chan). I remember that someone tried to set up a 4chan specifically for Caltech although it didn’t take off due to an incident.</p>
<p>I can’t even imagine how there could be some sort of bad incident when you mix Caltech and 4chan. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Goonspeak is I guess back from before 4chan and SA was a main source of internet fads. They charged :10bux:, though, so it kept a lot of stuff from spreading nearly as much (though if you haven’t ever seen P-p-p-p-p-powerbook you should look it up).</p>
<p>Also, just googled my screenname and never realized how many places I’ve used it. It actually made me laugh those wiki and urbandictionary pages came up on the first page (it’s also made me realize how freaking long I’ve used this name on the internet).</p>
<p>Heh it was a small-scale incident. ;)</p>
<p>Ah I see. Yeah, I’m newer to Internet culture than you are so I don’t know all the memes you know. 
Especially the SA fads I’m still so ignorant of</p>
<p>Haha I was wondering if those urbandictionary pages were from you</p>
<p>This site somehow never fails to make me feel old.</p>
<p>Not as bad as this elective I’m in right now that has a ton of freshmen in it. I feel so creepy since I’m, well, way older than all of them.</p>
<p>heh me too. I’m definitely going to fear the same thing once I go to grad school. 
But hey, i’m sure you were once among the youngest students in particular classes. I’ve seen some early entrance students transition from being among the youngest people in their class to among the oldest people in their class, haha.</p>

<p>U MAD?</p>
<p>Talking about the Houses is a great way to reach out to prospective students. People want to know that there’s interesting and diverse stuff going on. Never understood the secrecy on the Houses. We’re only supposed to shut up during Rotation.</p>
