Fortune
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
#fortune is a forced meme (forced on 4chan by moot) where by typing #fortune into the name field of another of 4chan's forums submitting a post there and returning to /b/, one of a dozen-or-so, random Fortune Cookie type fortunes is generated automatically. This, of course, provides much hilarity for the gaiafags of /b/ (who have figured it out) when newfags come lurking and start crying "How do I shot #fortune?" Placing a fortune in a post before text can also serve as a means of demonstrating that one is not a newfag, as newfags commonly do not know how.
[edit] UPDATE
Last Thursday Friday, moot added the #fortune option to /b/ again...this may prove cancerous. As of June 1st, 2008, it is still present. GONE AGAIN, thank fuck.

Fortune is part of a series on the cancer that is killing /b/. |
