>>27818903It's a normal human urge to want to be a part of something, to be remembered, to make an impact.
But the entire reason 4chan had no archive, originally, was because it was an experiment to see what would happen if people could contribute content without ANY of that being a given.
Think about other forums. Some people get popular, and anything they post — good or shit — is taken more seriously than the new guy with 3 posts. It becomes about esteem, fame, elitism, favoritism. 4chan escapes all those traps.
