What? No.

4 chan started in highschool or middle school if you're a bit younger. Millennials used 4chan while genx invented and ran it.

"Fuck you Stanford, yer mum's complaining about me dropping packets but it's hard to keep things flowing when UCLA's mum keeps using up all my bandwidth"

Got a laugh out of me mate.

And knowing nothing else about the situation; i can tell you the 'people' at stanford deserved it.
