History of "kek" 4chan had just recently added a new board to their website. It was entitled [s4s] (not /s4s/), also known as Shit 4chan Says. This board was meant redirect the heaviest shitposter a of /b/ and many other boards. It was a normal day for [s4s] in it's young age of about 70,000. At this point "kek" was limited to [s4s] as an alternative of lol. Then someone discovered a picture of a foreign pastry that went by the name of "kek" assuming it to be "cake." And then similar packaging with "topkek." This caused it to blow up. Thus, [s4s] spawned it's first true meme at a ripe young age, still to this day the earliest age to spawn a substantial meme. Soooooo if anyone gets to change "kek," it certainly wouldn't be some shitty, second hand meme spamming website. [spoiler]hurr dur it started in WoW and was popularized by 4chins [/spoiler]
