About

The Imagefap Troll is a form of trolling that tricks people into believing that their IP has been logged for searching and looking at CP.

Background

Imagefap is a porn image hosting website that uses this as a deterrent from people searching and uploading inappropriate material. Imagefap does not go after people who search inappropriate keywords but does go after people who upload inappropriate material.

The troll began on 4chan when an anon posted "Go to imagefap.com search Lolita. Fap like crazy" When you do, it directs you to a page that reads "In cooperation with ASACP^[1] we log IP, date / time of visit and search arguments of all users entering this page". People who thought it was real immediately began looking to erase their Hard drive and expect a knock at the door. They franticly asked other anons "what do I do?" and even thought that they could Delete System32 to keep them safe.

Soon after the meme Advice Dog was used and is still used today as the image used for the troll. Only newfags will fall for the troll and most oldfags will play along.
