Point of clarification, was this before or after stormfront explicitly started using the site as a recruitment and training ground for neo-nazis? Because I also spent a fair bit of my middle and high-school time on 4chan, and can attest to the fact that the 4chan of 2007-2012 and the chansites of the present day are very different beasts.

Of course discussion on 4chan wasn't as politicized back then because politics was a much smaller part of the internet a decade ago in general, but people back then are still what you'd call "nazis" or whatever even today. If anything the /n/ (the first iteration of /pol/) board had existed since close to the start of the site and only in 2008 was it removed and replaced with the Transportation board.
