While the previous post is delicious, /v/ is the video game board of 4chan. if you're not sure what 4chan is the best way to figure that out is just to visit, i think /b/ is the new users section.
I actually knew what 4chan was. I just wanted to see what responses I would get. Still strikes me as odd that people visit that site, on purpose.
Most of it is pure, unadulterated, crap. But there's a few boards in there that have good content. Just have to be selective about where you go.
