Ofcom will probably end up requiring UK ISPs to block the site. Which is a fair outcome, given that the site administrators have willingly chosen to not follow UK law while still allowing UK residents to access the site.

I happily don't follow a lot of countries' laws. 'Willingly', is another matter which implies malfeasance of some sort.
"Allowing" UK residents to access the site? The UK is not the police of the Internet. 4chan is not a UK site and does not have to be aware of UK law. If the UK doesn't like it then it's their responsibility to stop their residents from accessing it. 4chan is complying with all the laws that apply to them.
