Show of hands: Who hates /b/?
« on: June 22, 2007, 01:56:33 pm »
Well, I have a question. I assume that most of you guys have heard of a little site called "4chan" (aka Satan's Toilet). Now, there is one part of the site that I once visited on a total whim. This would be the Random, or /b/ section. After what I saw, I have never been the same. /b/ is the sole reason that I do not like the site.

But what about you guys? Do you agree with me that /b/ is something that simply should not exist?

And for those of you not familiar, I will NOT provide a link. You wanna be mentally disturbed? Look for it yourself then.

Never visited 4chan,  but here's what I got from Wiki:


The Random board /b/, named after the Nijiura board of Futaba Channel, is by far 4chan's most popular board. This has been confirmed by statistics released by 4chan staff, as well as the sheer post count: As of June 16, 2007, /b/'s post count has surpassed 30,000,000 posts with most of the other boards still struggling to break 250,000. The anime, video games, request, and sexy beautiful women boards (/a/, /v/, /r/ and /s/, respectively) are the only other boards to have accumulated more than 1,000,000 posts (/a/ and /v/ having over 3,000,000.). After /b/'s 25,000,000th post was made on April 19, 2007, it took only 11 days to accumulate another 1,000,000 posts on /b/, meaning /b/'s posting rate has now attained an average of more than 90,910 posts per day. Certain post numbers, such as 12345678 and 22222222 are sought after, with a large amount of posting taking place to "get" the number.[5] The humor of /b/'s many users (also known as "/b/tards") is frequently characterized by intricate inside-jokes. As a result, newcomers often find posts incomprehensible. In addition, /b/ is known to officially have "No rules," save for a ban on certain illegal content, such as child pornography, and invasions of other websites, both of which are restricted by site-wide rules that also apply to /b/.

Yeah, I pretty much only stick to /cgl/

But it's becoming a dramu-filled kipi-spammed stink hole.

Although it's still worth it to come across the very rare awesome picture thread.

/b/ on the other hand is a bad idea for anyone with a weak stomach.

Although I always go to /b/ on Saturday. Because that's caturday, and the cuteness ensues.

I am intrigued butr have absolutelyn o clue what anyone is talking about. Even with the Wiki post I feel pretty mistified. Well, whatever it is, I'll assume it is bad.

*edit*
I found it, the 4chan website, I think. And to be honest, I just don't get it. Maybe I'm not seeign whatever it is you guys were talking about, but it just seemed like an overall poorly constructed and even more poorly navigatible website. But yeah...I just don't get it, whatever it is.

2chan's a much better site.  But we must give 4chan some credit for giving birth to the lolcats.

4chan is like the steel-bar window to the jail cell of the internet.

It's harsh, it's taunting, and if it doesn't like you, you're screwed.

But hey, it would be really boring here without it.

Except that the internet is more pleasant than the average jail cell.  That doesn't defeat the parallel though.  That's why it's a parallel, and not an equal line in point-slope form, because values differ significantly, but have the same slope.
