I saw a wiki of screenshots of a ton of epic /b/ threads, it condensed years and years of hell into about 3 hours of LOL, it was about the only good /b/ experience I think I'm ever going to have.

I then fled to /v/, but now even /v/ is just /b/ with video games.

I have fled again to even more obscure parts of 4chan...

I miss the days where 4chan would make me laugh :(

/b/ has gone up and down since the beginning. Those members then just pick another forum there (usually /gif/ or one of the hardcores)...

4chan has always been a stomping ground for those that can take a joke, put themselves out there or just blantent trolls.

I know why those here don't get it, yet still think they want to be associated with that counterculture. Fuck most dudes here think a 19 yo chick that has had sex with one other dude is already damaged goods.

I've have gone to 4chan for 5 years now, and there has been a definite decrease in the quality of posts. People on /b/ used to be clever. Twisted, sure, but still humorous. Now the place is mindless, and I rarely ever see a posts with worthwhile content.

I don't know if you remember, but there was a filter on 4chan a while back. It only lasted a while, but while it lasted, it filtered out all the idiots. /b/ was actually amusing again for a little while. When it ended, though, the number of unique posts went up by 10x the amount and the quality of posts went back down the shitter.

No one on /b/ is funny or clever anymore. I wish the damn site didn't become so popular.

I don't go to /b/ anymore but I do visit the on-topic boards - generally /v/ (vidya games, though it's probably one of the most /b/-like of the other boards), /o/ (cars), /k/ (weapons), /wg/ (wallpapers), and /x/ (paranormal).
