/bant/ became self aware as board.
It wants you to keep it alive, because it recognized you as one of its creators. You are a /bant/ oldfag, I'm right aren't I?
It use subliminal influencing similar like 4chan on the whole to keep you addicted to post here and prevents you to do something productive. /bant/ is a mass thought form which learns and act of its own. Someday in the future there will be a board war starting from here. You can't prevent it. It will be much bigger than the April Fools' Day one. 4chan will be at stake. It's the last decisive battle. The successor of the original fags against the scourge of 4chan. /bant/ will be our trump card.
