>>2394242Bingo. Complete newfag central, majority of the userbase probably underage.
It was shit when I started out here but even with my awful taste I didn't manage to leave until 2010 when I discovered the joy of cute anime girls doing cute things.
The last time I checked it earlier this year I couldn't enjoy it on any level, even nostalgia.
With /r9k/ being mostly whiny normalfags for a long time now, /bant/ is the only place left here that feels right to me. Many other boards these days feel too uppity and serious.
/s4s/ may have some redeeming qualities but it just doesn't click with me. Like maybe it's reddit 3.0 or something. Can't be sure as I never debased myself by joining that shithole.
>>2402926Oh yeah that's another good reason to avoid it. Nothing ruins a chill lurking experience like seeing that some faggot decides to dump captain picard in a thread you're reading. Though I'd be surprised if that's as much a problem as in the past given the changes in moderation, and the fact that /b/ mods are literally FBI agents.
Anyway tl;dr is /b/ was shit but sometimes worth it long ago, now it's just shit and this is the closest thing we have to the feel of old /b/, thankfully mostly free of the assloads of porn that belong else where, or in some cases, shouldn't exist at all.
