Every other board (except for /b/ maybe) has a topic for a discussion. /bant/ on the other hand, doesn't have one, so the community is mostly centered on itself, rather than an external subject. This coupled with minor stuff like lack of moderation, flags etc. provided a fertile ground for people wanting to partially abandon anonymity. At least that's how I see it.
