>>8796290/bant/ was supposed to be the combination of /b/ and /int/ with the added stipulation of no porn threads. Unfortunately, it was extremely unpopular and dead. The only people who came to /bant/ organically were refugees from /b/ who were tired of the nonstop porn threads. Eventually, even these people stopped coming to /bant/. Then came all the namefags and tripfags from /jp/ and other retarded boards like /r9k/ and /s4s/. Mix in avatarfags and negligent mods and poof. The current state of /bant/.
