* What bothers me is that boards that are somewhat more normal like /tg/, /co/, and /u/ who actually have fairly normal comments get lumped in with the very worst of /b/.
** This, just this, /tg/ can be a little wierd once in a while, but it's not much worse than sitting with an average group of 30 year old nerds talking about DnD/Warhammer 40000, you get some rage and alot of geeky humour. We are not /b/, and if anyone acts like a /b/tard on /tg/ they will quickly be told to get out. I remember once when someone posted a "There's a nigger in my DnD group, HOW DO I MAKE HIM GTFO?!?!?!" thread, after 10 posts of people telling the OP to stop being a racist, the thread got derailed into "How awesome would it be to play in a group with [[Morgan Freeman]] as the DM?".
** Similarly to the original troper, some of the nicest people I've met on the internet come off of /c/, /cgl/ (Believe it or not, when drama is minimal, seagulls can be incredibly sweet and helpful), /co/, and especially /cm/, yet people who don't frequent those boards seem to think that the entirety of 4chan is just trolls and gorn. It really just has to do with ignorance and generalizing boards that they have yet to actually go on. Some people hear horror stories about /b/, then decide that they will never enter the site.
** That's what happens when groups like /b/ get together. They attract trolls, who then start to ruin things for everyone else. As long as the site is going to allow them the freedom to troll around, then everyone else has to either put up with it or just not go to the site.
* Speaking of which, why do sites such as [[Sankaku Complex]] and [[Danbooru]] have their own articles, but 4Chan does not, despite it being one of the most notable imageboards on the net?
Line 29:
* Has been there any Anonymous trolling that backfired?
** Very much so. They tend to be short-term failures, though, and are quickly forgotten. This troper had a friend who tried trolling a certain board, and included a screenshot of his 'trolling' on facebook. He forgot to edit out his ''freaking nickname'', and they found his account and bombarded him. The eventually got his phone number, address, and signed him up for a credit card. He was forgotten about by the end of the net day.
** A few times where someone has tried to recruit the army of anon for personal misdeeds, they will simply be trolled or doxed (along with receiving the standard "Not your personal army" message), Enclyopedia Dramtica, a site for the worst 4chan trolls, grew to be so hate filled and repulsive that no one was willing to support it financially(and nothing of value was lost). And as a minor example, their repetitive vandalising of the ED entry caused the page to be locked, denying them a chance to promote themselves and further damaging their reputation.
** Also any attempt at flaming My little Pony fans will encourage them to flood with pony pics, the high point of the Great Pony War being kicked off when a corrupt mod indiscriminately banned anyone posting ponies, which ensure that people would wait till he was gone then flood like crazy with ponies. Do not flame MLP pony fans or they WILL spam and troll the heck out of you. Also attempting to use 4chan to organise an invasion will generally just get you banned, at best.
* How the hell did /b/ ''get'' to this condition in the first place? If I'm not mistaken, it was originally just 4chan's general board, and now it has probably become the absolute worst [[Wretched Hive]] on the Internet, if not the whole world. Anyone have any idea how that happened?
Line 40:
* It exists. That's what bugs me. It has no right to exist, and should not exist, and yet... we just let it exist. No one EVER fights back when they troll people who don't deserve it, which reinforces their beliefs that they can just walk all over everyone. Well I have had enough of that; I am going to be plotting this [[Image Board]]'s ultimate destruction for as long as I live!
** A [[Silent Majority|lot of people]] feel that they are [[Disproportionate Retribution|wrong]] when it comes to what they do, but there's [[It Can't Be Helped|nothing we can do]]. Also, a lot of people who visit 4chan detest this behavior.
** Read the description for [[Eldritch Abomination]] and rethink the words "it exists" ''[[Fridge Horror|very]] [[Go Mad
** Because they do a certain amount of good that justifies their existence, for example when a video was posted of someone drowning puppies on youtube Anons found the woman who did it within the week.
** At it's heart, /b/ is just a [[Chaotic Neutral]] imageboard with evil tendencies. [[Rule 34|And porn. Lots and lots of porn.]]
