/b/?

Today, someone I know realized I'm on here and he's all:
"its suprising you'd even heard of it
as a cultural locus of such depravity
/b/ has long since supplanted it"

I never paid much attention to /b/, but from what little I know of it, it doesn't sound too great. and &T is AMAZING. So seriously, someone explain how something so shitty has "subplanted" &T.

Lies... LIES!

So yeah... help me understand. :D

    From my understand /b/ is shitty... but also incredibly different from &T, so how can something so different replace something? It doesn't make much sense...

    I like &T and used to talk about /b/ on here, but I have since refrained.

    whenever you hear about something happening on the internet, chances are it came from /b/ like jessi slaughter, time magazine people of the year, sarah palins email being stolen, rickrolls, icanhazcheezburger? and other stuff

    whatever your flavor is, thats what site you go on.

    If you saw toy story 3, I would compare /b/ to the caterpillar room, and &T to the butterfly room.

    Just go to 4chan and lurk for a few minutes. Then you will realize why it sucks.

    /b/ sometimes produces amusing shit, but 99% of the threads on there are either reposts or gay porn.

    yeah, but with millions of page views a day, eventually some good shit will happen.

    If you throw enough shit at the wall eventually some of it will stick.

    4chan has millions of people throwing shit a day.

    Honestly, from what people have said here, it sounds lame. And I mean, this isn't lame to me. So how can something lame, "replace" something totally different and unlame?

    The only good thing to ever come from /b/ is their instructional/informational threads which just has a bunch of random how-to's on cool shit.

    I <3 that shit

    Just random /b/ pics I saved to my desktop accidentally. I miss my old /b/ folder. Never know when a retarded pic is gonna come in handy.

    I mainly hit up 4chan for /w/ & /wg/. Of course /b/ and /backwardsb/ are also acceptable. /r9k/ too.

    /b/ is the dirty asshole of the internet. I added 'dirty' in because some may actually enjoy clean assholes and I wanted to be clear about the matter. kthxbai

    It's really like the primordial ooze from which all memetic life on the internet crawls. So much shit is happening that eventually something evolves and catches on. It's an interesting place, and arguably one of the most important influences on culture in any form of media.

    Yeah? Well I can't stand the layout of YOUR FACE. jk, but I don't get what's so off putting about the layout. I've never really understood that when it's come up, and I've heard it a lot.

    It just looks like there is absolutely no organization just every post is on one page. It looks like a clusterfuck of shit to me.
