/f/, and the scaled-down versions subsequently submitted to /f/ were rightfully derided as lame;
/f/ tripcode fag Amuro also pilloried the Flash loop for leaving out a particular Pretty Cure
.gif that was generally acknowledged by /b/ to best fit the music. Some /b/tards still regard
11/3/05 as the greatest single day in the history of /b/.

Mods are lame since 4chan is now a for profit venture.
Gotta be advertiser friendly, even off blue boards. Can't have the news looking down on our porn
boards after all. No talking about anything that might be conceived as anti consumerism, unless
in the proper anti consumerism threads, also if you hit one of the hundreds of "Nono, can't have
anyone see this side of 4chan" trigger words your thread might disappear and you're powerless to
stop it.
Memes aside, 4chan kiled itself with exposure. M00t was just a man, and every man has a price.
You can see what happened to 4chan is similar to what happened to the american prison system, it
use to be that people in jail were known to other people due to reputation and word of mouth in
jail due to how life was on the inside, but as the numbers increased, you couldn't know every joe
shmoe in jail, so gangs developed and the old ways went the way of the dodo. 4chan traditions are
largely ignored and forgotten now a days

a true scholar to all memekind

everything turned into serious discussion with people (or shills) alreading going into arguements
with set opinions and trying to convince everyone of their superior world view
as opposed to back then when just a bunch of random bored people watched what others of the same
kind where doing and things kinda went from there
oh and /b/ was taken over by the COOM I suppose
I mean there was always and should always be hot shit on /b/ but now it's basically the only
thing left getting posted there
just like adult gif (formerly known as gif) was just haven to all kinds of animated pornography
(flash excluded) and needed a seperate board where actual gifs of all kinds could be enjoyed
