It's a containment board, if it died it would spill out like radiation.

I really hate to agree with you....but your right /b/ is some kinda gross vile cancer that we need to hold the attention of all the people who like being a part of internet cancer.

When you destroy a gathering place, it's inhabitants wander. 4chan's /b/ board is necessary, and actually a fine place to make a weather report on the state of the internet.

still needs to die in my book. devide and conquer. considering that they spread out anyways.
its not it actually corrals them. just gives em a place to gather and focus attacks.

While the Kingdom of /b/ makes Raids, it does not wish to expand it's borders, content with the land it has.

Your book is flawed. It contains the idea that to destroy a place on the internet is to destroy that place's inhabitants. The idea that the kind of people 4chan's /b/ harbors would be reduced in any way by removing the land is flawed. Those inhabitents will be scattered for weeks, perhaps even a year if you have luck, but will eventually pool back together. If you are extra lucky, they may make more then one pool that then has internal strife with one another.

But they will never be "conquered" and will never go away, no matter how much you remove their land. I have seen it, witnessed it with my own eyes. What you know only as 4chan /b/ I have known as Something Awful AnythingGoes, before then the Portal of Evil, before then alt.cats.meow, and even before then alt.tasteless

And every time, then the land was removed, those other factions of of internet users they would poke fun at and occasionally raid would suffer a great surge of trolling and raiding activity before they coalesced once more into a somewhat singular form.

Destroy Makai, and the Devils and Oni makes us their home.It is best to have Makai then to not.

Besides, a gathering such as /b/ has it's great many uses if you watch quietly.

book? what book?
it's more that humans tend to be more active when they
have a gathering place. they feed of each other and gain
confidence to do more thinks. Saying /b/ contains them
is like saying tumblr social justice does not spill out all
over fa and out into rl.

Still! Convince me not with theories, but with examples. Be sure that the example group falls in line with the 4chan/b/ type. We can't use a "movement" such as Social Justice for example, as they have a motive and believe absolutely in their cause.

lol, metaphorical books aren't real. lol. i derped on that. as for theories... do remember theory = fact. Science! In this case Anthropology. As for movements... all movements started with people gathering together and supporting each other. Gathering... like 4chan's /b/ and tumblr. You cannot call it invalid because of ligitimacy, and/or level of dedication to their cause. /b/ has some very dedicated trolls. It's how France was overthrown, people gathered together and united to overthrow the king. This socal collective empowerment is how we as a species survived and thrived. It's human nature.

i honestly am viewing this from a non emotional view. im not perfect, i dont get everything nor do i thik i do. but from a scientific and evidenced view of human nature. gathering places atlre places of power for groups. It's why people demanded the right to gather in public in the history of the usa. (protests) it's why religious groups build churches of all types all over. keeping people seperate reduces power and prevents people from acting out aginst the will of those in power. /b/'s verious ddos attacks and so on would likey not happen anywhere near as often if they could not gather and share info on how and who to target.

i have nothing against you personally but if it's a choice between letting the hive of scum and villiany survive in it's current state, and allow them to take out others pages.... or discourage/remove them and prevent those attacks.. i'd rather be rid of troll central.

We simply see this differently.

I have seen your strategy carried out. I have seen it carried out to completion no less then 4 times in 4 different ways. It was not a success.

You have ether missed that, or discarded it as hyperbole not in line with your belief system.

strategy? im giving my opinion based on scientific evidence and my own opinion to say why i think it's not worth keeping around. i'm not using any strategy to change your opinions ir say my way is best. it's my opinion and why. what do you think im trying to do?

you ignored my question. what do you think im trying to do?
also its called a book. try one. i honestly don't use the net for all
the answers, andany good resource on anthropology will charge for it.
but the short answer is... take a good look at humanity and how we live.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society for the lazy answer.

let me ask this: what about /b/ do you positive and benifical?

Kupok

Anything positive about /b/ is coincidental. I find little to nothing positive about that specific section of 4chan.
I can feel the "pulse of the internet" on /b/ ...But I can also garner that information from a number of other locations.

What is /b/?

Kupok

@ AphroditeDraco

If 4chan is an image-focused equivalent to Newsgroups, then /b/ is alt.tasteless.

4chan is an Image Board, a sort of condensed forum with a focus on posting images with your text. 4chan contains many subjects, all moderated according to it's rules. 4chan/ck/ discusses food and cooking, 4chan/vp/ discusses pokemon, 4chan/k/ are gun nuts. There's even a board for papercraft and origami.

Existing within this website, is 4chan/b/ simply titled "Random."
It is a (Mostly) unmoderated board containing a concentration of some of the most tasteless content of the internet. That concentration is vast enough that when the whole of that place becomes motivated to do something, they inevitably become the subject of television news.

To describe the "will" of 4chan/b/ or it's motives is much like describing the hopes and desires of a many mouthed, gibbering and singing Lovecraftian eldritch abomination.

It is worth a peek. 4chan.org is free from Pop-ups and the like.
I myself hang about in http://boards.4chan.org/ck/ because I like being constantly hungry.

From what I heard, they all decided to invade Tumblr and add all kinds of harmful things to it. Not sure to what extent, but it was really bad.

Quote from a friend who uses Tumblr: "So to all of my friends who use tumblr, please be very careful. For those of you who don't know, /b/ from 4chan is spamming the tags with porn, gore, animal abuse, and self harm. If you are easily triggered by any of that, please don't go in the tags for a while. (And I mean all tags. Fandoms. Social Justice. All of them.) For now, the tags seem to be mostly cleaned up, but there are rumours of another raid happening soon.

Also, don't post any selfies on tumblr and please untag any you already have up because they're collecting selfies and planning to photoshop porn onto them and post them all over the internet with as much personal info they can dig up.'

At the same time, its one of the things the FBI mods would look the other way about, so they let the anons go nuts and are letting them go nuts on thier pedo crusade. While at the same time being the only board with shota allowed on it and the shota threads are on topic.

It is a very weird place.
