Editing /b/

{{sick|/b/ allows lolis}}

The first rule of the internet famously says: "You don't talk about [[/b/]]." The second rule of the internet says: "You DON'T talk about [[/b/]]." Those rules alone should already tell you something. But now, we shall break those rules for a moment.

[[/b/]] is the "random" board/[[Just as Planned|the chaos god of change's magnum opus]], and the lowest pit of evil and [[chaos]] in [[4chan|the reaches of eternal damnation]] of the internet, some say it is the true home of the Chaos Gods and it is [[Tzeentch|Tzeentch's]] greatest creation since it is "pure chaos" embodied and cultivated for his own amusement.  On [[4chan]], [[/b/]] is the most popular board of all - primarily since, like every other part of the internet, users don't need any logic or sense at all to "contribute" to it.  It also [[Slaanesh|breaks all the boundaries of NSFW]] and if you were to be caught at work browsing /b/'s porno related threads, [[PROMOTIONS|you'd not only get fired but probably also get arrested]] (although, let's be realistic, if you were caught browsing 4chan in general at work, you'd still probably get  fired).  View at your own risk.

But since [[/k/]], [[/co/]], [[/d/]], and [[/tg/]] were created, all the oldfags of /b/ left after noticing that the board had dropped to a level of shit that was much lower than their standards. /b/ is now plagued with newfagism and porn. Not unlike /a/.

Rumors persist that [[/v/]] has become the new /b/, plagued by butthurt and ripe for the [[troll]]-reaping. Due to constantly going off topic, posting NSFW pics and now [[Humanity Fuck Yeah]] threads on /tg/, it wouldn't be surprising if we followed in /v/'s footsteps. Halt the Hun - [[/tg/ gets shit done|contribute]] today!

==On a less hyperbolic note==
Okay, time to rip off the Nostalgia Filter. [[/b/]] has not descended into a massive level of shit, everyone who complains about it have just decided to grow the fuck up. The [[Tzeench|random]], [[Slaanesh|immature,]] [[Nurgle|disgusting]], [[Khorne|horrible]], [[Great Horned Rat|inconsiderate]], and admittedly [[Vashtorr|creative]] humor /b/ runs on has been there from the beginning and now that you've matured you can see it for what it is. Those who complain about new members ruining /b/ have posted the exact same things while they were younger. It's actually worse than [[/d/]] at this point. /d/ at least formally bans bestiality, gore, loli, and shota. /b/? No such compunctions. Post torture, post ISIS executions of US POWs, bestiality involving lolis, you name it, they give absolutely zero shits.

==History==

''/b/ was never good... but it was certainly better!''

[[/b/]] was the first board on 4chan, officially launched on October 1st, 2003, although the site was up a few days prior. Before the creation of /a/ a month later, /b/ held the title of "/b/ - Anime/Random" after which it simply became "/b/ - Random" and has stayed so ever since. /b/ was always a paragon of anarchy with a "no rules" policy, and has had a dismal signal-to-noise ratio. That is not to say that all /b/ threads are bad, but it does mean that finding them is like searching for rhinestones in a sea of manure and piss.

/b/ is the largest and fastest 4chan board, and is often the board that represents all of 4chan in news reports about {{Anonymous}} hackers and bullies; the distinction between 4chan and /b/ is seldom made. /b/ is also the board most likely to greet new 4chan users, who are eventually expected to migrate to other boards after an acclimation period. The migration may be a result of the individual realizing that /b/ has very little to offer them, or it may be due to the formation of new boards. [[/tg/]] is a direct result of /b/'s Warhammer Wednesdays, for example.

Sweeping generalizations of large populations are seldom accurate, but it is safe to say that /b/ has the air of an immature teenager with a can of spray-paint and a lighter. Characterizing /b/ is difficult, to say the least, but the wild-card persona may mean that any representation of him (or her, even) could work. Villain, foil, horde, punching bag, or supernatural conglomerate entity would all be acceptable.
