How /b/ got killed

It is my opinion that 4chan /b/ was the victim of a systematically orchestrated destruction. Within 2 weeks the following things happened:

- 420chan was DDoS'd into submission
- not4chan was closed down (scared?)
- /b/'s user numbers tripled and tons of stupid users started flooding the boards, with all the smart people leaving (presumably because it was advertised on one of the many idiot boards of the internet)

I arrived in 2004 and when I got here I read the rules and they basically amounted to "don't post trolls outside of /b/". Yes, VERY early on /b/ was all there was of 4chan; but after a very short while it became the dumping ground for trolls so that other boards wouldn't have to deal with the shit.

Funny thing about dedicating a board to trolls.
It fills up. With trolls.
Weird, but true...
