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 never thought of it that way, but that's only partly true.
I know that some people, like myself, come to 4chan and only post on /b/ without ever even looking at the other boards.
Now that I've been on 4chan for a while I've grown out of /b/ a little bit and found my way to the text boards and the other image boards.
