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)

If you visit any non-4chan anime/image board website (e.g. /soc/ (not that /soc/)), the general consensus is that 4chan `died' around 2005. And frankly I agree.

It's still a good place to find porn though.
