Cause of Newfags?

First off let me just say this this is a serious thread.  Im not kidding.

What do you guys think caused 4chan to be overrun by newfags?

I think we did it to ourselves.  I mean, if we didn't hack websites, or raid forums, then we wouldn't be as well known.  If we weren't as well known, then obviously not as many people would know about us.  Then therefore they couldn't tell their faggot friends about us.

Comments?  Other theories?

Christopher Logan Hanssen is banning the old fags left and right, we need newfags to keep th is board lively.
