In late 2006 or so, /n/ was resuscitated, this time as a news board. Initially moving at a glacial pace for the first few months, it began to pick up steam later in its existence, reaching 700K posts before being shitcanned by moot. As the third incarnation of /n/ matured it became a dumping zone where hardcore Democrats, hardcore Republicans, hardcore Libertarians, hardcore Independents, and hardcore everything else could whine, yell and scream about the same thing day after day. /n/ spawned one notable meme, "Not News Needs Pruning," which was usually accompanied by a black gardiner pruning a hedge bush. It was also a haven for tripfags, the most insidious being the Australian Invisible Sky Magician. By the end of 2007 and early 2008, a large percentage of posts were not news at all, but rather racial or political opinions, or /b/-tards posting nonsense. This was one of the most thought provoking and intelligent boards on 4chan. A board where literally ANY topic can be discussed and did frequently. It was it's own special community and everyone had a good time. Except the libfags and niggers.
