Someone told me that /v/ wasn't as bad as /b/.  Kind of like saying a shoplifter isn't as bad as a mass murderer

nothing is as bad as /b/.  4chan isn't a terrible place and it's actually one of the central hubs of quick information and slashdotting because as soon as news or a link gets posted on 4chan practically the entire internet hears about it afterward.  Yeah there's a huge crowd of idiots and trolls but for the most part there are good and helpful discussions that go on.  Whenever I need something like a good anime, comic, or video game recommendation I post on /a/, /v/, and /co/ and in about 5 minutes I get 50 posts pointing me in the right direction.  About 30% of the posts is garbage and sometimes the topic will spin out of control but for the most part people TRY to be helpful before the trolls start tearing through the topic.

Now /b/ is designed primarily as a place to be a dick and even moot the creator has expressed remorse in creating it (but he knows if he deletes it then /b/tards will start fanning to other boards).  It's basically the offspring of Gamefaqs LUE but there's literally no rules at all except for "don't post illegal images" (I.E. kiddie porn but seriously everything else is a go).  I'm glad there's a depository for the worst members so they don't spill into the other boards with their nigger hate and women belong in the kitchen speeches.

Oh, and ever since last week 4chan has been down and I'm going through withdrawal I NEED MY FUCKING FIX THERE ARE ANIMES AND FANFICS I COULD BE MAKING FUN OF

oh yeah if you're ever advertising anything 4chan is pretty much the best place on the internet to do it for free.  since everyone can post as anonymous, you can basically viral market to your hearts content by posting "what do you think of so and so" and since there's dozens of broad categories you can market directly to the people who will be buying your product.  in one topic we confirmed that warner bros. used the board to market the dark knight as one of their marketing guys confirmed on his blog that he constantly posted links to the various websites.
