/b/ is Dead

Before I hear anyone squawking "rules 1&2" i'll remind you those only applied to raids, Read the rules. And you heard me, /b/ is dead. What was once a beloved site for an evening stroll turned into a trampling of reposts of reposts. There in no more originality, no more OC. We were once anonymous, legion, never forgetting and never forgetting. Now, we've turned into a bunch of whiny teenagers believing ourselves an elistist club, only to invite everyone we knew. What happend, my /b/retheren? We used to be feared, a force to be reckoned with. We even made attempts to take on the church of scientology. COME ON. Never in history has a website gathered such a mass of unorganized individuals into a choatic army, ready to take on such a powerful influence. We branded ourselves as internet terrorists by the words of Bill O' Reilly, and were scolded by oprah. OPRAH. Your latest target? An eleven year old in florida who thought she was tougher than the internet. FROM A CHURCH TO A PRETEEN GIRL?!? For shame. I used to be a proud member, posting, saving, and contributing in any manner deemed appropriate. Now, I watch as I see the cancer spread from the recently joined as they post the tiredd, worn out memes of 2006. As the topic of many threads, many have asked: How do we save our beloved /b/? I'll keep this answer short. You can't. YOU started this snowball, YOU started this butterfly effect. Now I'll let you watch your beloved haven burn to the ground, and leave you to clean up the remains.

For those who are not ready to give up on their oasis, i'll offer you some very real advice. Leave what is /b/ and recreate elsewhere. Let's start a new /b/. And for the love of god, DON'T TALK ABOUT IT ON /b/. Take over another board if you have to, /bif/ was always a clear evac route for those moments when /b/ was down. better yet, move away entirely from 4chan itself. Maybe take over a new website (ebaum's, anyone?) and run that into the ground. Take the new members to another location, give them the same 10 memes to use that they always ruin anyway, and let them loose. Call it a tumor extraction, so that we might be able to get rid of the cancer that plagues the site. And once they're leaving, they'll take their friends with them. We'll be able to stop the spread of new users coming in, leaving only to elders to rebuild.
