Truth. If you were a regular on any other /b/ board, you saw what happened when 4chan went down. "it's where we keep the retards" sums up 4chan /b/ pretty well.

That said, however, >>95 has a point. There were some points in time when it was actually a good thing for the slow boards. Sometimes even for a whole hour at a time...

There's another thread here somewhere about "4chan should split the /b/ board". I guess we sort of have an idea what would happen. And that some people there now actually know that there are other boards, so that maybe we're a little closer to that. (having multiple boards)

Or something. I'm tired...
