Despite the anonymity of 4-ch, 4-ch almost feels like a forum to me. Keep in mind I've never been a member of a large forum before so I dunno if thats really a correct way to put it. There seems to be less trolls on 4-ch than 4chan.

I wasn't part of old /b/, but as long as I've known of 4chan's existence, in my opinion, its always been a cesspool, more so in recent times. 4chan might be better if it weren't for the fact that the /b/tards don't stay in /b/. They're spilling over and ruining the rest of the boards now.
