Were you honestly expecting it to? 4chan is a perfect example of a community that got displaced by hordes of newcomers until its culture became diluted beyond recognition. In fact, I don't know of a more perfect example of displacement than that in recent history.

There's always hope of a partitioned internet in the future, where ICANN is not the default provider of IP address space and where refuge can be found from the more mainstream web. In fact, that future is becoming more and more probable especially now that Obama is expressing the desire to hand over ICANN to the UN.

If not, then there's always overlay networks like Tor, I2P or Freenet.
