Sorry if this is in the wrong board-
but what's happening to 4chan?
Don't get me wrong- I go to all the chans as much as I can [I prefer waka over 4 any day now]
can someone explain what's going on?

/b/ has always sucked.
Now that's out of the way, unless you're referring to some current event I'm unaware of, the problem is the rapidly-expanding userbase. Previously (in the early days, when it was still fun) the culture was "lurk more forever". Lurking for at least a month before posting was the etiquette, and failing to do so would get you shouted down universally as soon as you demonstrated any ignorance of the still-complex but then-manageable memeplex.

>>2 Everything here = lies.

There hasn't been a time when it was "lurk more forever" because there has never been a time when there was etiquette because that implies a culture, and 4chan has never had one of those. It has been stupidity and drama from day one.

Somehow I don't think you were there for day one. Early in the piece the culture was completely different, far more laid-back, and even often collaborative. That you claim it has never had one only indicates that you don't know what that word means.
