I would prefer that its inhabitants be over there rather than anywhere I might run into them.

So I guess it serves a purpose.

It was always a waste of time, but you used to get a laugh out of it at least. Nowadays it just bores me to tears. /vg/ is the place I visit when I'm really bored, sometimes there are decent threads in it. Sometimes.

Its kind of shit. I mean, at one point, it was fun and horrible at the same time, but now it is just filled with the same things over and over again. I mean sure, every now and then, something comes along and is amusing and somewhat original, but for the most part it sucks.

I'm partial to /sp/ personally, I really like it when there isn't too much shit posting.

It scares me. As such, I never go there.

I view it as kind of the Arkham Asylum of the Internet- a whole bunch of mad people who occasionally escape into the real world.

A wretched hive of scum and villainy. The lowest common denominator; all over the internet, other forums can say to themselves, 'We might be bad, but we're not /b/'.

I know just enough to guess this would be one of those things that can't be unseen. So I'll happily enjoy my ignorance.

What he said, I have no idea what you're talking about, but the mention of 4Chan has made me wary, so I'll not dig in.

I visit it pretty much daily, it's alright.

It's mostly just newfags calling other newfags newfags calling other newfags newfags ad infinitum.

There's the occasional diamond in the rough though, when /b/ is good, it's brilliant.

Never really visited, never really cared to. I hear all these horror stories about 4Chan, but have no actual curiosity in regards to it. Nor /b/ in particular.

Somebody posted my Steam ID on one of the boards once, telling people that I was giving away games. I then got spammed with friend requests for about half an hour until getting tired of it, accepting one and asking why I was getting so many friend requests from people I don't know.

The guy or girl politely explained the reason, and told me they'd let the board know it's a fake. Then the requests stopped. They were actually pretty polite about it, which I wasn't expecting.

I wont slag off something I have no experience of. However, from the testimonies of others I am pretty sure I do not want to gain any experience of it. Not my cup of tea at all.

I don't really care about it either way.
I went there a couple of times, had some laughs then I saw child-porn and left forever.

Pretty much this, I've no remote desire to visit that place, but I'm perfectly capable of ignoring it and I shall continue to do so.
