I lurked on /a/, /an/, /b/, /f/, /g/, /t/, /wg/, /gif/ previously and now /wsg/.

I spent quite some time on /b/, when it was good. Because of the anonymity you’d focus more on the content and engage more based on the ideas themselves and not who said it.

I used to consider the deranged content as trolls but nowadays I’m not quite so sure… Many have been brainwashed into becoming extreme. Overall the board became a trash bin with 98% sexual content so I’ve lost all interest.

A caveat to this is that sometimes your friend’s games run better since he/she removed the power-hungry annoying part that prevented you from borrowing it.
