What exactly happened to /pol/ anyway and why did it become /b/ 2.0

Moot kind of got tired of letting a white supremacist hate board fester on his site without repercussions. So he got rid of all the rules that kept /pol/ topical, and allowed it to be flooded by trolls.

Also Ben Garrison had enough. /pol/ was defacing his cartoons with anti Semitic themes. He called out Moot as being a "master troll" who won't do anything to stop it on his blog after which Moot fucked up /pol/.

Huh. I had no idea that Ben Garrison wasn't actually a Neo-Nazi. His comics were posted her years ago, so I assumed.
 
People who hate it take it way too seriously. Particularly the people on this site.

Some boards are great and essentials lists like the ones from /mu/ and /v/ are some of the best lists of their mediums you can find.
 
They kept calling moot a cuck, especially as a result of the gamergate crackdown on /v/, so he decided to nuke the board. Most of them migrated to 8chan similar to a sect of /v/.

/pol/s glory days were the zimmerman stuff. Everything after was just a second rate regurgitation (chimpout alert! like every night despite nothing truly big ever actually happening) and reddit tier bs (redpill me). I think the only oc I saw was the different types of pills (iron pill) and the dindu nuffin meme. Cant forget the jew stuff either.

I know there was a text news board before but I never went so cant compare. There was a variety of posters on pol but it was turning into stormfront lite. Even v has better political discussion. Politics is not videogames afterall.

Wow, never visited that place so I didn't know the shit happening there.

Also back then why did /a/ had Asuka with Evangelion kazoo music
 
You can use themes and custom CSS, and you can pay Moot 20 bucks a year to not enjoy Google's Capcha botnet.

Not gonna lie, where else are you gonna find shit like this?

I don't get it.

It ain't hard to see the anti-semitic images in his works:
Warning for the image.

So yeah, he is full of shit
 
It is the birthplace of almost anything funny on the internet it is the wild west and the wild west wasn't for the weak or feint of heart. I visit many of it's boards mostly the v and g sections. But the fact that it is unmodderated is the biggest breath of freash air, You can rant about your opinion without feeling like you are walking on eggshells because people are offended by everything these days. And lack of moderation prevents it from becoming a huge echo chamber.

It's awful but still the best place on the english speaking internet for discussion, especially when it comes to niche interests.

With normal forums like Neogaf it's completely impossible to seperate the content of the post from the poster. The same message can be of very different value depending on who it is that posts it. There are always hierarchies and egos at play with usernames and personalities attached.

At 4chan your post has to stand on its own, and I think that's just an inherently superior form of communication on the internet.

Really though?

Sure, there are a small number of posters here who I recognize by name and may give more/less credence to. But Neogaf is more than large enough for me to have no idea who the vast majority of posters are.

Quick Google search shows that those are by a person writing under "A. Wyatt Mann". The logo was photoshopped on, and Ben Garrison's art is stylistically a little different.

Compare the shading styles and facial designs.
