> What I really like about 4chan nowadays is the pace.

I think the pace varies from board to board, and can appeal to people and their particular tastes at the time. Using myself as an example: today I enjoy /wg/'s backgrounds and eye-candy setups, but not /b/. A decade ago, I ignored anything not /b/.

There's nothing wrong with that, but I do think the notoriety of /b/ makes people stay away from the other boards.
