I don't think it has changed really at all. I think you have. I was on in the early days, and it was terrible. It was full of dark people looking to get a rise out of each other. It was full of brilliant individuals using that brilliance to get a rise out of each other. It was awful and amazing, it was brilliant and it was pants-on-head retarded at times. Those people were the closest friends I've never known. It still is. All of that. For many people. But the difference is that you've aged. 4chan in general, but specifically /b/, was, is, and will forever be the best introduction to the anonymous internet for young people. You can say whatever you want to whomever you want, and you don't really have to worry about being bullied. It gives juvenile individuals a way to express themselves, and experiment with just how horrible and creative they can be. All that said, I'm in the same boat as you. I used to go there, but I avoid it now, because my tastes have changed. It's still good for a quick chuckle once every three months or so, but that's about it.
