There's more to 4chan than /b/. For example http://dis.4chan.org/prog/ http://dis.4chan.org/prog/

  It's true. They recently launched boards for Literature, News, International, Science & Math. But /b/ is by far the most, how you say, "impactful" of the boards, at least in terms of attention from the wider Internet community. And yeah, sad to say, if you only looked at /b/, you'd think that anonymity led straight to kiddie pr0n.

    /b/ also functions as a honeypot. The other boards are more strictly moderated to stay on topic, free from trolling and racism, and worksafe. The ability of those boards to stay sane is in part a function of having a board like /b/ where misbehavior is permitted (with only the bare minimum of limits). Were it not for the ability to let off steam at /b/, the other boards might not function as well and might be disrupted more often.

      Just look what happens to /x/ every time /b/ goes down.
