this is so stupid. i am a frequent poster on 4chan, and have been for some years. /b/ used to stand for something, and it did meaningful things, like the AT&T attack. now i post manly on /o/ (the automotive board), and check in every once in awhile to see how bad things have really got, and its heart breaking and disgusting. im not sure if it was /b/ or ebaums thats at fault, but im disappointed in whomever it is. also, i would like to point out that all the reports i have seen claim that "4chan did this" or "4chan did that." 4chan really isnt that bad of a place, as long as you avoid certain boards, and especially /b/.
tl;dr if this was the work of /b/, dont blame all of 4chan for it. we're not all bad.
