I will admit that I was put off by all the porn and "tits, or GTFO" stuff when I first came to 8chan, but in my determination to follow the breadcrumbs and try to contribute, I got over it quickly and now am relatively unfazed by it. The Q team chose this board for several reasons, one of which is that it is pure, unfiltered freedom of speech. Even if the majority of the anons do their best to clean things up and present a more respectable face to the newbies/normies we can't stop the shills from shitting up the bread with porn and idiocy. This board has been relatively free of censorship, but I question if that can continue if we want to attract and keep new allies from the normie population. I read a post a while back that implied that the board is now owned and operated by US Military Intelligence and the QTeam. If that is true, they will deal with it as they see fit when the time comes.
I have been here since the transition from 4/pol. I do love the "wild West" feel of the board. I'm just saying that things might change in the near future if the Q Team feels it best serves their objectives.
