4chan /tg/ board

4chan now has a board for traditional games, known as /tg/. It’s suprisingly popular

I’m not quite sure what to think about this…4chan is both a blessing and a curse. There’s some cool stuff that I’ve found on their image boards but the majority of the users are either fuckwits, retards or some combination of both. It is a bastion of anonymous posting, as well as the subculture that goes along with the practice - someone on /tg/ in the first few days summed it up nicely when they asked who were really RPG.net posters that had come over so they could call people fags and not get banned.

Yet, for some reason I’m drawn there. It’s just some weird compulsion that regardless of all the completely useless crap there might be something useful there. It’s the same reason I frequent /m/, the mecha image board. Maybe I’ll be able to contribute something useful to a thread. Maybe I’ll find out about something I’ve never seen before. Maybe I’ll just have to shake my head at the stupidity.
