So I'm a bit of a new fag, I'm confused because some boards have threads lasting a few days without much activity, and on my main board,/b/ the threads usually last around 4 hours. What's up with this?
It's because some boards are just more active than others and /b/ is the most active part of the cesspool.
/b/ is just really popular. Everyone comes to 4chan through /b/, but then eventually moves onto other boards once they get fed up of it (pic related).
Some threads on other boards can last weeks. It's not because they're inactive, they just have a smaller user base.
OP here, let me get this straight, the smaller the board the longer the thread?

>the smaller the board the longer the thread?
If by longer you mean 'time before it gets archived' then yeah, usually.
Threads on /vg/ or /sp/ have 750+ post caps, which I think is higher than /b/ or /r9k/, etc. The threads can last days, but all discussion on a particular topic is usually confined to it (ex: football match)
