How did /int/ do it? Was it because of white people?
Boards that don't pertain to certain hobbies appeal to everyone and in turn become designated shitposting boards with lots of traffic.
>>61031014
Generals full of shitposting.
migrant cucking
>>61031014
/int/ was always a sfw /b/ with flags desu
>>61031093
I always thought it was more of an extension of /pol/.
>>61031093
but /b/ is just a nsfw /soc/ and furshit nowadays. its glory is long gone since jessie slaughter and sending bieber to north korea thing. /v/ is the king of 4chan now
>>61031014
/int/ exceptionalism and manifest destiny
>>61031143
you're fucking retarded and new, /pol/ was made after /int/
>>61031143
it's kind of funny how original /int/ memes like designated shitting streets poo in loo and >white are more associated with /pol/ than /int/
this board gets away with almost racist meme shit
>>61031238
Just saying that it seems like most users here started with pol and migrated over.
THIS
>>61031014
Flags makes here interesting
Another board should have this
>>61031014
It was created at the end of 2010. It was always moderately popular.
I think the deletion of /new/ was probably the biggest boost in popularity.
>>61031014
the country banter is fun
I wish /int/ was /b/ with flags but mods think otherwise.
>inb4 spurdo spam
>inb4 poland ukraines spamming cp and zoo
>inb4 russians taking over the board
This is a giant fucking country larping hugbox and thus easily accessible
roleplaying as countries is fun, no matter what the uppity retards tell you
>>61031168
/soc/ is nsfw
>>61033201
fuck off nigger
>>61031014
where did you get this information from
>>61031014
/int/ is the superior board.
It is not restrained by the alt right wing retards of /pol/,
It's taste in culture and appreciation for said culture is more refined than /a/s
It does not suffer the edge from /v/
It's banter surpasses that of /sp/
>>61031014
Isn't /b/ the most visited board on 4chan?
>>61033417
Are you sure you understand what alt right is? It seems like this term is just being thrown around as an insult
>>61031014
flags
Flags are literally the only reason why anyone visits this board.
Without them /int/ was as dead as /trv/
>>61031014
A lot of boards have become unironic (/pol/, /fa/, /fit/. /b/ is full of literal sickos)
/int/ is about the only board left that´s truly ironic.
Additionally it allows many opinions. You can be for Brexit, against Brexit, and ye people will also disagree but in general it´s pretty balanced. and people don´t gang up on you most of the times.
in short we´re the Sweden of 4chan and accept any and all refugees from other boards.

Edge from /v/? Have you been there? That whole board is a fucking mess. It's become shitposting and false flagging spam, and the mods remove all the interesting discussion threads. It's gotta be one of the worst boards on 4chan.
>>61032851
The mods are generally pretty lenient, at least compared to other boards. You can get away with a lot here, it's essentially a sfw /b/ if you add 1. Your Cunt in front of your thread.
