/b/ was first the creative outlet and eventually turned into the collective ego of a bunch of pubescent geek boys. Others are lured in by the "cool" postings there and are ridiculed, blackmailed and hacked after a brief seduction period when the new friends want out.
Hence, young girls who were stupid enough (allowed themselves to be bullied) to send questionable photos to someone they thought they could trust would suddenly find their private photos posted on that very board. Threats only upset them and they threaten and hack the victims when they can.
While I understand the site creator's mission, I think it's gone way too far. I haven't seen it in a couple of years, but still ain't feeling much love for it.
