/b/ is the most interesting thing about 4chan. People don't write about the other sections because they are boring and not especially different from the many other D&D forums.
Strong agree. It confuses me when people respond to articles about Anonymous and /b/ by saying, "You know, there are lots of other boards on 4chan!" My perennial answer is: So what? /b/ is the only one whose influence leaks out of 4chan itself, like rainbow-colored smog billowing out of a dilapidated smokestack. The article isn't like an encyclopedia entry on Asia mentioning only China; it's like a little kid opening a package of Starbursts and eating only the pink ones. Everyone knows they're the tastiest, and only candy apologists insist otherwise.

Yuck! The pink "strawberries" are the WORST!* I have a pile of them underneath my monitor when I'm unlucky enough to get one in the little two-packs.
* Out of the original flavors (orange, lemon, cherry, and strawberry.)
