I get the other random/general boards like /b/, /r9k/, esfores, /trash/. I don't get /bant/. What's its purpose? Why does it exist?

i see. I haven't been on /pol/ in years so I can see why I was confused now.

Makes sense country flags are fun. Just from looking at the catalog for a little while they act very generically 4channish but with some random shit like a vn general and a stock market general

I remember it used to have more nuance back when it started, but it quickly devolved into random nonsense.

Hi i use bant regularly since almost 5 years now
It used to be about banter, but nowdays its about discord Threads, moved pol threads and generals

Funny to say that when it has been 8 years or so since/bant/ was created you can even see the 'news' above the catalog lol

/bant/ exists in order to praise Cirno
