Screenshot of the upper left hand corner of b3ta's homepage. At the uppermost in tiny text is "we love the web"; below that the typographic "b3ta" logo, main links "Messageboard", "Links", "QOTW", "Challenges", and "FAQ". Below that is the header for the "Best of the Board" homepage section, with a scant fragment of the most recent BotB post.
At this point, somewhat predictably, a hangout for middle-aged guys who are too busy and tired to make intricately clever photoshops any more, and some of the edginess has been sanded off* but they still have weekly image challenges and (vaguely-)weekly newsletters.
The source from which the Spongmonkeys, Weebl & Bob, Mushroom Mushroom and many other memes have sprung, the place Cyriak and film director Ben Wheatley (as "Mr. and Mrs. Wheatley") got their starts, the missing link between the London and Silicon Valley hacker communities (through Cal Henderson). Among other things.
