Me, I check once or twice a day. It seems like more people are coming each week.
I check five to ten times a day.
I don't post very often, though. I don't know what to say :(
Three square meals a day.
0.4 to 5 times a day.
Every hour, on the hour. Even if I'm sleeping. I have a siren rigged up to my computer to go off if any changes are detected.
Because I am fucking hardcore.
Once or twice a week, I dont check very often really.
（´∀｀ ） once a day is fine with me. but I stay for hours.
About twice a week, and I'm the admin of 4-ch.
About once an hour, just to bump the "My Name is Squeeks" thread.
About once or twice a day. I've got 4 or 5 different forums I check, this one isn't as important to me as the others. Maybe if more people posted here it'd be higher, but until then it's just another thing I check when I'm bored.
About five times a day maybe. It may be low traffic here but it's still one of the most interesting sites I know of (it surely took the edge off my /b/-addiction).
I check here a few times a day, but I wish more people posted here. :\
I keep forgetting about this site. When I remember it, usually a couple of times a week.
Couple times a day usually.
>>12 you know, there's always nub.iichan.net/b/
I like 4-ch because it's a bit slower than the other 'chans. It allows you to really say what you want instead of just tossing whatever you can in before the thread is deleted.
>>17
That's because this isn't an imageboard, but a discussionboard.
Few times a day. I don't post so much though.
>>16
Am a bit tired of the /b/-concept alltogether, but thanks for the tip :)
>>20
IIchan's /b/ is somewhat different from 4chan's. Less flaming, posting of torturecat etc., more general stuff.
>>21
That sounds promising. I will inspect further.
>>22
You better pick a nick and a trip. Welcome to iichan!
Actually, nevermind that. Where did all the trips go?
i checked it many times a day until i stopped a while ago....today i've posted on EVERY board though.
With iichan/b you only need to check once a day! imagine all the time you'll have to do other things! like check 4-ch!
>>23,24
Yeah, iichan has a lot of tripfags. Kinda defeats the point.
I'll bet there'll be more now that 4chan bans are assembly-line processed.
Err, more anonymous posters. For some reason omitted those words.
I look through all of 4-ch about once or twice a week. It's usually pretty boring... I don't know why I keep coming back.
>>29 m9(^Д^)Pouhghaaa I Got you, a 4-channeler! LOL
I check at least a few times a day.
I usually just check general, anime, dqn, and tech, but check other/all boards when I'm really bored.
Too often, but not often enough.
1 time per week, sometimes 1 per 2 weeks
I try to visit at least once a day and post, but sometimes I forget. :(
Posting is good. Try to post a new topic of interest if the board is becoming stagnant!
i check whenever there are new posts.
rss ftw!
>>38
how do you get the whole thread to show up like that?
my akregator just shows the first post and a link that says "Complete Story", and if i click the link it opens the thread in a new tab...
>>39
right click on feed, pick "edit feed", check the "load page on read" checkbox in one of the tabs. Note that the english translation might differ abit from what I'm guessing.
the english is "load full website when reading articles" found under the advanced tab.
Not as often as I used to. :(
A few times a day. Wish there were more in /food and /manga :(.
I wish there were more people posting in AA. I love ASCII/SHIFT-JIS art, but I can't read Japanese that well (´・ω・｀)
I wish I had an rss reader that ran at the command line, so I could just type
$ rsscheckor something like that, and it'd print what sites had new stuff on them.
More often than I masturbate, if that's worth anything.
>>47
wow you must check it like 50 times a day
I'm checking it right now (at school) and i'm going to check it again when i get home.
Twice, maybe three times a week at most. I try to spread the word about this place but half my friends are pretty apathetic. :(
Well i new here, i got here just today, and i must say this place is great! :)
i think ill be checking it for quite some times a week!
2-3 times a day usually!
Every day, or every other day.
everyday at work
Maybe like 10 times each day.
once a month ^^;
5 or so times a day...
（´∀｀）Several times a day.
I check it at least once every three hours or so. （＾⊆＾）ニコニコ
I've been away from 4-ch for 2 months. Just got back today. Don't I deserve a welome back party?
see? I forgot there was a C in Welcome. Someone better be hiding a cake back there....
(（●）ﾄｪｪｪｲ（●）) Here, have a piece of Fancy Hearing Cake.
(ﾟヮﾟ) i check DQN every 45 minutes
but you need 3 weeks to find this thread. of course i believe you.
in face you needed over 4 months :|
I've been coming here more and more ever since 4chan /b/ started sucking more and more each day
every two days.
>>66
welcome to the group. you'll find a few expatriate /b/tards around 4chan alternatives such as here and iichan.
once every 3 weeks or so
Often, but it seems I have missed the initial activity rush
anytime i need ascii art fast
Every blue moon or so..
I keep a tab open to DQN whenever I'm on a computer with an internet connection. Which is most of the time.
tl;dr: Way too often.
I'm embarassed to say this but it's my first time. I popped my 4-ch cherry.
dozens of times a day
every 15 minutes, im HARDCORE DQN
wait, are we counting fap sessions or 4-ch sessions?
I'm fairly new but already I check three or four times a day!
I think we should all post more often, but keep it quality and keep the elitism!
I just started to come here tonight, but plan to check it a couple times a day if time allows.
I started posting today. Looks like I'll be checking 4ch when I can!
Seems like an interesting place.
Well I work for an internet company so I am looking a 4-ch about 10-15 times a day, even more if the boss goes away.
once every hour
from time to time, mainly out of boredom if 4chan /e/ has no new pictures
i check when there's time which i don't have a lot of these days
From time to time. Mainly when 4chan bores me. This place needs more promotion to gain more users...especially in Sports. How the hell did 2ch do it....
>>86
I like it small. I mean, more activity would be nice, but it's amazing how courteous and intelligent the average user is, especially considering how closely related we are to places like 4chan. It seems like, the bigger this place gets, the more jackasses get in, and the more 4-ch's quality drops. Thoughts?
> It seems like, the bigger this place gets, the more jackasses get in, and the more 4-ch's quality drops.
It becomes less eliteist and easier to post, hence "quality" drops.
there should be a balance.
If I post here everyday, the quality of my posts drop. right now when i read a post, chances are that its going to be around for a week or so, I might get back at it and post something eventually.
I check 1-2 a week. Would like it if it stays small.

I check it quite often, since I'm on dialup and 4chan loads very slowly.
EVERY DAY and too much!
On weekdays? Once in the morning before I leave for school...then again at break...once again at lunch...and then a few other times, after school. Yes, I check it too much -_-
I check every hour usually, unless im at school, then its once every 3 hours.
I used to check once or twice a week, now I check twice a day.
I only regularly check DQN.
The other boards are as good as dead.
The other boards are too emo.
Arrgghhh. I check about 8 times a day now. I'm new and just poking around the threads and posting, then waiting for replies.
Mainly because I just have nothing else to do besides play the wii ^___^;;
No, I'm not a Hikikomori! XDD
>>104 , chatting on msn does not count as real social interaction.
I'm new to 4-ch as well, I posted the densha thread yesterday. but I've been lurking on 4chan for months now.
this is my second time in two days to read the forum, i hope to become a regular fixture here ^_^
>>107
I have been greatly, I find the atmosphere here to be a great deal more relaxed and open than that of 4chan. Though I bet it's going to take me a while to adjust to the differences of meme.
I'm checking a few times a day, as I'm somewhat new as well; I tried to get into 4chan before, but it always seemed like a lot of chaos, more than necessary, and loads of porn, naturally; Not that there's anything bad about either of those, but it just seemed really overdone, and this is more the atmosphere I was looking for!
Several times a day when I post something, once every couple of days when I don't. Even though /a/ is starting to get into /b/ levels of thread lifespans, you can still sometimes get an interesting or amusing discussion. It's too bad they rarely last a few hours before maxing ages and dropping off the edge.
lol
IM CHECKIN' IT RIGHT NOW
I got into the Densha Otoko tv series from a friend of mine, then I got into the Manga ("Densha Otoko," not either of the "Train Man" ones) and that got me to look up 2chan on Wikipedia, read the original posts in English, then i found this board and I'm not addicted.
Thus is my saga.
>>113 Same, except I didn't watch the TV series or manga, I just read the translated posts.
I'd love to find a fiction book (or a few) written in the style of a message board or chat room. Preferably comedic... That would be geeky-awesome. ^^;
Well, there's "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole (Aged 13 and a half)" which is written in the style of a diary, that's fairly good.
There's probably a Densha Otoko novel written in messageboard style - that might be worth looking out for. Not sure if you could find it in English though.
This is the first time I've been to 4-ch. I'm a regular poster over at 4chan, and then I read something about how 4-ch had become somewhat of a successor to the now defunct world2ch.

I'M CHECKING IT RIGHT NOW.
I think someone already typed that.
But I couldn't find it. So I typed it.
kills self lol
I check it about 50 times a day because of an internet addiction. But I rarely post anything. It is my secret shame.
checkin as we speak, I check it about once a week
>>120 same here :I
>>124 same here :I
Too often
I check about 5 times a day during the week, because I can't check 4chan due to filters at work, so I come here to post my questions.
I'm new here, but so far I've checked it about twice a day.
Nothing much happens here but I'm trying to post more than I would elsewhere (I'm kind of a lurker), and I'm also trying to give the link to people who are good/interesting/prolific conversationalists :3
At least once an hour.....
(-__-) It gets pretty lonely here.
(-_____________________________________________-)
(-____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________-)
Used to be once a month, now every night. (around midnight-ish.)
Used to be once every couple of days then I left for months.
Now I check every couple of hours.
I refresh the page every 5 minutes only to be let down.
Probably a few times a day.
A couple times a day as of recently.
>>1
It's a pretty attractive idea to be able to post whatever you want with (relatively) no punishment, so I check once or twice a day if I don't find something I'm interested in talking about.
nigger
SRLS. GB2/b/
three times a week
I check it every 10-15 minutes
Every seven months or so.
It's always here when I need it.
Everyday.
More than I should.
once a month usually, dqn almost never
just checked dqn right now fuck its horrible
to the 2-3 smoothbrains who post all the time you’re incredibly boring and without a trace of humor
Have a good trip.
http://goo.gl/YLysV3
Every other day.
once every 2years see yuo soon
I've been waiting for this page to load since 2008. Finally able to post.
Sometimes it's daily sometimes it's monthly. Depends on how masochistic i'm feeling.
I've been here every day for the past week.
Every few months when the intense pangs of weltschmerz and nostalgia for the old days of the comfynet really start to hit hard.
If I close my eyes, I can almost hear the modem dialing.
Once a decade is good enough
Anyways, please listen to me. That it's really related to this thread.
Does anyone know what's up with the (（●）ﾄｪｪｪｲ（●）) name fellow? It's not that his posts particularly bother me, but it does seem strange that he'd go around attaching a name to them. It feels slightly jarring.

In this relation i also really miss idlechan. It was such a good, mixed and slow but clean board.
>>159
i archived so many things from so long ago thinking what a tragedy it would be if they were lost
i have them now and horrible thing that i couldnt have imagined was that ultimately nobody is left to care
>>163
Yeah, there's that. It always logically seemed to be one of any number of possible endings, but indeed feels quite bleak. Existential ruminations became commonplace for that very reason.
Is it a disappointment that we are all alone together again as before, or just bittersweet like the inevitable passage of time.
>>163
>>164
I never really thought something that seemed to matter so much to so many people could be forgotten so quickly. How many years is it since the idea of having a personal site, or visiting mostly the personal sites of others, stopped being considered "the way it is"? If you spend any time bouncing around old Tripod or Angelfire (or Geocities if you go on an archive) there's clearly so much love poured into these sites, and it's not all children or teens because many adults also were immensely passionate about their chosen presentation or theme.
Yet now all of this is gone. I wonder how many ghost sites there are, which are connected to the web but never accessed and hosted on ageing hardware or part of someone's monthly bill they've never really though to cancel.
One day a site could go offline simply because the owner was reminded that it was even there at all.
I check here maybe once every couple years now.
It's just not the same anymore, is it?
lol at the anons complaying about /b/ in 2007
>>163
I was clearly in a rather somber mood when I made this post... It gets better, friends
>>164
Thank you.
>>165
Social media seems like the obvious culprit to me. I suspect the number of interesting things hidden in the ghost web to be fairly. A comparable dataset would be the collected works of cuneiform sitting in museum collections around the world. The vast majority have not been translated fully. Some are treasures of archaeology - Plimpton 322 comes to mind. Most are little more than records of account and inventory.
It might seem that we have lost the Library of Alexandria many times over, but ours were full of phonebooks. Hobbyists of the 90s and the 00s didn't have to be sophisticated because they didn't have to compete with anything for our attention.
>>168
fairly few

Don't laugh, we predicted almost exactly what came to pass. Look upon that... place... and tremble at the power of prophecy.

I think it's nice to know that people like us still exist. The fact that we're checking on dead websites almost 10 years after the last significant traffic, and the fact that it still allows us to post is neat.
>>178
There's beauty in the simplicity. <3 4ch!
I actually think it's better in a way now that there's no rational reason to even be here.
Once or twice a day.
I check it daily, it's a good site.
This is my first time back in about a decade. I lost my curry recipe in SSD fuckup, then I remembered I'd posted it on this site. http://4-ch.net/food/kareha.pl/1238592531/
Lucky me, I got it back. Thank god for people who run reliable long term internet services. Looks like I've been gone for about 8 years and 12 days.
Should I come back more often in the future?
I stumbled upon 4ch when someone said something that reminded me about tanasinn. I positive it's not my first time here, but it's been so long that it feels like meeting up with an old friend, but only by chance. I check DQN about once a day, and I'm just now checking out the other boards. It feels like I'm 15 again.
Almost everyday, at any given hour. Yes, I'm an addict; as my name implies, duh.
>>189
Me too!
We are like vengeful ghosts haunting the dying carcass of 4-ch, permitting it no rest as it takes its rattling last breaths.
Every couple weeks months to make bad low effort posts
i just found this website and im curious as to what its about.
>>192
It's an English knockoff of the most popular Japanese bulletin board, 2channel, except 2ch has millions of daily users and 4-ch has about four of them these days.
There is no particular focus for the site as a whole, but the most active board is "DQN," which is named after a 2ch slang term for dumbasses and has the kind of content you would expect given that.
4-ch used to have competing English websites, like world2ch and world4ch. Somehow it outlasted most of them.
>>193
Compared to the various eras of prolonged inactivity the past couple years have been rather brisk in terms of post rate. I would wager when compared with say, the earlier part of the decade after 2012ish that the site is more active than it was, especially outside DQN.
I haven't checked this site in quite a long time. Thought about it today after a whim took me to 7chan so I decided to stop by
Neat to see this blowing up a little bit. Cheers
I found 4-ch a few years ago as a teen. I felt like I had "graduated" from 4chan, so I looked for other chans to post on that I thought were "better quality". I browsed a handful of boards (like 20-30 lol) pretty much every day for a year. Over the years I cut it down to 5, then 3, then 2, then none at all. I haven't posted regularly anywhere in like three years. These days I visit some boards every few months when I feel really bored, like I'm doing right now.
>>196
Do you use social media or something or do you just not talk to strangers online anymore?
everyday. when i'm not on 4ch, i'm using 2ch, nico or youtube, sometimes i use irc.
>>198 Theres an IRC which isnt dead? ded srs?
>>199
Plenty, you don't even need to look very hard. #jp on Sageru and #tinychan on Rizon are good places to check out.
>>196
samachan.org is a good board and its active as well
>>201
irc.sageru.org
Why are you accusing me of insanity?
>>204
If you're on an that isn't 4chan statistically speaking you're at least mildly autistic.
About once every 4-5 years, I'll probably check through again by the end of 2024
checked
>>205
It's mostly teenagers and early twenty-somethings, which is understandable considering it's sort of rare today for someone to have experienced the goodness of imageboards and non-static forums in their hey-day--they just don't know / care that there was something that was (for some) a thing that was actually worth using.
For me, the last place that was worth regularly checking into was krautchan, and now that that's gone I consider the *chan-verse to be essentially dead, defunct, inert. I'm beginning to be getting too old for this shit anyway. But it will always be a part of me though and I will never forget the special joy it brought me. It really has been an honor
>>208
Just curious, how old are you?
I check every few days, depends on my mood
this thread needs to be preserved
