Me, I check once or twice a day. It seems like more people are coming each week.
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.

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.

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
>>167
Don't laugh, we predicted almost exactly what came to pass. Look upon that... place... and tremble at the power of prophecy.
DAILY!!! I like to keep up with the current events.
