I am trying to go into a deep warm hole filled with soft logical sounds and orange jelly, wrapped in a thick worn frayed blanket with barely visible geometric animal shapes of faded emerald green and yellowish colors, losing sight of everything outside that is chaotic and shallow, changing my fantasy to reality and my reality to fantasy, OPTIC, clever goblins, witches, ghouls, ghosts, elves, wizards, warlocks, flying creatures, and forest, electronic flutes, magical harps, potions, and fairies.
im lost.

Gee, that's a good question. I guess I just have faith in Tan∴ssin∴∵∴∴∵∴∴∵∴...

I like this simple text board. I expect that if I could post on 2ch and read japanese, I would post there instead. If 4ch could get bigger, and more diverse, it would be a good thing. There would be fewer idiotic posts and thus a bigger incentive to not be an idiot. Until then, DQN(s) rule this board.

Actual serious discussion on an anonymous text board. 4chan is good to go to, but you won't find much but bored people posting random crap there (only mildly-serious board there is /g/, and half of it is people trolling Mac/CRT [I don't use either]).

I really could care less about it being Japanese, 2ch, or whatever else you guys like. I'm here for actual discussion.

Seconded on the first comment, plus get a job stoner ( I kid! )

I for one am so tired of idiots randomly spouting memes. It seems that the little charm and intelligence of /b/ from the old days is long gone, and the only things left to look forward to (hardly worth putting up with the crap for them though) are the GETS, most of which are only fun because they manage to piss everyone off :D

GETS on 4chan = The ultimate troll to all inhabitants of the internet.

DEATH TO 4CHAN! NOOBS GO HOME! As long as they don't take over here I think I can remain sane.

Also don't forget about 4chan's high gaiafag population. All gaiafags do is post the same old memes and use weeaboo e-motes. Another problem is that any thing on 4chan can become copy pasta these days.

After browsing 4chan for quite awhile, I was surprised by the large gaiafag population.

I decided to look into the matter. Subeta was raided, and all the gaia account passwords were given out like candy. I took one and created an account using all the stolen items I had. I looked at the General Discussion board, and there were actually A LOT of topics about 4chan. It was horrible.

I like this text board a little more than 4chan's. Plus 4chan seems to me more about their image boards.

As for how I found this place... It's my friend's fault with his damn Densha Otoko.
I watched it and he was telling me about "Channels" in Japan and about 2ch and I was all "Hay, that's cool, lol!"

So I Wiki'd Densha Otoko, clicked a few links, and here I was. And here I shall stay.

I browse 4-ch when I’m bored and I don’t even know why. This is probably my third post or something.

There are a few other forums/boards that I just read, I hardly ever find a discussion worth contributing to where somebody hasn't already said what I wanted to say.

3) I don't know japanese so it's the best next thing I can get after 2ch.
4) I have no real life.
5) This forum will keep me busy killing my time before I discover a new "passion" that will also help me kill my time and help me get away from real life responsibilities, social life and generally live a life like a normal human...
6) I can finally say all those shit you just read to a bunch of people who will never really care just to have the illusion that I am actually talking to someone.

I kind of wish this board, or at least some board out there (for America), could be an honest place for people to really collaborate and converse.

After watching Densha Otoko, I find that kind of nation wide society seems amazing, and would be great to find in some real sense.

This is not an 'American' board, and it being centred around Japanophilia makes it unlikely it will ever grow beyond it's small target audience.
I doubt anyone would bother making an anonymous-cultured text/image board that was broadly directed at the entire English-speaking world. It's just too foreign a concept for many of those unfamiliar with 2channel to quickly grasp.

Prove me wrong by starting up your own Western-Centric kahera board. See if you can gain a larger audience than 4-ch, while still maintaining legality, text-based communication, anonymous posting, and lax moderation.
I'd post there. I'd help new posters acclimate to the culture. I'd even moderate it. I wouldn't finance it, though.

> it's an imitation of a japanese text board which attracts weeaboos

There may be a link between 4-ch and 2ch but that doesn't mean that 4-ch itself is "attracting weeaboos". People wear articles of clothing. The previous statement create a link between clothing and people. Does this mean that clothing attracts weeaboos?

You need to try again. State another reason why 4-ch is "centered around Japanophillia". I can think of three but you need to validate your own claims without resorting to meaningless or baseless assertions.

> is that specific enough for you?

No. And please use the correct terminology next time. when you use vague terminology or just mix up your words, you cause confusion. Do not refer to 4-ch as "a board". 4-ch is not a singular board. 4-ch is a bulletin board system. 4-ch is made up of a collection of boards.

96 Name: Anonymous Addict : 2007-10-10 01:07 ID:pYxDTSNg

> just look at the amount of socially inept tools in romance

A quick look at /love/ shows minimal references to Japan. The references to Japan and Japanophilia exist in that board but that doesn't mean that 4-ch has a philia towards Japan. It just means that some members of /love/ have a philia towards Japan.

> WTF is /iaa/

You're addressing the wrong person when asking that to be rephrased.

> centered around Japanophillia

It's an imitation of 2 channel, operated by and for the people who are interested in such imitation. This is chiefly the reason.

The existence of the nihongo board and nonexistance of other specialized language boards also clears this up.
There's the anime and manga board, rather than animation and comics, but I wouldn't post there even if the name and content was changed to such.
Also there's also the borrowed gags and art found in AA/DQN and some of the people who post here, which I was not referring to.
