look at this list I made

Not him but I can add stuff.

Wiki.
>>154
As of 2018 it still is alive, but barely. Apparently there was some sort of exodus to discord of all things.
>>161
No. It was such a stupid idea using gdrive for that list. I don't even know if that account still exists or not, because I refuse to touch a Google link. I should have uploaded to notabug, some kind of wiki, neocities, or even just an ipfs hash, for God's sake. There were so many things about that list that were so dumb. But I was a young and stupid teenager. Everyone rightfully hates me. And I uploaded that pastebin list anonymously, so I can't alter it, either.
Although I think I do have the org-mode file for the list on some hdd somewhere, it's not like I've ever written anything worth reading. The whole idea was honestly stupid. Furthermore, like >>168 said, most of the interaction only ever happens on IRC or YouTube or some kind of fotm proprietary platform, anyway, so it doesn't even matter. Idlechan is dead, all my favorite boards are dead, and 4chan uses Google's reCaptcha, so I can't even use it–not that I would want to, even through a hundred lines of regexp filters.
The state of 4ch/a/ has hit a critical point for me. Now I am drifting from dead chan to dead chan trying to find a new home.
One day I'll know enough jap to lurk futaba.
The vanishing point was over ten years ago. It's completely useless now, nobody even knows what you're talking about.
Reminder that 30 is objectively too old to be posting on chans. I'm feeling that fo' real.
Creamy, if you wish, I can fetch your list from Gdocs and upload it for you elsewhere.
Smaller imageboards will probably never relive their glory days of 10 years ago. The fascination and nostalgia we have towards participating in and exploring these communities are probably shared with people who used to frequent BBSes long ago...
Oh kinda interesting to see this hasn't changed. There's been a lot of new chans and stuff that popped up and a lot that have died so I came to see if he was still updating the list since the Google Docs one I have hasn't been updated for the past two years. Oh well, maybe it's for the best it's kinda pointless after all I guess.
>>170
4ch/a/ isn't THAT bad, tohno-chan and samachan are okayish, but I'm sure you know that already. Honestly, the quality that /a/ can maintain with the volume of posts it receives is kind of impressive, if only because it doesn't discriminate against lolicon (as much) and other hardcore fan stuff. What you might be looking for is one of those kitschy early web 2.0 forums, like AnimeSuki (yes, I know) or the like. https://ralee.org/ is also interesting.
>>168
Do you have any pointers to fun gopherholes?
I've only been reading up on the SDF stuff
>but from skimming it just seems like a lot of the issues 4chan has but in Japanese.
Ahahaha, no.
You should stop talking about things that you don't know.
May, the main board, is among the best places on the internet for any kind of manga and Japanimation discussion.
5ch and 2ch.sc are also good but for different reason, mostly related to the nature of textboards.
>You should stop talking about things that you don't know.
I agree. Though it can be vaguely entertaining to read incorrect interpretations. You ask yourself how on Earth he could have gotten that impression. I'll not speculate here.
Anonymity attracts garbage people who make garbage content. All great literature and philosophy is attached to a name.
>>179
The absolute state of this fallacy. Next you'll be claiming all great philosophers should cite their sources like it's some bullshit proprietary contest.
>>175
What is 5ch and why do I keep seeing it posted? I've never even seen it mentioned outside of here.
>>181
Ah nevermind, I'm an idiot. I had no idiot 2ch rebranded. I wonder why they did that?
>>182
AFAIK: Hiroyuki had a falling out with the American guy, Jim Hawkins, that he was paying to actually run the site. Jim continued to run the site for a while since he owned the server and domain name and was also located in the USA so Hiroyuki couldn't do diddly squat. Then Jim sold the site to some Japanese corporation. Then the Japanese corporation changed the site name because they thought it would make it harder for Hiroyuki to sue them or something.
Meanwhile Hiroyuki rage-created 2ch.sc which is a 2/5ch scraper and then bought 4chan and became moot 2.0.
>>183
So Hiro actually lost 2/5ch? Sounds like theft.
>>184
He has argued that, yes. Unfortunately for him, he operated them in a way that deliberately set up a legal minefield to guard against butthurt Japanese people suing over libel/warez/etc, and then found himself on the wrong side of that minefield.
Citing sources is, as to be expected, not only moral but necessary.
OP post ITT smells like Jkid. Even though the post itself was deleted years ago, the stench remains the same.
>>191
Years ago?
More like May, last year.
Does anyone have OPs link? I want to look at his list.
>seems to be older than world2ch's IB.
Does it, though?

>>199
It appears that I was wrong then, and that 0037's claims to superiority are vindicated.
>>198
B3ta was a long running British weekly photoshop contest which was completely unfunny because it was all about British shit and I didn't get any of the jokes. I remember I wanted to like it back then because of the high density of people competing to create original humor, but it was just too goddamned stubbornly and inscrutably British.
>>196
the oldest archive of that site
is july 19 2003
https://web.archive.org/web/20030719143050/http://mooniidx.com/
>>202
It seems to have existed at leastt as early as july 11 2003
>0037's claims to superiority are vindicated.
But what about that other IB linked later in the same thread?

> 4chan uses Google's reCaptcha
The vast majority of image- and/or textboards use Google's (re)Captcha, so the only alternative is to not frequent the ones that have privacy issues or stop visiting them altogether. Hell, even 4-ch uses Captcha + Google Syndication, for that matter.
>>169
I can't provide you the proofs, since we are on a textboard, but you can see for yourself by installing uMatrix or uBlock Origin.
rest in peace wakachan/iichan
endchan.xyz died for some reason
Are there any other Ayashii-styled anonymous BBS'es in english out there besides https://ralee.org/ maybe?
>>214
I fail to see what part of it is "Ayashii-styled".
Could you elaborate?
how do you use https://ralee.org/? I'm kind of new to textboards and the like besides 4chan.
>>214
Ralee has not even a trace in common with Ayashii World, and all you can find that are "Ayashii-styled" are actual Ayashii clones in Japanese, like @森 and @ひかり.
lmao
7clams seems to have died, apparently due to CP. Does anyone know when? It was alive back in February.
niggercord
Good thread
>>223
Bummer. One of the last places that was like a time capsule to the golden era of imageboards.
Welp samachan is dead since the owner was bored
>>227
A good chunk of the users moved to sushigirl
>>227
She seemed to be sick of it after the website was paused.
Thanks for compiling the list OP.
http://fightingamphibians.org/ seems to be down, another board bites the dust. Site has been replaced with a big fat SQL error.
>>231
Just a front for a steam group, no?
https://www.tokyotosho.info/?cat=9
TokyoTosho is having worrying technical difficulties.
>>233
I didn't know it still existed, but on the other hand I don't think it counts as an 'online community' in even a loose sense. Isn't it just a torrent tracker with an IRC channel?
>Isn't it just a torrent tracker with an IRC channel?
It has (had?) a forum I thought, I would consider it fair to say most trackers have a community although most private ones have reluctant users in fear of ruining their tree
I meant to post this here and not in the "Cucks" thread, sorry...
***
Does anyone know what http://futachan.org/ was about? According to an old post from Mr VacBob* it contained a "pretty web portal" for 4chan, but I can't find any more info on it. What exactly did the "pretty web portal" entail? Are there any screenshots left?
>>236
It probably was a proto-type for the then new front page when the sidebars were removed.
https://ayashii.net/ is a thing now that sonzaishinai is finally kill (thank you for your service yasutake) (;´Д`) . what do we think of it?
captcha: nujetion

hello, kuz

Lots of people saying nigger here

Why are russians so bad at naming websites, as if the dozen imageboards called 2ch weren't bad enough

Looks like Chakai.org is dead
>>245
Wait, is it really? I wasn't a very active poster, but whenever I visited it during tea time it was always extremely active. I assumed most of the posters were otakus that knew each other in real life.
>>246
Seems fine to me, unless you mean activity-wise.
Th' 'arty be dead tho
>>248
Th' 'arty is back, unfortunately(?).
Everything is dying
I'm doing my part!
''Pastebin.com - Not Found (#404)''.

Did anyone make a recent archive of all the images? There was a couple of threads I was hoping on grabbing.
It looks like 420chan is dead now, after the FBI raided Kirtaner on Aug 31st
bun...
Saw this in a fucking promoted Twitter ad of all places, probably because I only use Twitter to follow Japanese porn artists.
Consequentially it seems to be filled with normies but the concept is unique.
