this place is as active as dirt
am I going to have to learn nihongo and move to futaba?

If I am here and you are here, maybe we could talk...

>>2 weather's been dreadful lately, huh?

I'm here too. We don't to move to the japanese web, it's just that 4-ch is an example of how not to do a textboard.

Is there even any other option?

yeah, we could make a textboard with imageboard software and advertise it to non-imgb usars. that'd sort of work i think.

>>6
In a new site we shouldn't separate topics unless there's a real demand.

>>7
Eventually we should have more convenient interfaces, for example to be able to view a stream of new posts of selected boards.

Maybe having different boards is too inflexible, so there should be a single board and the first poster should just use hashtags.

Yes! We need more textboards! Imageboards have become tiresome and inundated with outdated culture. I'm on board!

Although I'm not in favor of re-purposing imageboard software as it tends to be clunky. Textboard software should be easy to make. Somebody set up an IRC.

I'd love to move to 2chan but I don't know how to post there because I don't read Japanese. Whenever I try posting, there always seems to be a message.

>>11
foreigners aren't allowed to post there. We need a proper replacement with some sort of a following.

GOOD MORNING GENTLEMEN

I am the owner of 42chan.org, a site which is a hub for English 2ch and translating 2ch into other languages.

You can't post because you have a foreign IP, you need to buy Hiro's ronin pass (3.5 bucks) or use a non-detectable Japanese proxy.

If you guys want to revive textboard culture, someone make an IRC or a discord and I'll be happy to help!

>>8
theres only one text board on 26ch.net

>>14
but with kureha you have to put titles and that kills spontainty

>>15
titles arent required on 26ch

>>15
No you are thinking of the insufferable "verification" barrier we deal with here.

>>16
oh, ok

I think English textboard culture is near extinct. I've already taken the blackpill on it and have moved onto browsing 2ch with a nihongo translator.

Prove me wrong.

>>19
I'd rather try and create textboard culture in English than browse in a language I don't understand. Even with translators, you miss a lot of context.

>>19
It's not entirely gone, but it has been classified by academe as a critically endangered species, extinct in the wild.

Now it can only be observed in closed environments that are so self-referential and meta that it is incomprehensible to anyone that's not an Internet archeologist.

Without a plan to preserve that culture that isn't all talk and no action, those moments will be lost. Like tears in the rain.

>>21
That self-referential meta garbagio is exactly what I'd like to avoid. It's played out, there's a reason it's endangered.
