Every time I find a new textboard, I keep seeing the same names over and over. "kuz", "heyuri", "4x13", and I sense a general atmosphere where everybody knows each other. I remember namefags in my day, but it's different from that because it feels like everybody knows each other even when they're posting anonymously.
Most of them are run and used by the same teenage users. The moment one is made they advertise it on the same websites and get exactly the same userbase.
You now have the ability to see what those boards are and avoid them.
My thoughts on obscure textboards that get made every month or so in what I assume to be for fun coding projects, doesn't it make more sense if everyone joined forces and instead attempted to cultivate activity on existing and somewhat alive textboards?
4-ch for example has a broad range of boards and long term relatively active in comparison with fly by day textboards that come and go at a whim. If everyone tried to grow threads and discussions there (anywhere but the General board where idiots go), would it not have a bigger and longer lasting impact on the future of textboards? I've seen so many textboards come and go, but there's only two that I've kept visiting all these years because they never die and I know my thread will still be there next year if I want to revive a discussion.
I try to do my part in keeping the two boards I go to somewhat alive, but they could genuinely grow if people were to bring more passion to them by bringing creating a thread for a topic that interests them and bringing a few like minded people to join those threads in particular so they stick around long term for other threads too.
H*yuri is a pedophile website. Stay away from those people.

I would like to see more niche boards instead of people just copying the same staple textboards like /lounge/, /vip/, /prog/, /anime/, whatever.
I want, for instance, a board for discussing bomberman games, a board for the MS Dos game Jetpack, a board for gardening, a board for chess (no other board games allowed), a board for baroque music, a board for the sanskrit language, and a board for radio collectors.

This goes for imageboards as well, imo.

If it was just that. They are annoying, that's the problem.
>a board for the MS Dos game Jetpack
Being able to post all your diabolical custom level designs would be obligatory.

Even though it's not fully a txtboard, this is unironically true. I tried using it for a while because I like their philosophy of forbidding 2010s+ topics & encouraging OC. Since every site these days always gets overrun with the same shallow nigger this, tranny that. Most of them really are underage and some have even posted nudes, but they never get perm banned, they're told to just not explicitly state their age in the posts. They hang out in the chatroom all day linking to each others sites, sorta like what >>2 said.
Once someone started dumping tons of medical journals of "legal" cp, I gave up.
The whole concept of image/text boards is so niche. Any that last more than a few years become quite well known because no one who isn't already familiar with them likes or understands the point of them.
I've seen many tiktok children posting about 4chan, asking "i dont get it, its ugly, how do i use it" purely because it has this big spooky reputation as some dark-web adjacent website.
IMO the closest thing to a new audience these sites can get are the kids who are into neocities,spacehey,nekoweb old internet larp sites. But while they like the aesthetic of "old web", they'll mostly always have a link their discord,(or eqiv) to have a real instant msg conversation.

there was a brief edit war before an admin said no
>>26 ranting about shit and then calling it manufactured controversy kinda undermines your point. but in all likelihood, if it really isn't relevant, then the original author of the article or whoever added that in probably just didn't do enough research. go fix it if it bothers you
It was removed again because of "muh advertising"...
Consider bringing up in the talk pages that its one of the oldest kareha textboards out there, is well known among textboard users, and that it was mistakenly removed because of actual not noteworthy textboards trying to advertise themselves.
good
Is there any reliable encyclopedia website to recommend, preferably a static website or a web1.0 website, I don’t like websites with too bloated scripts
Came here from the wikipedia talk page itself. lol.

I googled Encarta and was sent to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education which features an "AI-powered assistant". It's all over.
Also if there was really a web-based version of Encarta I bet it didn't have that cool maze game.

For the past year or so I've been wasting away my free time editing Wikipedia. I have found it to be quite fun and I like doing so, however Wikipedia has a plentitude of problems, which are only getting worse (centralization, censorship, shady donation business and more), so I want to find some other interesting projects, that I could contribute to. On Wikipedia I mostly edited computer science/otaku-related articles, since that is what I'm the most knowledgeable about. The purpose of this thread is NOT to compile a big list of Wikis, but rather to discuss what Wikis are particularly good to edit.
Some Wikis, that I can recall from the top of my mind are:
I like the Shikadi DOS Games Modding wiki. But updates from anyone are pretty infrequent because of the information being very niche and usually requiring a lot of personal research time.
There's also an adjacent Commander Keen wiki that's pretty much the place to go if you want to find Keen mods. But I only bother with reading that one, not editing.
the best way to use wikis is for trolling, terroediting is the best think to do
Some more Wikis I came across:
While the Thinkpad Wiki sounds in theory interesting, it is has two problems. One being, that you can't register yourself really, as long as you don't reveal your real name to the Admin, which I certainly won't do. Other than that, the Wiki itself is fine.
The SigID Wiki is very nice. You can edit without an account, but you may create one without any further problems. The Wiki itself is neatly organized and the signals are well documented. There seems to be an active, albeit small, community surrounding it too. I don't know much about Signals, so I can't really contribute besides minor editors like fixing spelling mistakes, but I might contribute more once I gained enough knowledge about it. Bonus points for using the Monobook theme.
look at this list I made

It looks like that archive is dead now. I wonder if everything there is lost forever...
Looks like /azu/ has a new home though:

I'm glad to see you post this because I just happened to start rewatching that for the first time in a really long time. I didn't realize it was so old...!
4taba may be closing?
>Long story short, I don't want to moderate the place and no one has added a solution to deal with some of the spam(the CP is ultimately inevitable). Since there's no one I want to give the site to I'll ultimately close posting and pay the renewal on the server. What will be left running is the archive function I added at some point and the contents of the site.

>Unless there's an alternative method that people want to reach out to me for. I don't have trust in handing over the site to random people and would rather keep it around as an archive.
4ct.org seems to have gone down a while ago without anyone noticing!
GNFOSmin got owned so hard in monhun that he deleted gn and sold the domain and deleted his twitch account
yeah that was surprising. I didn't expect trevor to actually give up the ghost like that.

Does anyone here have the original Gear Navy Nevada hooded sweatshirt?
The original isn't sold anymore so those who have them, get them on eBay and notify the chans ASAP if you're willing to part: You'll make a killing!

Cracky chan was NEVER attractive and i HATE HER
The funniest part of the Cracky-chan saga was when she became an edgy white woman with dreadlocks.
She is a middle aged woman now... she probably just wants to be left alone and this bad part of her childhood forgotten...
cracky chan always kinda grossed me out tbh
otherwise, I think it's very easy to find nevada-tan's hoodie now
She was gross and not that attractive but she was the original and very sweet.
it's been a while since i've seen that name. seeing nevada-tan mentioned, i now remember that girl who livestreamed herself committing suicide. what was her name again? i remember there was a song made about the incident

Seems like a perfect match. Google is the best company they could've sold out to.

I wish it weren't so saturated with endless content. it's like when you walk into a restaurant with three tvs blaring. you walk outside and there's flashing advertisements and music in the town square. you buy a loaf of bread and it's filled with sugar. the grocery stores have rotten produce but plenty of candy.
I think after all these years, I've come to realize that I actually am very addicted to the Internet. To endless stimulus. I knew better, but I succumbed to it anyways. And so did everyone else.

I can't take it anymore. There's just too much stuff hitting you all at once whenever you use a large enough site. Its frying my brain.
Stop using them less and less, then. If you go out of your way to engage, then you're going to see it. I understand it's hard not to - it's an impulse we've wired into our brains - but you can slowly taper away.
If possible, spend more and more time away from the computer. There is so much in the world for you to do that you could almost never even need one. Just learn to use it less, do more in real life that will keep you occupied so you don't open up Twitter or 4chan just because you're bored and eventually you just stop giving a shit for the most part.
things really went to shit in the 18 years since this post was made
agreed. my invidious instance doesn't even work anymore because of "community safety". ffs, I'm using an invidious instance [i]because[/i] I'm concerned about my safety. I don't mind advertisements per se, but the logical conclusion of the advertiser model is drm, insane amounts of data harvesting, and forced accounts.

Is there a working way to download the videos to a local file in [CURRENTMONTH]? The VLC trick and ssyoutube worked earlier this year but it seems both of them have been killed recently.
>>36
How do you not know about yt-dlp?
I just downloaded something two hours ago and it worked just fine. If it doesn't work, you can try circumventing blockage by using Tor with torsocks or a VPN. Try multiple times with a different proxy. J-Downloader 2 should still work too, if you prefer GUI, but I haven't tried it lately, so it might as well be kill in regards to Youtube.
Tonight I'm doing a play through of the albums by the Aquabats.
They released a new album , Kooky Spooky.
Currently 2 songs in and it's halfway good.
This station rules, I loaded it into my internet radio player a couple days ago and have been listening to it daily now. Thanks for the recommendation!

Takeshi Abo's soundtracks, usually his work on the SciADV and Infinity series
Currently to some demoscene music webradios:
https://www.scenestream.net/demovibes/
https://www.kohina.com/
There is all sorts of stuff from old video game music, to keygen music and more. Once in a while, when I like a track particularly, I download it, but most of the time I just let it run in the background.
>>47
I knew about Nectarine but not Kohina. Good shit.
Depends on what I'm in the mood for, though usually it's either anison or rock.
Right now I'm listening to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBedISPe3S8
Hypnospace Outlaw's Soundtrack is pretty good to surf the web to

This has always been my experience with IRC. All rooms are dead. It's difficult to find active discussion. Only discussions I've found when looking is in the private tracker scene.
