Advantages:
* It's difficult to be prejudiced/biased against a poster because of who they are
* The focus is on the idea not the person who says it
* It is possible to say whatever opinion you like without repercussions
Disadvantages:
* It's easier for people to get away with contradictions
* It's easier for people to get away with for instance running away from the argument if they lose and then coming back in a different thread with the same opinions that were refuted earlier
* It's difficult to get to know a person. This means that one has to rely on the assumption of a shared culture to understand how that person thinks (not sure if this is true or not but it's an interesting idea)
* It is possible to speak in whatever tone you like without repercussions
The more anonymous the medium the more extreme the above points get.

So he right he abandoned us forever.
I wonder where shii is today
world2ch is dead as of today, hopefully somebody has some sort of archive.
The glory days of the internet have come to a close.
The jews have destroyed any hope left and all that is left on the table now is to destroy the entire planet, killing everyone and resetting the timeline.
The dramabomb seems to be back again. huh.

tokiko, what the fuck, lol. are you still on irc?

He is alive and well, and was last seen publicly defecating on some weirdo's chest.
I'm sad that site wasn't entirely archived. I would say it had important information on it.

Almost everything was archived. All that's missing is some images that were on the wiki.

Keep up the good work
Gikopoi is a fun 2ch-themed Flash game -- it's similar to IRC or a Habbo Hotel without AIDS. We got:
What do you think of this game?
General discussion, chat, secrets, rumors, etc thread!
gikopoipoi.net is fun and cute that's all you need to know. go to _for if you don't know japanese. you play as cute AA characters like giko and shii
i love it
don't come to gikopoi please if you are a disc*rd user

you can't be a discord user and a poi user at the same time. it is physically impossible
Explain Gikobois then. It's got iccanobif, Rosuto, Archduke, CATARP, and all the rest of the old timers.
what's there to explain
Then why are they always filled with conformists? Everyone on them conforms to the same thoughts and behaviors. Despite the fact that they don't have to because it is anonymous! They are like the 5 monkeys experiment played out. Why doesn't anyone use names or tripcodes frequently? Because a couple nerds 20 years ago wanted it that way and everyone just goes along with it. How foolish!
Now you might say other sites are filled with conformists too. And that just means there is nothing special about anonymous boards at all. The only thing that sets them apart is being populated by weird, mentally crippled nerds. If they were truly so great, you would see a much wider range of expression and experimentation in these places. But you don't. Because the people on them are too scared to be different even if no one knows who they are.
>Everyone on them conforms to the same thoughts and behaviors.
Which is why they are tearing each other's throats nonstop, eh? Sane people either left those places long ago, or no longer bother to correct bullshit. If you want to know how forums die, this is one way - zero trust to anything.
Everyone somebody says something, imagine that they mean the complete opposite. It often makes much more sense this way.

Users at 4-ch have been recognizing me by my posts (even though I was posting anonymously) because this is such a gay tiny community. It is lame, but you can probably tell who I am by the following text:

Because you stand out in the weirdest way possible... Don't think I've ever seen anyone else pad out their posts with tangentially related links + archived versions + metadata.
Imagine a forum conforming to OPs vision. Chaos! The only non-conformity I would value in a forum would be in a wider variety of the ideas themselves and not how they're conveyed. Conformity in expression is at least partially needed if there is to be clarity in intent. You can't expect every text-forum user to have any sort of interesting writing ability and must concede to the lowest common denominator. And lets face it, most board* users are.
Enforced non-conformity! authoritarian anarchism.
You'll pay to know what you really think.
Act like a dumbshit and they'll treat you like an equal.
>>1 >>4
My take;
As was mentioned in >>4, 4chan's culture does not allow for any mention or addition of anything not already established in 4chan culture i.e. they're a very conformitive online community. But forcing a non-conformitive community would not work and might end up being equally as bad. You're fighting a mostly invisible enemy; what are you preventing from conforming to, and is it possible to conform to non-conformity? I can't really answer that, that's something you'll have to figure out for yourself if you want a strictly non-conformitive online community. By what we've already established, a "better" online community than 4chan should be neither conformitive nor non-conformitive, but good luck if you're going to enforce how you want people to use your ideal boards.

I once uploaded Kareha onto a server I was running from home, purely just to test the software and study the code. I didn't advertise the board to anybody, and only made three test threads. Amazingly, after having forgotten about the board, and coming back a year later, I found it full of spam and links.
Everybody knows about textboard spam, wakaba's /soc/ board was removed after being spammed to oblivion, the site that wrote the original gazouBBS (futaba's sourcecode) script's demonstration boards were also full of spam comments written in English, so on, we've all seen it.
Where is it actually coming from though? Has anybody ever gone down the rabbithole of internet spam and bots? How do they find no-name sites that nobody visits? What is their end goal? Who actually runs these bots? Is anybody even running these bots or have they been on autopilot for decades? Is there a network of spammers? What is your experience with spam?
Within the past three years or so, "scambaiting" has become a popular genre of youtube and twitch content, with people investigating tech support scammers and robotcallers and whatnot, but I feel like nobody really cares about the rabbithole of people spamming on websites, when it is just as vast and fascinating.
from bots
>>18
Do you think that "real r**ed women" spam and the illegal content spam are the doing of the same people? For being man made, it's astonishing how aggressive and persistent it is. There has to be an endgame, but what it is is beyond me.
This thread reminds me of people who begin with an interest in a group of conspiracy theorist believers (e.g. Flat Earthers) and in their journey to understand the thought process of their subjects, they gradually develop a bizarre fascination and end up becoming the very thing they initially ridiculed.
If anyone here ends up evolving into a BBS spam bot manager and/or BBS spam bot, please detail your experiences in this thread.

You can do what multichan does and use image links to source embedded images. Best of both worlds. You get images but can outsource the liability.
>>25
If you do that don't forget to limit it to specific hosts only so people don't embed their own trackers to datamine users.
people keep posting cpz on my favorite altchan
is it feds or cloudflare
i think its just pedos
The quality varies a lot, this new guy seems to have figured out how to use the name/link fields AND html formatting to spam his shoe (?) websites.

That spam bot has been around for a long while now. I'm guessing it was originally made to seek out blog comment sections, I've seen similar spam on those and those also have name/email fields and either HTML or BBCode formatting. Actually, just supporting BBCode is enough to summon a swarm of spambots.
Chris-Chan just raped his mom and was arrested for incest.
The controversy over his pronouns/identity is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Crimes aside, he is not a traditional tranny and other evidence suggests he did it to widen his net of women available
>>14
Even among trannies there's a split between the everyone's valid bullshit or whether they're just a horribly abused autist. In general he's done a lot of fucked up shit, but I have sympathy because I doubt chris chan would ever have reached this point if people weren't abusing him daily for literal decades online. It's just sad, not that he still shouldn't be held somewhat responsible for his actions. i miss when chris was just a lovable autist that did stupid shit like yell at gamestop.
Chris appears in court on September 16th also Isabella Janke now has a lawyer.
I know right? lol people are seriously arguing over stupid shit also when Tucker Carlson referred to Chris as Chan as if Chan is his actual last name i facepalmed tbh.

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

Amazing. This is seriously the best post i've seen on here.
>>14
Google was still the best or only choice.
Unfortunately, Google chose to use Youtube to fight, and avoid really fighting, aggressive copyright enforcement.
The firewall is burning up.
Youtube was Poland, and as a buffer, it's disappearing.
Well its 16 years since this thread started and youtube is a fucking shithole.
The community together with the commercialism completly destroyed the whole platform. Not just that most of the content is literlly mass produced so it can generate literally hours woth of video material which can be forgeten in a few seconds after watching it,
no,
every fucking video has to be "family friendly" and "monetizable" what are just some fucked up words for boring and commerciable.
But there is more,
the real problem is not youtube casually striking down generlly good content (content which doesent bring up the wish to paint your walls with your brain), or the retarded 12 year old logan paul watching and fortnite playing community.
working for free is for cucks.
youtube now marks some videos as 18+ rather than deleting them sometimes. But they still delete vids if they are too 18+. And the way they mark those is very random, like, what is 18+ about this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yegm2IyiaoE And it requires you to provide your real id if you want to watch those, at least in some countries, which you shouldn't do, ever.
there are still not shit people on youtube, but they are kinda buried down, you need to know where to look.
videos are kinda expensive to store and transmit, we should go back to videogames and forums and such, those are more space efficient.
>>19
Until a year or two ago you could bypass the age restriction by changing the link to embedded (or just use yt-dlp, mpv…). Now it's a hard wall requiring log in. In many countries this requires phone numbers, credit cards, documents. Fuck that. Getting your video age restricted nowadays means the video is fucking dead. (Not even because people care about privacy, but simply because a huge chunk of users are kids)
I if ever do a YouTube channel it won't be on YouTube at all. I would unironically do this these days:
>Google is the best company they could've sold out to.

I used to use idlechan at school back in the day. 4chan was caught by the content filter very early in its life, but idlechan was not. I don't remember it being particularly worse or better, just slower.
worse is better
4chan used to have a vision that used to drive it forward. moot's flawed but nevertheless ambitious ideas for internet forums and the general community's confidence of the type communities that will beget in the future. What do we have now? Twitter and discord have supserseded the kind of humor and communities 4chan was once specialized in. moot discarded everything he used to stand for, hiro ignores the site's existence, the mods don't care. 4chan's once unique community engagements aren't unique anymore. The site's one novelty specialization today is to make both readers and posters upset.
the mods care plenty, it's just that they're also awful people who's idea of caring is shitting on the community and making it actively worse.
look at this list I made

I learned about porn when I was on a slow ass Mac in the school library and tried to go to yahoo.com but instead, because the first few keypresses failed to register, went to "hoo.com" (at the time some obnoxious porn site, not a crypto exchange.)
I closed the site before an adult saw me, then visited it in the privacy of my own home later.
We used a Mac at home too so I didn't get a virus.
