458==============================
4591. Introduction
460==============================
461
462The reason I decided to make this guide was primarily because I just wanted a reference for myself, but this can also to benefit all of you, if you find ED’s list of imageboards too hard to pallette. If you have an idea as to how I might make this guide more accessible, feel free to contact me.
463While I’m vain enough to share my opinions to the public, I don’t consider myself an authority on any of this, and I know that, at some points, I’m just blogging. I’m sorry if you find that annoying. I’d be happy to listen to your two cents on a particular forum, and I could even add what you’ve said, if you’d like me to.
464
465★ I’ve used a star to mark websites that I find demonstrate exceptional qualities.
466
467I’ll evaluate the forums in these criteria:
4681. First Impressions
4692. Navigation
4703. Content
4714. Attractors
4725. Making Contact
4736. Knowledge of Users
4747. Making Contact
475
476I’ve also omitted most of the honeypots and porn, as their decline and being taken down is probably inevitable, and they have no substance, anyway. To expand on that, I’d estimate that there’s more than a few hundred sites comparable to an imageboard made just for porn, and I don’t really want to dredge up that stuff.
477Due to how ephemeral their addresses are, I did not put in the effort to include sites accessible by means of Tor.
478
479If you’re not familiar with most these kind of sites, please be aware that the content on anonymous boards strikes a stark contrast with the rest of internet communities in terms of content and conventions. While I suppose you don’t have to, please visit each site with an open mind and a willingness to afford time reading a thread prior to posting. In addition to that, please take the time to learn and conform to the board's culture. Pay attention to the milieu of the board, and also remember that any sort of idea can be posted, thus it is very likely that you will be offended in some way.

4822. Imageboards
483==============================
484
48502ch
486https://02ch.in/
487Russian
488
489This site is not affiliated with 02chsu, apparently. I guess the site owner just liked the name and took. It’s very lazily made, though.
490It’s a shame there aren’t an infinite amount of numbers, or else the site owner could have come up with something new and original.
491
492------------------------------------------------------
493
49402ch.net
495http://02ch.net/
496
497Another attempt at reviving 02ch
498
499------------------------------------------------------
500
50102chsu
502http://02ch.su/
503Russian
504
505There’s not much to see. This imageboard uses a the default template, and it has all the regular boards.
506
507------------------------------------------------------
508
5090chan
510http://0chan.cc/
511Russian
512
513From what I’ve seen, 0chan has a reputation as one of the more popular Russian-speaking boards. If iichan is Wakachan’s Russian counterpart, then 0chan is probably 7chan’s Russian equivalent.
514When posting, you can utilize the buttons above the posting field that input the BBcode for you. What you might not notice is that you can cycle through all the banners at the top by pressing the circle icon.
515
516You can see the instant 0-chan script being demonstrated on the /meta/ board. You’ll find that this script is somewhat popular among Russian imageboards.
517
518------------------------------------------------------
519
5200-chan
521http://0-chan.ru/
522Russian
523
524The former address of 0chan. You’ll find the site is still there, but you cannot interact with it.
525
526------------------------------------------------------
527
5280chan.cf
529http://0chan.cf/
530
531Another site that attempts to emulate 0chan
532
533------------------------------------------------------
534
5350chan.esy
536http://0chan.esy.es/
537
538The site isn’t really an imageboard, as it redirects you to the address 0-chan.ru, but this page makes its attempting to emulate 0-chan much more obvious.
539
540------------------------------------------------------
541
542100l
543http://100l.yzi.me/
544
545Another forgettable site, unless you haven’t seen the script that it employs, yet, but the lack of content makes even that worthless.
546
547------------------------------------------------------
548
5491337chan
550http://1337chan.tk/
551Russian
552
553On the homepage, you might find that the site has a sort of radio that plays automatically, assuming that you haven’t augmented your browser with a script that may suppress that sort of stuff. The site owner and/or whoever maintains Ghost Anime Radio seems to like J-Pop, anime OSTs, and EDM—typical nerd stuff.
554It’s a good thing Russian text doesn’t permit leetspeak, or else that would be yet another thing to add to the list of bothersome things this site boasts. The site’s posting is similar to that of The Department of Redundancy Department in that the site owner has added an image at the top-right corner, but instead of a flower, the owner has decided to add an anime girl, presumably his waifu.
555
556------------------------------------------------------
557
5581chan
559http://www.1chan.net/
560
561A really small board made by a train enthusiast for the discussion of trains. The site also has its own little Overchan, if you want to check that out.
562
563------------------------------------------------------
564
5651chan.inach
566http://1chan.inach.org/
567Russian
568
569At first glance, you might notice the upvote/downvote system that the site has, along with the star icon, which I’m assuming is a way to toggle a post as your favorite. It functions like an imageboard, though, as you can add an image to your posts; however, similar to /what/, you aren’t compelled to add a photo to your post.
570
571------------------------------------------------------
572
5731Eden
574http://www.1eden.com/
575
576I have nothing against someone trying to deviate from “tradition” with what I suppose you could call an “experimental” board, but the site is undeniably bad. At this point, why not just make an actual forum or a subreddit or something?
577
578------------------------------------------------------
579
5801chanus
581https://1chan.us/
582
583What makes this site special is that you have to get an invite in order to post, which you can obtain by going onto the IRC and begging for an invite. However, as you might expect, there is very little that justifies its being exclusive. The moderators, having come from /b/, I imagine, have a very low quality threshold. You may have stumbled upon Anon-IB while browsing this guide, and if you were interested in that, you might be happy to know that this forum boasts the same feature of creating your own board. This one has a slightly larger userbase than anon-IB, so that’s something to enjoy. That particular feature might be the only reason that justifies its being exclusive, as moderation and general quality control on the boards coming through is easier that way. It’s pretty inactive, though.
584
585------------------------------------------------------
586
58710ch
588http://10ch.org/gazou/
589Japanese and English
590
591What 10ch tries to do is assemble a sort of amalgam of English and Japanese content through a built-in feature that automatically translates English content into Japanese and vice versa. The content isn’t really that good, though, to be honest, but if you want to mingle with some anonymous, Japanese strangers and a bunch of other weebs, then go ahead.
592
593I just rechecked the site, and it seems to be down. We’ll see how long that lasts, but if it stays down too long, I’ll go ahead and bury it in the graveyard :’(

The site is flagrantly unfinished, and the site owner doesn’t even have the decency to hide behind the pretense that it’s in-the-making or an experimental board. Yet, in spite of all that, the site owner manages to create a lazy tribute to himself in MS paint.

687
688You could hardly call this a functioning imageboard. While the vast majority of the site is evidently broken, the site owner has managed to leave at least the boards up. I imagine his reasoning is that this will be for the benefit of future generations. It’s basically the one, static webpage.

700Despite using what appears to be a text-centric interface, you’ll find images can be appended to the post. The images open up externally, however. As far as I can discern, there’s no way to subvert the interface, so expect to spend some time adjusting if you aren’t used to doing this; though, I should think that there’s a good chance that you are familiar with at least the rudiments of a terminal, considering that you are reading this guide.

725
726You’ll find that the site’s interface is radically different from that of 4chan and most imageboards, and the effect was to distance itself from the absurd weebishness of imageboard tradition. While perhaps a bit unappealing, it is distinctly Western. The obvious reference to stoner culture in the name indicates that the site is basically an appropriation of the site owners two biggest influences: the topic of drugs, which you’ll find on the typical drug forum and the casual, meandering discussion of most imageboards, the fusion of past and future content that has been the group’s ideology achieves here its grandest (and perhaps only) statement. Such an interface makes the site look a bit seedy, but the site actually has a lot of integrity: there are very few advertisements and nothing else that could be thought of as malicious.
727
728The site also brags a number of topics that you won’t find on 4chan, but that’s namely drugs. The site’s traffic is pretty considerable. You’ll find this is one of the most active forums for casual drug discussion, and really, the sort of discussion that goes on here is fairly unique.

753http://4chan.org/
754
7554chan is practically a household name, thanks to the media, and for that reason, there’s actually a half-good chance that your mother knows about the site. For most of us, our relationship with 4chan is easily very comparable to that with our parents. There’s about a sixty-six percent chance, considering at least a third of the *chan population is below the age of sixteen, that you probably learned about that site as a child. If you don’t fall under that criteria, there’s a good chance that you’re mentally stuck in high school. As a child’s mind develops, the child begins to recognize flaws that are fundamental in human beans; the figures which children once idolized, their parents, now become grossly flawed, and so the children reject them.
756
757The fact is that /b/ is wonderful stream of new information combined with a vast userbase that doesn’t have to deal with the constraints of reputation or shame. Or, rather, it would be if it weren’t for the overzealous mods with their arbitrary rules and the fact that you start to get deja vu after a while. Children enjoy repetition much more than adults, so that’s one theory that you could probably ascribe /b/’s shittiness to. It’s one of my favorite remarks that repetition kills the soul, and I don’t think there’s anything more fitting to describe it than with that.
758
759If normies are just too much to handle, and you really, really hate those damn normies, here’s a few options from yours truly that you can choose from to escape those prying bastards: install Aether, browse Usenet (it’s ironic that everyone suggests this, because it’s a running joke that AOL and normies ruined Usenet); emulate the World Wide Web, but make sure that it only exists parallel to the net so that it can't be googled up; try mailing lists, try gophernet, dial up your local BBS; and, if all else fails, revert to technology from yesteryear and just see what sticks. You could also become a hermit, like my father, and cut yourself off from the internet and meditate until you find enlightenment/die.
760
761There’s not much here here that you can’t find anywhere else, topic-wise. What makes 4chan unique, besides its influence over popular culture, is its tremendous popularity.
762
763Notable boards:
764/b/ - Without this board, memes probably wouldn’t be so deeply ingrained in popular culture. There are a considerably greater amount, probably about half of all traffic, of users here than on the rest of the site.

817I’d call 7chan shit, but considering most imageboards are, that’s a given. Pretty much all the boards there are nothing new. The reason anyone would visit 7chan is because they’re so frustrated at 4chan that they couldn’t stand posting there. Ironically, the board is so full of new people, about half the posts, for the most part on the porn boards, and most of the site is just new people asking for sources even when they're in plain sight or they can just search it up easily. It’s like if someone took /b/ and split it up into its own forum.

827What really distinguishes 7clams from Lupchan as a forum dedicated to ironic posting is the animated background and playful music which automatically streams, two features that are much more reminiscent of what a site’s /z/ would be like; whereas, Lupchan is more devoted to what the community offers. While one might consider 7clams the superior forum initially, the fact that 7clams puts less emphasis on user-generated content makes this forum the more archaic of the two.
828
829In actuality, most of 7clams traffic consists of people who like to link the images and music offsite, believe it or not. Despite that, 7clams is much more obscure than the Lup’.

842It’s notable that Hot Wheels has developed such a pragmatic, hands-off policy. It doesn’t really change anything as far as discussion goes, but at least he doesn’t consume a many resources as 4chan does trying to mess with its users.
843
844I find it hard to synthesize what I’ve heard about the site and find a reasonable conclusion right now, mainly because of this hangover, but if I had to share some speculation, it would be that the main flaw in 4chan and 8chan’s content is because one of imageboard culture’s fundamental qualities is meme culture, so, for that reason, imageboards are inherently senseless. If I can hark back to Usenet, I wouldn’t be surprised if the userbase there that flagrantly disregarded etiquette and flamed each other with absurd non sequiturs is probably is a major part of the people (or at least a part of the culture) that ruined serious discussion on imageboards.

Not so much in itself but in the context of those that announce how they subscribe to that idea. It’s very ironic, considering that existentialism purports, but I’m no authority on existentialism or ontology, despite the fact that the former is a very narrow and rather homogeneous area of thought, but just because you’re cynical about the way you live your life doesn’t mean anything has changed.

Well, that’s no matter, now, as Anon-IB has a whopping four domains all directing you towards the same site as well as an entire static backup of this website (that’s the last link, if you weren’t aware). The reason for this change of scenery is apparently because of the high amount of people transgressing site rules. The rules have been modified in accordance with that ordeal.
959
960Anon-IB is basically 8chan if it were ran by a total dunce. Apparently, you can create your own board or something along the lines of that, but there’s no intimation on the site as to how that works. You can figure it out, if you like.

1121
1122To be honest, it resembles talkboard are phpBB, but it retains enough qualities comparable to an imageboard that I am compelled to include this. The community is unironically imature and underaged, though, but when you’re desperate, anything goes.
1123Actually, the interface and content, to me at least, is very nostalgic, but I find it hard to stand the content.

1157Cirno
1158http://chiru.no/cirno/
1159
1160Yet another site that utilizes the Doushio script, this one is vastly obscure, but it has a number of boards rather than two or one, which makes the site’s script pretty much worthless. It’s pronounced “Chill no.”

1164Chaos.cpu
1165https://chaos.cyberpunk.us/

1168A Russian cyberpunk board. Naturally, their mascot is Lain, as though we haven’t seen a site pull that one before.
1169I never could get into the whole cyberpunk thing. At this point, I could delve into a huge nerd rant, but I’ll save you from that ordeal.

1173Claire Imageboard

1176Russian
1177
1178This site is an extension of Claire’s personal site, and, in that way, it is very similar to 4x13’s textboard, but this one is an imageboard rather than a textboard. Unfortunately, Claire wasn’t as lucky as 4x13 in terms of her userbase, which is very small and seems to have a propensity for sharing CP.

1189
1190CMWP, LLC. Discussion Board
1191http://ch.cmwp.com/
1192
1193It’s unknown what CMWP or LLC stand for, but one thing's for sure: no less than two Piña coladas and no loafing.
1194The site essentially uses the textboard model but features a convenient option to post images. This is the realm of Swordopolis, one of the only fellows that has felt this imageboard is worth investing in.
1195
1196------------------------------------------------------
1197
1198Cryptochan
1199https://cryptochan.org/boards/
1200Russian
1201
1202Cryptochan is a website that hosts the discussion of several of the most popular cryptocurrencies, and those that don’t have their own, special board can be discussed on the random board. Note that, in the top-right corner the site records the increase or decrease in the value of said cryptocurrencies, and if you click on the, you’ll see a chart comparing their values to the Euro and US Dollar.

1214D3w
1215http://board.d3w.org/
1216Russian
1217
1218While the content isn’t exceptional, at least the site owner made the call to only have a few boards, which is rather smart.

1221
1222Dejimachan
1223http://dejimachan.org/
1224Dutch
1225
1226Another imageboard made to cater to a specific country. It’s attempt at distancing itself from the traditional imageboard model is laughable. The site owner is hardly—what you might say—a shrewd creator.
1227
1228------------------------------------------------------
1229
1230DameIB - Dame Image Board
1231http://dameib.net/
1232
1233I’m afraid there’s not much to say about this imageboard. The palette is nice, albeit a tad too bright. The image hovering feature is pretty convenient.
1234
1235The files board is simply that.
1236
1237I feel as though the guro board is a bit redundant. As long as Gurochan up, there really isn’t any room or point for competition. On top of that, it’s pretty inactive, and most of the content in there has found its way to GuroChan at one time or another, but I guess it’s an apt contingency plan, considering how the site has shut down twice, now, for no real reason.
1238
1239It’s very odd, but the site owner seems to have decided to isolate the boards that can be accessed on Wakachan. For example, if you click on the Ghibli board, you will not be able to access the site’s other boards through the site interface, except for four other boards.
1240

1247Deep Hole

1250
1251Certainly an interesting address. Overall, the site kind tries to have a sort of esoteric air, but the content doesn’t really match that. The site itself looks pretty good.
1252In addition to the two boards, the site has a small, little Overchan that takes you to some of the better Russian imageboards and the Wakachan Russian board.

1260Demochan
1261http://demochan.org/faq.html
1262
1263Demochan prides itself on taking the act of removing the benevolent dictatorship from the *chan equation. Well, the dictatorship is still present, but it’s hidden behind a collection of brand-new board owners that cycle out every week via the magic of representative democracy, chosen by their online peers, thus the site’s name. It’s very similar to Anon-IB, or even 8chan, if you stretch it enough, but the execution is done fairly well.

1267Der Photolab

1269German and English
1270
1271Actually, the language spoken on this site is primarily English, but with name like that, I felt it would be safer just to say they speak both languages.
1272The site seems to be associated with a group called Anime Punch. Really, though, it doesn’t seem like they do much besides revel in popular nerd culture.

1309Dobrochan

1311Russian
1312
1313This site is perhaps one of the most popular and active Russian imageboards, among 0chan and Wakachan’s Russian-speaking board.
1314The sidebar will record how many new posts have been made on the site. The forum uses the Hanabira imageboard script, which is very obscure.

1318Dollship

1321
1322If you click on the links at the top, they will direct you to the Volgach imageboard, isitup, and the site’s own imageboard (which seems to be Volgach discussion), respectively. The site also has a collection of the constituents of several imageboards hidden under the /vault/ directory.

1326Doushio ★
1327http://doushio.com/moe/
1328
1329This is the boards where all the tripfags post.
1330
1331If the site is active at the time you log on, you will most certainly notice that this site boasts a special feature in which you can see the poster write their post in real time. In addition to that, the site only has a threshold of two pages, so don’t bother making a new thread, unless one of them reaches the post limit. The site’s script seems to be a modification of the TinyBoard script. You’ll find that Youtube links and images open internally, meaning that you don’t open up a new page when you click on them.
1332
1333While certainly not the most heavily trafficked imageboard out there, the users there basically treat the forum like IRC, to the point where it’s faster than many 4chan boards, in stark contrast to 4chan where moot implemented a delay between posts partly because of the fact that people had been posting on 4chan like one would in a chatroom.
1334
1335The sort of content you’ll find on here is considerably similar to that of 4chan’s /jp/ or tohno, so it won’t be too hard to adjust.

1399At the moment, the site is pretty empty, having just the one board. The site owner promises us that there’s more to come, but one wonders whether this site is worth the investment. It’s a board devoted to ponies, but the posting isn’t strictly ponies, like the other forums, which makes the site very flexible and a good amount of potential, though it only really benefits the pony audience.
1400The site almost makes me think of Bun or Ota with its playfulness.

1446Fighting Amphibians sounds like a highschool football team, but the only sports that these nerds play is on their computers. They’re a bunch of video game nerds, and this forum is sort of like a frat house for the guild.
1447
1448There are two interesting features about this site: you can “rep” a post, which I imagine is sort of like an upvote/downvote system, and you can sign into the website through your Steam account, which, if I’m not mistaken, will fill in the name field and append a picture of your Steam avatar beside that.

Though, in a case like vectors, I can kind of reappropriate my appreciation for clean edges to the flac-chan endeavor, but I don’t know about you. I would imagine a lot of discussion about merchandise would go on here, as that’s the main issue that listening to flac brings up, but it looks like not very many people have thought to post here.

1496The site is little more than a shoutbox for the random messages of miscellaneous foot fetishists. Despite being discussion-oriented, we can see that the site’s being so desolate compels the same sort of content as the comment section of a blog. With that said, perhaps shoutboxes and comment sections are made in order to give the illusion of activity than encourage discussion.
1497The content on this site, I should note, through the effort of devoted posters and passersbys, is particularly absurd and esoteric, making me think of GNFOS but more interesting and funny. The second address, reading xn--4i8haa, represents the unicode character for bread three times.

1526Futaba Channel ★
1527http://www.2chan.net/
1528Japanese
1529
1530Curiously, in contrast with 2channel, Futaba is rarely covered by commercial websites or media or with anything, really. I think we all know about a few of the memes from there, such as Suzuran, OS-tans, and Yaranaika, but beyond that, Futaba is just a world of its own, with its own little board culture, without all the reports and commentary from external sites that 4chan gets.
1531
1532I’m not sure what they’re up to over there. It’s just about as much of a confusing mess as 4chan is. Well, there’s probably a rich culture of people spamming shift_jis culture and just wanting to become pretty women. From what I’ve heard, Futaba is shit.
1533If you were really curious, I suppose you could always subvert the bans via VPN, but while there are any number of English speakers happy to engage you, it would be a very difficult endeavor to understand what’s going on with that language barrier. It’s a labor that you’d have to be very passionate about to endure, which is just absurd, considering it’s just an imageboard. Most of the Futaba userbase probably browses the site casually, intent on some quick and easy amusement; you’d have to jump through numerous hoops daily in order to keep up, which is just ridiculous.

1586The content is a bit juvenile, but it’s rather unique, and the Trevor roleplay is actually quite funny, I must admit.

1588If you’re not aware, the acronym GNFOS is an allusion to the cult classic, Gay Niggers from Outer Space, in which a group of alien niggers arrive on Earth from the planet Anus to discover Women. The group eradicates the females and leaves behind an ambassador to educate the male population on the homosexual way of life.

1605I find it funny how many Chinese aristocrats are discovering the opulence and luxury of being an aristocrat. Are forums like this how Chinese yuppies decide to kill time? We can see the Chinese inducting a lot of American culture, while its own becomes stagnant. The same goes for many rich, Eastern nations, which is just tragic, because I’m really sick of listening these nation’s kitschy, American pop imitations, but that’s all that they’ve got, which is downright tragic.

1621You may have noticed the tagging system, which works very similarly to Altarchan, but this site executes that feature de facto much better. Naturally, the boxes at the top replace the need for more than one site page.

1625Gurochan
1626https://gurochan.ch/
1627
1628There’s something really absurd about how much the folks on Gurochan have had to put up with. There’s always some issue with spamming or their ISP.
1629It’s popular to reject and abase anyone who shows an enthusiasm for sexualized gore for a number of reasons. This can vary from the fact that teens find it cool to be interested in something provocative, like gore, though that’s ironic, because the same thing could be said for pedophelia, which is generally tolerated; or they sincerely find it perverse and revolting, for some reason. Gurochan and /b/ share an overlap in the sort of content there, so that’s another reason why people hate it, but the same could be said about anime.
1630The former most, to be honest, is probably entirely true. The posts can sometimes read like something written by deviantart users, except with guro, and they start dropping words like “psychopathy” and “insanity,” and that’s always very demanding to tolerate.

1693This is a board devoted to the webcomic series Homestuck. The site mostly links you off site, but there are two boards.
1694You’ll notice that the site has its own special kind of markup that lets you post what appears to be your zodiac signs, which I imagine is related to the web comic. In the top-left corner there is a recolor of what looks like a recolor of what looks like Butthead from Beavis and Butthead, which is odd.
1695
1696Something about Homestuck and its content always gives me pause, and I feel really bad about the whole thing. Actually, it’s more like nausea.

The most memorable feature of this site is the sidebar, which isn’t like the conventional sidebar that you might see on imageboards: the sidebar is much smaller and simpler. In the top-left corner of each post, you have the ability to search for the image through two services, which is a nice touch. The site seems to sample scripts that you may have seen on other imageboards, but unlike its contemporaries, it seems to find a good balance.
1710Overall, this site is very through. If it were my site, I would be rather proud of it.

1714Iccanobif’s Imageboard
1715http://iccanobif.altervista.org/sgb/imgboard.htm
1716
1717Iccanobif, the site owner, is a veteran from before imageboards hit their apex in popularity. This site is one of the only remaining imageboards using the Futallaby script. However, iccanobif has modified it in two notable ways: the theme is changed out, and this site supports webm.
1718According to iccanobif, despite his site being dead, he likes to keep the site up because the hosting is free. While there are roughly twenty pages of content, most of them are just the same few guys that use the site as an image host, linking the images outside of the forum. This includes iccanobif, who enjoyed taking photographs of his cat before it died.
1719
1720Ostensibly, iccanobif was an moderator for a particular forum, but he won’t disclose which or what kind of forum it was to me.
1721
1722I’m not sure if I’m at liberty to divulge some of his online habits to you all, but I’ll say that he likes to frequent Gikopoi, so that’s your best bet if you’d like to chat him up sometime.

1731What makes this site notable is that this is one of the veterans of imageboard culture. The userbase, presumably, is fairly consistent in its posting, but I can’t really tell.
1732Here’s a history lesson for you. iichan had been made as a reaction to Dvach, but eventually, the site had succumb to very strict and arbitrary moderation, which induced a great deal of the users to leave the site. The site owner, evidently, loves anime, which is evidenced by the fact that there are a great deal of boards on the site devoted to various anime series, which, unfortunately, spreads the site a little thin.

Naturally, the one board he hosts is devoted to chiptunes and trackers. In the past years, as he’s put it, he’s lost interest in maintaining an imageboard, but he keeps the site up for posterity. Naturally, as he’s neglecting to preserve the site, there’s spam on there, and the board is fairly desolate. Posting is still open, so if you want to get into making chiptunes, this forum is a fairly good resource.

There is a notice at the front of the page, but’s it’s in what looks like Polish, so rest assured that no one is going to do anything about your visiting this site. By simply appending a “/b/” to the site address, you can circumvent that warning, but get ready for a headache once you do so.

1862 -kalyx, Bona Fide Stud and Owner of Lainchan, disclosed to me via IRC
1863
1864Perhaps the most assertive variant on 4chan (and fairly considerable in terms of popularity) is Lainchan. It’s a 4chan imitation that has managed to reappropriate 4chan once again, all for what is perhaps one of the most unpleasant of all the 4chan communities. All things considered, it’s okay, but the site lacks any air that makes it considerable, which is disappointing, considering how popular it is. The disappointment is twofold when you recall the fact that it was spammed on 4chan, unfairly pulling in a fairly large userbase.
1865To add insult to injury, the site’s mascot is Lain, a character whose image has been excessively used on all the dozens of tribute websites out there made exclusively for that character. This is the hobby site for technically shrewd men who, like all the other embarrassing men in love with Lain, have an unfortunate surplus of skulls and resources at their disposal.
1866
1867Though plagiarising the past big thing isn’t necessarily bad, the substance of it all is diluted so much that the site can barely uphold a semblance of itself as something other than a very near parody of the vapid culture it caters to (though that can be said for most forums). Ironically, the stuff that Lainchan does well right now is the content that deviates most from /tech/.

1916Livechan

1919Interestingly, the site banner is does not emulate the standard 100 x 300 frame that is standard with imageboards; rather, the site uses an odd combination of 255 x 169, which nicely fills up the bottom-right corner of the site.
1920
1921While the selling point is indeed that all the posting and, in the case of the drawing board, drawing is live, the site seems to utilize a different script than that of doushio.
1922Despite the Doushio script being more “live” than Livechan, Livechan is certainly more comparable to an IRC than Doushio. The layout is reminiscent of an IRC client that operates inside a website, like Mibbit. Posts are not seen being written in real time like Doushio, making this site no better than most imageboards running off of the tinyboard script, which updates posting automatically. If you’re into this sort of thing, then good for you, but to me, the site layout makes discussion and even posting less compelling. Despite looking like IRC, to me, the site is very unintuitive.
1923
1924Despite all that, what the site endeavors to do is very commendable, and the site integrates its constituents together quite well.

1937
1938While this is, indeed, a subdomain of the Tea imageboard, I feel compelled to note it on its own, because it strikes a somewhat notable contrast between the two imageboards. The notable difference in this board would be that it’s considerably less unique; however, Magic matches Tea in its obscurity, and like Tea, magic has a fairly active userbase in spite of all that, but that isn’t enough to make the live posting a really considerable feature. Magic is essentially like Doushio but derived from the Tea userbase, plus a dark theme with no ability to change that.
1939
1940And once again, I feel mildly pained for sharing this, because it feels like I’m giving you access to the sacred woods that host a bunch of fairies or nymphs (they certainly seem like the types that would love to become a nymphet), despite the fact that nothing profound is going on here, but, quite frankly, I don’t care so much that I would refrain from sharing this site. There have been plenty of new people that have visited Tea and somehow managed to shit all over themselves while making the typical denizens of the site really uncomfortable.

A few people, or perhaps just one, had the audacity to advertise this site on 4chan with stuff thrown together in MS paint in spite of the fact that the site isn’t even complete.

Perhaps the most notable board is its Hypnosis board, in which people can enjoy images and audio that eroticize hypnosis without all butthurt. Beyond that, this site is probably the most feasible competitor against Gurochan with its drawn gore board; however, the site is still rather underpopulated.

2081Rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Well, the forum doesn’t really live up to its name, unfortunately.
2082Apparently this is supposed to be an alternative to /b/ once you get banned, but I’m pretty sure 7chan does just that but is more active than this site.

2090Well, it’s typical *chan stuff, but they’re all pretty nice. More Wakaba-leaning, as far as content quality goes, rather than 4chan. I’m unsure as to whether the name is supposed to be read as “no where” or “now here;” perhaps it’s meant to be read as both.

2144The most notable feature about the site is the fact that the board selection which is typically written at the very top-left of the page is brought down and lies in the middle of the page. The design is very cozy. The site seems to be mostly dormant, besides the occasional spam. It’s evident that there is no moderation on the site.
2145Damn these Russians and their jailbait.

2147The site seems to use a fork of the script used on Exachan, exaba.

2169It’s sort of a rule of thumb that, if a site is just “chan” with a number or a slur nonsense attached to the beginning, it’s going to be a cheap knockoff. This site is no exception. Nevertheless, I should note that the site isn’t quite as cheap as most knockoffs manage to be. At least, the site doesn’t make the mistake of creating a huge excess of boards. It’s barely even notable, though.

2248Reichan
2249http://rei-ayanami.net/
2250
2251Shinji Ikari of Neon Genesis Evangelion meets teenagers Rei Ayanami, an impassive, emotionless girl and Asuka Langley, who happens to have anger issues. Continuous and heated discussion ensues on 4chan. So much discussion goes on that the type of discussion eventually becomes the static, “who is best girl?” routine. As you might have realized, it’s the characters that dictate discussion on this forum. Unlike its counterparts, these guys manage to get past the whole “who is best girl” conundrum by devoting a board to each of them. Of course, the site boils down mostly to what’s mostly just image dumps and the discussion of said images.

2280Saguaro

2282
2283The Saguaro Imageboard was made out of a fork of the Futallaby script. The board is identical in terms of aesthetics, but, of the features added, the most noticeable one is that, when you hover over an image, the image will load on the top-right side of the window automatically.

2295Shanachan
2296https://shanachan.org/
2297
2298Another board that’s linked in the Wakachan sidebar. It’s notable for the fetish board, which encourages you to make a thread about whatever gets you off. You can post music files on the music board. You might notice that the name assigned to anonymous posters varies board to board, which is rather cute. In addition to that, it two novelty boards devoted entirely to circles and cityscapes, respectively.
2299There’s a board for the series Ah! My Goddess, if you’re interested in that. Oddly enough, though, a lot of the stuff on there is just porn. Before knowing about the series, I went on to that board and mistook Ah! My Goddess for an h game or something. I’m pretty sure it’s not, though. It probably isn’t.

2308Sibirchan
2309http://sibirchan.ru/
2310Russian
2311
2312The site owner has made himself a sort of vat intended to contain all the Siberians. There are countless boards, but, like any forum oriented to a province or a nation, it’s probably more practical and worthwhile to utilize it as a means to discuss local events and politics.

2320Note that Січеш is colloquial for fag and in the phrase “Січеш, хлопче?” essential means, “are you playing with men's anuses, you faggot?”
2321
2322At least, that’s what some guy online said. I’m not 100% clear on what he meant, but I just wrote what he wrote. I’ll let you do the interpreting.

2337Snuffchan

2339
2340The site owner has poor taste, to say the least. At least with Homestuck, they all have some sense of aesthetic, or at least what goes with what, but this site is a hodgepodge of images and sentiments that can only be described as unsavory.
2341It’s hard to tell whether this is a blog or not, as the “chan” and the blog are almost identical, just written be anonymous posters.

2355
2356I wouldn’t even mention this if it weren’t for the fact that this site reminds me of a certain board on 8chan devoted to little girls. As far as an unsightly porn board goes, it looks all right. Actually, it makes me a bit nostalgic.

2366------------------------------------------------------
2367
2368Sushichan
2369http://sushigirl.tokyo/
2370
2371Sushichan puts up a somewhat convincing façade of what could be a professionally made site, with an interface that seems to be built off of the Vichan script.
2372The userbase is all right (but they’re getting worse and worse every day). They do somewhat manage to uphold the peaceful air, which the site owner tries to emulate with his “sushi bar aesthetic,” but despite that, I suspect you aren’t going to hear any discussion (such as their throwing around 7chan-tier insults) like that of Sushichan in a sushi bar, and so, in that respect, Sushichan doesn’t exactly parallel a peaceful sushi bar.
2373Beyond that, the site looks rather nice. There’s an emphasis on imagery, which is the site owner’s main utility in trying to evoke the sense of being in a sushi bar, and the site actually pulls that off quite well. The site owner is relatively knowledgeable about board culture, which is evidenced by the fact that he alludes to several popular imageboards in his FAQ, but the application is forgettable.
2374
2375Don’t get me wrong, though: this site is just another shallow imitation of 4chan, but the admin, to a minor degree, is trying to deviate from its main influence, and that’s respectable enough.
2376
2377Notable boards:
2378/lewd/ - incomparable diaper posting
2379/lounge/
2380/hell/ - pretty much another /z/ board but without the bells and whistles
2381/old/hell/ - /hell/ is definitely the same in spirit, but /old/hell/ is much more loveable and has a good deal of content, considering Sushichan’s worth (eight dollars and ninety-five cents, according to cutestat).

2392Swordgirls
2393http://swordgirls.net/bored/sg/
2394
2395The forum to a website devoted to the video game Sword Girls. It appears to be a sort of cardgame, like Kantai Collection. The game seems to have also been translated into Corean.
2396
2397------------------------------------------------------
2398
2399Syn-ch
2400http://syn-ch.ru/
2401Russian
2402
2403The site looks nice enough, but white always makes me a tad apprehensive. You’ll notice that the board listing at the top sort of pops up, so that, among other things, make this site feel a bit more contemporary, aesthetically speaking, despite using an archaic medium such as imageboards.
2404A good deal of the users (or perhaps just the one active user) loves cartoon ponies, and you’ll see that content throughout all the boards.
2405
2406As it happens, the Fukuro imageboard script developed by twiforce has been made to imitate Syn-ch’s interface, and it is accessible through this Github link:

2419Tasty Llamas
2420http://www.tastyllama.net/llama/

2423
2424Smoking-hot update: to one of Tasty Llamas’ many satisfied customers who, on the thirtieth of July, decided to offer me an invitation to his fruity rump . . . dearest reader of this consumer guide; my fifty blogs, which each of my thirty-six personalities maintain; and my zine, which is released on a bi-hourly basis, if you keep rubbing your face in people’s rumps, one day, the doctors will have to plug up your own asshole! And what will you do, then, huh? Or do all the doctors fondle you with your pants around your ankles?
2425
2426------------------------------------------------------
2427
2428Tea
2429https://chakai.org/tea/
2430
2431The site owner typically schedules the site so that it opens up around seven in the evening, so make sure to set your clocks to that.
2432
2433I don’t expect this guide to really be noticed, but by listing this, I suspect the site may garner more attention; I wonder, maybe, if my sharing this would be consistent with the site owner’s ethics. I understand that most imageboard users are have denounced 4chan’s leaving the “underground,” but then, perhaps that is a sign that the times have changed. Whatever. By some standards, you could call all these gimmicks pretty retarded.
2434
2435Perhaps the most “heretical” imageboard I’ve seen so far, the site actually manages to capture the best, most considerable qualities of most imageboards, namely their transient nature and the exclusivity. You have the option to cycle between several different themes. Note that there are very few users here, but, in spite of that, there is usually at least some activity within each session. Judging from how the pages are named, it looks like the site is trying to, to some degree, emulate the air of a Japanese tea ceremony, also known as “way of the tea,” which ties in nicely with the directory /tea/way/.
2436
2437From what I understand through watching their usage, you aren’t really supposed to make more than one thread, which is understandable, considering how small the site is. More than even most textboards, the users here are compelled to practice a certain level of etiquette, so I really have to stress that, if you want to post on here, you should lurk for at least a week or so to get a feel for the site’s “tradition.”
2438If you’ve ever wanted to be in a small, comfy community, the now’s your chance. I suppose, though, that if enough of you read this, the former won’t be true anymore, but as long as you align yourself with the board’s conventions, you’ll find that you’ll have a good time visiting this site.
2439
2440This board definitely operates under conventions that a newcomer wouldn’t be knowledgeable about or heed, namely reading a thread and thinking about whether you should post or not. Tea utilizes the script that’s on Doushio, so your posts will seen written in real time. Generally, the users only seem to post once or twice a day, so keep that in mind, and think before you post.
2441
2442Directories:
2443/tea/ - This is the actual forum, where you can post.
2444/tea/way/ - You’ll want to read this page. It gives you an impression of what the board’s about.
2445/roji/ - This records the planned times for when /tea/ opens up.
2446/toko/ - This is a clever little page that shows only the word “mu,” meaning nothingness. How very zen.

2450Tespedia
2451http://tespedia.ru/board
2452Russian
2453
2454A forum devoted to the Elder Scrolls series. It looks precisely like a video game forum but as utilizing the core features of an imageboard. Naturally, like what seems to be the case with most video game forums, this is an extension of a wiki.

2458TF2chan
2459http://tf2chan.net/
2460
2461There are way too many enthusiasts who like to cosplay this game. With all the cosmetics, it’s like a like an RPG but lighter. The reason the site owner was compelled to make a forum like this is probably because he’s infatuated with the RPG-cock-tease nature that essentially composes this game, and all the “nuances” of the game which the community manages to dredge up is just a device to rationalize what’s a pretty terrible addiction.
2462Honestly, I would suggest heroin before I would suggest video games: heroin is what consumed Lou Reed’s life, and he was pretty cool; video games are what consumed the early lives of pathetic, thirty-year-old English majors living with their parents, overshadowed by their college proffesor of an older brother.

2466Tgchan
2467http://tgchan.org/kusaba/

2473The Sims Imageboard
2474http://thesimsboard.besaba.com/board/board.php
2475
2476The site uses the same formula as the Life is Strange board. The reason for that is they are hosted on the same site, and they are most likely maintained by the same person.

2482Korean
2483
2484So as it turns out, the Coreans do, indeed, have an imageboard, and it looks very blocky, very much like the way Korean print looks, at least relative to Japanese characters.
2485There is some integration with social media, which is a bit saddening, but it’s kept to a minimum, and it doesn’t look like site goers utilize that feature.

2488
2489Tinachan
2490http://tinachan.org/.index
2491
2492The site looks fine enough. As far as actual content and discussion goes, it’s typical *chan stuff but a notably low amount of traffic. There’s a textboard out there that I haven’t listed which looks a bit similar to this site, but I’ve omitted that site, as it’s more comparable to Reddit than the traditional message board.
2493

2495
2496Tohnochan
2497http://tohno-chan.com/
2498
2499Named after the site owner’s waifu, most of the discussion mostly goes on in the waifu board, because that’s the only topic unique to this site.
2500One of the biggest faults about the site is simply how many boards there are. That just spreads all the users too thin. If the site owner were to efface everything but /mai/, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.
2501Tohno is one of those boards that shouldn’t really be as popular as it is, but it is, and these guys are just ridiculous.

2526I’m not sure if I’m right, but appears that the site uses its own custom script, or a fork of the Dvach script.
2527The site seems to be devoted to the discussion of finance.
2528For a country founded on the rejection of capitalism, they sure do seem to have a lot of these finance boards.

2581It seems like investing a site in a passing fad wasn’t the best idea. This site, interestingly, is devoted to a book. It seems odd that anyone would think that, just because they’re about trolling, that an imageboard script would be most suitable for a site with the role of promoting a book.

2606
2607Uboachan is sort of what it would look like if you took /jp/ and split it up into its own, NEET-intended boards. Well, there’s enough NEET stuff going on there for being a fakeNEET to become somewhat of an issue, as troubling as that somehow could manage to be. There are twenty-four boards, to be precise. Generally, you’ll get one to five posts a day, so this board is relatively active, but you’re probably going to only bother to check it on a bi-monthly basis. While /jp/ content isn’t always the most redeeming, they’re unorthodoxically nice, if we consider orthodoxy to be the conventions of imageboard culture, which consists of a lot of shouting and flaming.
2608
2609It should be noted that the site uses an oddly saturated palette meant to accommodate NEETs and the sort that browse the internet in the dark.

2648
2649I’m sure it’s been said a thousand times before, but no one posts to Wakachan anymore. It's basically a dead zone that weebs like you or me stop by once and awhile during their internet wandering. It actually serves better as a time capsule than an actual, active forum in that regard. Unless you and all your /jp/sie friends are going to shitpost it back to life, though it’s probably going to remain static like this until the site owner finally closes up shop.
2650
2651While Wakachan does, in fact, host some of its own boards, the site is also sort of a collaboration with other board owners to fit their site into Wakachan’s sidebar. You can tell that even the site owner hasn’t checked in in a while, because about a third of the sites on there are still listed despite having been taken down.

2661
2662There’s only one board on here, and that is Meduka Meguca, a reference to that one meme, I expect. The issue with most boards devoted to a show or a game is that, unless they’re some sort of cult classic or a sleeper hit, once the show goes past the apex of its popularity, traffic really dies down. Wakachan’s Azumanga board has managed to garner what’s a rather devoted userbase, and that’s why the board’s managed to outlive its contemporaries, but Madoka was de facto a forgettable show that was simply above par simply because the all the other shows of that season managed to be sub par. Some fans will try to aggrandize the show’s eloquence by raving about all the mundane motifs that it has. It’s all construed nonsense, though. Along with sharing media, that’s partly what the site’s discussion is composed of.

It’s one of the more frequently mentioned forums on /jp/. I won’t deny that the theme is really nice. The posters are very playful and almost always jesting in a post-ironic sort of way.
2670The interface is very unabrasive, unimposing, and uncluttered making this particular site very accessible relative to other forums with the same script.

The site owner didn’t even bother to remove the 4chan banner at the top of the home page. It’s tempting to wonder if this site is malicious or not and trying to deceive visitors. For the site owner’s sake, I’d like to think so, but it may just be a monumentally bad site.

2696The site’s not very active, the reason probably being that you have to add the address including an actual board in order to access the forum, as the homepage does not list the boards present. In addition to that, there is a clear excess of boards. The most notable feature of this site on a superficial level is that the top and bottom bar recording the boards and the pages respectively have transparent backgrounds.
2697
2698The /d/ boards is interesting for the fact that it is not actually a board, but if you append, say, an /a/ to that directory, you’ll find that there’s another five boards. The boards give off a /z/ or /limbo/ vibe because of the fact that they’re partly hidden, but unlike /z/ or /limbo/, these boards aren’t playful at all. In fact, it would be more fitting to call /d/ /hell/, as that matches the boards’ unpleasantness.

2817http://2channel.ru/
2818Russian
2819
2820It’s a Russian textboard. Not much to explain here. Still and all, it’s amusing that, rather than using the traditional 2ch layout, this site utilizes theme by default. It’s characterized by its exceptionally small userbase, which consists of approximately three consistent users.
2821
2822------------------------------------------------------
2823
28244-ch ★
2825http://4-ch.net/
2826
28274-ch is a pretty good board that predates 4chan's textboards. It’s is a message board for discussion of a wide variety of topics and what is essentially a continuation of world2ch. It’s definitely the most relevant textboard. With a site like this in mind, it might not hurt to have a mainstream English textboard like Japan has. Perhaps a popular textboard could serve as a popular alternative to the sites demand for registration and integration with other social media and such without having a toxic relationship. If that were to happen, 4-ch is probably the most likely to go mainstream.
2828
2829Unfortunately, the userbase is spread a little bit too thin with such a wide variety of topics, and so the only board with any consistent posters is DQN, which renders the forum is essentially defined by that board; yet, the type of posts on the other boards seem to be very serious and on-topic, not really carrying over the running jokes on DQN. In fact, I’m tempted to say that DQN is populated by the worst sorts, as they only "contribute" to one board, which is just a shame, considering the other boards do manage to get decent discussion, though very slowly.
2830
2831DQN has its fair share of running threads, such as “[Contentless] ITT you post right now [ASAP] your current thought [Brains][Thinking][Personal],” which has reached its 17th iteration so far (note that the post limit is 999).
2832Internet Addicts is pretty cool if you want to talk about pedophilia, what browser you should use, and why 4-ch is dead over and over again.
2833
2834Without an active userbase out of DQN, though, really what the site boils down to is the excess of boards. Though, those two things aside, the emergency mittens are a nice touch, if only a small novelty.

2854While the interface is a little unique, you’ll probably notice, prior to that, that you’re being shamelessly accosted by any number of advertisements, making this site extremely unfriendly. Even with adblock, the site becomes empty scarred when you efface all its sponsors.

2906
2907Note that very little of the content on the board is actually German, except the owner of the site.
2908
2909Textboards can be very boring at times, but the DRD does a good job sprucing it up with the cute anime girl in the bottom, right corner; nonetheless, I suspect that isn’t enough to make the site really engaging. Actually, to be honest, I’m not really too fond of looking at this website, because it’s so dull. It appears to be a modification of the Kareha textboard script.The text strays too far to the left, I think, making the content a little uninviting. No one, really, would want to stay on this board just for that, which I must admit is a little saddening.
2910You’ll find at the top that this textboard doubles as a guestbook for the main site, halcy.de, so you’ll find the content is somewhat incoherent. You can discern, though, that the posters are rather satisfied, though they don’t happen to be very frequent posters. There’s no real point to the website. Its existence is totally redundant, thus the name. As far as guestbooks go, I might even go so far as to say that this page is subpar.
2911
2912There’s a slim chance that you might stay for the website’s fairly distinct palette, as well as the rose and the anime girl on the right-hand side, but the forum is far too inactive to make the sacrifice.Perhaps to the average person, this site is pretty unaccomodating, but it seems to understand what the average textboard user is looking for, and the site does distinguish itself in accordance with that knowledge. Halcy also likes to drop words like “kopipe,” so you could assume that he’s a veteran for this sort of thing.
2913
2914Unfortunately, it looks like posting is closed. It’s a good thing that the site didn’t have too much going for it to begin with. You can still check out Halcy’s blog; it looks like he hasn’t updated it in a few years, though.

3008
3009Explore Ideas certainly isn’t a conventional textboard, but in spite of that, it is still text-only and anonymous. A prerequisite for posting your own question is that you have to answer a question that another poster has made.
3010
3011Initially, you might mistake the site for maybe an online quiz or something of the sort, but I think that the site probably weighs more towards a forum than a quiz.
3012The page is just one big catalog, which could be an issue in the sense that the original post really dictates whether you’ll read about a topic or not.

3019Despite being a variant of Kareha, it looks rather clean and uncluttered. It’s hard to understand, initially, what all these subjects are about, though. There’s a guide on the site, but it anticipates that the user knows what a BBS is and doesn’t accommodate newcomers.
3020Interestingly, though, it seems like some of the posters don’t really understand textboard culture that well, but that’s nothing to get into a fit over. It’s too inactive for it to really be relevant in any way.

3035Furry One Writing Critique
3036the last post was made in 2006
3037http://critique.thefurryone.net/
3038
3039Note that the site owner doesn’t want to affiliate itself with *chan culture. I wonder why.
3040As stated on the front page, this part of the site, the critique page, provides an opportunity to write what you would like without the parameters of an identity. In addition, like most of these sites, this site cycles through its posts, deleting those that reach a certain page threshold.
3041While it’s implied that the critique portion of the site is only an extension of something else, it looks like the main site has been decommissioned, and the same goes for the site owner’s blog. Nonetheless, you can still post on the textboard. Evidently, not even the owner visits that board often.
3042There doesn’t really seem to be any rule against posting stories that don’t pertain to furries in some way, but with a name like Furry One, you ought to know what you’re getting into.

Honestly, though, I can’t really find much. Actually, I’m pretty sure this site isn’t really for tech support, despite what the name Suggests.

3106This site is very similar to Explore Ideas, but this site is definitely not as insightful as one should think. Really, it looks like the main userbase is a bunch of teenagers.
3107Despite what looks like a very contemporary interface, which to some, certainly myself, could induce some apprehension regarding advertising and pop ups, the site is very clean, which is quite commendable, considering how it looked prior to the update.
3108The posters can be pretty vulgar, but by some standards, that’s probably a plus. It distinguishes itself from a site like Yahoo Answers, though, which, in an analytical sense, is a pretty similar site.

3123I imagine Lilyphilia is a film of some sort, but it’s hard to sure, because Lilyphilia happens to be me popular as a username than as a film name. The real mystery, though, has to be, “What would drive some pathetic nerd to visit every textboard listed in some pastebin and write, ‘RIP another victim of underpopulation’?” Maybe he just wants to pay his respects. I highly doubt that each one of those textboards was a childhood friend with whom the fellow had some emotional attachment to, though, so why he would feel compelled to do that is really a mystery.

3129
3130The site seems to use the same template as NEET TV, but in contrast to NEET TV, there is absolutely no activity on this site, and nothing that would compel a user to post there. In actuality, the forum template was intended to replicate that of NEET TV with a style sheet and configuration options that make kareha-psgi that serve to make the forum identical, as mentioned by the site owner. You can actually change the board back to the regular style by “setting the default style to “Hive” and enable using the thread backlog as your board index.”

While it certainly seizes one’s attention, it is a bit trying to look at. You’ll find Kotori has some other services which might be more interesting than a dead message board. The site’s got a banner, too. In all likelihood, Kotori is probably this nerd’s waifu or tulpa or something really pathetic.

3170Mahjong message board
3171http://arcturus.su/ch/mj/index.html

3173Mahjong is serious business. That’s why Osamuko and Speed made the forum. If I’m not mistaken, both of them are avid players of mahjong. So, if you’re a fan of mahjong, or maybe you just saw Sakura Trick, you might want to give this site a bit of your time. It’s a bit dead, so maybe, with the collective effort of all you mahjong fans reading this, you could breath life back into the forum. A miracle! Yay!
3174Make sure to not Osakamuko’s blog at the top. It was updated this year, so it’s very likely that he’s still at the mahjong game.
3175
3176I don’t know about the two IRC channels, though. I should think that there’s probably supposed to be different stuff discussed on the two, but IRCs for most forums are usually sorely underpopulated, and to have two of them up probably spreads the users out even more; though, I guess you could monitor both channels.

While that makes the site much less cluttered, it might also be a deterrent for some people. It looks really nice though, but you can’t really make AA art with a site that uses monafont, which is half of the fun of textboards.

3274Post Office Letter Box
3275http://afternoon.dynu.com/letterbox.html
3276
3277Perhaps one of the most popular textboards on the net, the site is full of cute, little ideas. Though they don’t often add much, it gives the site a pleasant air. In addition to the textboard, post office has an image gallery and a video sharing feature.
3278
3279The design and layout is pretty memorable. It’s very palatable and rather simple.
3280
3281The navigation is simple and easy to comprehend. It does a good job effacing clutter from the mix, which can be hard for textboards.
3282
3283This is a feature inherent in every textboard, but what you experience in this site are threads which really don’t have any parameters, besides what’s described in the topic, so you’ll find that, in a thread, the main goal is to simply keep the conversation going and going. Beyond that, most of the posters seem very passionate and sincere, which is something that I should think everyone looks for in a community. The conversation just flows, and that’s just fantastic
3284
3285When you open up a thread, you’ll notice that on the top, right-hand corner, there’s some information about the thread winsomely dressed up in such a way that it emulates a letter you might find in the snail mail. The website procures images from the photo gallery and incorporates that into a stamp, all of which is pretty sweet and lovely.
3286It’s not immediately gratifying, though, so expect to spend a little time perusing the catalog of threads.
3287
3288While fairly intuitive, the home page could be a bit overwhelming for newcomers.

I suspect, a few years from now, we will reject the way we act like retards ironically the same way that people chose to merge themselves with the “Anonymous” herd. Though, you’d have to be any idiot to take any of that seriously, regardless of whether it’s in-taste or not.
3324This site openly caters to the “ironic” crowd that includes Ota-ch and GNFOS, but they forget that all but the lowest of the already low userbase has too much pride in themselves to make an account on a forum. With that in mind, Sheeber does even worse than API, as it is necessary to make a profile in order to see anything in the site.

3336Secret Area of VIP Quality (SAoVQ) ★
3337http://www.secretareaofvipquality.net/
3338
3339The site has a few interesting banners that cycle at the top. The links to the imageboard end the oekaki board don’t work. The link sharing page is a great idea, but it’s rendered superfluous by the many threads sharing “Links of VIP Quality.” The same goes for the AA board, as you can just share ASCII art on the main board.
3340
3341If you’re going to post here, it’s because you just want to joke around with your fellow VIPPERS, and you can’t speak Japanese. There’s not really any competition for the sort of stuff that goes on in this site, considering how stagnant and dated the culture is. The site’s popularity relative to the other textboards with similar content is enough to make it worth acknowledging.
3342An added thought: perhaps these guys are just a bunch of tryhards with no genuine authenticity or sincerity to their posts, and with that, there might be day when textboard culture will penetrate the mainstream, and your average twelve-year-old will run around laughing about how Daddy Cool will let VIPPERS into his secret area of VIP QUALITY iF YOu paY hIm eNOugh ;)
3343
3344SAoVQ kind of builds off of what’s already there as far as textboard culture goes, so to someone who might not be familiar with anonymous textboards, the site could seem a bit absurd and disconnected. There’s a learning curve, and for that reason, the site is a bit frustrating, but there’s a small, little link at the bottom that accommodates newcomers. Even so, in all likelihood, no newcomer is going to think to click on that link, though, which makes the whole guide pointless.

It’s saddening, really, because this looks like a promising board, though it’s been vandalized like this for so long. In addition to that, other users simply seem to abuse the board for advertising their own shitty imageboards.

3420Treeboard ★
3421https://board.treech.at/
3422
3423I’d like to note that Hamstakilla could easily be compared to Hamstakilla as a sumptuous, less-workable permutation of Treeboard. What Treeboard brings to the table is for the most part its approach to conversation, which operates in a way comparable to that of a flowchart, rather than the typical threading that imageboards demonstrate. Treeboard, however, is clearly more partial to an imageboard system than the typical commenting system on, say, Youtube, which hardly fosters discussion. It integrates the features shared by both sources in order to put emphasis on the the relationship between comments, like a flowchart. While analytically more intuitive, the site, in general, has much more that it needs to achieve in order to be a viable alternative to the current message board model.

3444
3445The first thing you might notice is the banner, which shows you the address to the main page, which I’m assuming this forum is an extension of, but I can’t really make heads or tails of what the files on there are about. In addition to that, this forum uses the Blue Moon theme that 6ch uses.
3446
3447From what I can discern, this forum is for a server of some kind, probably intended for a game of some sort. They never bring up what game, though.

3461Very recently, it seems to have gone down. I’ll leave it up here in the case that it gets resurrected. In the meantime, you can visit this site, with which the owner seems to be testing out some new features:
3462http://textboard.dynu.com/
3463
3464It’s back up. As usual, Sageru has the best rules of any message board. The site is like DQN concentrate, so if you’re into that, you might get a kick out of this site. Otherwise, it might be dull to you.

3475WWEsucks
3476http://www.wwesucks.com/
3477
3478The first thing you’ll notice is that the site makes use of a distinctly hideous font. The site seems to be about wrestling, and all the posters seem to actually be serious . . . or not; it’s hard to tell.
3479
3480If you like wrestling but hate WWE, and you enjoy the font Opendyslexic, then this site is for you, I guess. It’s a, uh, really bold font, I must say. The font really captures the high-energy, action-heavy content of wrestling. I mean, it really screams, “wrestling.”

3504moot advertised his site on a few of places, namely Something Awful and world2ch. 4chan used to be filled with tripcodes, a complete 180 from what it is now, but the users from world2ch seem to have pushed towards discussion more in favor of anonymity. Beyond that, what makes this site special has to be RedCream’s posts, which compose a fourth of the board. I can only hope to aspire to become half as creamy as RedCream . . . my hero.

3671Gelbooru

3674Gelbooru, interestingly, the site script was created entirely from scratch. At the moment, the site software has not been released. The site mostly focuses on images that feature anime or hentai.

3685Imageboard Search

3687https://ibsearch.xxx/
3688
3689Note that the two different addresses direct you to two particular categories of the site: the “.ch” address is the typical booru; whereas, the “.xxx” address, as the domain might suggest, directs you to the NSFW category, though it seems like the images on the latter part of the site are not exclusively pornographic or even something that one might find titillating.
3690
3691This is a what appears to be a particularly useful booru that indexes images from other boorus. As it doesn’t rely on user submissions, the site isn’t entirely like conventional boorus.
3692According to the site owner, this site is a successor to the old IbSearch which had plateaued at roughly five million images due to the demand for resources. At the moment, the site owner maintains several servers and several bots that collect images from the other boorus.

3704Katawa Shoujo
3705http://shimmie.katawa-shoujo.com/post/
3706
3707The site is devoted to images relating to the visual novel Katawa Shoujo.
3708As a very personal opinion, I’d like to point out the fact that most of these images range from tolerable to rather good in terms of quality, which is always nice to see, but I’m not exactly a shrewd doodler or anything of the sort, so I wouldn’t say that my opinion is worth much.
3709
3710------------------------------------------------------

3719Konachan

3721This site isn’t exclusively devoted to the character Kona, though, whoever that might be. In fact, this booru is supposed to host high-resolution pictures. At the top of every image, you can see the resolution.

3746Nihonmaru
3747http://www.nihonomaru.net/chan/
3748
3749The site collects pornagraphic images. The only prerequisite for the user submissions, it appears, has to be that the images are in the style of alternative Eastern art; ergo, you should submit anime, and you should expect anime when searching this site.

3762
3763Paheal most certainly shares Rule34’s endeavor in the sort of content it collects, but in addition to having a considerably larger amount of content, it also has a part of the site devoted to cosplay and gender swapping. There is a considerable larger amount of content here than on Rule34.
3764Note the announcement at the top that declares that the site is cracking down on pornography depicting minors, even if the images are simulated.

3775Rate Me
3776http://rate.nyo.me/
3777
3778The site boasts a concept that, while most certainly not foreign, is somewhat unique for a booru: women appear to take photographs of themselves, and users rate the women on a ten-heart system. Naturally, all the ratings are consistently very positive and inflated, but, it would be hard to say what style of rating wouldn’t be over-aggrandized when dealing with a subject as subjective as a woman’s attractiveness.

3848
3849The site runs on the Gelbooru script.
3850The site seems to procure images from other sites and put them on this site, similar imageboard search. Though, I suppose, calling what’s essentially an image gallery an imageboard is technically correct, the site owner, I feel, is a bit mistaken in calling this site The Big Imageboard.
3851

3853
3854The Doujin
3855http://thedoujin.com/index.php/categories/index

3857The website is built off of the Gelbooru script, but the site collects albums of images the same way that e-hentai/exhentai does. The content is similar to those two sites, too.

3860
3861Touhouradiobooru
3862http://booru.touhouradio.com/
3863
3864This site has quite the name, I must say. It looks like the images are supposed to be associated with various IRC channels, but I don’t really know. Apparently, all the cool /jp/goers have moved on and started using IRC. I suppose that’s a better way to get a quick response to your questions, but the compromise is that you receive less thorough answers.

3879The site is supposed to host vectors, and, as useful as that would be, I can’t help but notice the fact that most of these images are .png files. I may be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure that defeats the purpose of a vector.

3932
3933Among the textboards, there’s also directories for some other stuff:

4009
4010An archiver for 4chan
4011
4012I spent a considerable amount of time pondering as to whether I’d categorize Warosu as an imageboard or a textboard. In the end, as you can probably see, I decided to put it under the “other” category, the reason being that, if I were to establish my criteria in such a way that I would allow Warosu to be a textboard or an imageboard, I would have to include other archives for the simple fact that they also include ghost posting. Really, ghost posting is the animus for my giving Warosu this honorable mention. Ghost mode is utilized more on Warosu’s /jp/ board than on any other part of the archive, or any other archive for that matter. To add to that, Warosu’s really the only place where anyone has actually thought to ghost post intentionally, knowing that they cannot actually interact with the thread as they post. On the other archives, if you toggle ghost posting, you’ll find that it consists of idiots who forget they’re in the archive or simply cannot put two and two together to realize that their posts aren’t going to effect a dead, two-year-old thread.
4013Naturally, there is no moderation. Of course, you don’t really need to moderate what’s simply text. The whole point of Warosu is that there’s absolutely no quality control. This is the /jp/ community’s equivalent to /z/ or limbo, as banned posters have a tendency to post here.
4014The archive, naturally, doubles as a 4chan archive, so you can find a few interesting resources there, if you have the time, patience, and perseverance.
4015
4016Update: due to funding issues, it appears as though internal posting has been suspended. Image archival has also seems to have been nixed.

40274x13’s Website
4028http://4x13.net/
4029
40304x13’s website. What’s his actual name? I’m not sure.
4031
4032Directories:
4033/buddhism/ - If you’ve ever thought about converting to Buddhism
4034/bbs/ - The BBS
4035/links/ - Most notably, it links you to LainChan, Tohno-Chan, 6ch, and world2ch. Unfortunately the little link in the corner that reads “xxx” doesn’t direct you to some SHAB action but rather a site made by some autismo in love with Lain all presented in a way that would probably make for a good SCP article. The site is pretty well-made, I must admit.
4036Among those, there’s some nice blogs, resources, and some fantastic websites boasting some rather clever ideas. The site owner also likes JerkCity, so, if it weren’t already clear, it’s blatantly obvious that he’s a huge nerd.
4037/gal/ - A booru/image gallery of some sort. A disappointing lack of porn :/
4038/game/ - Don’t let the name trick you: this “game” tricks you into donating to the site! What cunning deception!
4039/linux/
4040/flow/ - An actual game
4041/blog/
4042/me/ - Some personal links

40469ch (Choice cuts) ★
4047http://9ch.ru/scripts/
4048
4049This seems to be a collection of what appears to be textboard scripts. Its a rather large one, at that.

4051------------------------------------------------------
4052
4053All Chans
4054English
4055http://allchan.org/
4056
4057It really isn’t a forum as much as it is a collection of forums. On top of that, it is a clone of Overchan, the reason being that Overchan has been deemed dead for future updates. If I’m not mistaken, it relies on submissions from the site’s users. What All Chans endeavors to do is to continue where Overchan left off, naturally. It seems to be updated fairly frequently, though its scope isn’t quite that large.
4058The website features tags and the option to share posts on other social media websites, which is a bit trying, though you shouldn’t see that once you utilize the sidebar to access other sites.
4059
4060I never understood the whole OverChan thing, though. Sidebars in themselves feel a bit cumbersome, in my mind, and I feel like putting all the boards in one place limits you to a superficial experience of the site.
4061
4062------------------------------------------------------
4063
4064Anime Princess Island
4065http://animeprincessisland.moe/
4066
4067At some point, API and API’s most notable and only offshoot, Chuu (chuu.pw), had been spammed on 4chan’s /a/ and /jp/ by the one and only terme, Chuu’s site owner, as well as some other friends. Don’t worry about Chuu, though: the forum was taken down less than a few months in, and if you try to access the site, you will be redirected to Gaia Online, which is virtually identical to API in most respects. Chuu lives on as an IRC channel.
4068It’s easy to discern how much of the forum’s air is pulled from the community on /a/. With that in mind, what you’re seeing is a community that, in a prolonged paroxysm of unfulfilled yellow fever, decided that they would group together and talk about how they just want to be pretty girls and be held tight by a strong, reliable man and simply indulge in that until their weird craving solidifies and becomes a hopeless obsession. The only discernable female posters, assuming they aren’t joke personas made by some of the users, are, ironically, more toxic and aggressive than the male posters.
4069Amusingly, the users seem to have manifested a new gender out of their own dysphoria, keeping one foot in their masculinity and the other in whatever is going on in there. In that way, this site represents the visible consequences of the information age as they ground their identity, it seems, more in a profile than their own bodies, which can be regarded as extraneous.
4070The users are predictably cynical about the quality of their own posts, and yet they continue to revel in their kusoposting. The forum is primarily a chatroom, and it boasts the vapid, forgettable (and moderately disturbing) culture that they cling onto in vain for some reason.

4077They used to have an imageboard, but that was scrapped after someone started spamming the board. At this moment, you can visit the site just to watch them stream movies, some of which aren’t bad.

4081Aoi-chan
4082http://hii.aoi-chan.com/
4083
4084It appears to be a tracker that catalogs anime. While the interface is very dull, it probably gets the job done, but at the moment, there isn’t that much content. Certainly, this site isn’t a viable alternative to something like BakaBT or Nyaa.

4088Chanstat
4089https://chanstat.ru/
4090Russian
4091
4092This site appears to record the traffic and revenue of what I’m guessing are the eight most relevant imageboards in Russia, the most notable of these eight being Krautchan and 4chan, both of which are the two only boards whose main language isn’t Russian.

4125Dollship (Choice cuts)
4126http://dollship.ru/vault/
4127
4128It’s the same as 9ch’s directory that collects the scripts of several imageboards, but the imageboards that both of these sites procure its data from differ.

4132Fool Frame
4133http://boards.wohlfe.net/
4134
4135While this site shares the same script as many of the 4chan archives, it does not seem to be archiving 4chan boards. In spite of that, I have deemed that the board, after a great deal of head scratching and investigation, archives no other site than itself, and it functions as a n independent forum. The air is very similar to that of Ota or What, but this site is remarkably more obscure.

4139Gallo
4140http://gallo.host56.com/
4141
4142This is more of the testing site for apathetic, the owner of DameIB. I nearly mistook DameTube for the same sort of feature that the Post Office has with its television, but, in actuality, Dame only embedded one of his personal playlists. The playlist is primarily anime soundtracks.
4143His main page links to a few textboards and imageboards, but if you’ve read this thread, none of those sites should be anything new.
4144
4145He also seems to have archived 7chan’s flash board.
4146

4149Haruhichan (Tracker)
4150
4151Haruhichan looks like a very professional, dependable site; it’s convincing enough to where you might just forget the fact that you’re still pirating. The places where it falls short includes the fact that the site doesn’t have an about page, which makes creating this description a tiny bi harder.

4165It’s kind of like OverChan’s Japanese counterpart. If you’re curious about japanese textboards/imageboards, you’re going to want to check this out, because I’m probably not going to get to that for a while.
4166
4167Apathetic probably put a lot of work in that site, so be sure to check out his site, DameIB.

4171Kotori’s Site
4172http://kotori.me/
4173
4174Kotori has a number of services that sound actually a little useful. Among the message board, there’s hosted a URL shortener, a text editor, and a spreadsheet maker, the latter two happen to sort of operate like Google Drive. With that in mind, though, I guess there’s no point to it, Google Drive being a free service. Beyond that, though, the site is beyond useless. About half of the pages just seems to be blogging or pointless information about Linux and Computers that everyone knows about.

4197“Neritic is a giant, [nerdy] sausage fest, and there are no females. There are just [loser] males claiming to be females.”
4198 -lemmy, 2011
4199
4200Neritic, from what I understand, was a deviation of a larger forum, the name of which I can’t recall nor really care for. Like Fighting Amphibians, the people on Neritic like to discuss games. The quality of the forum is definitely questionable, but we’ll cut them some slack, considering the content is pretty old.
4201You’ll find that now, as the forum is closed, Neritic only exists as an IRC channel, a fate that many forums (such as Chuu) have met in the end.

4224Basically the same feature that you may have seen on 4chan’s draw board but devoted entirely to showcasing your doodles rather than discussion. The interface is oriented towards that, but, unlike what you may have expected, beyond the user-generated content, there is no components that tie in with social media or interoperability or even quite that much of a community. You can create an account, but that’s entirely optional, as you can post anonymously.

4231The site is most well known (if you consider a few people linking the site to its being popular) for its “overbooru” which had collected Danbooru clones, but that seems to have been nixed, which is a tragedy. Beyond that, the site owner has compiled a rather large number of flash animations.

4332There’s no denying, despite what’s most certainly a very clever and fresh idea, that World of Text’s paradigm is one that is rooted in the concept of message board culture, mainly using text and exclusively text as a means to convey ideas. Partly, this is a sort of sentimental archaism; ASCII art, naturally, is prevalent. The elementary fact that the meaning of an idea is distorted by the medium itself should be understood.
