510==============================
511Introduction
512==============================
513
514The reason I decided to make this guide was primarily because I just wanted a reference for myself, but I see no reason not to share it with all of you. Imageboards are interesting, and they’re an excellent example of social media untainted by mainstream sensibilities.
515
516It might be a little presumptuous to put my opinions up on a pedestal, but I couldn’t just list a website without some kind of comprehensible description in order to make you feel a certain way, or else this list would be about as useful as if I didn’t even compile it at all. I don’t consider myself an authority on any of this, and I know that, at some points, my insights will be shallow and really reflect my lack of technical knowledge.. I’m sorry if you find that annoying. I’d be happy to listen to your suggestions, and if you want to submit a website you think should go on this list, whether it’s yours or someone else’s, all you have to do is eMail me.
517
518★ 	I’ve used a star to denote websites that might be of interest to most people
519★★ 	I’ve used two stars to denote websites that I think everyone should pay a visit to
520
521I’ll evaluate the forums in these criteria:
522First Impressions
523Navigation
524Content
525Attractors
526Making Contact 
527Knowledge of Users
528Making Contact
529
530I’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 it would be wasting time to list them all and detract attention from actual, worthwhile websites.
531
532Due to how ever-changing they seem to be, I did not put in the effort to include sites accessible by means of Tor or i2p or anything like that.
533
534If you’re not familiar with most these kind of sites, please be aware that the content on anonymous boards strikes a 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”. And also remember that any sort of idea can be posted, thus it is very likely that you will be offended in some way.

54002ch
541https://02ch.in/
542Russian
543
544This site is not affiliated with 02chsu, apparently, except the blatantly similar names. I guess the site owner just liked the name and took it. It isn’t very creative, though -- the name, too.
545It’s a shame there aren’t an infinite amount of numbers, or else the site owner could have come up with a name that is new and original.
546
547------------------------------------------------------
548
54902ch.net
550http://02ch.net/
551Russian
552
553Another attempt at reviving 02ch
554
555------------------------------------------------------
556
55702chsu
558http://02ch.su/
559Russian
560
561There’s not much to see. This imageboard uses the default template, and it has all the regular boards. I guess there is something to be said about a website with so little personality -- not that I have anything else to say.
562
563------------------------------------------------------
564
5650chan 
566http://0chan.cc/
567Russian
568
569From 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. 
570When 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.
571
572You 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.
573
574------------------------------------------------------
575
5760-chan
577http://0-chan.ru/
578Russian
579
580The former address of 0chan. You’ll find the site is still there, but you cannot interact with it.
581
582------------------------------------------------------
583
5840chan.cf
585http://0chan.cf/
586Russian
587
588Another site that attempts to emulate 0chan
589The front page has an image that represents the 0chan Dynasty.
590
591------------------------------------------------------
592
5930chan.esy
594http://0chan.esy.es/
595Russian
596
597The 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.
598
599------------------------------------------------------
600
601100l
602http://100l.yzi.me/
603Russian
604
605Another forgettable site, unless you haven’t seen the script that it employs, yet, but the lack of content makes even that worthless.
606
607------------------------------------------------------
608
6091337chan
610http://1337chan.tk/
611Russian
612
613On the homepage, you might find that the site has a sort of radio that plays automatically, assuming that noscript hasn’t blocked that feature. The site owner and/or whoever maintains Ghost Anime Radio seems to like J-Pop, anime OSTs, and EDM—typical nerd stuff.
614It’s a good thing Russian text doesn’t permit leetspeak, lest there be yet another thing to add to the list of things that make this endless bummer of a forum blow. 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. 
615
616------------------------------------------------------
617
6181chan ★ 
619http://www.1chan.net/
620
621A 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. Pretty sure it uses the futallaby script, don’t think I need to explain why that’s cool, looks like a Fucking Relic.
622
623------------------------------------------------------
624
6251chan.inach
626http://1chan.inach.org/
627Russian
628
629At 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, making it more of a textboard with the feature of adding a photo.
630
631------------------------------------------------------
632
6331Eden
634http://www.1eden.com/
635
636“Flash is trash,” says one admin to the other, and the admin returns with a counterargument. Another admin chimes in.There’s one thing they agree on, though: “Our site is innovative, really pushing the boundaries,” they exclaim; and they revel in their achievement without a single thought as to why no one else posts in their cozy little bubble of friendship, 1Eden, as opposed to the main competitor for their userbase, Reddit.
637
638------------------------------------------------------
639
6401chanus
641https://1chan.us/
642
643What 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.
644
645------------------------------------------------------
646
64710ch
648http://10ch.org/gazou/
649Japanese and English
650
651What 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. 
652
653------------------------------------------------------
654
65510ch.ru
656http://10ch.ru/
657Russian
658
659This site is partly affiliated with a sort of professional blog, and it kind of shows. Well, it functions fine enough, and it’s rather active, it looks like. The site is built off of Kusaba X.
660
661------------------------------------------------------
662
66310chan
664http://ech.su/
665http://10ch.ru/
666Russian
667
668The site owner seems to have nixed the sidebar, but beyond that, there’s nothing to really report about the site. It seems like you can create your own board, the same way that you might in Anon-IB, but I’m unsure as to how true that is.
669
670------------------------------------------------------
671
67213channel
673http://13ch.nl/
674
675The site uses its own unique script, but I’m unsure what it’s called. THe most notable feature is that the sidebar is to the left. The site isn’t very active.
676
677------------------------------------------------------
678
6792cat
680http://2cat.twbbs.org/
681Japanese
682
683The classic imageboard layout with a few modifications in order to to make the board look a tiny bit nicer.
684
685------------------------------------------------------
686
6872--ch
688https://2--ch.ru/
689https://2-ch.su/
690Russian
691
692Weirdly enough, the site’s introduction accommodates Japanese speakers but not English speakers. Note that there are two addresses for this site. Even weirder is the fact that the site has two addresses, which are virtually the same.
693
694------------------------------------------------------
695
6962-chru
697https://2-chru.net/
698Russian
699
700It’s hard to tell whether this site is associated with 2-ch or not, but it most likely is. Or, rather, both are so considerably vapid that they are identical by not modifying the default theme or content at all.
701
702------------------------------------------------------
703
7042ch-an
705http://www.2ch-an.ru/
706
707It seems to be remarkably similar to 10ch.ru, but if that’s the case, then this site is rather redundant. It lacks most of the bells and whistles 10ch.ru boasts and is much less active.
708

715The site is devotedly maintained by a Nicholas Fedorov, who is infamously known for the computer-made videos he’s created depicting himself and his waifu (formerly Yuuko, Nicholas switched to Yuki, because he’s an unfaithful bastard).
716His devotion to the art of ironically shitting yourself in front of everyone is praiseworthy.

724You’ll notice that the homepage is a Lorem Ipsum text accompanied by a stale meme that I speculate was probably popularized on /r9k/, though I’ve reached the scope of my knowledge about memes, honestly (though that isn’t really a bad thing), so I can’t guide you on that. 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.

755You 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.

765This is a particularly interesting board in that emulates a command prompt.

767Despite 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.

801You’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. 
802
803The 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.

828http://4chan.org/
829
830As it is one of the most popular forums, I will not make the effort to discuss 4chan in detail, or else I would have to be fair and afford at least an hour to each and every other one of these sites, which is a toil I would not like to put myself through.
831
8324chan 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.
833
834The 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.
835
836If 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.
837
838There’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. 
839
840Notable boards:
841/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.

904Unlike 7chan, the userbase here is conscious enough of themselves to act cynical and parody their culture, but they still do nothing about it; of course, the same could be said about pretty much any component of imageboard culture, but 711chan operates at a lower level of quality, which is saying something. The site is slow and relatively passive, but they cater to /b/tards. Shockingly, this site is rather popular, but like I said, it’s more of a sleeper.

911I’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.

921What 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.
922
923In 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’.

936The site name is sometimes stylized as 8ch, for some absurd reason.
937
938It’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.
939
940I find it hard to synthesize what I’ve heard about the site and find a reasonable conclusion right now, 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.

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.

1066Anon-IB is basically 8chan if it were ran by a total dunce.

1176Bienvenido a Internet - Spanish
1177http://www.bienvenidoainternet.org/
1178
1179The site boasts what’s a blatantly playful air. It’s really quite a shame that the site caters to a primarily Spanish-speaking audience, because it’s a nice site. In the bottom corner, you’ll find that there’s a picture that reads “powered by MITTENS.” That, of course, is a running joke that is also present on 4-ch’s DQN. THe very subtle reference is essentially a preview for what the site is composed of, which is DQN-quality content, all of which is very fun. There is a /z/ board, too (though, under the directory /0/, which seems to be common in the Spanish community). 
1180This site, among other forums, is a major contributor in the argument of the Spanish community being perhaps one of the best online imageboard communities on the web, behind the Americans and Russians, of course.

1192Britfags
1193http://www.britfa.gs/
1194
1195Precisely what the address reads. This place is more like a continuation of Britchan, another British imageboard that happened to be shut down. In my mind, if you’re from the UK, then you listen to rave, garage, or jungle music, so I should think that’s probably what most of the site’s discussion consists of. /*/ is the funposting board, though you’ll find that the site owner respects himself too much to deviate far from the site’s typical theme.

1307This 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.

1319CMWP, LLC. Discussion Board

1322It’s unknown what CMWP or LLC stand for, but one thing's for sure: no less than two Piña coladas and no loafing.
1323The 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.

1327Cryptochan

1331Cryptochan 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.

1351Dejimachan

1357------------------------------------------------------
1358
1359DameIB - Dame Image Board
1360http://dameib.net/
1361
1362I’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.
1363
1364The files board is simply that. 
1365
1366I 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.
1367
1368It’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.

1392Demochan 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, though one should ask, “why should anyone do this?”

1466
1467If 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.
1468
1469While 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.
1470
1471The 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.

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.
1543The site almost makes me think of Bun or Ota with its playfulness.

1591There 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.

1639The 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.
1640The 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.
1641Footchan certainly does better than Trevchan, in the sense that the site owner is more capable of fucking with the users.

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.

1691I’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.
1692If 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.

1740Gay NEETs from Outer Space
1741http://gnfos.com/
1742
1743Also stylized as /gnfos/, or sometimes gnfoes, and trevchan on very special occasions. Imagine if a Warosu poster found /ota/ and then rediscovered Warosu, at which point said poster’s latent affinity for cult films has been realized.
1744
1745The content is a bit juvenile, but it’s rather unique, and the Trevor roleplay is actually quite funny, I must admit.
1746
1747If 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. 
1748Drive is the film starring Ryan Gosling, if you didn’t know.
1749
1750Essentially, Trev has established a formula of taking a cult film and kind of bastardizing it in a funny way to fit the air of the imageboard. I am tempted to wonder if GNFOS could have ended up more playful and friendly, like Ota, but then I remember that the central board is named Jewish Pride, and so it was bound to draw in the crude, fractious crowd that likes to act anti-semitic ironically.
1751

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.

1787Gurochan
1788https://gurochan.ch/
1789
1790There’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. 
1791It’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. 
1792The 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.

That feature is implemented, presumably, because that ensures a better quality of posts made. The two topics that can be discussed are Strike Witches and Girls und Panzer, each on respective boards. There is also an off-topic board.

1839Hikkichan essential caters to the same crowd as Uboachan, except the crowd whom they’re catering towards is explicitly labeled, which gives me the impression that this forum is more forced than Uboa. The introduction at the beginning informing the site visitors of what an imageboard furthers this impression, as Uboa operates under the conception that the users are already conscious of what an imageboard is and more content-oriented.
1840To describe Hikikomoris as “extreme,” in my mind, is something actual Hikikis wouldn’t label themselves as.

1881You’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.
1882
1883Something 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. 
1897Overall, this site is very through. If it were my site, I would be rather proud of it.

1901Iccanobif’s Imageboard
1902http://iccanobif.altervista.org/sgb/imgboard.htm
1903
1904Iccanobif, 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. 
1905According 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.
1906
1907Ostensibly, iccanobif was an moderator for a particular forum, but he won’t disclose which or what kind of forum it was to me. 
1908
1909I’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.

1918What 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. 
1919Here’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, in the scenario that the site was actually seized, which it was not, 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.

2053
2054Perhaps 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. 
2055To 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. 
2056
2057Though 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/.

2124Interestingly, 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.
2125
2126While 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.
2127Despite 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.
2128
2129Despite all that, what the site endeavors to do is very commendable, and the site integrates its constituents together quite well.

2142
2143The site owner has decided to crack down on copyrighted images due to several takedown notices he’s received, which is very odd, considering that issue is very easy to circumvent by simply writing a disclaimer down at the bottom, like most popular imageboards have done.

2147Magic
2148https://gensou.chakai.org/magic/
2149
2150While 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.
2151
2152And 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.

2171http://maloloschan.com/
2172
2173A humble Fillipino imageboard that seems to be really well-made, though not too exceptional. The site owner seems to have decided to list the boards at the top as what they are rather than what the directories are named. The site even has an app for Android. Very nice.

2179
2180When I initially saw the site, I mistook it for a honeypot, if that gives you any impression of what the site is like. Actually, it’s probably a honeypot. It’s hard to tell if the content is ironic or not; I should hope it is. 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. 
2181
2182If the childish, uninspired content in the spam is what the site owner sincerely perceives to be the ideal qualities for an imageboard or if this site is what the owner perceives to be the most seductive a forum can be, then his interests and resources are largely misguided.

2190I have a sibling who liked Robotech. That’s as far as it goes for me in terms of my knowing about mecha. What’s even more beyond me is the animus for a passion like that, but that’s, of course, their prerogative.

2192I’d certainly never think to eroticize something like mecha, though I don’t condemn their doing that.

This is not to be mistaken for a catalog feature. If you click on an image in the image gallery, the image will open up in a new tab as the full image.

2259
2260With a name like NewFapChan, it’s easy to know what you’re getting into. 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.

2382It’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.

2464
2465Shinji 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.

2516Shanachan
2517https://shanachan.org/
2518
2519Another 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. 
2520There’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. 
2521It you’re interested in Russian imageboard culture, I would suggest poking around the site’s /m/ board. Aparently, this imageboard boasts some old artifacts from some mundane tripcode user under the moniker of Soviet Russia; however, this can be said for a good number of forums, especially iccanobif’s forum, which iccanobif inadvertently made into a tribute to himself, though I know he doesn’t really want it to be that way. Well, actually, iccanobif seems to be indifferent.
2522Since we’re on the topic of the /m/ board, we might as well discuss whether the ability to share music so easily (rather than having the users take the initiative to seek out the music on 4chan’s /mu/) fosters or destroys discussion. What does music discussion even consist of? “I like this record,” and then the image is shared. It’s the images that are shared repeatedly that a new user recognizes. It’s the user’s familiarity with a particular record that may compel the user to listen to it.
2523

2532Sibirchan

2535
2536The 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.

2564The 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.

2610The 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.
2611A 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.
2612
2613As 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:

2637
2638The 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.
2639
2640I 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.
2641
2642Perhaps 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/.
2643
2644From 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.”
2645If 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.
2646
2647This 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.
2648
2649Directories:
2650/tea/ - This is the actual forum, where you can post.
2651/tea/way/ - You’ll want to read this page. It gives you an impression of what the board’s about.
2652/roji/ - This records the planned times for when /tea/ opens up.
2653/toko/ - This is a clever little page that shows only the word “mu,” meaning nothingness. How very zen.

2667
2668There 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 to this quasi-RPG.
2669Honestly, 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.

2692There 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.

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.

2713Named 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. 
2714One 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.
2715Tohno is one of those boards that shouldn’t really be as popular as it is, but it is, and these guys are just ridiculous.

2833
2834Uboachan 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.
2835
2836It 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.

2874http://walpurgischan.net/meduka/
2875
2876There’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 (one of them even going as far as writing an essay about the show for his low-level college writing class, comparing Madoka to Nietzsche, which is downright laughable). It’s all construed nonsense. Along with sharing media, that’s partly what the site’s discussion is composed of: construed gibberish.

I have this inkling that said friend might soon take the initiative to create something on his site that takes this guide and “further organizing them by activity somewhat. The English ones at least.” I imagine that would be an interesting prospect, if what he wrote were even remotely coherent.
2884The nature of the content on the site is comparable to Lupchan and [s4s], except the site speaks primarily Spanish.

2888Werchan
2889http://guhnoo.org/
2890
2891Similar to /what/ Werchan is more like a textboard with an added image feature. Granted, you can embed images on most textboards, but it’s much easier on this site to add an image, as there’s a button that does the work for you, so you don’t have to understand BBCode.
2892
2893The site itself deals with computers, primarily computer programming; however, it also maintains the regular boards that most imageboards seem to boast, such as an international board and a random board. The site is definitely comparable to Lainchan, but this one is less gimmicky; the fact that this site has so many boards shows that it is not humble, but it’s certainly less obnoxious than its aspie, Lain-loving counterpart. The site owner knows his shit. 
2894Speaking of which, this is the project of the same man who owns kotori.me.

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, and there's something sultry and flirty in the way that these people act which turns me on. What is wrong with me?
2904
2905The interface is very unabrasive, unimposing, and uncluttered making this particular site very accessible relative to other forums with the same script.

2915For the unaware, there’s a running joke on the net that suggests those who remain virgins until they become middle-aged will become Wizards. As a result, Wizard has become sort of a euphemism for virgins. 
2916As the name suggests, this site was made to cater to virgins.

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.

2940The 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.
2941
2942The /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.

3062Russian
3063
3064It’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.
3065
3066------------------------------------------------------
3067
30684-ch - Channel4 ★
3069http://4-ch.net/
3070
30714-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.
3072
3073Unfortunately, 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.
3074
3075DQN 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).
3076Internet 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.
3077
3078Without 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.

3104
3105This site is not to be associated with the imageboard of the same name, though they’re both bad.
3106While 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.
3107As far as content goes, it seems to be something about working or school.

3144If nothing more, this board could be a good resource for the Castlevania Fighting Game, or whatever the game is, especially if you can’t get enough of it, though that’s pretty unlikely.
3145
3146Interestingly, the board uses the same theme as the Energy Breaker BBS. I guess that’s the norm for boards devoted to video games or something.

3165English and German 
3166
3167Note that very little of the content on the board is actually German, except the owner of the site.
3168
3169Textboards 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.
3170You’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.
3171
3172There’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.
3173
3174Unfortunately, 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.

3197The board is built off of the Kareha textboard script
3198
3199From what I understand, En Bloc is a visual novel of some sort.
3200
3201Interestingly, the board boasts a feature in which you can add a picture, so the board is partly an imageboard. It should be noted, however, that if the board accepts HTML markup, you can always embed the images, making the function, though convenient, redundant.

3215Not really a textboard as much as it is supposed to showcase variations on the Tablecat BBS script, which, apparently, should be taken down once the site no longer has its purpose as a test site for the new scripts.
3216
3217/board/ is similar to what you see on Post Office. It’s characterised by what’s a fairly bright palette and a rather sleek, simple interface.
3218On /fries/, you talk about fries. I’ve never actually seen a textboard use this template; I think the software hasn’t actually been published yet, but if you see a site using this software, feel free to contact me. I don’t mind! We can talk about boys and maybe coordinate a sleepover sometime :3 we can have pillow fights and uh maybe practice kissing ha, ha I’m just joking but I mean if you want to I’m just joking ha, ha, ha... 
3219/lounge/ is the classic message board template
3220/test/ is the public testing board, used for testing out your ASCII art and BBCode
3221/time/ is the template used on 6ch

3243EXE INTERNET MESSAGING BOARD (4FREEDOM!) - Posting is closed
3244http://exeishere.org/x/index.html
3245
3246The board is built off of the Kareha textboard script.
3247
3248It doesn’t really make much sense outside of context. I’m afraid you might not get much out of it.
3249
3250The message board is some sort of game, I think, that went on in 2012. The posters are roleplaying. If you visit this website, here, you’ll find that ByoLogyc, this sort of Umbrella-type company which they seem to be attacking:

3252Here’s some videos which were evidently thrown together in iMovie:

3254Apparently this is an extension of a show of some kind.
3255
3256It seems like the posters are more focused on roleplaying, the board being more of a means for that, than any sort of board culture. For that reason, the forum doesn’t give you any intimation as to what it’s about.

3265
3266Explore 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.
3267
3268Initially, 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. 
3269The 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.

3273FanBBS
3274http://www.fanbbs.net/
3275
3276Despite 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.
3277Interestingly, 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.

3299Furry One Writing Critique

3302
3303Note that the site owner doesn’t want to affiliate itself with *chan culture. I wonder why. 
3304As 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.
3305While 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.
3306There 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.

3379Despite 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.
3380The 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.

3397The 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.

3403
3404The 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.

3447Mahjong 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 (or else why would they make this board?). 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 breathe life back into the forum. A miracle! Yay!
3448Make 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.
3449
3450I 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.

3548Post Office Letter Box 
3549http://afternoon.dynu.com/letterbox.html
3550
3551Perhaps one of the best 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.
3552
3553The design and layout is pretty memorable. It’s very palatable and rather simple.
3554
3555The navigation is simple and easy to comprehend. It does a good job effacing clutter from the mix, which can be hard for textboards.
3556
3557This 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
3558
3559When 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.
3560It’s not immediately gratifying, though, so expect to spend a little time perusing the catalog of threads.
3561
3562While fairly intuitive, the home page could be a bit overwhelming for newcomers.
3563Despite that, it’s very easy and inviting to make a new thread.

3596
3597Before Sheeber, there was Bungleboard, but I’m not going to take the initiative to include that site. Relative to API, this site is neither friendly nor intuitive. 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.
3598This 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.

3617Secret Area of VIP Quality (SAoVQ) ★
3618http://www.secretareaofvipquality.net/
3619
3620The 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.
3621
3622If 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. 
3623An 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 ;)
3624
3625SAoVQ 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.

3649Without even reading any of the posts, it’s easy to reach the conclusion that the site is rather vulgar, as far as textboards go.

3655
3656Though The Society for the Study of Modern Imageboard Culture happens to sound like a very interesting topic, I won’t deny the fact that it doesn’t seem to be moderated all that well, considering some Indonesian fellow continues to spam a poker blog, followed by a multitude of other really unrelated sites on there, and the posts are neither deleted nor cycled out by other threads. 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.
3657Ironically, this board is only linked on the site through the site’s anti-spam page.

3701Treeboard ★
3702https://board.treech.at/
3703
3704I’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.

3752
3753If 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.”

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.

3832What makes this site distinct is that it collects images throughout the web, including 4chan, at which point the Chan4chan community can submit and discuss the images. The community is unironically immature and presumably underaged, though, but when you’re desperate, anything goes.
3833Ironically, the interface to this site is more attractive to me than the archive, which takes on the more orthodox talkboard interface. In terms of both interface and content, to me at least, it is all very nostalgic, but the content is still too vapid to tolerate.

4028
4029This 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.
4030According 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.

4043http://shimmie.katawa-shoujo.com/post/
4044
4045The site is devoted to images relating to the visual novel Katawa Shoujo. 
4046As 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.

4124The 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.

4195The site runs on the Gelbooru script.
4196The 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.

4210This 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.

4279Among the textboards, there’s also directories for some other stuff:

4355Warosu 
4356https://warosu.org/
4357
4358An archiver for 4chan
4359
4360I 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. 
4361Naturally, 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.
4362The archive, naturally, doubles as a 4chan archive, so you can find a few interesting resources there, if you have the time, patience, and perseverance.
4363
4364Update: due to funding issues, it appears as though internal posting has been suspended. Image archival has also seems to have been nixed.

4377
43784x13’s website. What’s his actual name? I’m not sure.
4379
4380Directories:
4381/buddhism/ - If you’ve ever thought about converting to Buddhism
4382/bbs/ - The BBS 
4383/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. 
4384Among 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.
4385/gal/ - A booru/image gallery of some sort. A disappointing lack of porn :/
4386/game/ - Don’t let the name trick you: this “game” tricks you into donating to the site! What cunning deception!
4387/linux/

4397Beyond the archive of 4chan’s /b/, this is perhaps one of the most ambitious imageboard archives, because this site archives virtually everything from the countless boards generated by 8chan. It’s very useful, too, as inactive boards will be effaced from the site.
4398
4399The site also advocates the SpookyX script, which works to augment the user experience of most imageboard archives.

4410All Chans
4411English
4412http://allchan.org/
4413
4414It 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.
4415The 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.
4416
4417I 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.

4421Anime Princess Island
4422http://animeprincessisland.moe/
4423
4424At 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. Chuu is still significant, as it garnered a number of users not on API, and so, once Chuu was taken down, some the users migrated to API.
4425It’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. 
4426Amusingly, 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.
4427The 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.
4428
4429Actually, forget all of that. I post on there when I'm in the mood for a man pretending to be sharp cutie-pie who might conceivably imagine me for one as well. What the hell is wrong with me?

4533While 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.

4537Gallo
4538http://gallo.host56.com/
4539
4540This 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. 
4541His main page links to a few textboards and imageboards, but if you’ve read this thread, none of those sites should be anything new.
4542
4543He also seems to have archived 7chan’s flash board.

4547Haruhichan (Tracker)
4548http://haruhichan.com/
4549
4550Haruhichan 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 bit harder.

4568Japanese IMG/TXT Board Navigator v.1 ★
4569http://misc.dameib.net/boards/
4570
4571It’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.
4572
4573Apathetic probably put a lot of work in that site, so be sure to check out his site, DameIB.

4577Kotori’s Site
4578http://kotori.me/
4579
4580Kotori 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.

4600NEETs
4601http://neet.heliohost.org/neet/
4602
4603A site for taking it easy; however, while much more mild-mannered than the Gay NEETs from Outerspace, this site is still on the harsher side relative to most textboards.

4607Neritic Archive
4608http://archive.neritic.net/viewer/#/
4609
4610“Neritic is a giant, [nerdy] sausage fest, and there are no females. There are just [loser] males claiming to be females.”
4611		-lemmy, 2011
4612 
4613Neritic, 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. 
4614You’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.

4618Nulchan

4621I’m not sure what this is about. It uses the same logo as 0chan, but it doesn’t seem to be an actual forum.

4628
4629Perhaps the site had some forum at some point, but at this moment, the only forums you’ll be seeing through this site are that which redirect you to other addresses.
4630One could imagine that this site is used to promote what is the Mexican equivalent to Avatar. Why anyone would want to emulate that show is beyond me.
4631
4632------------------------------------------------------
4633
4634Peinto
4635https://www.peinto.org/
4636
4637Basically 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. The replies are always anonymous, whether you have an account or not.

4641Pinochan
4642http://pinochan.net/news.php
4643
4644The 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.

4658In addition to the textboard, there’s a video board, an image gallery, and a sort of message-in-a-bottle-type thing. My online bestie, Alyssa, rebuked the site, calling it, “all gimmicks,” which I guess is partly truthful.

4686Unlike what All Chans would like me to believe, this isn’t a site, but rather, this is a sort of image gallery or a blog that operates under a tagging system. That isn’t to say that his site isn’t interesting, but it isn’t an imageboard. It appears to use the Werc script.

4688This site comes up way more often than it should.

4752World of Text
4753http://www.yourworldoftext.com/
4754
4755There’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.
