>>743I still use 4chan for the anime boards and /g/. Also use 8gag /a/ as well, it and the absolute tiniest boards (e.x., /svidya/, /senran/, /vr/) there make it worth it to use that cesspool. KC /int/ is still an interesting board even if content quality has markedly dropped over the years. Sometimes I'll go on that one timed imageboard and lurk, reminds me of old 4am threads back in the day. Such a nice place. I use Lainchan still, sorta: the only language I use that the site will tolerate is Python, and I sometimes wish I had a place to talk about mainstream langs with non-mongs.
I used to use Fighting Amphibians, just before That Guy ditched his admin position. That place was absolutely insane and the subgroups within it (inadvertently or otherwise) predicted/predated a lot of the current culture across the internet. I wouldn't like for it to come back, but I had a lot of good times and friends there. Definitely a place that kicked a chunk of the teenage garbage out of how I behaved before I was a member of that community, the people there taught me a lot of good life lessons, some inadvertently. I wouldn't want to be in contact with some of them again, since some were super bitter and others were nuts, but others I might.
By random chance, if anyone from FA happens to pass by here:
- Yes, Zobby is still the same person he was back when
- I still have Kalkin on my friends list but I haven't sent him a message in years. Wonder if anyone actually got a framed picture of him in the end
- I'll always remember the Mathackers
- I don't see many of those of them left on my friends list playing multiplayer games anymore

Their /a/ is usually a nice place that reminds me of 2007-2009 4chan posting for the most part. There's a fair bit of discussion about past shows and generally decent/inquisitive posting alongside people trying to reinvigorate old "fun". The only times I've ever really seen a truly bad post/thread are when the Chanology 2.0 members leak out from their containment boards if something remotely political or WWII-themed is released (i.e., Duckface, the webtoon with Trump, that crappy Centaur show). If anything, current 4chan has more of general apathy for anime and pic related as its userbase than any of the other living imageboards I peruse.

Words have meanings and people who act this way can't call themselves fans any more than people who deny the scientific method can call themselves scientists.
8/a/ is anti-anime and so is anyone who defends the place. Which apparently means most of the Sushichan community, so I guess this turned out to be yet another shithole I can avoid from now on.
No.853
>>852>without a single person calling them out on it.There's an ability that the human brain developed over the years that allows it to filter out distasteful things, it's called ignoring idiots. Those people have been proven wrong time and time again for years, dating back to BBS/email chains about anime. There are imagecaps of people responding to people like that with essays about what it was like decades ago, most prominently during the time where people would have to get bootleg VCR tapes with dodgy subs. Why waste time and energy even responding to or worrying about them? They're not even a loud or substantial population except maybe on 4chan /a/, and that's mostly because of the size of the site nowadays.
>Words have meaningsWords have definitions. When words are put together into sentences they gain meaning, and when enough words and/or sentences come together, a statement is given context. You keep repeating "anti-anime", the anti prefix defining the phrase as "a group that is against anime". However, for someone who goes on to talk about denying the scientific method, you've chosen to ignore the crux of any discussion, leisurely or not: CCD - Claim, Cite, Discuss. I've seen no indication of ignorance in my time browsing the board barring aforementioned undesirables who only come for some meme or another to try to spread their plague, and you've provided no anecdote about your experience. In fact, right now, I see a lot of pretty enthusiastic discussion: Mosu Telepathy, Princess Principle, OP/ED sharing thread, Lain thread, even GAMERS is getting some, albeit discussion that's mostly about disappointment. Those are just a few examples where I went into a thread and saw friendly and enthusiastic discussion between users about the subject material and things related to it. I don't think I'd call being unwilling to write multi-page comments or constantly trying to prove that one is an anime encyclopedia "ignorance", but it's far and away from awful split-second soundbyte posting that's taken hold on places like 4chan.
You seem to have some sort of hidden holier-than-thou standard of how people should treat entertainment (probably not just anime) which you dance around actually giving meaning to in order to retain your lofty position of superiority above what you perceive as the uncultured masses. Learn to take it easy or make your own imageboard where you can reign supreme with your ultimate patrician taste and profound "pro-anime essays" about why the "Dogs eat dog food" line from LOGH is the best piece of scriptwriting ever produced by Man.

>>1151>their following rp at tsuki/arisu-chanafter the sites design this the best thing about arisuchan because it was something beyond the usual handful of topics that dominate imageboards and a strange wee community had formed around it. lainchan's /layer/, postbox.garden (one day it will take off!), and to a lesser extent dreamchan's /deeds/ are other good examples of something outside of the norms.
I should get "lurker of 1chan" put on my business card because I'm there a lot, not posting of course.
used to float around various a/jp offshoots (kakashi nenpo, bunbunmaru, ota-ch, samachan, etc.) because I enjoyed the enthusiasm but I'm not much of a fan of anime and the few good manga recommendations I've found have come from here and post office lol.

I used to post on a board called ykkaria that discussed random things with a Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou and Aria-inspired theme. So everyone would pretend to be very calm, friendly, and always drinking tea. It helped me to forget everything in my life before it went down. It was my favorite chan. I don't remember how I found it. I miss it.
I used to frequent 711chan before it died (it might be back now, but not relevant), 7clams, and back in 2011-12, ponychan (probably still exists but not really relevant anymore).
I don't post on lainchan because too many /g/ refugees showed up there. There is very little good programming discussion.
I used to post on unichan, boxxy imageboard in 2009-2011.
I post on 7chan because of nostalgia still. I remember showing /eh/ to my friends in high school.
I post on 4chan because it's active, but I haven't really been satisfied with it for some years. My favorite board in the early 2010s was /jp/. I liked the desktop threads, OC threads, and fumo stuff. Fumo is probably the only one of those still there.

Nowadays I find it difficult to browse any image board at all. It increasingly annoys me to read about other peoples lifes, their problems, their successes.
I think the reason why I'm annoyed at this point is that I've kind of seen it all. The arguments always repeat, the topics barely vary and there are repeating attitudes towards the same controversial issues.
There is a never ending torrent of users and it is almost hopeless to come to a conclusion. More and more it seems to me that all the posters are really alone trying to express themselves while using the imageboard as a channel. And in reality all the collective similarities and the feeling of sharing certain emotions and lifestyles with others is purely accidental and a projection of ones mind. However I'm aware that this is my personal impression and it's relatively new to me as well.
Also I think I'm simply getting older and my need for direct and verbal affection is getting stronger. I have stopped searching for answers and overthinking everything. My time on the internet is shrinking and I like to be in nature or do something practical a lot more now.

>>1810I used to like crystal cafe but I'm trans and, even though I personally would never make a point of mentioning it, whenever other transgirls would mention it (which is admittedly stupid on a girls only site) and get shat on or banned it started to make me feel unwelcome.

TC for hikki talk, Samachan for anime, and here for general.
I like TC probably the most of the three, though the community can occasionally put me in a bad mood. Samachan seems to be pretty good, the discussion and posts are entertaining for an anime imageboard, not sure how I feel about a female admin though.
Sushi is great and I've been using it since itamae was the admin, but I rarely post.

No.1875
>>1874No, that is not just the way things are. That's you trying to prop up your preconceived notions with further preconceived notions of what the general population thinks.
Beyond that, you shouldn't be attempting to justify your behavior by comparing it to popular opinion, much less your uninformed idea of popular opinion. Even if everyone in the world was stacking the same totems about women as you, they'd still be just as wrong.

As for what I personally like, I don't think just one board will do. The thing I liked about 4chan is that sometimes people would talk about places and things all over the internet that I'd never heard of before, like the crossroads of the internet. That's the sort of thing I like, so right now I'll just keep wandering and lurk on different boards as I go.

I've mainly browsed Kissu.moe ever since the death by moderation of 4chan /qa/. It's sorta 2D/Random, so people are free to make threads about whatever they want. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed, especially thanks to the unspoken rule of "no politics." I guess the best way to describe it is, "post sincere in sincere threads, and funpost in fun threads." Beyond anime stuff and random discussion, there's also a small contingency of metaposting as a hold-over from /qa/; there's a permanent, rolling global imageboard happenings thread, but people also tend to make threads about old and/or interesting websites as well. Speed is definitely a plus too, since it gets ~100 posts per day.
Half-related, but for anyone not aware, 4taba has been back for a while now and is actually under the ownership of the same person who runs Kissu. They're a bit of an absentee admin as far as 4taba goes since Kissu is their main concern, but I think most of 4taba's users would prefer that over the previous one suddenly deciding to rewrite the site so that it has no javascript…

I'll post what I know.
The first death of lizchan was when the site went unpaid because
Owner of the site enrolled in military and had no way to pay for hosting,at least that's what he wrote some time later.
He told nobody about this.
The other admins/mods received the date of last hosting days from hosting service.
One of them made a copy of site on .xyz domain.
That reminded me that few lizzies including me wrote about being able to donate, admin said that there is no need atmSome time later the owner/creator of lizchan(the soldierliz) wanted to regain ownership/admin.
^I'm not sure which one that was if someone could correct me that would be great.
If I remember correctly creator was still in in military so he couldn't pay on time(?).
So the burden of paying was on liz that resurrected site but he didn't expect to be the one paying for such a long time.
Motivated enough to mirror a site but not enough to ask for donations, what the fuck.

Ever since sama went down you could still access to some files if you had the link, like webms or music and around 12 hours ago there was a brief moment where the message was gone and /z/ was still accessible, being able to post a couple of times. Took this screenshot just before a few people noticed too and posted for the last time so it pretty much shows what the latest posts were before it went down.
Now every link redirects to the death message and you can't access anything else so it is effectively dead. See you around frens.

Sometimes it's better to "walk off the stage making people remember good memories only", but Samachan was pretty active… so it ideally should have been handed over to someone competent (if there was such a person).
