Hello Sushis!

Currently our domain name is sushigirl.us. However, the new owner Bal lives outside of the United States, so it will not be possible to transfer him the .us domain name when the handover happens. I will instead forward sushigirl.us to a new primary domain owned by Bal.

Unfortunately I have not been able to contact Itamae to transfer the old sushigirl.tokyo, but I have purchased three alternate domain names for us to choose from.

Help me decide! What should our new primary domain name be?

The options:
* Sushigirl.net
* Sushigirl.moe
* Sushigirl.cafe

Hello everyone.

I've been here an awfully long time, haven't I? A very, very long time. I first inherited Uboachan way back in 2011, 14 years ago now, and I began carrying forward Sushichan a few years after that. And it's been fun. I got to befriend and even meet some of you. Some became IRL friends. I even dated a few of my imageboard users. If it weren't for these imageboards, I am really not sure where my life would be right now.

But, over time, I changed, as people do. I am a very different person than when I started out here. Very different. And so, it's been kind of hard for me actually, to keep the act going for this long. In a lot of ways I don't really see eye-to-eye with my userbase the way I did in the past. And though I still love visiting, and my position is kind of flattering, I have had the nagging feeling for a long time now that I am not really the right person for the job anymore.

No, I am not really the kind of person anymore, who ought to be running an imageboard. As much as I love these sites and want them to survive, being the owner of two imageboards is in some ways a burden on my current persona. It feels like I have to split myself down the middle, to keep running these sites. And with the way things are going in the world, and in my personal life, I am about to have other problems to worry about.

So, I am passing the torch on Uboachan and Sushichan, just as they came to me in the past. The sites will live on, but I will not be at the helm. That role will go to long-time friend and board user Balthasar, also known as Seagal. I really think that he is the best man for the job. In the coming months, I will be transferring everything to another server under his control. I will stay on as a user and tech consultant, hanging out now and then, and helping with backend issues as Seagal gets the feel of things. And, as the boards' owner, I will retire and move on to other things.

It has been an honor. Thanks for everything.

According to several users, the website has been recently deteriorating and the quality of the additions has been starkly declining. An user has also expressed frustrations with uncertainty on particular topics and the width of allowed content in certain rooms.

Do you believe this to be true? If so, do you think anything could be done about it? Is the current state the bare consequence of external factors or the medium itself or is the problem something internal?

it's not like it really makes a difference or anything, but is there any reason the audio on the main page comes from an embedded youtube video rather than just an uploaded file? i guess it works either way

the IRC is down. it doesnt seem to work at all.

thank you for your hardwork sei

please change deleted image thumbnail to something more in line with site's theme

ADMIN EDIT: Please submit your original deleted image thumbnail art here for staff's consideration.

What the hell happened to this thread???

back in the day i was a heavy 4chan user, maybe around 2009 or so. I was younger and dumber but I miss that environment. The image board culture is one I miss and wish I could immerse myself in again.

I browse sushigirls occasionally but honestly I can't quite nail down if I am "welcome" here.

I'm a smelly commie, I'm a trans woman, im a furry piece of shit, and frankly I can't tell if this board is a "we're all bigots but want a good face so we dont let each other talk about it" or a genuinely safe place with a few hateful weirdos sprinkled in as a minority.

where exactly does this website fall on the "these people want me dead" scale? i love the environment but I cant tell if sticking around here would require me to accept that the people im talking to want me to die or not.
