Oldfag otaku culture boards are dropping like flies. It won't be long before moot deletes world4ch.

I'm new here, what's going on?

>>10325190
What the fuck, I can't believe all of these are dead.

>>10325190
And nothing of value post-2010 or so was lost

A lot of their boards were broken anyway. And a lot of the ones that weren't were useless.

The only board that was a part of that network that mattered was poosh (which is still up), and they are to /jp/ what /vg/ is to /v/.

Oh fuck wasei shit.

whata fuck man,

>>10325205
There are/were some really nice niche boards. Fortunately, some are on other domains/servers and still alive:

http://www.wakachan.org/yuu/wakaba.html
http://www.wakachan.org/elf/wakaba.html
http://shanachan.org/mgn/wakaba.html
http://secchan.net/sword/wakaba.html

Best boards.

>>10325245
/c/-type imagedump boards aren't really my thing.
I do like the net character one though.

ABe board is dead:

RIP ABe board.

>>10325256
They are good ways to find images and artists with a theme, not that all image boards should be boorus or anything.

I like 4-ch for discussion, but it moves really slowly.

>>10325264
I'll tend to make a few posts there and then forget they ever happened after the topic is dry for days on end afterwards. I do wish it moved faster.

>>10325190

I liked their /a/. I'll miss Sling's image dumping. Sad.

>>10325245
>Best boards
Those aren't /azu/

>>10325398
/azu/ is literally the best imageboard on the internet though, it's tough to compare

It makes me really sad to see dying or dead websites.

The consolidation of the internet sucks.

I'm sure that won't happen. He still hasn't given us our /jp/ textboard that he promised us when CYOA threads got banned yet.

>>10325454
He meant an RP textboard.

I have fond memories of days long past like everybody else, but it's pretty pathetic how desperately some of those boards were clinging to the past. Trying to keep them alive has been a charade for the past few years, and this outcome was inevitable.

I'm fine with just world4ch these days. Unlike the other boards, it is relatively active and continues to advance and innovate its absurd culture, rather than reposting 2ch memes from the early 00s again and again.

What do you mean? They've all been pretty much the same since they were made. In fact, that's one of the things I like about them--there was no pining for the past. The only exception is 4-ch, where Tokiko made a thread about how the DQN board had gone downhill. People promptly pointed out that it had not changed and he not been around all that long to begin with, then went back to their panda threads.

>>10325607
When the future has become the present and you're doing what you did in the past, that's "clinging" in my opinion. It's stagnant rather than nostalgic, but it's still no good for a board. Most people got tired of it and moved on.

>>10325631
Well, I like the status quo. I very much hate change.

What sort of thing would you want, exactly? New memes, new users, new topics?

RIP iichaneru

You were one of the first imageboards I discovered in 2005 that forever opened me up to unknown pleasures and corrupted my fragile little virgin mind.

RIP in peace ;_;

>>10325638
There's no sense in drawing up a list of demands like that. Imageboard culture just needs to "happen." It stops working for me when it becomes beholden to any sort of tradition. Could you imagine what this site would look like if we were still posting Jolly Nubian and Grinman everywhere in 2013?

>>10325646
Are you Russian?

>>10325190
Farewell, friends.

>>10325656
I have no problem with new memes. A lot of people here seem to hate them ("How dare you say 'that feel'!") but 4chan is always going to have catchphrases and image macros and snowclones, even outside of /b/. That's 4chan.
4-ch is a little different. It's not that new things don't happen, because they do (the Elitist Superstructure is a 4-ch thing and I found it funny) but there isn't really anything that needs to be added. You draw some SJIS art or use a kaomoji in ASCII or DQN, maybe it catches on, neat. Otherwise, discussion revolves around topics, and there are always new (and old) topics to be discussed.

Both systems are fine. I agree that there are message boards where people are stupid and insist everything has to be exactly as it was years ago (/jp/, for instance) but overall I don't think any of the sites mentioned ITT are like that.

Pour one out for my fallen homeboys niqqa I'll sing about you when you gone

>http://sovietrussia.org/

Is probably the reason. Blame pedo spambots.

Is desuchan still alive?

>>10325814
Yes and it's still the same as always.

What boards did Neo browse?

>>10325259
Oh god no. I remember having a pretty interesting discussion with a 50-something year old man about Haibane Renmei interpretations there. It's been months since I haven't checked it...

>>10325158
What would I do without you, Derek?

>>10325198
This happened to iichan

>>10325831
It's been down for months.

>>10325190
Sovietrussia's gone? Fuck... I really liked their /m/.

What old imageboards are still alive?

>>10325820
good old desuchan.
how can you hate a place that never changes.

>>10326539
4chan

The entire western imageboard culture is falling apart. Soon it will be nothing but spinoffs run by /b/tards who grew too old for the mindless sillyness. Hopefully 7chan and 711chan will die next.

>>10326620
But where will we go?

>>10326632
You should have been learning Japanese to be prepared.

>>10326746

>>10326746
Is the Lain who keeps posting on /jp/ the same Lain?

Maybe it's because I only ever visited the circles board, but I didn't think sovietrussia.org had that many posters.

>>10326782
>circles board
I remember that board, if only because of the picture of a loli with a hoop someone posted there. I'm pretty sure it was one of the slower boards.
/a/ has a fair bit of activity, though most of that is one person I guess.
