How did you find this place?
1 Name: Anonymous : 2019-03-28 22:32
To me, I only stumbled on here because of a long rabbit hole beginning with some 4chan thread about sageru. Intentionally googling for this place turns no results. It seems like the only way to end up here is through rumours on other boards and ancient nearly dead links from 10 years ago.
2 Name: Anonymous : 2019-03-28 23:38
I think I got here when I went searching for quiet image/textboards. Probably found the link on an archived chan thread, or maybe an old reddit discussion.

A while ago I was on a trip through a bunch of different imageboards and textboards. I had gotten fed up with 4chan and 8chan and, through /g/, I had found lainchan. Then through lainchan, I found other boards and had just expanded from there. I'm happy to have found so many of these small communities; it's much nicer than 4/8chan though I still use them due to frequency of posts. Though I might soon quit spending so much time on imageboards so that frequency doesn't become a requirement.

Hey, are you that guy off of /qa/ who visited sageru's #jp a while back? If so, nice to see you still around!

It used to be the YKK board.

It was just blue, wasn't it?
I wish I had taken a screenshot back then.

I'm sure that was a typo, but it conveys your meaning so clearly.

there was a google document made a long time ago that I found while searching for new boards a couple months ago. This was one of the only ones which had had any bumps in the previous month, so I stuck around.

Yeah, this seems to be one of the most active text boards still around. Good thing it's also the best one!

They also have a minecraft server, spigot.chakai.org. Currently building a sky rail across it.

I mean I guess I could see wanting to keep it a tight-knit community, but that still seems a bit odd to me.
27 Name: Anonymous : 2019-05-04 13:51
>>26Yeah that's why I posted
>>24It's pretty dead for an online community standards, it's already a circle jerk, they don't want any new members and with all this there's no need to host a public site anymore, especially when it's not even accessible for the most time of the day. Why not just make a discord then? Sounds like elitism to me.

>>27What sites would be not dead by internet community standards then? Most of the places I’ve been to have much less posting traffic than that.

/tea/ is pretty well known at this point. I mean you guys are saying the actual URL which you just don't do out of respect. It's like you're unfamiliar with /jp/ spinoffs. Oh well, it's unishitters anyways. What has happened with /qa/ and that list of IBs is still unfortunate. The maker regrets it at least.

something about /qa/
List of IBs?
I’m confused, what went down with /qa/ and the maker? What is a unishitter?

For arrogant elitists? No. All the /jp/ spinnoffs can crash with no survivors for all I care.

Then we have a very different definition of "regular people" then.

I just finished my first two hour window with them. They seemed fine to me. Just your usual anime posters talking about their current happenings. I will be returning to them regularly in the mornings while working since it seems like a nice way to distract myself. I don't have anyone in mind that likes all these slow-paced places like Post Office or /tea/, for better or for worse.

i have a text file with a seemingly random string of letters as the name and it's a gigantic list of image boards. this one was one it. i'm not entirely sure where it came from as i'm prone to manic bouts of archiving and rabbit holes online. nice place, this one.

I don't remember how I did exactly, I always have a hard time recalling why I did something, but I found lainchan and found their "post other imageboards". Some one posted sushichan and I found this site from there. My reason for clicking all those links is that I like obscure stuff and lainchan was nice, but you couldn't post comfy things on it.

I have at least 50 thousand bookmarks, and that's a very conservative estimate; I suspect the actual number is closer to 140 thousand. And this estimate excludes the 50 or so thousand bookmarks on my old broken computer. How do I stop saving useless bullshit?

Marginalia search engine too, searching "Fountain pen" to test the results, it gave me the link to the related thread on this site.
73 Name: Anonymous : 2022-01-12 04:30
Just looked at this Marginalia you guys are talking about.
This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed.
That's an instant bookmark for me.
