/imgbc/ - Imageboard Culture

I know right there's nothing wrong with tripcodes.

Identity is so relevant to most conversations it's a wonder anyone chooses to be anonymous at all

>>393

>I know right there's nothing wrong with tripcodes.

Tripcodes, to many, are a spit in the face of anonymous culture. It is claiming an identity and history without merit. It is unwarranted self importance.

On /tg/ we don't mind name/tripfagging much because often times it's someone who has earned it. Someone who is making something or is well versed. Else-wise its a resident troll who is courteous enough to make filtering easy.

Other boards, those ingrained in chan culture proper, often only have two reasons to use trips. Confirming authenticity of source, or being a massive attention whore. Why the fuck should I care who you are? What makes your posts so much more important that they should be linked back to all the others from your person? You're doing yourself a disservice, as anyone who reads your post will know it was from your character and not anybody.

I'm not sure about you but I, and other anons I've seen comment on anon culture, ignore tripfags out of habit.

>>394 then they would be retarded newfags.

Post content, not identity, you fucking retards

I swear that's why gamergays are such a failure, they're all newfaggots like that.

anyway, due to the fact the fastest horsefucker board here only has like 6000 posts, ponychan was full of cancer at the time, and 4/mlp/ is still compromised by Scruffy, all the commies lit off and built their own chan.

The only cancer you'll find here is sometimes russian newfags post nothing but pics from joyreactor which, like all faggory daggory russian sites spits its watermark all over the image even in the fucking EXIF

>>236 All the most cancerous tripfaggots have left for ponyville.us which is like DeviantTart in chan form.

They even get namefags that work on the show popping in from time to time, since it's nigh-impossible to ruse.

So many people name/tripfag that anonymous itself could technically count as a name. And no one ever changes, even as a joke, so they may as well be registered accounts.

>>274 Don't be such a fucking pussy faggot, get on the rabb.it and bunny hop'em into hell

Also onechan is still up but got taken over by a jew that loves his clickbux ads, so I'll spare everyone the aggravation of linking their new digs. It's similar to 5chan-ru in that you get "wait 5 seconds" ads for each and every image

What a massive failboat. It's basically anonib minus board creation.

https://ponyach-ru damn, I guess 5chan made everyone afraid of -ru domains around here

I've got some screencaps of kraut and russian history from /tg/, will post when I get home

>>414

I really wished I'd noticed how fucked up my screen caps were. Have a specific app for it now, but shit. Not much missing if memory serves.

How's that Chilean imageboard Nido(.org) going?

I've always liked it despite it being slow. It had some nice things that other chans didn't have, though they usually don't last. For example, I remember them running their own torrent tracker before installgentoo and /mu/tracker were created.

I guess the comments about their elitism are coming from ultra-newfags, and I can sympathize with the 7channers in that regard. I wrote this in the same vein for a /cow/ thread on /pol/:

>Imagine you're at the movies with your friends. You have some in-jokes and you rib each other for fun. Then, someone approaches your group with the Encyclopedia Yourfriendsica. He has studied the banter. He pretends that he's been one of your friends all along, using your in-jokes–often incorrectly. When someone makes a joke in a weird way, he corrects him with the textbook definition of your in-joke.

>Eventually, more of them join your group. Eventually, your friends leave, and the group becomes a group of people impersonating your group of friends. The cycle continues indefinitely until the theater goes out of business.

I'm guessing that a relatively small group of people have stuck with them over the last nine years or so. A new, active user that nobody recognizes must stand out as much as a tripfag would to them.

the site has way too many boards for how (in)active the userbase is (see: 4-ch)

some serious merging might possibly bring it back up to speed

With all of the giant drama over Infinity-next and the switch from Vichan, I'm honestly quite worried if regular users on 8ch will eventually bleed out and run off to one of the many offshoots being advertised.

>>409

I'm already posting on endchan. They have a spirit and some damn good symbology. Omega symbol, black anon, and their tarot card is The World.

As hosts upgraded their defenses it has become largely irrelevant. I can see why.

>>357

It's still important from a historical perspective.

Was that even good ddos software?

>>405

It wasn't anything special or innovative, but it worked well.

/hover/

Its a small board right now and might be one of the slowest active boards but it has a lot of potential.

>>400

Nice work anon.

>>400

Noice, almost the same style.

I love you.

That has been one of my main sources in chanthropology. I'd just like to say your efforts are appreciated by at least one anon.

File is no longer available.

>>215

I wonder if there are any good places on the darknet.

>>215

We have unlisted boards here. The greatest thing about fullchan is that one may revel in the protection of obscurity. Like nobody but us curious folk would ever find /longcat/.

>>88

I know that feel bro.

Some based motherfucker mirrored the entire site here: http://bibanon.org/everything-shii-knows/

what is the difference?

>>386

For starters, there's a overdose of elitism and less off-topic threads.

I'd also say "less shitposting" but then there's the legendary copypasta that they spill every now and then.

Are you really a Sweddish autist with a boner for spambots?

Any comments on the death of textboards?

>>>/cow/

cow as a community has been around since like 2008 or 2009

It started out as krapple Komputer Kompany or something like that. Then it became /cwc/ on 789 devoted to Chris chan. It also became a big lolcow discussion board. It moved to 888chan. Then to N0chan and finally 8chan. A lot of the original members have stuck around. They have their own unique culture full of inside jokes etc.

It's empty?

>>327

Or a project we all care enough to participate in.

>>328

We could always just set up a history timeline of the chans with the start dates of chans and important happenings, we could even get /newspaper/ to help

>>342

I always wanted to do something like that, but also to track the flow of users. Sometimes I hear about these small chans and I just wonder where did the people from? Are they from a board that got deleted on 7chan? or are they ancient remnants of the numerous channology chans?

I was somewhat inspired by the history of the /cow/ userbase which has migrated 6 or 7 times.

>>342

My favorite part of chan culture is how much it reflects real life. All of these 'tribes' were born, merged, split, worship gods (wade davis, that cam chick, B.G.), and go to war. Luckily, unlike irl, all of this information is still attainable, if by a hefty effort.

Check out stuff from the guy who kickstarted 'a history of the empires of EVE'. He has faced similar problems of individual's memory and digital degradation as sites and archives go dark. You might find a trick or two to this archenetology.

I think I found this on /newspaper/. Best foundation. Been reading it on breaks at work, keep expecting (lacuna) to pop up. http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=3&nv=1&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=de&tl=en&u=http://per.vyrd.net/of/4chan%2520-%2520Summary%25201.4.1.docx&usg=ALkJrhiSa6U1SdyoX5P3YBM24rNu_ciV4Q

I agree on the chan timeline.
