Really old screenshot of futaba, some interesting boards here (including ニュース速報, copy of a 2ch board)

>>32443697
It hits like a truck realizing that we're just sorry copies of our japanese counterparts

I still do not know what the 二次元ネタ board on Futaba is supposed to be used for.

Wiki mostly dedicated to preserving 2chan OC
https://w.atwiki.jp/2jiwiki/

>>32443826
They have a lot of the same problems we do, but they kick our ass in the OC department no question.

>>32443826
You notice this NOW?

>>32443981
Because OC continues to be frowned upon on a lot of boards on this gods awful site

5ch constantly reminds me that yes, 4chan could be a lot worse

Also timely thread to say futaboard is kill
https://may.2chan.net/b/res/810989724.htm

>>32444178
What?

>>32444200
Small spinoff chan modeled after futaba, announced its closure in December. I'm not sure if it was because of copyright or something but they began purging all images from the website up to its closure this month. Most of the refugees are going to futaba now. The site was administered by the futakuro addon guys as far as I understand (http://futakuro.com/).).

>>32444402
Oh. That's sad to hear.
Hopefully not too much was lost. I don't think I've heard of it until now, but hopefully they all fit in without an issue. The internet is heading to a weird place

>>32444170
And 2chan reminds me it could be a lot less of a headache

>>32444445
It's not as bad as in the West. There are lots of anonymous communities in Japan, and even the smaller ones have dedicated userbases. Check some of these for instance

New dedicated 2chan browser, supports nijiura boards + cats

The newest version fixes a bug in previous editions where the program wouldn't launch. I asked the dev if he knew what might be wrong, and he figured out your system clock had to be set to the Japanese timezone (UTC -5) for it to execute. With the newest version uploaded a few hours ago, it now appears to work in any timezone. It was cool of him to fix this, so check it out.

>>32444110
I've always known this, I just live in blissful ignorance because i occasionally forget it.
Kind of like the game

>>32444565
>http://strangeworld.valuesv.jp/
The interface looks familiar.

I can't be bothered to keep up with Japanese anonymous communities because the only thing that keeps me in Western anonymous communities is the sense of, well, community, and on Japanese boards I just feel like a voyeur rather than a contributor.

>>32445701
I can relate. Most of them don't block foreign IPs though so if your Japanese is good enough you can participate. 5ch is so big you probably wouldn't be noticed anyway

Dumping a board-tan comic between 5ch's kenmo and nanj. For context these are two of their biggest boards and kind of like /b/. I saw someone phrase it like, nanj is for guys around university age up to around 28, and then kenmo is where you go afterward. VIP is the last major /b/ equivalent and it's filled with kids

>I can't access it from my home IP
You should check out the softether VPN client, it's official and has servers hosted at a Japanese university. I've been able to post there with it

I feel honoured that my Higurashi shoop made its way to futaba, and it even became the source of some fetish art.

>>32445433
You did that on purpose, didn't you?

>>32443587
I wanna go to that era

>>32447427
5ch unfortunately does block foreign IPs though

>>32455437
You can post on the english board, like in these threads
https://lavender.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/english/1594650833/l50
Also as I mentioned above the block is very easy to get around. I've done it several times

>>32454285

>>32471012
We noticed when they made up so much of 4chan's traffic moot had to ban Japanese IPs because they were effectively ddosing the site.

I'm surprised there's not more interest in this kind of thing

>>32478780

yeah, but I mean, to that era.

See the memes, see what's trending and how the internet was in that time. I was a kid at the time so I just got to experience this era of the internet.

>>32492539
I wish we knew exactly what caused the foreign IP ban there. I've been told it's almost definitely due to koreans and chinese trying to screw with them rather than something Westerners did but I've never known the exact events that caused it.

they have a board with like 10K posts about bugs

I've seen enough Futaba threads to know that even boards like /v/ and /a/ sometimes make ventures there to bring stuff back
I don't know if any of them actually go here though

I only really ever look at futaba's 2hu shitposting board. I used to look at the livewatch board but it was removed and I stopped watching anime anyway.

>>32519533
Isn't the livewatching board /dec/?

>>32523794

There are some people joking but as a whole you get the idea. 5ch has a huge contingent of people in their 40s (and up) that 4chan doesn't.

I think 4chan does too, just that age isn't talked about much, in Japan it is common to ask people their age or tell people your age.

I'm around 60 for example, I'm sure there are many here even older (although the demographics for the vtuber stuff is probably mostly young, 4chan in general though not so much)

>>32672289
Whenever there's a poll, the userbase of 4chan seems to skew mid-20's pretty much everywhere. Perhaps older people don't talk about their age as openly though

>>32636060
After the most recent Higurashi epsidoe people went to 4chan because the uncensored scenes were posted on /a/ as pictures and webms. Then they also brought back some theorycrafting from 4channel users, and talked a bit about that. Within the 1000 post thread I'd guess something like 50-100 posts were directly about the /a/ Higurashi threads.

On a technical level "Toshiaki" and anon are essentially the same, as would be "Bernd" on KC.

In a web culture sense, anons on the "/a/-sphere" of boards and Futaba anons on their "/a/-sphere" are probably the more similar parallel niche groups for each language.
"/b/-sphere" and "/pol/-sphere" probably have more parallels with similar boards on 5ch. Not saying they're good or bad, but they just cater to more spontaneous, visceral crowd.

Anons on slower boards can be similar or heavily divergent, and there are probably more parallels with subreddits and other forums.

If you remember right when the KyoAni fire news broke, some people on 2chan thought one of their resident schizos might be the cause since he was a crazy train otaku, and someone made a thread shortly before it happened with an OP like "I should be making headlines soon". The thread exploded since a lot of people thought he may be the arsonist, and they probably knew that similar things have happened here. Nothing was confirmed though about that thread, and the resident train otaku guy showed up as usual later so he couldn't be the killer.
Besides that there's more minor stuff, like a guy who posted entire episodes of バンドリ in nijiura dec (I think) through screencaps, making new replies each minute for hours even though no one responded. A guy who makes screenshot threads on may also seems to be nuts, and I saw this in a thread about soba. I seem to find these all the time just by clicking on threads here and there, so I assume their density of these guys is even higher than ours, where we at least have to look a little.

I still don't know how to browse futaba. I mean that's expected since I don't know enough japanese but even with the help of a translator and visiting certain boards every now and then I still get lost. I can't tell what's posted where because every board has similar content on it

>>32878737
Knowing Japanese is half the battle. The other half is knowing the site. It's essentially like 4chan with a few big differences
1) There is no thread pruning based on number of pages, but rather pruning based on speed relative to the rest of the board. For each board an algorithm calculates how quickly it's moving overall and then takes this metric to determine when other threads archive, so the more active your thread is the lower the chance it will archive. The moment when it's currently set to archive is displayed at the bottom of every thread, and updates frequently to reflect the algorithm as the speed of the board and thread changes
2) Moderation is entirely user-driven AFAIK. If you think a thread or post is bad/off-topic, click the del button at the top right corner. If enough people agree, and it hits a quota, it will be 隔離'd (quarantined) where you can link to it but it doesn't show up on the index or catalog. These threads usually die off quickly unless it's a controversial topic like politics, in which case it will probably keep getting replies. If more del requests come in, eventually the thread itself is deleted, but this threshold is pretty high I think. There are no jannies, the only mod is the admin. He's a cool guy. Illegal stuff is forbidden, that's the only true rule.
3) Thread OPs have a lot more freedom. Like on 5ch, they can enable thread IDs to discourage trolling, and enable censored IPs as well. What's more, thread OPs can delete replies to their threads for any reason. It's a very strange system compared to 4chan, but it seems to work for the most part
4) Use a chrome-based browser with the futakuro add-on if you want easy expanding images and a live thread feed like 4chanX. There's also support for ぼうよみちゃん which is fun to try now and then. Streamers actually use this legitimately for threads they host on img I'm pretty sure
5) The best archive now is ftbucket, there's no permanent archival
6) Lurk moar culture is strong, they have no wiki or matome like you get with 4chan and 5ch. Meta threads are super common though so it's easy to learn
Does that help?

I need to get it clear futaba is 2chan or 2ch, or is it the same thing?

>>32881655
2ch = 2channel = 5ch = 5channel
2chan = futaba =/= 2ch

To make things confusing Japanese often refer to 2ch as ２ちゃん. 2chan usually refers to itself as ふたば though so it's fine.

I imagine the sentiment of age being important in Japan is probably due to cultural respect for elders and the idea of people staying within their own age group.

That being said, I have a lot of respect for the older posters here, too. Anybody who got into this site when it began or even afterward who's above the age of 40 is a trooper to have to deal with the cesspool of insanity outside of occasional islands of sanity like this one.

Any of you closet homosexuals know what the "Certainly heresy" meme is about? It's a 10 year old or so japanese meme, to my knowledge.

Whenever I try to download an image, the browser seems to crash?

>>32913619
You get to that point eventually.

really grinding through my japanese in order to post there, they have heaps more OC and less cancerous low-effort spam

>>32882283
Yeah that is pretty sad :(
Why do people not torrent in japan? Or do they?

Medoi is too cute

>>32937767
>newfag doesnt know lol
What?

>>32939560
Piracy is illegal there and is actually punished so I imagine many natives just don't bother lest they want to lose everything over hentai_animatioj.mp4, or maybe some just do what everyone else does and use a VPN + seedbox? I haven't heard of the latter happening though, everyone seems compliant enough to just buy things.

>>32939890
I've heard renting is still very common there, probably a lot of people scared to pirate just rent + rip stuff to their PCs

>>32906713

I know.
I got banned 2 years ago for THE GAME posting.

>2) Moderation is entirely user-driven AFAIK. If you think a thread or post is bad/off-topic, click the del button at the top right corner. If enough people agree, and it hits a quota, it will be 隔離'd (quarantined) where you can link to it but it doesn't show up on the index or catalog. These threads usually die off quickly unless it's a controversial topic like politics, in which case it will probably keep getting replies. If more del requests come in, eventually the thread itself is deleted, but this threshold is pretty high I think. There are no jannies, the only mod is the admin. He's a cool guy. Illegal stuff is forbidden, that's the only true rule.
wow, that sounds genius.
too bad if we implemented that here people would abuse it.

>>32906409
>There's never been such a browser for 4chan
not true people used to use them for catalogs before they were introduced on 4chan but I have forgotten the names of it

Does NicoNico any sort of region-based comment system? I noticed a lot of videos have zero comments when the NicoNico I remember had tons of comments all over every video. Even video descriptions have some comments in them, but I can't see any.

>>32948686
Yeah I'm pretty sure EN has different comments. Nicovideo is a lot less popular these days though, it feels like people only use paid nicolive.

Btw the nicolive app is violating the app stores' rules, you can buy points without using IAP. Luckily thanks to Japanese design it's so hard to use nobody will ever find it.

>Nobody from RH still gets on here now.
Bold of you to assume that everyone in RH somehow became an upstanding member of society just because they stopped linking each other images from the same thread they're all reading.

>>32950719
Yes, most of them are functional members of society and outright state they don't like 4chan. Even at that, the thought that you can't use 4chan and be an upstanding member of society at the same time is retarded.

>>32948497
Still visit?

>>32913660
also still here, though it's been off and on over the years, only follow a very small set of threads across a few boards because everything else is fucking garbage, but i guess that also applies to a lot of the rest of the internet at this point
i'm just a grumpy old internet grandpa now

>>32952890
Do you still visit RH?

>>32952982
yes

>>32953012
Why, when nearly everything they talk about is politics now?

>>32953087
vtubers and cursed technology are not politics

>>32953181
Hence the "nearly". Constantly improving a PC is fun, though.

>>32953087
they're friends i've known for many years, there's been plenty of times they talk about stuff i don't give a shit about, i just don't get involved in those convos

>>32953330
That's understandable.

Is there any P2P service more popular/reliable than PD that Japs use?

>>32948686
Yes, you have to switch to 日本語 to see Japanese comments, along with Japanese user-contributed tags.

>>32937819
Are those bouillon cubes?

>>32939560
>>32939890
The number of people sad about the original nyaa's demise on the nip internet tells a different story.

>>32955578
Yeah, I still get quite a few downloads from nips on torrents I upload to nyaa.

Pretty large SJIS art "dictionary". Some pages may not work, however most work after automatically redirecting.

>>32955259

That makes zero sense.

>>32883224
>>32882283
That's a real shame.

>>32672289
60?!

>>32962192
It makes sense from the perspective that most English users would not understand Japanese, and many Japanese would not understand or simply not want English/foreign comments.
Keep in mind, this system was set up more than a decade ago, when Niconico was actively marketing itself in the "West" (English speaking, USA-implied) and Taiwan. They were trying to actively carve out a different niche for each language.

>>32443981
I really want to go back to when OC was the norm and everyone on this site made fun of places like Reddit that just recycle the same rage faces and the like and use copypasted images and shitty vectors as their main source of "OC". Now everyone here is the same except for some small pockets of creativity that are ridiculed as "cringe" by the kids.

>>32969168
The way I see it there is still plenty of OC, more than most places on the web, but there's also a lot of content to go around fitting for their purposes so the drive to put out content is less than before.

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

>>32483790
internet archive exists

How do I access the eroge board on 5chan?

>>32975793
Ask your parents for approval.

>>32955254
Winny and Share are supposed to have more users but last time I tried them the file retention was really bad.

>>32978679
What if they said no

>>32975793
You need a japanese IP for BBSPink

>>32975092
I love this dumb dog

can you guy explain every boards on futaba for me?

>>32969168
>and everyone on this site made fun of places like Reddit that just recycle the same rage faces and the like and use copypasted images and shitty vectors as their main source of "OC".
The hatred for reddit became almost solely political while 4chan started just copying and recycling memes. Wojak isn't even from here, and everything else is usually a repost from twitter.
>Now everyone here is the same except for some small pockets of creativity that are ridiculed as "cringe" by the kids.
I feel like it was jaded oldfags who hated everything that got big and wasn't theirs anymore, and the newer people adopted the worst aspects of this.

>>32980738
>Wojak isn't even from here
I'd consider wojak a part of Western imageboard culture at large though, starting on Polish imageboards and establishing the neutral "that feel when" template on Krautchan.
But that's probably why it took so long to become a mainstay on 4chan. Krautchan was a more mellow, plain imageboard, and wojak typified the quiet desperation of Bernd. It wasn't until wojak was re-interpreted as a foil to pepe and was flanderized as the universal failure (with pepe as the universal victor) that it became inseparable from 4chan.

wut im sayin man

>>32672289
i’m 16??? anon ojisan... please keep good health from now on

>>32884104
I forgot where this image was and went through multiple threads trying to find it again.

>>32884730
just copy and it should be put into yomichan's clipboard inserter (turn on clipoard monitor in the word search)

Do VPNs work on 2hannel and futaba? Like mullvad japanese servers for example.

ｷﾀ━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!

>>32471012
I remember in 2014 or so some futaba posters were looking through a Kiniro Mosaic thread on /a/ and were translating it. I remember someone posted a picture that said "I'll fuk u up m8" and they translated it as "ボコボコしてやるぞ"

>>32994095
There's at least one 4chan matome blog

I am in the middle of drawing a manga about /jp/ users being turned into fairies but after seeing the state this board is in I don't want it to be about /jp/ anymore, what is the japanese imageboard with the biggest touhou board? I see a bunch, my japanese is below average so once I finish all the chapters I have planned all I'll have to do is translate it to japanese and substitute /jp/ with their board

I still randomly see /jp/ mentioned when I go on Touhou-Ura so it is not a thing that only happened 7 years ago

>>32999796
Adorable

>>32999872
It got mentioned again a few hours ago.
Go see for yourself.

>>33003451
yea I know, a few threads were even made on here if you can tell.

>>33003464
It'll be one to remember.
They're quite fun to read.

>>32986182
I managed to post there once with a nip address from BitDefender.

>>33005588
I did once from a mobile IP about a year ago.
I wish I hadn't done so then.

>>33005679
Why is that?

How are these drawings called/where can I find them?

You can just go on that pawoo account again. Eventually you'll find some other big japanese instances through that if you want to jump ship, not like you'd need to since it's all federated anyway.

>>33012774

Some of them are comical. You'll find a few funny ones if you look hard enough.
