I figured since the threads about the English *chans on the English *chans' own fora usually create drama, flamewars and trolling since the respective community usually gets defensive about "its own site", this could be a good place to talk about them, even though the board is losely associated with WAKAchan.
Don't let that bother you, though. This board and the idea for it have been older than WAKAchan. It won't really matter where you are coming from or if you even want to talk about an English *chan (4chan, iichan, 5chan, fchan, 0chan, etc.) at all or rather about a Japanese, Chinese or Taiwanese *chan, imageboard or whatever. Rational arguments above usernames and community cliques!
This thread should just serve the use to make a few remarks about a particular imageboard site / community, how they relate to each other, what differences, opportunities, etc. there could be, both from a technical standpoint as well as from a "sociological" standpoint, if you want to talk about that. And of course, there's more...
Please try to refrain from trolling this thread too much. Also, please don't pay any trolls herein too much attention, i.e. don't feed them. Let's keep this civil, everyone!
Hello test.
I thought that's an interesting idea, but they forgot to actually moderate the site so it's full of trash now. To the extent that it's full of anything.
And worse, saging in a thread lowers the score. That's not how it works :(
So... am I the only one thinking that 4chan has turned to shit on every board possible? That western memes and reaction faces are less and less funny? That no board will ever become the new active and original place on the anglophone internet?

Everyone has thought this every year since 2005.
It's fun for what it is, you just need to avoid getting too wrapped in it or taking things too seriously.
Adding country flags to 4chan was a dumb idea and ruins anonymity.
Discuss.

I don't think it ruins anonymity; most boards don't have the country flags.
I don't like how the country flags are forced on boards where they are enabled. It would be nice to have a tickbox to select to display a flag or not.
