【2:2】 World2ch Office of Historical Preservation

1 Name: Historian : 2025/04/23 01:15

If you are a unfamiliar with world2ch, I recommend reading a bit of: https://w2ch.14get.helioho.st/wiki/world2ch.net.html

I find it quite amazing that there was an organized meet-up at a convention so early into world2ch's creation, and users of world2ch had made fan ware of the site. I would like to see what they looked like.
Any historical documentations you provide(nothing obviously available, obviously) will be appreciated by readers like me ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

【3:11】 Israeli woman gang-raped in India

1 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/18 19:45

an Israeli woman was gang-raped in India. Why the fuck do women still travel to that shithole country? If you're a woman travelling to India, you are fucking insane.

I'd vote for your resume if I could, but I'm not a cardinal.

Why do only cardinals get to elect? Why not the sparrows and finches?

It was because of those damn magpies in 1059.

If the blue jays hadn't taken berdlin in 974 and the owl skism of 1021 never happened then the magpies would have never made it into the history books.

【6:18】 4chan's death

■ ▲ ▼

1 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/20 01:25

I'm curious what moot is thinking right now. Assuming this is the end for 4chan, it would be weird to see your creation finally die, that everyone knows you for and your only contribution to the world that has also been around for most of your life.

It serves him right. He should have known that he would have never overcome world2ch. We went down early back in '04 but now we beam triumphantly in the end!

Those who cross our great japanese-english hybrid bbs never prosper! Worudo2channeru wo banzai!

9 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/21 00:09

I'm a rapefugee oldfag, and I've been having a great time since 4chan went down, visiting all the other chans and being reminded of what 4chan used to be like. Here's what I don't miss from modern 4chan:
- The resident schizos on some boards, like barneyfag, or barry
- Shit janitors who ban for the smallest thing
- Auto-detection and deletion of ancient copypastas
- An owner who doesn't interact with the community, ever
- Highly restrictive upload file sizes
- Audio not allowed in uploaded videos on most boards

10 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/21 00:09

>>6
I am curious why others are leaning on it being down for good. I don't have that sort of hope, despite the evident flaws.

>>9
Look man, the highly restrictive upload file sizes are a result of bandwidth and hard drive space. I don't have the ODT right now, but I calculated an event where I increased it to 10 megabytes and the site's required storage ballooned to something ridiculous. I think it was 2 petabytes. That's also a ridiculous amount of content to deliver, ESPECIALLY since 4chan hasn't made a single dime since the 2000s.
I agree that they are restrictive, but only certain boards should receive an increase in light of that fact(hr of all boards definitely should)

Things I personally didn't like that weren't listed (I agree with most of them)
- The complete lack of moderation on certain boards like /vp/
- The absolute state of /b/
- webms (it's not a VIDEO board, damn it)
- The lack of OC for /f/ (I'm partially responsible for never posting anything)
- 50%+ of traffic coming from Israel

11 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/21 02:12

>>6
If you look at the wider public reaction I think you see a lot of aspiration that this really will be the ultiamte death for the site, and just like Twitter screenshots, that bleeds back into 4chan's userbase. Exactly as you say, though, it has pretty much always teetered on death. The scale of this event seems pretty hard to recover from but I think some of the resiliency that has always been on staff to keep the site alive is still hanging around, based on the leaked comms and IRC.

>>9
Have any of the altchans in particular stood out to you? So far I'm finding a lot of the activity is centered around otaku culture and anime, so it feels you're spoiled for choice if you were an /a/ or /jp/ regular, but I'm not seeing much else except the litter of boards on 8chan. I had a bookmarks folder of altchans prior to this and I'd say the majority have remained mostly dead, with a few winners emerging like kissu and smugloli.

12 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/21 02:43

world2ch and 2ch-like BBSs like it beat all the others with their simplicity and relation to 2ch. All of the others (imageboards mostly, like the ones you listed) sacrifice quality posts and users for the sake of "better" software and activity. Conformists!

13 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/21 02:44

I said "like" twice I'm an idiot take me to the gallows

14 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/21 06:22

i've been exploring textboards as a result, it's been a long time.

>>9
>>10
just look at 8chan to see what happens when there's no fucking limit to what you can upload. that shit is never staying up unless they figure out some very clever way to store all this (P2P? maybe?)
>webms (it's not a VIDEO board, damn it)
iirc they were just meant to be better gifs.

15 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/21 08:16

I mean that WAS the intention of introducing webms. Still doesn't make it right to me. It also doesn't help that they introduced mp4 later. It's a damn shame that browser plugins are dead, because we could've deferred to some other, much better format for this. Instead, we're stick to the whims of the damn browser programmers who struggle to understand STRING ALLOCATION, let alone actually implementing good alternatives.

Oh yeah, I have access to my tables now! Currently, 4chan needs approximately 4.17 petabytes of storage to store every single image(my table fails to account for the archives, because at the time I couldn't figure out how many archived threads could exist at the time, and it also doesn't account for /j/ for obvious reasons.) Bringing every board to the same level as /f/(which has the highest file size of 10 megabytes) would mean that 4chan needs 9.02 petabytes of storage. That's approximately a 216% increase in storage required to host just the catalogs of all 78 boards.

16 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/21 08:24

Sorry I think I fucked up my math, that's PROBABLY supposed to be 116%.
To give you an idea of how ridiculous of an increase that is, from 2016->January 2025 was only a 75% increase, and that's with a change of 7 boards.
Here's the sheet if you want to fuck with the numbers yourself.

The users realized it wasn't about the AA or the candy, but the forgiveness of their sins by the sacrifice of Lord Jesus Christ. All the naughty AA they had made and looked at was forgiven, all the naughty anime they had watched. It was a day of peace and celebration at world2ch.

【10:4】 Favorite Videogames?

1 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/19 18:59

What are your guy's favorite videogames? Personally I lean towards strategy games, like Command and Conquer and Advance Wars, and though I don't like VNs that much, Ace Attorney is up there too.

2 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/19 22:40

Solitaire and touhou. I like bullet hells, but I'm only good at the ones I'm used to

3 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/20 07:22

I play a lot of shumps/danmaku like dodonpachi, mushihimesama and ofc touhou

4 Name: Nameless : 2025/04/20 13:52

I used to only enjoy NES platformers like Mega Man, then stopped playing in favor of wasting time on the internet. I'm planning to join the upcoming Nintendo generation to see if it might be fun to play something more modern but in a similar spirit. In the meantime, I've found fun in trying to get better at Touhou.
