A few months ago I was talking about altchans on /a/ and realized a big stumbling block for people is that the lists of sites that get posted around contain too many sites with not enough details and people tend to give up after the fifth or sixth utterly dead/meme shitposting site they click through. I'm hitting myself for being lazy and not making a better guide before this, but with 4chan still down I imagine it would still be good to have something easy to pass around to help the flood of refugees as we approach the weekend.
I tried to cover the issues I've seen people be most interested in across the various 4chan down threads. Activity, especially in regards to specific hobbies, is probably the biggest, but a familiar UI, easy browsing of different boards/sites, and file support have all come up. I focused mostly on relevant topics to the /a/jp/ sphere here since that's what I'm more familiar with, but I'm open to suggestions on what to put in here. I think zzz, 8, 7, and sushi could fit on here too for vidya and broader topic selections. Please correct me if anything is wrong, a fair bit has to be derived from cursory inspection.
Regarding activity levels, I'm imagining 4chan as the 10/10 max level for everything so it's kind of a log scale so everything else isn't all a 1 in comparison. Basically, green means there's fresh discussion of a topic multiple times a day, yellow means once every day or three something gets kicked up about it, and red means it still lacks the critical mass to maintain regular discussion.

I think he modified his own page but it's a good starting point... I'm looking through the happenings archives to find the year it took place and which post numbers it started.
>>147034idk. it's just weird. That's the main thing about it. The 4chan team let him in when they should have been able to vet that he'd the left/righthand man of a notorious imageboard sociopath

well, the word filter prevented it, but you can just search his name and find the article

>>1448064chan might get rid of PDF's since that's what got the hacker into the site in the first place.
Or they'll finally update it. But be weary of PDF's.

Also neat site. Haven't been here in years but it looks pretty chill.

>>147094You have to do a lot of reading between the lines because the person who was faulted didn't write his side of the story and it's only known verbally through a smaller group of people who were communicating on IRC, other imageboards and in the happenings thread.

No.147162
I like the banksoft emojis and they seem okay for messaging friends, but they are harmful to imageboards. Every imageboard I know of that added emotes just got less pictures and emotes all over the place. It feels like it goes against the purpose of imageboards.

>>147162It's fine if you want the site to be a 4chan April Fools funposting fest all the time, but I feel like it cuts off serious discussion and I hate seeing an IB that looks like an IM log. Wap seems to be going through a transformative stage now trying to actively respond to the refugees, though, so we'll have to wait and see what it ends up looking like once the dust has settled.

>>147367I was thinking you could add a file size line too, a lot of anons seem to be surprised(?) at the larger file size limits on alternative sites.
Also, kissu has a captcha that activates when "flood is detected".

>>148039/a/ is a new board created in response to the 4chan downtime, it only had the sticky post when I first went there. I'm trying to exclude refugees until it becomes clear they're going to stay there.
/rozen/ is too specific to consider an "anime discussion board."

No.148540
I think the spin offs tend suck because they tend get spun off after the source board has gone to shit for years, they end up preserving not the culture of a few years ago but the already colored culture of the decline.
The better IB's of the past were mostly original boards filling a niche 4chan never had, not angrily trying to preserve invasions/lolishota/anime elitism/Ron Paul/etc after their heydey was already gone.

Wapchan split off their /jp/ type posts from /vnt/ into a new board (/djn/ - Doujin Culture).
