Image Boards: Difference between revisions

{{examples|Notable Imageboards (''every'' link below should be considered NSFW unless specifically mentioned otherwise):}}

* The aforementioned [http://www.2chan.net/ Futaba Channel].

** '''/b/ (random)''' is not all of 4chan, everyone just thinks it is. There are no real rules in /b/, so people are free to post whatever non-criminal material they want. In practice, that means a lot of porn, pictures, and discussions that can only be defined as, well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|random]]. Notably, it can have, and undoubtedly has had, ''every single one'' of the other boards' topics discussed on it, with the main difference being that the words "nigger" and "faggot" are thrown around with even greater frequency.

** '''/tg/ ([[Tabletop Games|traditional games]])''' is very...creative. The fa/tg/uys can bring out some amazing stuff on some days (Like creating ENTIRE FRICKIN' GAMES DOWN TO THE CRUNCH, [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/12936417/ a computer made out of zombies] or at least [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/5315595/ truly epic paladin vs. lich rap battles]), but on others... They used to have a saying: "/tg/= /d/ lite", but it's not really evident now moderation for the board was tightened. Known for having an unusual quantity of [[Knight in Shining Armor|Knights In Shining Armor]], with a weird [[Chivalrous Pervert]] atmosphere. Being full of raging [[Warhammer 40,000|40k]] fanatics, too much non-comedic porn at once (or any furry porn) receives an immediate backlash consisting of shouts of [[Inquisitor|HERESY!]] which get the thread back on topic. /tg/ is also home to a surprising amount of writers - or writefags, to use the 4chan parlance. Works range from [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/4974541/ Pulp Fiction rewritten with Orks] to [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/6117607/ slice of life stories about /tg/'s original characters] to [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/7078929/ completely fluffed-out campaign settings.] The usual assortment of 40k fanfic makes its way around, though [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/6139303/ in somewhat higher quality], and /tg/ can even take the universe's [[Nana's Everyday Life|most depressing manga]], fuse it with [[Team Fortress 2|something completely different]], and come up with... well... [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/9004046/ just] [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|read it.]] Two more chapters are posted [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6114528/2/ here].

* [http://tf2chan.net/ TF2chan], devoted to ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' fans. Mostly noted for the massive amounts of shipping and porn.

* Another British Image Board is [http://www.b3ta.com/ B3TA], which in addition to message boards, also has weekly or so Image Challenges, quizzes, movies and games. While the vast majority of the userbase are okay folks and the image challenges bring out funny images, the site is NSFW, and don't forget to bring your brain bleach.

* [http://www.imageboard4free.com/board/miserychan/ Miserychan]{{Dead link}}, dedicated to ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''

* [http://www.plus4chan.org plus4chan], originally started as an offshoot of 4chan prime's /co/ (Comics and Cartoons) board, has since grown into its own standalone site with a very tight-knit userbase. Much of the content is still /co/ related, but there are also boards about anime, video games, cooking, music and television, and {Homestuck}, among others.

* [http://www.711chan.org/ 711chan], an alternative to 420chan and 7chan.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130921231645/https://99chan.org/ 99chan]. Elitist as hell, and damn proud of it. 99chan is even slower than 420chan, but has a huge variety of boards. Expect to be banned if you post demotivators, memes, or if the many mods are feeling bored. Most of the humor on the site revolves around inside jokes and self-deprecation. Practically everything is decided on the IRC (better known as the "circlejerk"), which is self-admittedly populated entirely with pseudo-intellectual gay Canadian alcoholics. Tends to have a "sekrit club" mentality, so if your post smells even ''faintly'' of 4chan, expect to be banned.

* "[http://bbw-chan.net/ bbw-chan], home to the [[Big Beautiful Man|big]] and [[Big Beautiful Woman|beautiful]]." Also, they've [[Hermaphrodite|got]] [[Amazonian Beauty|other]] [[Buxom Is Better|kinks]] as [[Balloon Belly|well]]... thankfully, [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|on separate subforums]].

* AnonTalk, an illegal Swedish imageboard. It started off as a lolicon imageboard, created by Kimmo Alm after he was banned from 4chan for posting lolicon, but eventually went on to include ''actual'' pedophilia. It is also used as a base for planning DDoS attacks on 4chan. Despite the name, the board software it uses actually makes posters very easy to track, and 4channers have even gotten hold of Alm's home address and other personal information. But despite many attempts to report Alm and his board to the authorities, nothing has been done. The board is currently{{when}} down, but only because Alm closed it himself as he's planning to update it. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130509053249/http://ohinternet.com/AnonTalk Here is an article on it.]

* [http://www.myconfinedspace.com/ my<nowiki>[</nowiki>confined<nowiki>]</nowiki>space] is a small, intimate imageboard with a semi-moderated feed of interesting pics that range from SF/F-themed wallpapers to SFW photos of pretty girls to political memes. It also supports video embeds, and these will range from trailers for upcoming films to the amusingly weird and unusual. At one point it had considerable [[NSFW]] content, mostly hidden behind extra links, but as of early 2016 this seems to have been dropped.
