I am having problems understanding what some 2ch boards are. Please help me understand them.
What is 光通信 for? My dictionary says it means "light-wave communication", sending information with lasers. But that does not seem to be what people discuss on the board. Can anyone define this for me?
Hikarituusin is a name of company.

Please consider working on the Wikipedia entry!

bad idea ... it is hard work for me.
Hikarituusin is only a name of company.
but that board is now used for talking about telecom industry.

I understand now. I thought it might be about telecom and not just laser signalling. I didn't know it was a company. Thank you!!!
Next to find a translation. I think I will use "Telecommunications", although it would be funny to say "Sprint".

When I finish most of the work on the navi it'll be online (watch for announcements on 4-ch) and you can use the translations from it.
I can't understand 資格全般. I get 'general capabilities', which doesn't make very much sense in English.
What is ピュアAU? A brand name?
>>8
I think I figured it out. The board is for high quality audio equipment. In English, maybe "Stereophile".

資格全般 means like "anything about license"
license like lawyer, certified public accountant, system administrator, oracle master, bookkeeping, etc, anything will do.
The navi is now online. Feel free to offer translations for anything that is missing. If you let your mouse pointer rest over a link it should pop up the Japanese name of a board (HTML title property of an anchor).
or just http://4-ch.net/2chportal/

Indeed.
The vocabulary list there is quite nice.
In the section 裏社会 the first 板 is called ちくり裏事情. I can't understand this at all. Some sort of reverse situation? The link is called "company", which doesn't help me understand. Can anyone explain this?
I hope you know about http://info.2ch.net/guide/map.html
