Hey I usually am interested in any/all futaba 2ch type english boards and I didn't notice this one until just recently. Is it new?
Speaking of which, are there any english 2ch style boards I might have missed? Right now I have 4chan.org, worldch, and shii's BBS. Are there any more? Is this the best one in your opinions?
> Is this the best one in your opinions?
Of course!
I believe 4-ch was created about November last year... Not oo sure, though. We should make a wiki entry for 4-ch history soon.
At least for the sites that use Kareha as their software, this could be helpful: http://wakaba.c3.cx/sup/kareha.pl/1111703560
The two main ones are 4-ch and world4ch. 4-ch is the older of the two, although world4ch was more an outgrowth of 4chan's own boards which had been around since October.

Depends on what appeals to you. Quantity (world4ch) or quality (4-ch).
I do like one thing about 4-ch: the site admin takes this place seriously and wants to improve it. World4ch seems to have been left for dead after Shii was forced out (or whatever happened there).
4chan isn't exactly 2ch style, but if you still count that you've got iichan too.
> Quantity (world4ch) or quality (4-ch).
world4ch doesn't really have a higher posting frequency than 4-ch.net, if anything, it's the opposite.
Besides, quality IS a quantity. The old Beatles argument: Would they have been regarded as awesome if they had just made one single album?

Maybe the boards I visit misrepresent the aggregate. World4ch's programming and politics boards are more active, but the quality of the posts there is questionable (to put it mildly). I don't know why I visit there anymore, except to flame.
For great hilarity compare the thread titles in 4-ch's Politics board with World4ch's.
