Alright.. So not really..
Just more of trying to add one of the 2ch boards to your
board-surfing habits a bit. I've already promoted this site to the 2ch'ers on repeated occasions.
http://academy4.2ch.net/english/index.html The english board.
At least give the place a look,
and pop by the Chat In English thread.
http://academy4.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/english/1128472128/ (part 29 is the current one)
But yes.. Fresh blood, is good whether it be one-time visitors,
repeat regulars or anything inbetween.
Posts from 2 to 8 or 9 in the CiE thread contains links to all the backlogs (if ye feel like checking the prev parts of the thread out) and various handy links.
So, anybody interested?
I am a big 2channel fan! I occasionally post in the English chat threads, too! ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
There's some more threads which are actually in English listed here: http://4-ch.net/dqn/kareha.pl/1125422457
If you just want to talk about 2channel or share your insights about it, please consider contributing to this thread here:

I posted on the english board a few times once, correcting people, and got yelled at for not typing in Japanese... :|
>>3
People on 2channel will yell at you all the time, don't give people who yell at you too much credit.
You could always say you're a native speaker, though.
>>3
ignore the trolls. most people are happy about getting to practice their english around people with more correct such.
also, some people even specifically asked for people to correct their grammar.
so, you really shouldn't take it personal. some people just like to yell at others for any reason. and then there are the bonafide trolls too... don't forget those.
The "minimum promise" of 2channel that users are expected to keep is to not hassle other users.
Of course, there will always be people who will hassle you regardless. But that also means that as a reasonable user you should not reply to hasslers, trolls or thread ruiners. That's a real fundamental "rule" of 2channel: People who respond to thread ruiners are just as bad as thread ruiners themselves, as they are only giving them fuel to continue their tomfoolery which is likely to be a hassle for all other users.
Seems like people (or maybe just one guy) are working hard to promote 4ch in the latest "Chat in English" thread.
Umm.. by the way.. I should have remembered to mention this before...
They hate 4chan.org ...For obvious reasons.. points at the /b/tards So, if you mention 4-ch, make sure you clarify it's not the same as 4chan...
>>7
It's more than one person because it's not just me who does mention 4-ch there.
I'd hardly call it "working hard", though. It's simple namedropping.
I am afraid it might get a bit annoying for the users there, though.
Would be great if I could read Japanese
>>10
what
本当にバカですね？
>>10
The Chat In English thread is in English :-p
Using Japanese in that thread is frowned upon by people.
>>9
I've been linking to 4-ch repeatedly. But not frequently. Just that when people kept asking for other boards similar to 2ch i mentioned 4-ch, also, when people asked me how i found the place, i informed them of that it was through 4-ch. And i've been linking to 4-ch the past few threads.
Also, amusingly enough, i have mentioned that i visit 4chan, but nobody got upset when i did that. but pretty much anyone else mentioning it has gotten people annoyed. Either i must have had an interesting timing when nobody noticed, or people just thought i was exaggerating.

Part 30.
Lots of racism. One can develop a very low opinion of Japan. There's more racism in that thread than there is in the KKK.
YHBT. YHL. HAND.
ACRONYMS
wtf?
This really turned into a shit thread
plz 2 stop the lame trolling
why was 16 deleted? I thought they made a good point.
After reading throu that chatter thread, I don't see why you whould want any of them to come posting here on 4ch.
>>22
This is ridiculous. Such a thing would never be deleted on 2ch. If you think it violates some rule, then SHOW ME THE RULE.
Chat in English Part 30 was deemed a horrible failure
>>24
This board isn't meant for stupid crap. If you harass other users with racism, that is stupid crap. Q.E.D.

>I dont hate americans! they are seems to be good people. but not ones who works
>as english teachers or animation maniacs!
lol
Also, the name dropping of 4ch started to sound like advertising to me, after a while.
>>28
It wasn't name dropping after a while. After a while it was blatant and annoying advertising. I like 4-ch a lot, which is why it's so frustrating to get stupid text ads thrown at you over and over again sigh damn those trolls/spammers.
>>29
I guess some malicious people have tried thwart our intentions by over-advertsising us.
I got a great error.
ＥＲＲＯＲ：>> が多すぎます！
"Too many >>s"
..wow... i'm impressed. :-D
I frequently refer back, but i've never gotten that...
How many >>s did you try to put in? curious
>>32
KAMI ERROR! SUGOI!
Where is part 31? IS there a part 31? I'm interested now.
>>35
Part 31 got accidently misnamed "Part 30":
http://academy4.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/english/1128943144/l50
Some troll keeps haunting the thread -_-;;;
Not a happy thing.
>>37
Ignore them. Or report them.
Yep, too many trolls now.
And I only understand about half of what they said about me in Japanese ;_;
Wish I had found this thead(s) before it got fagged up. :(
>>38
You can't report trolls on 2ch, you can only ignore them.
You guys basically brought it on by mention 4-ch as if having a foreign version of anything automatically makes it cool. It's the same trouble as coming in the thread and saying "Hey I like Yukorin even though I'm American! Isn't that interesting?!?!!"
> You can't report trolls on 2ch, you can only ignore them.
Well, you can at least make deletion requests:
http://qb5.2ch.net/sakud/
http://qb5.2ch.net/saku/index2.html
http://qb5.2ch.net/saku2ch/index2.html
Not that I am implying that would make much sense in this case.
>>41
Nope, that was not us, that was a troll that did so. Over and over and over again.
A small troll attracted a bigger troll and now the thread is chewed to bits.
...riiight. this is most unhappy.
for a chat in english thread, this sure has alot of japanese :\
Meh, it's ruined.
>>46
shrug
For now yeah.
It's part 32, the thread will live on even long after the troll gets bored.
"Nevar give up, neva surrender!"?
ＥＲＲＯＲ：referer情報が変です。(ref1)
Error: Referer information is strange. (ref1)
...is what I get. :(
Try to copy pasta the url instead of clicking on it
>>51
I did. I even copied it into IE, which I never use.
I still get that error when I try to post. Funny... I never got it before.
>>55
what was the problem?
Hi, 4-ch people.
I'm from VIP in 2ch.
Latest thread: Part 44
http://academy4.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/english/1140454927/
By the way.. If some troll posts japanese in that thread, you can get the general gist of the message (assuming you don't know japanese) with
http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/
if you feel like understanding what's said.
>>57
Hello there, VIPPER.
Am I the only one who has attempted to test their Japanese reading skills on the 2ch only to find that many of the words and phrases are shorthand or colloquialism?
>>61
lol whut?
>>61
Hmm... I usually try to read most Japanese I see... but I knew that already.
Most 4-ch posters do not consider that a person from 2-ch will try to translate their posts.
When posting for greater comprehension to foreign readers, you must write simply, and with clarity. Also, you should avoid contractions and idiom.
>>64
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwlike the Japanese dowwwwwwwww
>>64
It really depends on the context on how I write. If I'm debating with someone I am already going to be as clear and direct as possible as I do not want even other English speakers to misunderstand me. If I'm posting in /dqn/ I'm not going to give a shit(i.e. I do not care). If you do not understand my posts though, I would be happy to restate them, assuming I actually see the request. Maybe I should start putting an email with all of my posts?
I highly doubt that I am the only one that writes like I do. You cannot expect everyone to always post like this though.

Chat in English, Part 64!
>>67
wow. it's been a year since the start of this thread and they're STILL talking about Yukorin's farts.
I guess that says something about 2ch / Japan.
>>68
Yukorin's farts are for 2ch what Cockmongler is for 4chan.
An ancient meme that's going to haunt the place forever -_-;;
A theory of why Yukorin's farts are memetastic for 2ch:
Yukorin is an idol who looks younger than what she is, as well as that she has a rather quirky personality. There's an issue regarding whether she's faking the quirkiness or not, and thus she intrigues not only the lonely blokes who want to fwap at cute, young looking girls, but also more. She stated in an interview that her farts smelled like vanilla (not as random as what it may sound, the interviewer was the one who brought the topic of farts up). The connotations of vanilla are congruent with the stereotype of cute idol girls, yet the absurd linking of vanilla scent to
farts is congruent with Yukorin's quirky character.
Essentially, it seems as if a lot of people try to figure out if she's "for real", and thus they enjoy poking fun at her/referring to her quirkiness, which is excellently illustrated by her vanilla-farts statement, and thus is the quickest and "purest" way of pointing at the quirky oddness of it all.
I wish to smell one of her farts and decide for myself.

Hehe...
Yeah, so... I'm not the only one that hangs out on both boards.^^
>>83
Nah. There were a lot more in the past, and they freely mentioned this there, but after that some troll kept spamming the CiE thread with links to 4-ch in combination with acting retarded... Let's just say the japanese people got some rather bad associations and annoyed whenever people mentioned 4-ch, thanks to the spamming and holier-than-thou attitude the troll boasted. So, the ones from here who visited 2ch quickly learned to not speak about 4-ch unless asked, back in those days..
see >>7,9,13 for reference. But as you can see, that was ages ago.
There probably are still others from here that visit the threads, just that most probably are anons.
>>83
moar references about the over-advertisement:
>>28-31,43
It was a bit more subtle than that. I think it was just some guy who was annoyed that people were touting this place as an "english 2ch". So he replied sarcastically, taking it to extremes. No one likes spam.
I'm kind of new to 4-ch, and can post on 2ch. So I'm just going to age this.

well why dont u do this at 2ch instead. we dont have many pple at 4ch. sometimes it takes 3days to get one reply.
>>93,94
Nope, it still lives. However, by some reason it seems they switched to that you can't view the thread itself via FF/IE, as opposed to the board itself. It has been said however, that the threads are normal if viewed through 2ch browsers.
http://www.monazilla.org/ has some links, but I don't know what to download... Help would be appreciated.
>>92
Over-advertising will kill us. Incurring the wrath of the VIPpers is a very bad idea. Also: Imagine a night club. Now, imagine some visitors constantly talking really loudly about how great another place is, and how everybody should give it a look... People will begin to hate that other club, because of associating the negative advertisement with the club. Also, the few who will visit it, will have too high expectations, and then go "Oh, this isn't at all that great. This sucks! >__< I wasted my precious time on this instead of having fun like usual!" and thus hate it even further.
What would the almighty VIPpers do to us? Are they THAT bad?!
