I'm surprised there isn't already a topic like this, but maybe there was and it was archived, or it was oddly named and I just couldn't find it.
This topic is mainly aimed at the new crowds. I'm sure most of the oldbies (like me) would say because of iichan/wakachan and world2ch.
"Middle wavers" will say because of Densha Otoko.
We seem to have very few members, yet very many members, depending on the topic and board you look at. It's sorta like we have a lot of people who only post a few times and stop, or who confine themselves to specific boards.
Anyway, I don't think this site is promoted much anywhere (due to the nature of us 4-chers), so how did you come about it?
Densha Otoko.... saw 2ch and wanted to find something like it
iichan
>>2
some part is the same here...
I was reading Densha Otoko, but I was visiting 4chan before, then I tried searching something bigger on Overchan and found Wakachan.
Now I'm mostly active on 4-ch.
I wish 4-ch would grow... :(
I saw someone make a post about it on the wakaba imageboard boards, then a little bit later it was added to the wakachan sidebar.
I came from the AA Saloon @ 2ch. Some guys linked to World4ch then I found my way here.
>and that's why you sage this thread?
Unlike imageboards, sage is not an insult.
4chan
4-ch by way of Overchan by way of 7chan by way of 4chan by way of SomethingAwful by way of a popular website that I'm embarrased to have ever visited more than once and that Shall Not Be Named.
4-ch <- 4chan <- AnimeNation.
With stops at iichan, NarutoFan and Gaia.
Someone had written the url on a wall in a gay cruising spot
don't remember, but probably some circumnavigation around iichan and 4chan and 2ch and some overchan or something
I was looking for an alternative for 4chan textboards, this was the first result on google.
>>12,13
Wrong on both counts, it's much more embarrassing.
Wikipedia, believe it or not.
And I found it before I found 4chan, if you can believe that.
i think someone mentioned it on an irc channel a long time ago.
>>24
lol i actually found 4chan when someone pasted a link on #megatokyo o.o
the irc channel wasn't too bad until someone referred to me as "her" and then someone else said "wait, ...'s a girl?" and you can probably guess how things went after that...
>I'm sure most of the oldbies (like me) would say because of iichan/wakachan and world2ch.
I've been here for three years and found the place by Googling
"English 2ch" and following links from there.
I didn't even realise that iichan linked here until sometime
last year when someone posted something like "sup iichan" on
General and I was like "what".
And these days I tend to confine my posts to DQN and General,
but I do lurk on Romance and Personal Issues occassionally.
I found through wikipedia, but I have to admit, I did watch Densha Otoko right before...
I've visted 4chan for years, though, but I outgrew the new wave of /b/tardness.
Anyway, I confine myself to Romance, Personal, and Sexuality, and also DQN.
possibly overchan or 4chan BBS

I only lurk nowadays, and mainly on those 4 :p

runescape?
can't think of anything worse than that...
4-ch <- iichan <- wikichan <- 4chan <- shitty forum
Wikichan, or Encyclopedia Dramatica.
even though this is my first time on the site i guess i could be called a "middle waver" since i found the site from reading Densha Otoko
>>41
"middle waver" -> from Densha Otoko != from Densha Otoko -> "middle waver"
Densha Otoko brought me to look up 2ch on Wiki since I've never heard of it before, and then on Wiki I found the section about 4ch and immediately had the urge to be here. ^_^
wikipedia
slashdot
densha otoko -> wikipedia -> 4chan -> google (wanted to know what did "VIP QUALITY" mean) -> DQN
i wish i didn't waste all that time with 4chan...
What the heck is DQN anyways...I don't get it...
From iichan. I was young, naive, and distracted by fancy image boards though. A few years later when I grew tired of them, I remembered to check this place out again.
DQN ([dokiyun]), such as Yankee (defectiveness) badness of the head so the person of the violence feeling, or, common sense is not known, when knowledge scantily so pointing to the person, it is used. It can increase the trick of the looks and the trick of look as a feature.
The wonders of Google and NEET life
I actually have no idea.
I am DQN.
In the darkness before 4-ch was formed, DQN existed.
Also, Squeeks.
But that's another story.
