40 GET

I think the kind of crowd that would post in this kind of place is streched out over both 4-ch and world4ch. Of course a glance at both boards shows not much traffic in either one, not compared to their image board counterparts. Most of the casual discussion that makes up the chatter that fills a forum happens on the image boards. The images spark discussions on things like the latest anime episodes or upcoming shows, sexuality, otaku culture, etc. People come for the "gimmicks" and generally stay there. The discussion boards don't seem to offer much more than a lack of thread expiration and age limits.
