alexa is english toolbar, 2ch is japanese. maybe this explains for the difference, eh?
That's kind of my point. In light of this, is comparing two forums by their # of posts really appropriate?
>>20 Alexa is the most useful spyware the interweb has seen yet!

What is this?
Looks like something DUMB!
I'm Japanese.
I'm a 2channeller.
I can't speak English well,but I try to tell you about 2ch!
>>38
Can you get us an International board on 2ch?
http://academy4.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/english/1140063102/l50
>>38
So many people use 2ch, is there really a single culture tying it all together?
>>43
Did 2ch users buy a lot of Negima CDs to increase its sales ranking?
>>44
Some 2ch users bought a lot of Negima CDs.
If anything,Most of the people who bought a lot of Negima CDs are called anime mania(In Japanese,they are called OTAKU)
I'm sorry by poor English.
>>38
How can you say that 2ch is the most popular homepage in Japan? What are the true signs of its significance?
>>45
Your English is not bad. I can understand your writing.
How does 2ch choose administrators and moderators to maintain the bbs?
>>46
In 2005,Japanese culture was influenced from 2ch very much.
Denshaotoko(train man)and Nomaneko describe it.
Many media(TV,Magazine,and Information homepage) take it as a symbol of Japanese Internet.such a special treatment only give to 2ch.
For this reason,I judge that 2ch is the most popular homepage in Japan.
>>47
2ch's administrators and moderators is chosen from 2ch users.
They work as a volunteer.
And "HIROYUKI" is the owner of 2ch.
Can you understand my poor English? I'm glad for it! Thank you.
>>48
How often is 2ch mentioned in media? Since Densha Otoko and Nomaneko, have there been big news stories involving 2ch?
South Korean was drawing South Korean national flag on this site!
Lets change this fucking picture into Pepsi logo!
I want you to cooperate in 4ch!

>>50 I'll answer it,
2ch has ever been mentioned in most newspapers, such as Asahi, Yomiuri and Sankei.
The story which was told most frequently in media was about Winny, a P2P file-sharing software.
It was made by an anonymous person (who proved to be an assistant professor of Univ. of Tokyo) in Download board in 2ch.
One of the biggest news was that he was arrested.
And now media report that information of investigation by police was leaked carelessly by using Winny.
I think Densha Otoko was the most famous, though.
>>48
I think 2ch is popular, too.
But it's not always regarded as a good site.
Some anonymous users of 2ch commited crimes, and media says
2ch is producing criminals or lazy people.
ah, I'm a Japanese ronin, who finishes all the exams tomorrow.
>>55
Oh!I'm a Japanese ronin,too.
Your English is very good!
I ashamed of my poor English
>>55
Good luck on your exams!
>>56
Chat with us. Improve your english by chatting with english speakers. Otherwise, you can always joing the nihongo board http://4-ch.net/nihongo/ and get help there.
>>55
Good luck to you too.
And I'm a FREETER who graduated Waseda University. My score of English class was always "C".
Anyway, 2ch is often charged with defamation and spread of groundless rumor. In theory who have to be charged is the poster, IOW anonymous user. But Hiroyuki always stands accused, and always lose a case... Who pays compensatory payments? No one but Hiroyuki.
That's why we have to consider Hiroyuki as kind of saint or deity.
C? The scoring there must be pretty tough. You make some mistakes, but not any more than most Japanese people I see posting on the net.
And to all of you people learning English: I really recommend reading a lot in English. Get books in English that your are interested in, and read them. Posting in English is also good practice, although the danger of learning on the net is that a lot of English speakers post in really bad English too.
I'm not a native English speaker either, and I learned a lot of my English from reading lots of books in English.
Maybe we can help you out with books if you tell us your interests :)
Well, I'm more intrested in English forums than English books...
I just read about the idiot americans who have invaded 2ch and I am filled with shame (even though I posted stupidly too, but I confined myself to their VIP board). orz
such is life
>>63
I doubt anyone could gather enough americans to make a noticeable invasion of 2ch.
>>66 yeah, they're a couple of wacky guys!
2channelers love board vs board wars, so invation is always welcomed.
One of the most famous wars is that of Military board vs Yaoi board war, which was ended in miserable defeat of Military guys. Since then, the word "Yaoi" is a taboo word in Military board.
invation -> invasion

How did this "war" take place? Just by the military guys invading the gay guys' board and vice versa? And how was the winner decided?
> And how was the winner decided?
>>69 is one of the gay guys.
>>73
I think you're mistaken as to the demographic that is the target market for yaoi.
>>73
Yeah, how did the war took place? Did the military guys use their powerful heiki on the yaoi people?

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ !
i think that if 2ch closed, it'll be on the news everywhere since its the biggest website in japan. japan will probably have some massive revolution if 2ch did close.
they'll introduce anonymous democracy then. The Leader is >>1-san
2chers:
What's the relation nowadays between 2channel and 2chan/Futaba Channel? Is the latter anywhere near as popular? Are they as different as say, 4chan and here are?
The main relations are that 2ch affects pretty much everything on the Japanese internet, so you'll see 2ch words and memes used on Futaba occasionally. Also, there is a substantive population of people who frequent both places, VIPPERs especially.
But generally they are unrelated. Futaba's Nijiura boards might make it into the top-ten list of 2ch boards based on posting rates, but 2ch is still significantly bigger.
