No, no usernames or regitration .Everyone is Anonymous or anon for short. Some people do put down nicknames, but thats pretty uncommon.

Ah, thanks for the info. Guess it prevents cliques and such, but makes people feel even less responsible for their stupid posts.

I've seen /b/ backups before, but only a month at a time, picture packs as they were called.

So you are saying it is like P&N?

Its worse.

Think of it this way

25% of the topics will be unauthorized porn/hentai. Those are usually deleted in a few minures

Another 25% will be Spam topics from " Lucky Star Sucks" "Evangelion is Overrated" "Haruhi is my God" "Sauce" "Moar" "WTFis up with FLCL" and So on.

The 49% are basically topics that kind of serve a point but are entertainingly useless.

1% is actual useful stuff.

FLCL rocks BTW. The first time I saw it was on cartoon network and the first thing I saw was a guitar being pulled outta a forehead. I just sat there cunfused as hell until the credits rolled. Then cartoon network started the next one.

I didn't get it at all. The whole fricking time I am confused and laughing my ass off.

Meh, you guys are lightweights if you come in since the not4chan split and the 7chan split though...before that...this was a whole different place.

Though they still have weird random hitler porn.

i also recommend to anyone who has not heard of 4chan to do a wiki unless you want to suffer.
