&lt;div&gt;The IRC of Heyuri is located at #heyuri on irc.kolyma.net. Unlike other channels on the network, the IRC of Heyuri tends to be inactive, save for gatherings and meetings such as [[Townhall|Townhalls.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;#&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;heyuri used to be located on Rizon, which [[lolico]] had created the channel, and then shifted ownership unto [[kuz]], who moved it onto irc.kolyma.net. Ownership of the channel then shifted to [[kaguya]], who now owns the current channel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other than townhalls, #heyuri tends to be inactive for the most part, with the last message being sent 2 months ago, according to the time of this being written.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliased Fonts on Linux Mint===&lt;br /&gt;
Aliased fonts for &amp;quot;mah old computer aesthetic&amp;quot;. For best results, do this on old software and hardware and a CRT screen, but I digress.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Details View Smallest.png|right|frameless]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Details View Second Smallest.png|right|frameless]]&lt;br /&gt;
Constraints that a collection of fonts must meet:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Monospace&lt;br /&gt;
**size 9&lt;br /&gt;
**needs to look good when bolded, italicized, and bold italicized&lt;br /&gt;
**Prefer x height to be fairly large&lt;br /&gt;
*Proportional&lt;br /&gt;
**size 9&lt;br /&gt;
**size 10&lt;br /&gt;
**needs to look good when bolded, italicized, and bold italicized&lt;br /&gt;

====Oh noes====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I changed some things more toward how I wanted it to look but I don&#039;t remember what exactly I did and I don&#039;t understand everything about how all the parts interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think Firefox on Linux refers to fonts.conf located in ~/.config/fontconfig for its font-related settings and I suspect settings there override what you might specify in about:config. Reason is: I tried disabling anti-aliasing and got it disabled in webpages but not in the UI of the program itself. Then I closed and reopened it and the anti-aliasing was present in the UI (and ugly as fuck because of no font hinting). Then attempts to change the settings back in about:config failed. I fixed it by opening fonts.conf and putting settings: antialias false, hinting true, hintstyle hintfull, autohint false. With the hinting in place, it looks good again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A bunch of configs I use:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Fonts_2022-06-01.png|center|640x640px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things still look bad, like &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Steam. That&#039;s what happens when programs control their own fonts and font rendering and window management instead of delegating to the OS. ONLY MUSIC PLAYERS CAN DO THAT, AND ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE GRANDFATHERED IN!!&lt;br /&gt;
*Another thing is that either I&#039;m getting CSS wrong, or Stylish can&#039;t override fonts with CSS when I have disabled webpages overriding my default fonts.&lt;br /&gt;
*A third is that some programs in Linux Mint use some custom window decoration style that doesn&#039;t look as good as the main one. (the preferences window for the text editor is an example. it&#039;s this fat top bar look with hamburger buttons, think it&#039;s from GNOME but not sure)&lt;br /&gt;
*mattari doesn&#039;t look right when I disallow overriding fonts for websites even though Strange World looks right (Strange World even has correct line spacing)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At least Qt programs look alright. Qt is always so janky and second-class.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I should hunt down more Microsoft fonts and remove some useless fonts and generally organise my collection some more... I&#039;m sure there are lots of cute fonts waiting for me to find them...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further reading: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Font_configuration&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dark Themes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most of my programs are in light mode, but for a few it just feels right to use a dark theme for them. Anything to do with code (text editors, IDEs, the terminal), music players, and drawing programs like GIMP and Krita. Perhaps what they have in common is that they are what you use when you are being creative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Websites are another matter. Every website brings its own mood and should control its own theme. It&#039;s too bad that most websites assume that anti-aliasing is being used and don&#039;t pick font settings that look good without it, hence the need for disallowing them from overriding the defaults.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

===Aliased Fonts on Linux Mint===&lt;br /&gt;
Aliased fonts for &amp;quot;muh old computer aesthetic&amp;quot;. For best results, do this on old software and hardware and a CRT screen, but I digress.&lt;br /&gt;

====Oh noes====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I changed some things more toward how I wanted it to look but I don&#039;t remember what exactly I did and I don&#039;t understand everything about how all the parts interact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think Firefox on Linux refers to fonts.conf located in ~/.config/fontconfig for its font-related settings and I suspect settings there override what you might specify in about:config. Reason is: I tried disabling anti-aliasing and got it disabled in webpages but not in the UI of the program itself. Then I closed and reopened it and the anti-aliasing was present in the UI (and ugly as fuck because of no font hinting). Then attempts to change the settings back in about:config failed. I fixed it by opening fonts.conf and putting settings: antialias false, hinting true, hintstyle hintfull, autohint false. With the hinting in place, it looks good again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A bunch of configs I use:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Fonts_2022-06-01.png|center|640x640px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some things still look bad, like &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Steam. That&#039;s what happens when programs control their own fonts and font rendering and window management instead of delegating to the OS. ONLY MUSIC PLAYERS CAN DO THAT, AND ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE GRANDFATHERED IN!!&lt;br /&gt;
*Another thing is that either I&#039;m getting CSS wrong, or Stylish can&#039;t override fonts with CSS when I have disabled webpages overriding my default fonts.&lt;br /&gt;
*A third is that some programs in Linux Mint use some custom window decoration style that doesn&#039;t look as good as the main one. (the preferences window for the text editor is an example. it&#039;s this fat top bar look with hamburger buttons, think it&#039;s from GNOME but not sure)&lt;br /&gt;
*mattari doesn&#039;t look right when I disallow overriding fonts for websites even though Strange World looks right (Strange World even has correct line spacing)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At least Qt programs look alright. Qt is always so janky and second-class.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I should hunt down more Microsoft fonts and remove some useless fonts and generally organise my collection some more... I&#039;m sure there are lots of cute fonts waiting for me to find them...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Dark Themes===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most of my programs are in light mode, but for a few it just feels right to use a dark theme for them. Anything to do with code (text editors, IDEs, the terminal), music players, and drawing programs like GIMP and Krita. Perhaps what they have in common is that they are what you use when you are being creative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Websites are another matter. Every website brings its own mood and should control its own theme. It&#039;s too bad that most websites assume that anti-aliasing is being used and don&#039;t pick font settings that look good without it, hence the need for disallowing them from overriding the defaults.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

some comments:&lt;br /&gt;
* Ambitious number of red links there. Is it worth reaching out to other internet history wiki groups like bibanon or Archiveteam to collaborate on articles?&lt;br /&gt;
* Would be good to nail down definitions of terms and clarify which of these include others as special cases: Imageboard, textboard, bulletin board/BBS, Web Chat, internet forum, SNS, Usenet newsgroups.&lt;br /&gt;
* In later articles that go into culture, these images may come in handy:&lt;br /&gt;

:&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#789922&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Is it worth reaching out to other internet history wiki groups like bibanon or Archiveteam to collaborate on articles?&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:I dunno - I kinda like this wiki being our own thing for us to play around with, and us being able to take a fresh look at things instead of just spreading the same crappy misinformation and hearsay that most of the others do. In fact, the main reason why I began digging into Japanese BBSes and their history in the first place was because of how disatisfying (and often downright wrong -_-) the existing &amp;quot;literature&amp;quot; on this stuff was, LOL&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#789922&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Would be good to nail down definitions of terms and clarify which of these include others as special cases: Imageboard, textboard, bulletin board/BBS, Web Chat, internet forum, SNS, Usenet newsgroups.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:Definitely. &amp;quot;Textboard&amp;quot; in particular... I want to demolish that stupid n00b term!!&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#789922&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;In later articles that go into culture, these images may come in handy&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:Agreed, but we have to be careful not to take everything they say at face value - we have no idea how much (or how little) the person(s) who made them knew, so its always best to go digging and verify for ourselves&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Also check out this sweet formatting - if you put a colon at the start of a line, it becomes indented! And they stack too! Talk pages will no longer be an indecipherable mess, hooray!&lt;br /&gt;

For inviting them, why not if they Heyuri-fy themselves first? And about copying what other wikis has, it might come in handy if their authors consent (or not, as long as it doesn&#039;t bring in absurd conflicts). --[[User:Kaguya|Kaguya]] ([[User talk:Kaguya|talk]]) 07:00, 22 May 2022 (EDT)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_art ASCII art] refers to text arranged to look like pictures. Historically, it has been used to communicate graphically over channels that only support ASCII-encoded text.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://textfiles.com/art/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; ASCII art is generally intended to be viewed using a monospaced font.&lt;br /&gt;

=Shift JIS Art=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SJIS configuration test sheet.png|thumb|How Shift JIS art should look on Strange World when your fonts are correctly configured. ]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Strange_world_font.png|thumb|OH NOES, only half of all [[Heyurian|Heyurians]] have Shift JIS fonts correctly configured!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shift JIS art is closely related to ASCII art but refers to text encoded in Shift JIS. It is popular on [[Japanese]] [[bulletin board]] systems (where they incorrectly refer to it as ｢ＡＳＣＩＩ　Ａｒｔ｣ or ｢ＡＡ｣) and consequently on [[Heyuri]]. Because of the greater diversity of characters available in that encoding—including English, Japanese, Greek, and Cyrillic characters as well as special characters such as punctuation, symbols, or various box-drawing characters—Shift JIS art tends to have more of a &#039;line art&#039; character than ASCII art. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most Shift JIS art is intended to be viewed using a proportionally spaced font such as MS PGothic or [http://monafont.sourceforge.net/index-e.html Mona]. The art on /sjis/ and /lounge/, taken from Japanese discussion boards such as 2channel, is as such. Some Shift JIS art is intended to be viewed using a font such as MS Gothic that, while not monospace, only allots either a half width rectangle or full width square of space to characters. The [[kaomoji]] on [[Strange World]] and most other art posted there, taken from [[Ayashii World]], is as such. Shift JIS art intended for one font family will not display properly when viewed in other font families. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In modern times, both ASCII and Shift JIS encodings has subsided in use and have been largely replaced by the UTF-8 encoding. It is not straightforward to configure a modern computer and internet browser to properly display Shift JIS art. Refer to [https://2ch.sh/src/2390.txt this copypasta] to determine whether your font configuration is correct to view Shift JIS art on Strange World.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/BWJbZ&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:Yup. With proportional Japanese fonts (such as MS PGothic, which is used in 2channel-style AA), the spacing of each and every character is proportional to the character&#039;s width, and these sizes can vary from font to font (Meiryo is very different to MS PGothic for example). With monospaced Japanese fonts (such as MS Gothic, which is used in Ayashii-style AA), the character spacing can only be one of two possible sizes: full-width, or half-width&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It&#039;s worth noting that in monospaced Japanese fonts, Hiragana, kanji, symbols, and characters from other non-Latin scripts are always full-width; on the other hand, Katakana, alphanumeric, and Western punctuation characters can be either full-width or half-width&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It&#039;s also worth noting that monospaced Western fonts are fixed-width, so there&#039;s only a single size available. For this reason, they&#039;re incompatible with both 2ch and Ayashii AA --[[User:Anonwaha|Anonwaha]] ([[User talk:Anonwaha|talk]]) 21:27, 21 May 2022 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

Technically speaking, ASCII Art is art made using ASCII characters.

* Ambitious number of red links there. Is it worth reaching out to other internet history wiki groups like bibanon or Archiveteam to collaborate on articles?&lt;br /&gt;
* Would be good to nail down definitions of terms and clarify which of these include others as special cases: Imageboard, textboard, bulletin board/BBS, Web Chat, internet forum, SNS, Usenet newsgroups.&lt;br /&gt;
* In later articles that go into culture, these images may come in handy:&lt;br /&gt;

:I dunno - I kinda like this wiki being our own thing for us to play around with, and us being able to take a fresh look at things instead of just spreading the same crappy misinformation and hearsay that most of the others do. In fact, the main reason why I began digging into Japanese BBSes and their history in the first place was because of how disatisfying (and often downright wrong -_-) the existing &amp;quot;literature&amp;quot; on this stuff was, LOL&lt;br /&gt;

:Agreed, but we have to be careful not to take everything they say at face value - we have no idea how much (or how little) the person(s) who made them knew, so its always best to go digging and verify for ourselves&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Also check out this sweet formatting - if you put a colon at the start of a line, it becomes indented! And they stack too! Talk pages will no longer be an indecipherable mess, hooray!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;What are the exceptions to characters having either half or full width in Shift JIS art?

:Yup. With proportional Japanese fonts (such as MS PGothic, which is used in 2channel-style AA), the spacing of each and every character is proportional to the character&#039;s width, and these sizes can vary from font to font (Meiryo is very different to MS PGothic for example). With monospaced Japanese fonts (such as MS Gothic, which is used in Ayashii-style AA), the character spacing can only be one of two possible sizes: full-width, or half-width&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It&#039;s worth noting that in monospaced Japanese fonts, Hiragana, kanji, symbols, and characters from other non-Latin scripts are always full-width; on the other hand, Katakana, alphanumeric, and Western punctuation characters can be either full-width or half-width&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It&#039;s also worth noting that monospaced Western fonts are fixed-width, so there&#039;s only a single size available. For this reason, they&#039;re incompatible with both 2ch and Ayashii AA --[[User:Anonwaha|Anonwaha]] ([[User talk:Anonwaha|talk]]) 21:27, 21 May 2022 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== Regarding ASCII Art vs Shift-JIS Art ==&lt;br /&gt;
Technically speaking, ASCII Art is art made using ASCII characters. Japanese text art does not use ASCII, and therefore &#039;&#039;shouldn&#039;t&#039;&#039; be called ASCII Art. &#039;&#039;&#039;HOWEVER!&#039;&#039;&#039; ...the Japanese almost exclusively call their text art &amp;quot;ASCII Art&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;AA&amp;quot; ([https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AD%E3%83%BC%E3%82%A2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88 https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/アスキーアート]), while &amp;quot;SJIS art&amp;quot;/&amp;quot;Shift-JIS art&amp;quot; are made-up terms that some Westerner somewhere coined - and it&#039;s not even correct because the Japanese (and everyone else) has been using UTF-8 for years&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So with the above in mind, plus the fact that we are a bunch of weeaboos that obsess over Japanese things (and not least Japanese BBS culture), I think its appropriate - nay, necessary! - for us to use &amp;quot;ASCII Art&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;AA&amp;quot; to describe Japanese text art. We can just call Western text art &amp;quot;shitty AA&amp;quot; or something instead &amp;lt;span lang=&amp;quot;ja&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;font-family:&#039;MS Gothic&#039;,monospace&amp;quot;&amp;gt;ヽ(´ー｀)ノ&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; --[[User:Anonwaha|Anonwaha]] ([[User talk:Anonwaha|talk]]) 21:50, 21 May 2022 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

Shift JIS art is closely related to ASCII art but refers to text encoded in Shift JIS. It is popular on [[Japanese]] [[bulletin board]] systems and consequently on [[Heyuri]]. Because of the greater diversity of characters available in that encoding—including English, Japanese, Greek, and Cyrillic characters as well as special characters such as punctuation, symbols, or various box-drawing characters—Shift JIS art tends to have more of a &#039;line art&#039; character than ASCII art. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most Shift JIS art is intended to be viewed using a proportionally spaced font such as MS PGothic or [http://monafont.sourceforge.net/index-e.html Mona]. The art on /sjis/ and /lounge/, taken from Japanese discussion boards such as 2channel, is as such. Some Shift JIS art is intended to be viewed using a font such as MS Gothic that, while not monospace, only allots either a half width rectangle or full width square of space to characters. The [[kaomoji]] on [[Strange World]] and most other art posted there, taken from [[Ayashii World]], is as such. Shift JIS art intended for one font family will not display properly when viewed in other font families. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In modern times, both ASCII and Shift JIS encodings has subsided in use and have been largely replaced by the UTF-8 encoding. It is not straightforward to configure a modern computer and internet browser to properly display Shift JIS art.

I may be conflating MS Gothic and MS PGothic here. [[User:G1ade|G1ade]] ([[User talk:G1ade|talk]]) 20:44, 21 May 2022 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

:&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#789922&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;I may be conflating MS Gothic and MS PGothic here&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:Yup. With proportional Japanese fonts (such as MS PGothic, which is used in 2channel-style AA), the spacing of each and every character is proportional to the character&#039;s width, and these sizes can vary from font to font (Meiryo is very different to MS PGothic for example). With monospaced Japanese fonts (such as MS Gothic, which is used in Ayashii-style AA), the character spacing can only be one of two possible sizes: full-width, or half-width&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It&#039;s worth noting that in monospaced Japanese fonts, Hiragana, kanji, symbols, and characters from other non-Latin scripts are always full-width; on the other hand, Katakana, alphanumeric, and Western punctuation characters can be either full-width or half-width&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It&#039;s also worth noting that monospaced Western fonts are fixed-width, so there&#039;s only a single size available. For this reason, they&#039;re incompatible with both 2ch and Ayashii AA --[[User:Anonwaha|Anonwaha]] ([[User talk:Anonwaha|talk]]) 21:27, 21 May 2022 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

Shift JIS art is closely related to ASCII art but refers to text encoded in Shift JIS. It is popular on [[Japanese]] [[bulletin board]] systems and consequently on [[Heyuri]]. Because of the greater diversity of characters available in that encoding—English and Japanese script in full width and half width, Greek and Cyrillic script, and various box-drawing characters—Shift JIS art tends to have more of a &#039;line art&#039; character than ASCII art. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most Shift JIS art is intended to be viewed using a proportionally spaced font such as MS PGothic or [http://monafont.sourceforge.net/index-e.html Mona]. The art on /sjis/ and /lounge/, taken from Japanese discussion boards such as 2channel, is as such.

:I dunno - I kinda like this wiki being our own thing for us to play around with, and us being able to take a fresh look at things instead of just spreading the same crappy misinformation and hearsay that most of the others do. In fact, the main reason why I began digging into Japanese BBSes and their history in the first place was because of how disatisfying (and often downright wrong -_-) the existing &amp;quot;literature&amp;quot; on this stuff was, LOL&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#789922&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Would be good to nail down definitions of terms and clarify which of these include others as special cases: Imageboard, textboard, bulletin board/BBS, Web Chat, internet forum, SNS, Usenet newsgroups.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:Agreed, but we have to be careful not to take everything they say at face value - we have no idea how much (or how little) the person(s) who made them knew, so its always best to go digging and verify for ourselves&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Also check out this sweet formatting - if you put a colon at the start of a line, it becomes indented! And they stack too! Talk pages will no longer be an indecipherable mess, hooray!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Strange_world_font.png|thumb|OH NOES, only half of all [[Heyurian|Heyurians]] have Shift JIS fonts correctly configured!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shift JIS art is closely related to ASCII art but refers to text encoded in Shift JIS. It is popular on [[Japanese]] [[bulletin board]] systems and consequently on [[Heyuri]]. Because of the greater diversity of characters available in that encoding—English and Japanese script in full width and half width, Greek and Cyrillic script, and various box-drawing characters—Shift JIS art tends to have more of a &#039;line art&#039; character than ASCII art. Shift JIS art is intended to be viewed using a font such as MS Gothic that, while not monospace, displays each character in one of two widths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In modern times, usage of both ASCII and Shift JIS encodings has subsided and has been largely replaced by the UTF-8 encoding. It is not straightforward to configure a modern computer and internet browser to properly display Shift JIS art. Refer to [https://2ch.sh/src/2390.txt this copypasta] to determine whether your font configuration is correct to view Shift JIS art on [[Strange World]] or in your favourite text editor.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/BWJbZ&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.heyuri.net Heyuri.net] is an [[imageboard]] created by [[lolico]] in 2018.  It was originally hosted on the Heyuri.cf domain and meant to be a P2P filesharing website, but on November 24th 2019 it was relaunched in it&#039;s current form as an imageboard. May 25th marks &amp;quot;Heyuri Day&amp;quot;, as it was the day when lolico finished his new software rollout, and Heyuri in its traditional sense truly began.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heyuri has 3 main goals, to be a true &amp;quot;futaba clone&amp;quot;, to encourage the creation of [[Oc|original content]], and to provide a taste of older imageboard culture. As one user put it:&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;While our old site did have an undeniable &amp;quot;old internet&amp;quot; sentiment to it, and a userbase that bathed in nostalgia like a junkie bathes in opioids, it wasn&#039;t trying to emulate old 4chan specifically, as many assumed (and continue to assume) at first glance - at least, not beyond the fact it was an English-language Futaba-clone with an emphasis on anime and internet humor, as well as a couple of old 4chan-derived features that we liked (OK, maybe it was a little old-4chan inspired...)&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While [[kuz]] once said:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;We are NOT a oldfag circlejerk, of the same 5-10 recycled jokes from 15-x years ago. [..] In our eyes it is better to create something yourself that everyone can laugh at that than rehash a joke that you know for sure might get a kick out of a few.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a [[Heyuri#Size|relatively small website]], heyuri has an extremely complex, interesting, and layered culture. Due to [[Rule 8|rules]] which have cultivated a very small, tight knit community, the site is full of inside jokes and original content. See: [[Heyuri#Culture|Heyuri Culture]]&lt;br /&gt;

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Construction}}&lt;br /&gt;
As far as the records show, on December 26th, 2018, [[lolico]] registered heyuri.cf. Today, the site has been reverted back to what it looked like immediate after lolico created it, but the domain itself has been through a long history of seizures, back and forth ownership and redirects. Lolico originally created the site as a way to sharpen his PHP skills and play around with programming, something he was very new to at the time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very little to no interesting things happen during this period. &lt;br /&gt;
===The beginnings===&lt;br /&gt;
On 11 November, 2019, Heyuri enters a new phase of life. Spurred on by lolico&#039;s need to expand his PHP knowledge further he launches Heyuri as an imageboard, using his imageboard software; sakomoto. The imageboard itself is terribly slow just like other altchans during its time. It also does not have anything resembling modern heyuri, such as [[Rule 8]], [[Tomo]], or board culture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fast forward to February 5th, and [[Kuz]] now visits Heyuri. It&#039;s during one of these visits that he makes heyuris first and largest Tomo thread. It is around this time that lolico announces that he is looking for a 2nd administrator.&lt;br /&gt;
===Golden Era===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Drama!===&lt;br /&gt;
Kuz and Lolico start to argue like two clucking hens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Akima]] makes the drama worse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arguments between Kuz and Lolico on Discord are posted to [[9chan]] or maybe it was 3chan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====The long dark====&lt;br /&gt;
When Heyuri is taken down, [[StrawberryHeaven]] replaces Heyuri for a time. Eventually, StrawberryHeaven is killed off and Heyuri returns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Akima is defeated by Perl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Revival===&lt;br /&gt;
After Heyuri returns, the site begins to pick up speed and [[Fun Heyuri Community Activities]] happen again.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

* Ambitious number of red links there. Is it worth reaching out to other internet history wiki groups like bibanon or Archiveteam to collaborate on articles?&lt;br /&gt;
* Would be good to nail down definitions of terms and clarify which of these include others as special cases: Imageboard, textboard, bulletin board/BBS, Web Chat, internet forum, SNS, Usenet newsgroups.&lt;br /&gt;
* In later articles that go into culture, these images may come in handy:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
An &#039;&#039;&#039;imageboard&#039;&#039;&#039; is a form of web-based &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Bulletin board|bulletin board]]&#039;&#039;&#039; designed around the posting and sharing of images. Imageboards were originally conceived in the late [[1990s]] on the [[Japan|Japanese]] web, where they are generally referred to as &#039;&#039;gazou keijiban&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;span lang=&amp;quot;ja&amp;quot;&amp;gt;画像掲示板&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;; &#039;&#039;image bulletin board&#039;&#039;). Due to the creation of &#039;&#039;&#039;[[4chan]]&#039;&#039;&#039; in October 2003 and the large userbase and cultural influence the website amassed, the imageboard format expanded far beyond Japan and became a worldwide phenomenon.&lt;br /&gt;

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pre-history===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Between 1994–1996, the big shift away from private online service providers (OSPs) such as &#039;&#039;CompuServe&#039;&#039; (known in Japan as &#039;&#039;NIFTY-Serve&#039;&#039;) towards the [[Internet]] and the [[World Wide Web]] occurred. Web-based bulletin boards were a relatively new concept at this time, and thus were fairly primitive and barebones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====1995====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*On October 21st, 1995, [http://www.scriptarchive.com/ Matt Wright] published the free web-based bulletin board script &#039;&#039;&#039;[http://www.scriptarchive.com/wwwboard.html WWWBoard]&#039;&#039;&#039;. It would quickly become one of the most popular bulletin board scripts around the globe, and would remain so for a couple of years. Thanks to the creation of a Japanese-specific version, WWWBoard was very popular in Japan.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;WWWBoard displayed posts and follow-up posts (replies) in a threaded format similar to traditional [[Netnews|Usenet/Netnews]] newsreaders. No registration was required to post, and users could enter any name they wished.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====1996====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*On May 2nd, 1996, &#039;&#039;[https://www.rescue.ne.jp Rescue]&#039;&#039; released the initial version of &#039;&#039;&#039;[https://www.rescue.ne.jp/cgi/minibbs/ MiniBBS]&#039;&#039;&#039;, which was another free bulletin board script. It was something of a combination of WWWBoard and the [[Web chat|web chat]] format; rather than display posts as their titles and showing them in a threaded format, posts were instead displayed in full and in chronological order.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Unlike WWWBoard, not all posts were displayed at once—the board would be paginated to show around 40 posts at a time, and the pages could be flicked through by using the navigation buttons at the bottom of the page. MiniBBS did not support images, but a link to an image could be included by using the URL field.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;MiniBBS quickly became the de facto bulletin board script in Japan, and remained popular until some time around the millennium. It did not see much use in the West; instead, the &#039;&#039;Ultimate Bulletin Board&#039;&#039; (UBB) software package released around the same time as MiniBBS became the standard bulletin board software, and would kickstart the [[Internet forum]] era.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====1997====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*At some point during 1996–1997, people created modified versions of MiniBBS that could display hotlinked images that were hosted on other sites, and these became what could be described as an early form of imageboard.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;It was common practice for users of these bulletin boards to create their own sites using free web services (such as &#039;&#039;Tripod&#039;&#039;), upload their images to their site, and then hotlink their images in their posts for others to view. &#039;&#039;[[Licentious Notice Board]]&#039;&#039; (LNB)—the first iteration of which was opened by &#039;&#039;fujinami&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;span lang=&amp;quot;ja&amp;quot;&amp;gt;藤波&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;) in August 1997—was a notable example of a site that used this method, although there were many others.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Birth of the imageboard script===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*On May 29th, 1997, &#039;&#039;[http://www.big.or.jp/~talk/t-club/ Tokuho CGI]&#039;&#039; staff took an upload script they had previously created and combined it with WWWBoard to create the &#039;&#039;[http://www.big.or.jp/~talk/t-club/wwwboard03/index.html File Upload]&#039;&#039; script. It essentially worked the same way as WWWBoard, only with the ability to upload an image to the bulletin board&#039;s server when posting, and have the image appear inside the post when it is viewed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====1998====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*On January 24th, 1998, &#039;&#039;Toru&#039;&#039; of Tokuho CGI released version 0.9 of their free imageboard script &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/19991006203008/http://www.big.or.jp/%7Etalk/t-club/soft/mini_120/imgboard_n.cgi imgboard]&#039;&#039;. At its core, it was basically a MiniBBS-like script that allowed users to attach image files to their posts, which would then be uploaded to the bulletin board&#039;s servers and displayed to the left of the post body. The name &#039;&#039;imgboard&#039;&#039;—which would later be adopted by other similar scripts—is what lead to the format being described as &#039;&#039;imageboards&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
*On February 2nd, 1998, &#039;&#039;Terra&#039;&#039; of the site &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/19981205221858/http://www2q.meshnet.or.jp/%7Eterra/cgi/ TryTheHomePage]&#039;&#039; released version 98.2 of &#039;&#039;MultiBBS&#039;&#039; (also known as &#039;&#039;multi2&#039;&#039;), which is the first known [[float type bulletin board]] script. It is a MiniBBS-like script that displays each thread (along with their replies) inside of a box, visually separating threads from other threads. There was no bump/age function, so threads were simply displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent posts at the top), and replies were also displayed in reverse chronological order.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Some time later that year, Terra would create &#039;&#039;resBBS&#039;&#039; which was similar to MultiBBS, but displayed replies in regular chronological order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*On August 10th, 1998, Tokuho CGI created an English version of imgboard and put it online, making it technically the oldest known English-language imageboard.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.big.or.jp/~talk/t-club/soft/wwwboard/messages/231.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; As of May 2022, the board is [http://www.big.or.jp/~talk/t-club/soft/mini/imgboard_e.cgi still online], making it technically the longest-running English-language imageboard as well. However, posting via the post form no longer works.&lt;br /&gt;
*On September 6th, 1998, Terra&#039;s resBBS script was adopted by &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Amezou]]&#039;&#039;&#039;—a precursor site to &#039;&#039;&#039;[[2channel]]&#039;&#039;&#039; which had taken in many &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Ayashii World]]&#039;&#039;&#039; refugees just three days earlier. Amezou—and by extension, 2channel—would popularize the thread float type bulletin board format over the next couple of years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====1999====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*dunno, lol ¯\(º_o)/¯&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====2000====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*On June 24th, 2000, &#039;&#039;KENT&#039;&#039; of &#039;&#039;[https://www.kent-web.com/ KENT-WEB]&#039;&#039; created &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/20000919220828/http://www.kent-web.com/bbs/clip/clip.cgi Clip Board]&#039;&#039;—a &amp;quot;MiniBBS + file uploader&amp;quot;-style script that allowed not just images to be attached, but many different file types.&lt;br /&gt;
*In October 2000, the first version of &#039;&#039;ToR&#039;&#039;&#039;s &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/20010305105844/http://php.s3.to/gazou.html GazouBBS]&#039;&#039; was completed and uploaded to their site, &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/20001206202600/http://php.s3.to/ Let&#039;s PHP!]&#039;&#039;. It was basically the same concept as imgboard (MiniBBS + file uploader + image display), but written in PHP instead of Perl. It had a primitive reply feature, but there was no reply threading—all it did was quote the post in question and add &#039;&#039;Re:[post subject]&#039;&#039; as the subject, similar to the modified versions of MiniBBS used by &#039;&#039;[[Ayashii World]]&#039;&#039; bulletin boards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====2001====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*By February 2001, KENT-WEB had released &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/20010208114745/http://kent-web.com:80/bbs/joyful/joyful.cgi Joyful Note]&#039;&#039;, a script similar to Clip Board but with a resBBS-style reply function.&lt;br /&gt;
*On March 5th, 2001, the initial version of the &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/20010330052532/http://tackysroom.com:80/cgi_upppu.htm Upppu!]&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;span lang=&amp;quot;ja&amp;quot;&amp;gt;あっぷっぷ！&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;; as in &#039;&#039;upload&#039;&#039;) imageboard script was released by &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/20010218122008/http://tackysroom.com/profile.htm Tacky]&#039;&#039; of &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/20010331211438/http://tackysroom.com:80/ Tacky&#039;s Room]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20010330052532/http://tackysroom.com:80/cgi_upppu.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It displayed threads in a table format, and clicking on a thread title would switch to the reply screen. On the reply screen, the image would be displayed at the top, followed by the OP, followed by the existing replies, and then the reply form at the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
*By at least August 2001, [https://web.archive.org/web/20010811171030/http://www.big.or.jp:80/~talk/t-club/soft/mini_r6/index.cgi version 1.22 R6 of imgboard] had been released. This version implemented a reply function, and replies were displayed inside boxes inside the thread beneath the [[OP|opening post]] (OP). Replying to a thread required clicking a link to the right of the OP&#039;s post number to enter reply mode, and—much like 2ch and Amezou—this would also display the thread (and only that thread) in its entirety. This disctinctive look and functionality would later be popularized by Futaba Channel in Japan and 4chan in the West, and has stuck with imageboards all the way to the present day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Futaba Channel is born===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*On August 30th, 2001, &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Futaba Channel|Futaba☆Channel]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;span lang=&amp;quot;ja&amp;quot;&amp;gt;ふたば☆ちゃんねる&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;) (also known as &#039;&#039;Futaba&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;span lang=&amp;quot;ja&amp;quot;&amp;gt;ふたば&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;)) was created to act as a refuge for 2ch users while their site was experiencing severe performance issues. For the first several months of the site&#039;s existance, it only served 2channel-style bulletin boards, not imageboards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====2002====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*At some point between December 2001–February 2002&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20011201155504/http://www.2chan.net:80/index2.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20020213012608/http://www.2chan.net:80/index2.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, Futaba launched its first imageboard, simply titled &#039;&#039;Gazou&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;span lang=&amp;quot;ja&amp;quot;&amp;gt;画像&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;; &#039;&#039;Image&#039;&#039;). Like most other imageboards up to this point, it used the &#039;&#039;imgboard&#039;&#039; script.&lt;br /&gt;
*By April 2002, Futaba had three instances of imgboard in operation: &#039;&#039;Nijigen gazou-ban&#039;&#039; (二次元画像板; &#039;&#039;2D imageboard&#039;&#039;), &#039;&#039;Guro gazou-ban&#039;&#039; (グロ画像板; &#039;&#039;Grotesque imageboard&#039;&#039;), and &#039;&#039;Sanjigen gazou-ban&#039;&#039; (三次元画像板; &#039;&#039;3D imageboard&#039;&#039;).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20020401222007/http://www.2chan.net/img2/imgboard.cgi&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*By July 2002, Futaba had replaced the imgboard script on all three of its imageboards with a modified version of GazouBBS. This modified version had an imgboard-like reply function, a feature not found in the stock GazouBBS script.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20020712155327/http://tmp.2chan.net/img2/imgboard.cgi&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Between October 2002—December 2002, Futaba added many more imageboards, and also introduced thumbnails. Images were now displayed as thumbnails on the board index and in reply mode, and they would have to be clicked to be seen in their original size.&lt;br /&gt;
*On December 23rd, 2002, Futaba Channel made their modified version of GazouBBS public. It was named &#039;&#039;imgboard.php&#039;&#039;, and on the script download page they stated some of the features that had been added:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20030129152139/http://www.2chan.net/script/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Original Japanese: &amp;lt;span lang=&amp;quot;ja&amp;quot;&amp;gt;スレッド、age/sage、2chトリップ、ID、サムネイル、htmlキャッシュ表示、proxyポートスキャン、など&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;English translation: &#039;&#039;Threads, age/sage, 2ch trip, IDs, thumbnails, HTML cache display, proxy port scanning, etc.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Imageboards reach the West===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====2003====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*On March 3rd, 2003, an English-language 2ch-like site &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/20030802191415/http://world2ch.net/world2ch.html world2ch]&#039;&#039; was created by a Japanese user who went by the online handle &#039;&#039;RIR6&#039;&#039;. It did not host any imageboards at this point, but an English-translated version of the &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/20030404093138/http://tolkien.s7.xrea.com/jikken/index.html 0ch BBS]&#039;&#039; script was used for the bulletin boards.&lt;br /&gt;
*On June 1st, 2003, RIR6 hosts [https://web.archive.org/web/20030904101736/http://world2ch.net:8080/gro/index.htm two imageboard instances] on world2ch using an English-translated version of Futaba&#039;s imgboard.php script.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;[NEEDS MOAR RESEARCH]&#039;&#039;&#039; On May 19th, 2003, &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/20030608221400/http://www.php4.jp/ SQ Web Programming Team]&#039;&#039; released version 4.00 of the &#039;&#039;PhotoBBS&#039;&#039; imageboard script. It had already been in development and in use since 1999, but now it was freely available. The board index displayed a table of threads without images, and inside the threads were the image(s) in full and a list of all the replies. Multiple images could be attached when making a thread. The script was primarily used by sites dedicated to sharing self-produced amateur porn pics.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20050322041013/http://www.php4.jp:80/user_link/user_link.php&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*On October 1st, 2003, the English-language imageboard site &#039;&#039;&#039;[[4chan]]&#039;&#039;&#039; was launched by an American fan of Futaba Channel who went by the online handle &#039;&#039;[[moot]]&#039;&#039;. moot had initially created an English-translated version of GazouBBS with the help of others&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20220227014722/http://w2ch.14get.heliohost.org/dramabomb.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, but it was quickly swapped out for a translated version of Futaba&#039;s imgboard.php once he realized that it was available.&lt;br /&gt;
*On October 15th, 2003, Futaba Channel renamed their imgboard.php script to &#039;&#039;futaba.php&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
*On December 22nd, 2003, the initial version of the &#039;&#039;Futallaby&#039;&#039; script—a translated and modified version of futaba.php— is released on &#039;&#039;[https://www.1chan.net/ 1chan.net]&#039;&#039;, an imageboard site centered around the topic of trains.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20040602192557/http://www.1chan.net/futallaby/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This would go on to become a prominent script in the West and the basis of many future imageboard scripts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====2004====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*On January 3rd, 2004, an updated version of Futallaby is released that is rewritten by &#039;&#039;terra&#039;&#039; (not to be confused with the Japanese Terra) to use valid XHTML and CSS. The burichan style is added, as used on terra&#039;s [https://web.archive.org/web/20040218054729/http://burichan.pyoko.org/ Burichan] imageboard site, which describes itself as &amp;quot;Gay 4chan&amp;quot;. An adaption of this style would be added to 4chan later in the year.&lt;br /&gt;
*On April 21st, 2004, another modified version of futaba.php is created called &#039;&#039;Siokara&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;span lang=&amp;quot;ja&amp;quot;&amp;gt;しおから&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;), which contains many additional features; animated GIF thumbnails, automatic URL linking, a forced sage function, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
*At some point prior June 5th, 2004, a modified version of futaba.php named &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/20040605122948/http://moepic.dip.jp:80/gazo/script/index.php moeren]&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;span lang=&amp;quot;ja&amp;quot;&amp;gt;萌え連&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;) is published on the &#039;&#039;[https://web.archive.org/web/20040413050332/http://moepic.dip.jp:80/gazo/ Moeren]&#039;&#039; site. It has a white and blue appearance, and has a unique feature where users can vote on the images posted to the board. Images that receive a certain number of &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;white-space:nowrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family:&#039;MS Gothic&#039;,monospace&amp;quot; lang=&amp;quot;ja&amp;quot;&amp;gt;(・∀・)ﾓｴﾀ!!&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; votes get permanently added to the &#039;&#039;Moe count dendou gallery&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;span lang=&amp;quot;ja&amp;quot;&amp;gt;萌えカウント殿堂ギャラリー&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;; Moe-count hall of fame gallery).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Decline==&lt;br /&gt;
In Japan, the format&#039;s popularity peaked during the [[2000s]], while in the West it peaked during the late 2000s and early [[2010s]]. Over the course of the 2010s, the popularity of the format decreased significantly due to the rise of [[Social networking sites|social networking sites]] (SNS) and other services that supported the convenient hosting and sharing of media files. Due to this, many formerly active imageboard sites have been discontinued or have lost many of their former users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Regional differences==&lt;br /&gt;
In Japan, most imageboards are primarily used for sharing images—usually [[pr0n|pr0nz]] and other erotic materials, but everything from [[Anime|anime]] to [[Cats|cat pictures]] are common too. Generally speaking, Japanese imageboard users appear to treat imageboards as places to share images rather than to hold lengthy discussions or debates—social interactions between the users are usually kept to a minimum, though to what extent varies from site to site.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On English-language imageboards, discussions and user interactions typically take an equal or higher priority to the posting of images. This difference in usage is possibly due to real-life cultural differences between Japanese and English-speakers, but it may also be due to imageboards in the West being known more for the anonymity they provide rather than their ability to share images. In the West, most bulletin boards require some form of registration and username, so the anonymity provided by imageboards is a novelty. In Japan, registration-less bulletin boards are the norm, so anonymity is not a &amp;quot;selling point&amp;quot; of imageboards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Other differences===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In the West, users use quotelinks to convey which post they&#039;re responding to, and they quote portions of the text body if they wish to respond to a specific portion. In Japan, quotelinking was never a feature on imageboards, so imageboard users typically quote the text body, image filename, or post number in order to convey what they&#039;re responding to. Futaba Channel has a function that displays the original post in a little window when hovering over a quote.&lt;br /&gt;
*In the West, &amp;quot;imageboard&amp;quot; usually refers to the website as a whole rather than to the site&#039;s imageboards themselves. In Japan, individual boards are typically referred to as being gazou keijiban, and the website that hosts the imageboards is just called a site.&lt;br /&gt;
