Talk:Imageboard

some comments:
- 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?
- 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.
- In later articles that go into culture, these images may come in handy:

- 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 "literature" on this stuff was, LOL

- Definitely. "Textboard" in particular... I want to demolish that stupid n00b term!!
- >In later articles that go into culture, these images may come in handy
- 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
- 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!

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't bring in absurd conflicts). --Kaguya (talk) 07:00, 22 May 2022 (EDT)
- I don't see the point in copying material from other wikis (or inviting their authors to HHS) unless its Japanese-only material that's never been (or has rarely been) documented in English before. Surely the goal of the Heyuri Historical Society is not to just copypaste or mirror things from elsewhere, but to do our own research and write articles from a Heyuri perspective... no? Heyuri has long proven to be perfectly capable of this, and are even praised for their digging and research abilities, so it seems a shame to use our wiki just to host a bunch of articles that already exist elsewhere: https://dis.heyuri.net/lounge/koko.php?res=928

Its really cool how many different adventures anons here have taken into the great unknown east. Into japans internet, chartering websites no white man has ever stepped onto before, examining ancient runes, unearthing software never before seen by civilized peoples. Onwards!
