Ohayo 2ch

I'm Anonymous from 4chan and I've been "lurking" there since 2008.
I was curious about 2ch and it's culture, I always wondered what are
the differences between 2ch and 4chan users. In this thred, please ask
me anything you want to know about 4chan and please also write
something about 2ch. Arigato.

I've once visited 4ch and found it very troublesome to read.
You know, past threads are easily be buried under new threads.

Here, you post to a thread, then which rises up to the top.

Besides, there are special browzers for 2ch and easy to find new posts.
I wonder if there is something similar for 4ch?

Each new post in a 4chan's thread rises it on top of the first page (so called "bump").
Usually there's some number of pages. The 0 page has the most recent threads.
Different boards, like /b/ - random and /sci/ - science can be "fast" or "slow".
Slow board is when there aren't many people posting, so the first page doesn't
change that often (/sci/ is slow). Fast boards have many people posting all the time
and whenever you refresh the first page, there are different threads (/b/ is fast).
There's is a "catalog", when you click on it, it shows you all the threads on particular
board, making it easier to find one you're interested int.

"Here, you post to a thread, then which rises up to the top. "
That's exactly the same as on 4chan, unless someone uses "sage" in the email field.
It doesn't "bum" - rise on top by this post.

"Besides, there are special browzers for 2ch and easy to find new posts.

There aren't special browsers, but there are special plugins for browsers.
I don't use them, but I think one of them is named 4chanX.

In my image, 4ch is only for anime and drawing otakus or somebody like that.
In 2ch we can talk about various topics including studies, sports, in each board.
2ch used be considerd as underground website before but nowadays, more and more normal people watch 2channel. Like we love to talk about baseball(especially Japanese professional baseball )and the players which is
most popular sport in Japan.

hmmmm, I didn't know that! Thanks :o)
I should go there to develop my English.

Poland is my first european country, for I'm a Chopin admirer.
(technically Germany .... but just a couple of hours for transit)
I went there as a student, and spent a month mostly in Poznan.

4chan does have many boards about various subjects, including anime, video games,
technology, sports, animals, auto and many, many more. I used to frequently browse
/g/-technology, we usually talk there about GNU/Linux, new consumer electrionics,
NSA spying, configuring desktops to look cool (anime wallpapers and stuff).
Your image of 4chan probably comes from /b/-random. There are some really crazy
people there, but it's just that one board. I'm not a sports person, but there are two
boards just about sports - /sp/, /asp/ - alternative sports and there's also /fit/ -
health and fitness.

4chan also used to be underground, but it got much attention from media about
"Anonymous activists" making it popular now. The quality of posts became lower
after that.

In alternative sports they discuss also martial arts, I trained Karate and Aikido a little
and always wanted to go to Okinawa and learn real Karate from the source. However,
I'd have to first learn the japanese language.

Cześć! Jak się masz?

There's an international board - /int/, you may try there.

I'll probably disappoint you, but I don't know much about classical music. Some people
even argue, if Chopin was Polish or French. On the other hand, I know who Hatsune
Miku is! I was once or twice in Poznań, just a regular city actually. We went with
friends there to participate in a Lego Robot tournament. It was fun.

Yeah, nowadays it's hard to find someone addicted to classical music :o(
Miku sings some classical airs on youtube, though!

The English board is kind of "slow," moreover it's 9am here.
If evening, you would meet more people.
Some are eagar for gaijins to talk with, here in the isolated country.
Come here back in 10 hours :o)
