Are there any 4chan historians on /qa/ that can tell me about

/n/ - trains
/n/ - nature
/n/ news
/new/ - news(co-opted by swarmfront)
/n/ - transportation

/new/ and /r9k/ get deleted, the chon is born
/pol/ and /r9k/ get brought back, the chon slowly turns into cripplechan

>>439915
Did you ever post on any of the first 3 you listed?
>/n/ - trains
Is that where that old F0PH meme came from? It was a little before my time.

I wonder if anyone remembers when /g/ was Guro

Actually, I sort of wonder about the names of boards now, I know that /g/ is technology because technology in Japanese is Gijutsu (similar to how the weapons board is /k/), but then again, other boards are named after their subject's topic's english name

It's sorta like moot liked using Japanese phrases for board acronyms early on, but after a while said "Fuck it" and dropped that acronym naming convention convention, then again, it was the days when 4chan was to be a direct English counter part to Futaba

I was primarily a /new/fag, so I'll drop some screenshots of /new/ that influenced /pol/ early in its creation. I have a bit of /n/ but its mostly from the textboards.

I'm thinking why there are no records of /n/ is due to its low population and moot randomly axing it when no one gave a shit about the board.

brb gotta find them

>>439934
Does /n/ originally being for trains follow this naming standard? What is the japanese word for trains? what about the word for news? I don't know when /g/ stopped being guro and modern /g/ was made, but it seems like by the time he made /n/ - nature he had started using english naming standards.

>>439937
>I'm thinking why there are no records of /n/ is due to its low population and moot randomly axing it when no one gave a shit about the board.
I go back to /new/ as well and I've never seen even one screenshot in all that time for how often it gets namedropped on /pol/.

>>439925
>Did you ever post on any of the first 3 you listed
no, I lurked /new/ a bit because swarmfront interested me though. it was shit.
>Is that where that old F0PH meme came from?
no, it was a way to combat furfag fridays.
>>439934
I think at a certain point he just stopped giving a fuck, wanted to distance himself from futaba and carve his own path as an english imageboard.
it was probably around the time hackers on steroids became a thing

Compared to today's standards, /new/ was a wellspring of OC and new memes.

>>439951
I haven't seen much of that board tan, but if you're talking about the black haired /new/ tan, he was created a few days after the board was axed. It's a good strategy considering how much of a mess /new/ was.

It's where the /n/ users went (unless some went to the VIP board kek). One was called /newpol/ (pretty much politics) and the other was /newnew/? Had something to do with World News.

>>440885
>/newpol/ and /newnew/
Wow, I didn't even remember their names. I never went to those textboards, although I was an occasional poster on /sjis/. I always heard they were spam anyway. I really appreciate the /n/ screenshots though. I was mostly sure it really existed but there was always the seed of doubt in my mind until I saw these screenshots you're dumping. Keepgoing!

Pic related. moot added /soc/ after axing /r9k/ and /new/. The 4chumblr incident happened before moot decided to axe the two boards. There was even rumor that moot and the tumblr admin were hanging out.

>tumblr goes to /b/ and there's a bit of 4chumblr thing going on

I think moot was leaning towards something back in 2010 if /new/ and /r9k/ users weren't so vicious about their boards being removed.

I find it interesting that at some point moot dropped the japanese naming standard. I guess that was the point at which the site no longer catered exclusively to japanese culture.

>>441435
I do kinda miss the days when a big chunk of the boards fell under the Japanese culture category on the front page (Even boards like /o/, /n and even /t/ and such), and back when you had the simple rule of "It has to be Japanese related" was on a bunch of them
