Now, for serious, I was curious. I browse /toy/ a lot, and although we have a lot of young neet, there is also a lot of older people with stable incomes, and the female population is fairly large, for 4chan standards. I think after /cgl/, is among the boards with more female users, and rival /biz/ for the most money on the bank. They also travel a lot, if all those threads asking for store recomendations are to be believed.

As for /po/, there are rarely threads to talk about something different to request models, /pol/ and /s4s/ shenanigans, so I was curious.

22, M, US, maybe 16 years of paperstuff, I mostly do simple functional papercraft I design myself without computer. Envelopes, boxes, cards, and patterns to be transferred to fabric, leather, metal, and wood. My favorite paper things are usually patterns I make, for fabric or paper. I sharpen tools as my job and every one gets a unique paper protector... now and then I make one I am proud of. I make them very quickly, like paper sketches.

I browse a lot of boards but don't like most of them, ha. The good ones are /wsg/ for giggles, 1chan for pleasant vibes, and /ck/ for hunger and laughs.

This board seems to not generate as much new content as it used to.
