What are /b/'s thoughts on having a thread dedicated to the history of Imageboards? Lately I've been cataloging my old chan folders, and in order to do it accurately, I've had to scour a lot of archives and old personal wiki sites; and whenever I do this, it never ceases to blow me away at how the foundation of so many weeb-centric wikis, boorus and so on are connected to random imageboards from the 03-06 range.

I basically want this thread to be a roundtable, where we discuss the origins of small-time Imageboards, where questions like "who was the founder" and "what IB/group/board general did this site splinter off from" are answered.
I'll start things off by asking about the origin of a board I've seen advertised on here that looks pretty nice: https://hikari3.ch/

you can still read old SA/4chan drama on some kareha board's archive
I didn't watch the video because I don't really care, early 4chan was a fun place but there is nothing that makes the actions of individual people involved in early 4chan that special :sweat2:

It's a board made by a Heyuri user some years ago, we have a wiki page on them that's yet to be fleshed out

For general history of imageboards including developments in 90s Japan, read this article: https://wiki.heyuri.net/index.php?title=Imageboard

Almost regret linking to that vid since it's a divisive ultracrepidarianist rant by a dude who, albeit was around since the beginning, has made it his mission in life to make people on the internet angry, and it could very easily derail it or outright discourage people from posting :sweat:
I'm pretty well informed when it comes to the general history of the proto-2ch, mid-90s underground bbs scene. This thread in particular is about imageboards influenced by 4chan, which is essentially all of them, with the exception of the Japanese ones, and the Asian ones inspired by those (ACG boards and the like)
