wew You've basically wrote THE book on early imageboard history. I used to hang out with a crew of wannabe IB historians, Bibliotheca Anonoma. It was my dream to write something like this in the 2010s but I was clueless as to how, most of what we knew was hearsay, couldn't even imagine wayback was that useful and translation services weren't anywhere near good.
Seeing someone take the job into a state that may be regarded as complete has made me genuinely happy. Thanks.
