How did you find lainchan?

How did you get to this place? How long have you been on lainchan? How often do you post? >lurkers welcome

since the first day

>>4678 i dont really know i was searching for info about some chaners on 8chan and i ended up here

I've been posting about twice every month since 4/20. >>4680 That's the same way I ended up here.

It was from some 8ch thread that had lain as the image and it was advertising lainchan. i think it was made by kalyx and the thread had a lot of angry anons talking soykaf but i followed the link and I remember reading "we might help you fix your navi if you ask nicely" on /tech/ and I was fuarrrking shocked. coming from 8ch /tech/ and 4/g/ where everyone attacks you for the smallest thing I was suprised to see that and decided I'd give it a shot. Then I fell in love with the cyberpunk CSS and the politeness, quality post, and interests of most lainons.

I honestly don't remember. It was probably through /g/. I've been around for around five or six months. A post every two days is pretty standard. >>4682 I can definitely empathize with that. Before Lainchan, I mainly frequented #/g/punk and scavenged around 4chan trying to find like-minded posters. Something about the atmosphere of this site calms people down. Love you, Lains.

>>4682 >>4683 > Politeness > Atmosphere Lainchan's a friendly place, for which I'm very thankful :) So I watched Lain for the first time around…May last year. Found out about mebious.co.uk and .mobi from sheer curiosity surrounding the famous coolant pipe, and then…Was it reddit? Was it mobi? Not sure. But I found this place. Been here for a year (on/off) and I post maybe once a week. Peace

>>4678 A friend showed me last year after I showed him the anime Lain, he always wondered what the girl on the front of the site was from haha.

4chan/g/. In a functional programming thread people were talking about how cool /λ/ is. Lainchan was still very new.

Via 8chans cyberpunk board. I amnot a wizzard,most programming threads are too hardcore for my little brain,but i really like it here.

>>4678 I found it through the old /g/ cyber threads

reddit/r/cyberpunk i can't remember how i found that though, and i don't really lurk it much. far less than this place..

I started watching Lain about ~2 months ago, and I remembered hotwheels tweeting about streaming with the lainchan admins. I searched for you on ED to read up on the site, but finding no article, I decided to just try to lurk, and soak in the atmosphere. It's bretty nice here. I rarely post, as I still don't quite have the hang of being polite, and friendly on image boards. I never did finish Lain. Pls no ban.

>>4696 >never finished lain

I`m here since last year at the beginning of autumn. When exactly, I have no idea. I found a person whitch I talked about it on the sekrit board of krautchan.

i browsed ever since nullchan was alive, this place was better anyway. so about the first week it came alive.

>How did you get to this place?How long have you been on lainchan? I was browsing some channels on a streaming website when i saw some users talking about lainchan.That was earlier this year. >How often do you post? i only come to lain 2-3 times a week,and i only post if i can contribute with the thread.

from 4chan's /g, i think i've been on lainchan since may 2014, and this might be my first post (ok, no, but i almost never do it anyway)

>>4701 krautchan has a sekrit board? i used to lurk it but it wad really depressing

Pretty much from the beginning, when it got discussed on 4chan. Im actually surpised (and glad) that this place took off. I visit every few days and make one or two posts.

>>4682 >>4689 People aren't any nicer. They just don't troll or respond to trolls.

DDG.

I found it a few months ago in a Lain thread on 4chan/a/, i think. I don't remember anyone specifically talking about it but i'm pretty sure that's where i saw it.

4chan's hidden board

I dont really know at all. I feel like it was mentioned on some other imageboard but I can't remember at all

>>4738 Didn't know that even existed. Not like I should though as a RARELY go there.

I don't really remember- too high on dissociatives but now that I think of it was a chan, 420 or 8chan probably. That was about 5 months ago roughly. Finally got tired of the inner chans so I'll probably stay out here in the cold dark abyss of the outer chans

Since more than a year. I discovered it probably on a post on 4/g/.

Someone mentioned it on 420chan in a thread about what other Chan's people browse, I'vebeen bbrowsing 420chan since 06 and started coming here at the beginning of this year, I hardly ever go to 420chan now. I'm come here every day and post maybe 4-5 times a week. Oh and I watched SEL like 3 years ago.

I heard it in 4chan/g/. When there were a daily /cyb/ thread. I dunno. I dont usually post, im always busy with something, so i just check it 10 min daily before i go to sleep.

>>4678 I came here a couple of months ago from 8chans /cyb/, which i dropped after i discovered this place. I post a couple of times a month, I mostly lurk around. This place is chill.

>>4738 Yeah, same here

I heard about it from 8ch /cyber/ and because 8ch post quality has been down recently and there's a soykafload of drama I decided to check it out. It's comfy here.

I came from 8chan too, saw an ad on /cyber/. Like a lot of smaller image boards the post quality is decent.

I heard about lainchan at wizchan a few months ago. It's a shame this board and the whole page in general is mostly dead. The only place to discuss electronics is 4chan's /diy/, but I'm starting to hate it more and more. [Spoiler]Specially after getting permab&[Spoiler/] I have a lot to offer, but there's nobody here share electronics with. This is my second post, but I'll actively post in /diy/ if things get better, I might open an electronics thread to get things going.

>>4710 Yes, it has. But this board is in German. I know what you mean, and it`s soykafty also. Not a nice place.

I dont know. I know it was earlier than the exodus though.

>>4678 somebody advertised this place on /8lounge/ some time ago and due to recent drama on 8ch I ended up here to check the vibe

Through 4/g/ cyberpunk threads. I learned about this place in April, but have only been lurking regularly since September, because of the Lisp general.

>How did you get to this place? It is referenced many times in hispachan. >How long have you been on lainchan? Around 4 months. >How often do you post? I'm mostly a lurker because of language barrier, maybe 1 post/month. /λ/ and /tech/ are my favorite boards.

I was looking for a smaller chan that had tech/g discussion and someone recommended here. I post as often as I can.

>How did you get to this place? it was mentioned on 4/g a few times. >How long have you been on lainchan? 2-3 weeks i think >How often do you post? this is my second post.

Came from 8ch/tech/. Been lurking for a couple months.

>>4678 >How did you get to this place? 4 Chan... 4 ch..

8/cyber/

/g/

>>5124 Pretty much the same here.

I saw this on my IRL friendsa as we were just finishing up watching Lain for the first time. He showed me it was a nice image board and I've loved every moment of it since.

On a lain thread in a Brazilian IB.

I probably found this place on /g/ like most other people, I've probably been here since around the time I was getting sick of 4chan's community and was trying to find somewhere new to go. So maybe a year or a little more. I visit here every day and read whatever new stuff has been posted. Not the most talkative person around here, though. I only post when I really have something to say. Maybe 1-2 times a week, depends on what discussions are active.

first time here I don't even know what this is supposed to be... do you guys just fantasise about cifi? I'm ok with that.

>>5327 we also do drugs and dream about scifi

Don't remember where, but someone posted link to jinteki.industries in a cyberpunk thread. I was hooked instantly

>How did you get to this place? I came from hispachan, yup im a spanish-speaker, but im from latinoamerica. It caught my attention when in a blog file the admin (zeta) said that lainchan is the most advanced IB and i was like "woah i have to see it". >How long have you been on lainchan? Im sooo newfag here like only 2 months. >How often do you post? I've never posted here, i prefer to lurk by now.

>>5332 Oh, and also when i was into anime and that stuffs (no weeb) i found Lain, and i rly liked it so when i heard "lainchan" well i said "you must visit that IB"

That weird fileroom

>>5332 what has your experience been so far?

I AM BUT A SMALL WORM-LIKE CREATURE[S] WITH NO NATURAL COGNIVITIES OF MY OWN BUT MY MICRO-WORM SENSES AND WORM-MICR0-SANITY LED ME TO THIS PLACE...? IT... IT IS AN UNCONTROLLED EXPERIMENT. THIS PLACE. IT MAY ONE DAY BECOME A GIANT BRAIN THAT THIS WORM MAY WRIGGLE ABOUT WITHIN.

got here from a friend's suggestion. been here for probably 8 months now. rarely post because I don't have much/any thing worthwhile to say.

>>5503 Oh come on, you can't say that, matey! Even though you start your sentences without capitalization, you are still probably a worthwhile addition to this place!

I was on 4ch since REDACTED and really just couldn't deal with the user base anymore. As I wandered the vast and mostly dead space in the ruins of allchan I found this site and just stored it in the back of my brain. Then tumblr finally killed /g/ (among other things) and I had to find a new home. The hatred and trolling of REDACTED finally spilled out to the entire site and I couldn't even find that needle in the haystack anymore so I came here again and started reading through the threads and fell in love with the passion and sensible humor of the users. I was a heavy poster on /g/ and was on it for many hours a day, as I work in IT so I have lots of time to browse but have only recently dedicated myself to lain and have slowed down a lot in content as I acclimate myself to the boards. I have been posting on /c/ and /w/ mostly as a have a lot of content that people are looking for and hoping to draw a few more unknowing lainons who will not soykaf up the boards. I also really enjoy the ability to share PDFs with the post and think its a awesome feature, as well as hope to conintue to teach myself λ and help out with the site itself soon.

cyberpunk generals on /g/, though I didn't actually go here much until /g/ became unbearably soykafty. I'm glad I came here though.

Someone name dropped it on 7chan a year and a half ago. Been here ever since. >>4760 I was one of those people that did a mention there. I recall that I just dropped a picture of lain with a slightly inconspicuous reply.

I saw this place on tumblr 's /g/ board, but I forgot about it for some reason. /cyb/erpunk didn't interest me at the time... Until I realised I was living in the age of /cyb/erpunk.

When thugboy.com got DDoS'ed for the 1st time HW put up a few links to here, that's how I got here. Haven't been on /cyber/ or any other thugboy.com board except /abdl/ lately, chans are getting boring imo. Shame there are absolutely no good forums left, nearly all of them have fallen to circle-jerking, normalfag infestations, rulefagging or just died out.

I got to this place from tumblr sometime last year. First I migrated to thugboy.com but quickly realized that it was full of nonfat-soykaf drinkers and manchildren. At the time I only lurked here because I'm not comfortable posting somewhere until I'm familiar with its community. I wanted an imageboard more in line with my interests specifically and with a higher post quality. I started posting infrequently earlier this year and I've begun being a bit more active recently. I probably average 2-4 posts a day.

>>5045 I can't tell if this is bait or not since I don't browse 4chn much

>>5566 jumping spiders are cute

found out about it through thugboy.com /cyber/ and jinteki.industries. been here for a few months. i haven't posted though, i want to make sure i completely understand the site first.

>>4678 Someone mentioned it on 8ch/tech/. I found that this place has a much better community than 8ch and never looked back.

Heard from /g/sicp channel. A few months. Not so often, then again I mainly just lurk at /lambda/.

>>4678 looked for a cyberpunk radio, i guess the redirection to lain.io originated from one of the /prog/ succesors

I googled lainchan looking for pics of Lain

>>4714 While that's true, it is pretty comfy here. People don't attack others. If you look at /g/, people are generally not nice even if they aren't trolling. >>4738 Wtf is that Came here through ad on either 4chan/g/ or 8chan/tech/ idk which

>>5672 >Wtf is that /z/, /fk/, /5/ and /yg/ (those were the ones that I know) they're dead now though

>>5673 DOBT GOTO /Z/

>>5673 i know about /z/ and /fk/, what was on /5/ and /yg/?

I was talking on /g on 4chan how I wanted to make my own board which would be like techloli/g/y. Full of anime, non-normie technology and Linux. Then someone told me: That is basically lainchan.

>>5671 cant believe this is seemingly the rarest cause i usually lurked 4chan and never had interest in other chans despite knowledge of their existence had SEL on my watchlist for a long time, one day i sat down and binged it whatthefuarrrkdidijustwatch.zip had to find as much information on Lain as possible and searched google for anything lain related and happened to find lainchan skimmed through the boards and thought what a dead soykafhole this is, but listened to the radio for 2 months eventually started lurking as this whole site calms me down even though i am not interested in pretty much anything that is discussed here my new home

>>5735 welcome to your new home. you can stay forever, but you may never leave.

Found it thought a cyberpunk thread on /v/. I love the word-of-mouth spread. It's perfect. And it only took me further down the rabbit hole.

Initially discovered it after watching serial experiments maybe a year or two ago. I picked it up since I was told it was a sufficiently thought-provoking seinen, and one of the best out there to begin with. I have no interest in the slice-of-life chibi cutesy moe soykaf so obviously it didn't disappoint. I didn't give lainchan much thought because to me it seemed like a ded bored, perhaps gone the way of 7chan, as I was accustomed to the lighting posting speed of 4chan. Since that soykafhole had lost my interest long ago I hadn't been frequenting any chans much until after migrating to 8ch in September. Word of lainchan came about there once again, and I've been here ever since. I've come to appreciate slower boards now and by extension slower chans. They are far less heavy ice and actually give you the chance to have real conversations. I pop in here on occasion.

I installed Overchan on my phone originally to browse 4chan. Lainchan comes up on the list of image boards browsable through the app, and I decided to have a look around.

I discovered lainchan when it was talked about on /cyber/

>>4678 >How did you get to this place? How long have you been on lainchan? A "what are other chans you go to" thread on 4/qa/, which would be a few months ago. >How often do you post? Even if I include this, I have less than 5 posts. Always been more of a lurker.

4chan, and now thanks to some 8chan board I got an app that lets me post in here.

I don't recall the exact date, but I showed up here fairly early on, after a thread about it was made on 4chan/g/. I think one of my first posts broke the /t/ board, right before it was removed. Anyway, I posted quite regularly for a while, but have kinda stopped since. I still occasionally show up and post a bit though, maybe once every few months.

It was some months ago, I looked through some 8chan boards to see if there are german ones that interest me (yes I do that twice a year) and then browsed through some /tech/ threads seeing people having lainchan on their homepage. I went here and fell in love, though I had stopped using imageboards at that time because they all seemed soykaf. I don't post that much but I always post whenever I really have something to say.

>>5776 Overchan?

>>5101 >the whole page in general is mostly dead I don't like this feeling, that something can be dead when its life is just beginning. I do not think many new communities can form in it.

>>5101 >I heard about lainchan at wizchan a few months ago. Me too, my fellow wiznog, me too. For me it's a bit longer than a few months. Not bragging, btw. >It's a shame this board and the whole page in general is mostly dead. It needs some time until the community has grown a bit more so that there is finally a satisfying amount of activity on this board, I think.

Few months ago, there was thread on /g/ with little replies, but somebody was redirecting to Lain. I am trying to post as often as I can, without soykaf drinking.

>>5796 >without soykaf drinking Makes me wonder how widespread alcoholism is in this community.

>>5799 Why?

>>5791 >It's a shame this board and the whole page in general is mostly dead. idk probably im wrong but i think that its because of the colours of the site. i mean, when i read the lainons in my head i listen them distant and whispering and that doesn't motivate me to post something. I think the colours should change but not too much, just a little :)

>>5804 there are multiple themes you can choose from. I recommend the Cyberpunk one. Change them on the bottom right corner

>>5805 >there are multiple themes you can choose from. I recommend the Cyberpunk one. Cyberpunk is good, and I really like forest. There's even Yotsuba and Yotsuba B if you're so inclined.

>>5805 oh thanks, im so newfagg i thought this was the only IB that has only one theme.

december or january I'm not sure If I have intarnetz and all I come here a couple times a day I love you guys

Quick question, does this site have a catalog like 4chan does? If so, I would like to know. Sorry, just found out about this website like 4 days ago.

>>5899 Click on a random board then click on "catalog" in the little menu at the bottom.

>>5900 thank you

>>5900 this one? I don't see it... Maybe I'm just retarded.

>>5902 You're still in a thread. Try something like https://lainchan.org/zzz/index.html

>>5903 fuarrrk I'm retarded. OK, found it.

I had the radio page on my music bookmarks for almost a year but somehow never checked the site attached to it until a few days ago. It seems comfy here, although the heavy-handed moderation is a bit worrying.

>>5907 What are you referring to when you say Heavy-Handed moderation?

>>5908 Seeing pages filled with red ban messages everywhere is unnerving to say the least: >>>/r/10621 is one example of this. Global rules 2-4 are good in principle but are very subjective which gives a lot of power to the mods' discretion. I also disagree with the idea of randomly deleting boards because "it's dead lol" especially when the site's users are still interested in the boards' topics >>5693 And every discussion of lainchan I've seen on other websites has had someone mention their disdain for kalyx, but this is just hearsay of course.

>>5909 Agree 100% with everything in this post, especially wrt bans and ESPECIALLY wrt dead boards.

>>5909 I just find it a very refreshing change from other imageboards

>>5909 Listen man I'll be completely honest with you. Most bans for things other than ovbiois spam and inappropriate pictures of children are discussed in the mod irc channel before they're ever enacted. We're not trying to be tyrants, and really want what is best for this website. If you have a problem, feel free to drop into #lainchan on freenode and talk to us about it. Most of us are completely reasonable people most of the time just like anyone else, and we check one another if we're ever off base. There are good people here with legitimate concerns about heavy handed moderation who are reasonable, polite people who use the proper channels to check us. I'm very glad these people exist, because they're just another way to keep us on track. There are also those who try to sow discontent. They come from another imageboard, soykafpost, and then get really pisses off when then are warned by the moderators (derezzed for zero seconds so a message appears before they can post again). They then proceed to spam the site about how "the mods are fag ten year olds on powers trips" and this creates a vicious circle. Don't be a whiney baby. Be a useful member of the board that checks us through appropriate channels when they need to. We're very open to constrictive criticism. Regarding the deleted boards, we did hold a vote before removing any of the boards on the board list. This isn't 8chan, we don't hgave a million boards. Gotta slim to survive, baby.

>>5909 i did not realize you would rather be on an imageboard where the threads are allowed to suck. the mods have proven themselves to be trustworthy plenty of times.

I'm kind of surprised to see this many people who are also refugees from 8chan. Count me among them. I still have hopes for 8chan to at least be able to continue without straight-up dying due to lack of usership and rising server costs, but goddamn that site is turning to soykaf at an alarming rate. It's really sad when comparing it to the first few months, when it felt a bit like old 4chan again, for a brief and beautiful moment. But now, the whole website is becoming increasingly dominated with 4chan-tier soykaf drinking, board drama, website drama (muh SJW boogeyman! muh reddit boogeyman!), and, perhaps worst of all, the inane stormbabby /d/iaperyps militantly soykaf drinking on every board their greasy hands can find in the board list. Even 8/cyber/ hasn't been spared of this, among the many other problems that board has. I'm not saying of course that stormbabbies aren't allowed to exist on a *chan and should be excluded if they're being reasonable and contributing decent content, but they can literally only communicate in memes and seem to be hellbent on turning all of 8chan into their right wing extremist hugbox. And they're winning. Even on /leftypol/, people seem to not understand the concept of saging and ignoring nonfat-soykaf drinkers. And because 8chan has their whole MUH RADICAL LIBERTARIAN FREEDOM thing going on, the amount of moderation on the site as a whole is sorely lacking. Again, not that I support fascist mods banning everyone in sight for violating one of hundreds of rules (or just posting things in disagreement with the mods' personal beliefs, in the case of 4chan by now), but the users can only do so much to combat nonfat-soykaf drinkers and raids. /rant. I like it here.

>>5925 would like to mention that there's a few nonstaff in #lainchan-dev (where bans are discussed) as well

>>4678 I literally just came here today, your sight owner guy is wage slave ing this place in a battlestation thread on 4/g/. It seems nice around here, slow as soykaf like all the alt chans but the quality of posting seems really high. Might stick around.

>>5909 I just came here but all those guys were derezzed because of things it says not to do outside of /q/ on the rules: >calling people newfags >going on about 8chan >going on about the site owner

>>5957 How do you know it's him? People tend to impersonate kalyx around the chans

>>4701 Just like this guy, through kc's sekrit board. If there are any Bernds here not knowing about it yet: /keller/

>>5959 I don't really, I just assumed. Either way, here I am!

>>5960 It's at times like this I wish I spoke German.

Someone was complaining about how bad this place was on mebious.mobi.

>>5978 what do you think?

Been here about a week i geuss I came here after seeing that post about john mcafee holding a lainchan sticker on /g/. So i wanted to know what it was. Googled now I'm here

Literally 10 minutes ago. I figured this would be the right board for a quick impression. Seems like a nice place. >>4738 Same

Another one from the hidden board reporting in. came to be hipster, stayed because it was comfy. feels nice i guess, taking a break from all the brewing soykaf going on everywhere else.

someone was trying to make me watch lain very hard, so i complained to someone else about how he's not fuarrrking off already. someone else mentioned that there's also a 'lainchan'. i postponed checking it out until i watched lain so i could avoid spoilers. this was late may last year.

I have no idea how I got here or how long ago. I mostly lurk.

I found this place yesterday. It's way better here than 8ch. Less moralfags and more genuine interest in things I actually enjoy. So this is going to be my new home. I'll try to never shitpost here. Just will occasionally say something uneducated and hopefully someone would be able to correct me in a correct fashion.

>>6137 > less moralfags than on 8ch What. Literally what. Moralfags. On 8chan. Oh, I get it. It's a joke. ...right?

>>6138 Gamergate is a form of moralglitterboyry just as Chanology was. The whole crux of the Gamergate thing was "there's wrongdoing in game journalism going on". I know, it seems odd when you take into account how many assholes are on 8chan. That'd be the horseshoe effect (the further to the end of the political spectrum you are, the more your mirror the "opposite" site).

I saw a post about lainchan on 8chan's /tech/ (or was it somewhere else?). As I had been growing tired of 8chan and its drama, I was curious. I came here and never looked back. I mostly lurk though.

>>6138 >>6139 Yeah, the whole gamergate thing wore me out cause I never cared about it in the first place.

I found this place last April, but I haven't posted here very often. I like your radio though

>how did you get to this place? From 8chan's /cyber/. I've been pretty uninformed about technology most of my life and recently I've decided to delve deeper into it because it's a good way to exercise my mind and it's interesting all of a sudden. >how long have you been on lainchan? How often do you post? A couple of months. I mostly lurk. This is my second post. I don't have much to add to the discussion yet.

>>6139 That might make sense since I don't follow that shíte and have no idea what happens there.

Thread on /g/ about users scripts which mentioned lainchan. Had a few pics of Petsu-chan/Emacs girl? in it. First post and mainly lurk /cyb/&/tech/.

>>6150 >TFW was one of the people in that thread posting pictures of petsu Sage for offtopic.

>>6150 Welcome. She is real btw.

I came here /g/ somebody posted a link to the zine.

>>6153 This was my first post, I've been lurking for a few days, and listening to the radio

It was mentioned on 8chan. I like it better here. *goes back to lurking*

>>6155 Same here. Saw this ad on /tech/ today, presumably someone dropped $5 on it.... The radio's nice here, I might stick around.

>>4689 I remember 8ch being pretty polite in the beginning, too. Unfortunately, the more people that come, the worse it gets. **whatever happened to /l/, anyways?**

>>6186 >**whatever happened to /l/, anyways?** I heard through the digital grapevine that Kalyx was trying to quit watching porn so he purged /l/ and /cl/. The dangers of porn addiction are nothing to scoff at but I still think it was a weak move on his part. That's the running theory anyways. I don't think the official announcement a few months back gave any reason other than "we're not a porn site and we're not trying to become one".

>>6186 Well as long as they line up more good mods alongside the growth then it'll be okay. If someone keeps getting post deleted he will either change his ways or be derezzed. It's nice that you can report brewing soykaf and see the post being deleted promptly. Kudos to the mods for being good. >>6187 There are other chans for porn. I kind of like the limited amount of boards here.

It was probably through /g/.

>>6187 It was both.

I found Lainchan when I was reading desudesutalk docs.

Sometime last week I suddenly realised how much I hated 4chan & all its bullsoykaf. I clicked around a number of other imageboards I vaguely remembered the names of, looking for somewhere else to lurk/post and eventually found lainchan. Loving it so far & I hope it continues to be good. At any rate it'll be better for my mental health than 4chan ever was. This is my first post.

I had just watched Lain and used to really bounce around chans. Thank you guys for making this.

Someone namedropped lainchan on 8chan /b/ or /tech/. It was one of those threads asking what other sites besides 8chan people piss away their lives on. Been here a month or two, not sure, I mainly lurk, don't post much.

Someone on /mu/ linked the radio. I'm not that much of an info litterate, but I always liked cyberpunk aesthetics and lived with friends afraid of a dystopian future. Also according to the homepage (which I verified shorlty after wasn't bullshit), the posters here are pretty chill. That alone make this site a good one.

In the /cyber/ of 8ch.

>>4678 Found it when it had been up for two weeks and decided I would stay. It was probably a post on 4chan/g/ that got me interested and I haven't gone back to /g/ since. This place s much better.

I watched Lain for the first time recently (i've never been into anime before and lately i decided to catch up a little with all that soykaf) and i immediately loved it, so i went digging the Wired for interesting related stuff, soundtracks, etc, and i ended up finding link to lainchan in comments section on YT.

found it on overchan but like some other guys said here have seen in on 8chan and krautchan. i've visited on and off but frankly i'm tired of those places and wanted to retreat to somewhere that was quieter permanently. looks like i may even get back into computers you guys are so cool.

I hope you guys from 8chan don't bring your soykaf here.

I've come from uboachan, even though I myself barely use it

A few months. Someone mentioned lainchan on 420chan's /prog/ iirc. I decided to check it out and I've been lurking ever since. This place is great :3

Someone mentioned it on /w/ in a lain thread. I think it was about December last year.

I suppose I "originate" from Uboachan, though I found this website quite a while before the link between the two was formed, as a sense of alienation from the former has driven me to seek out a new community in which to reside and participate. I don't exactly remember how I came across lainchan, but I very much like the overall atmosphere here, in terms of both the general demeanor of the posters and the subject matter of the boards. In terms of time, I've visited here for at least the past five or six months. I've chiefly been lurking, though I've made a few odd posts here and there. I'd like, however, to start posting and contributing more frequently.

>>6758 how people use uboa is beyond me, the userstyle makes my eyes bleed

>>4678 I just came across is one day after my first rewatch of Serial Experiments Lain, i left it alone seeing how the people here knew more than me about computers. Later on i met kalyx in a chatroom and found out he was the owner and now i just lurk.

>>5299 s...same...

/tech/ on 420chan. Still a regular at 420chan. Great site full of liberal arts college students and wwe white trash.

Found it today, first post now. Looks like a fun site, so I'll probably stay for awhile.

a few months. i found this place from some site with a chan in the name. i love desktop threads / unixporn. but i was pissed about all the pedantic arguments where every answer was just a regurgitated meme, not any real thought involved. lain as been a breath of fresh air.

Found it listed on overchan a long time ago, been lurking ever since.

>>5325 What image board, 55chan ?

>>6801 >Great site full of liberal arts college students and wwe white trash. Believe it or not, the "wwe white trash" on /wooo/ are in fact mostly liberal arts college students as well. The old stereotype of all wrestling fans being backward rednecks has always been off base, but especially now in the 21th Century when the biggest cities for wrestling in America are New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago, none of which are in the south.

Speaking of other chans, what is going on with 8chan?

>>7090 sounds like soykaf I don't want to deal with how can we keep them out?

>>7090 That's art.

>>7090 Never change 8chan. Never change...

>>4678 I found this through 8ch /cyb/. Had a nose around and instantly felt comfy. >>5503 You sir are the ideal poster.

>>5805 Ok, that is a nice feature... not bad. I came here because I need to know as much as I can about everything. This is but one stop on my journey thru the various chans.

>>4678 heard about it on 4chans /g/ about two months ago and started lurking once in a while, i don't post much though.

February or March 2015. There was a browser homepage thread on 8ch with Lainchan links on it. I post around 1-5 times a day.

I didn't find lainchan lanchain found me.

>>7263 >tfw

Some drama I have already forgotten about was happening on 8chan and as usual people were talking about leaving. I wasn't considering leaving 8chan but I was curious about other chans. Checked a few suggestions out and they were soykaf then someone mentioned Lainchan. They described it as "comfy" so I checked out /tech/ and /cyb/ and quickly discover the "cyberpunk" theme which just makes the site look sexy as fuarrrk. I have been browsing /tech/ ever since and although it's slow it's a nice board and I have no complaints about it. I browse /tech/ every single day and love when there are new posts to read. Then yesterday or the day before (I haven't got a lot of sleep lately so I really don't know which) I saw a thread saying that /tech/ might close down and then later there was a thread by a moderator saying that /tech/ had sinned and needed to be more of a hugbox. So I came to this board to see what people were saying about it. And that is my complete Lainchan history because I'm a filthy newfag.

>>7286 Hey anon, try CatChan and give feedback. See >>>/λ/10997

>>7286 it's okay, just because you're new doesn't make you dirty. the homosexual part I can only let you speak for yourself but I don't think you should feel bad about it. the problems kalyx is having with tech is that there's too much /g/ and 8/tech/ culture still and not enough discussion of actual technology. we're still trying to figure out a solution, but what the users can do to help is report posts that violate the rules and make sure they don't violate the rules either

>>7344 >the homosexual part I can only let you speak for yourself but I don't think you should feel bad about it kek I never said I was gay but I am bi so I guess that makes you half right.

>>7315 Sounds good I'll check it out soon, have to leave for now :)

first time visit nice community BUT where is muh /cyb mu/ board

>>4678 Don't recall. Was pretty much happenstance.

Summmerfag, sent here by /leftypol/. Mostly lurk - trying to get a hang of hardware until I start making a new computer.

I just got here today. A friend of mine showed me this chan at a party last night and I've been browsing it all day, mostly downloading books and reading /cyb/. Also the cyberpunk theme and the music on radio are cool as fuarrrk. This is my first post (of many, I hope).

I got here from the old wizardchan site in early 2014. Lain was slooooooowww back then lol. I probably posted more back then because I wanted a faster board, but now I hardly post. I used lainchan early on to explore my software and computer preferences, but now I don't think about these things often. I keep my setup simple.

>>7670 have you checked out any of the other boards?

>>7673 I've been to all of the boards at some point, but sometimes the topics are to deep for me, or I have a better alternative on another site. I don't use /w/ for example since I have a close group of people to talk about anime with elsewhere.

I found it ages ago googling about Serial Experiments Lain, but only started regularly visiting it about a half a year ago. I use DuckDuckGo now.

>>5804 I actually really like the dark theme. It's very calming to me.

>>5799 >>>/drg/18

On Halloween I was on /g/, someone had enough of the nip nong CSS gimmicks and said "this board is shit, I'm off to lainchan" And now I'm mostly here

>>4678 Was looking for a new laptop for work. Found a thread on here a long time ago about thinkpads. Havent left since :)

>>7696 image is a neets worst nightmare

wizardchan

>>7741 lol i think its everyone’s worst nightmare.

>>4696 Get to it, then.

A friend told me about it, I suppose he found about it on 4chan's /g/. I like it, it's chill, not full of retards, not full of bait. I would actually donate If I wasn't poor as fuarrrk.

I was hunting for the serial experiments chan a few weeks ago which I thought was on serialexperiments.org or something and this place was a top search result. Anybody got a list of the hidden boards? Apart from /test/ I only managed to locate /ht/ and that board seems useless/dead

I was getting sick of 4chan, was long sick of people, and by extension was becoming sick of the internet in general. I'd seen that there were a lot of Lain / wired themed sites, and thought it was unusual. I think I just searched "lainchan" for the hell of it, and sure enough... Serial Experiments Lain is one of my all time favorites, I thought there might be people who are easier to get along with if they shared this. I rarely post. I like places with a smaller population, but the slower rate is a bit too slow. I can remember exactly what threads I plan to watch, but don't always actually do so. Mostly listen to the radio.

I was sort of looking for new chans to post on, and I ended up here. I really like this place. My main problem with places like Masterchan and 8chan is I feel as though they're trying to be the next 4chan, which is fine I guess, but Lainchan has it's own Identity that really makes it stand out from the crowd. Whereas other chans take their content from one of the many era's of 4chan, Lainchan just does it's own thing. Which I can really respect.
