-/azu/ was an imageboard dedicated to //Azumanga Daioh//, that being a manga and anime series((:fn:>//Azumanga Daioh// was pretty popular on SomethingAwful and [[lb:4chan]] back in the day. It remains popular with so-called 'oldfags'.)). However, the site also allowed content related to //Yotsubato//.\\
-The board had been around for a long time, and it's mentioned semi-frequently among chanverse enthusiasts.\\
-Sometime in March of 2023 ((:fn:>It was still online around the 13th of March, which was when I last checked; it is the 24th as of writing this, and the site is no longer accessible.)) the board went offline. Sometime around August 2023, /azu/ returned.((:ref:>[[https://4-ch.net/iaa/kareha.pl/1439333638/287|I'm an imageboard and online communities otaku – >>287]]))
-**Note**: Yes, I know the images are fucked. No, I'm not fixing it right now. Yes, I will fix it eventually. No, the fix won't be satisfactory.

 ===== Board impressions =====
-[{{https://files.catbox.moe/6uce6e.png?200 |/AZU/ in the flesh}}]
-/azu/'s community appeared to be pretty nice, which gave the board an overall relaxing feel.\\
+[{{img:temp:azu-front.png?200 |/AZU/ in the flesh}}]
-It was a very slow board, being slower than [[lb:Channel4]], which isn't all that surprising considering its niche topic. In addition to this, the top thread was about the /azu/ discord server, which isn't a very chan thing to do.

+This impression is from 2024 and I haven't looked at it more recently.
 ===== Idlechan connection =====
-/azu/ wasn't originally part of the iichan/Wakachan coalitions, but was part of the short revival 'Idlechan', which wasn't actually a coalition.\\
-Despite this, I was told that /azu/ was apparently hosted on Wakachan. I haven't pursued the subject further, so I don't really know what this means, nor have I confirmed it.

     * Previously, there was a note about how I wasn't particularly sad about /azu/'s death compared to [[lb:Kazamatsuri]]. This is because I don't know anything about Azumanga. However, that note is now pointless.

+  * By the way I watched Azumanga and it was...okay. I liked it, but not enough to continue it.
