+====== Chanverse ======
+Chanverse is a term I use to refer to the various anonymous BBS' that exist. Although I also use it to specifically refer to the boards that are aligned with 'chan culture'.\\
+The term is a combination of 'chan' from '2channel' and 'verse', from ‘universal serial bus’.

+===== Foreword =====
+I am a relative newcomer((:fn:>Or 'newfag' in chanspeak.)) to the chanverse. My first visit to a chan was about 4-5 years ago((:fn:>At the time of writing (2023). I had previously written '2-3 years ago', which was in 2021, but I don't remember how accurate even that was.)), and prior to my visit, I knew essentially nothing.\\
+Owing to my status as a newcomer, I have a much smaller interest in chans compared to [[:personal wiki|my peers]], so there isn't all that much chanverse-related content on here.\\
+The chanverse suffers from a lack of activity((:fn:>Outside of the big popular sites like 4chan of course, but many of these big sites either don't appeal to me (Lainchan) or, in the case of 4chan, have declined in quality.)), which makes regularly visiting boards pretty pointless. The only chan I check up on quasi-regularly is [[lb:channel4]], but that amounts to a visit every 2 months or so.\\
+However, 4chan's community have produced other websites that I visit far more regularly, among them being 1d4chan((:fn:>1d4chan is also one of my favorite sites online.)) or the buyf/a/gs guide. I'll (hopefully) get to writing about my favorites at some point.

+===== Trivilinks =====
+  * As [[:personal wiki|my peers]] have much more written on the Chanverse, I will link to their articles on the subjects.
+  * [[http://xiongnu.org/wiki/doku.php?id=internet:chans|Compendium of Personal Ignorance]] article on 'Chans'.
+  * [[https://namelessrumia.heliohost.org/w/doku.php?id=bulletin_board|Nameless Rumia's Wiki]] article on 'Bulletin Boards'.
+  * The CPI and Rumia both have other articles related to the chanverse, which I recommend reading if you're interested in the chanverse.
+  * For a while, I was under the impression that I had coined the term 'chanverse'((:fn:>I must admit however, that despite thinking this, I was //fairly// sure that someone else had used the term before me.)), but I realized that I (probably) borrowed it from a flowchart that explained the history of the 'chanverse', which was created by some anon. I don't have the flowchart on me, and I don't know where I could find it...so that's unfortunate.
