Politics aside, it was well organized, had a better layout than typical imgboards, and had more specific categories. Renchan was also nice, though it lasted about 3 days.

More specific is right. Loli/clean, loli/ecchi, loli/hentai, yuri/loli, loli/feet... Requiring signup was stupid though because part of posting strange and unsavoury categories of porn on the internet is anonymity.
5chan wasn't an imageboard proper, it was just a free porn forum like Hentai Lover's Club. (An imageboard wouldn't require registration, and it wouldn't have a separate field for a tripcode as if it's an important part of your post.) But hey, it was pretty good at providing free porn.

I thought 5chan was one of the best ones. Specific boards meant I could look at alternative stuff without wading through floods of dickgirls and "shitting dicknipples". I found the hentaikey registration to be anonymous enough, seeing as you could use a disposable account like mailinator to register with it.

it's not that 5chan was cool, its that a few 4chaners arent cool and like in mmorpg it take 10 losers to bitch and shout to screw everyone else. may god have mercy on the man who post a shota image with a woman in it for the homos will bitchand cry like theres no tomorow. they are right since the rules says only gay shota not straight. BUT would that be the rule if noone bitched at the first sight of something horrible like a women? i think not.
there was no shit like that in 5chan because everything was separated. and when something out of context like a guro image would get posted in loli/cute well someone would tell him and it would end there. mostly no crap. serious. if youve never been to 5chan and only know 4chan, what ive just said must sound ridicule.
and if you think registering a hentaikey took your anonymity away, well let me ROTFLMAO.

Its usually because they were just about to orgasm and they totally dont want to orgasm to that geez
>>1 Agreed, but it did put a huge amount of emphasis on the pictures over the posts. Which is fine if you`re looking for an archive of pics... not so hot when you actually enjoy reading the posts.
I don't think that they ever did delete the images, unless it was a server screw-up.

It's simple, as far as porn 5chan trumps 4 every time, but as for overall quality i like the futaba boards better, 4chan really could use some more specific categories though

And don't whine for even more boards on there. If you want them, add them yourself like all those others have done.

>>27 Anyone else noticed that it's only the same ~8 people reposting the same type of stuff over and over..? It's a Clique and Leech board, but no real Futaba-style community...
Soviet Russia, Cockmongler & IRC channel is all that's different.

why some losers whine that 5chan had furies is beyong me considering they were separated in identified board. everything was separated and they could afford to do that since the community was so big. it wasnt a cluster-fuck-fest like 4chan with the same losers always bitching about the same thing.

its layout sucked, its userbase sucked, the only thing it did was keeping the FUCKING FURRIES AWAY
5chan is for bloated farts who masturbate to masturbating humananimalcripples.

Soviet Russia is a bit too banned to be part of 4chan's community.
Hating furries is the 'in' thing to do. Remember kids, FF7 sucked, Homestar Runner is shit, and Pulp Fiction was terrible. Look how l337 I am.
No, but seriously, if you don't like Furries, they had the shit seperated out. I'm aware there's a big problem with copyright infringement on furry art, but tastewise, to each their own.
But getting this fucking topic away from another furry debate: Zabadab had a great fapping site set up, he throws a tantrum, and goes off to lurk anonymously on 4chan after leaving 5chan in the trash. If he's going to be that much of a fucking crybaby, we don't need 5chan.

It's not that it's the 'in' thing to do, but that so many furries are so bloddy annoying, be it about copyrights, being made fun of, or trying to justify the non-pervertedness of their fetish(and arguing they should be as accepted as /d-ers in the same post -_-;).

Personally, I see the full time fur-bashers and the hardcore furries as equally pathetic.
Sometimes, I think people become serious fur-bashers because they have nothing else to do, want to feel important, or were subjected to religious brainwashing.

If you're on 4chan, you're a pervert. They're anthropomophic creatures that some people get off on and many people draw well. Copyrights are one thing, but saying a blanket statement about any type of art is just wrong.
Now, can we PLEASE go back to the topic at hand? *Points* 5-chan.

5chan was alright. It actually made use of my ages old HentaiKey account (that I thought had been deleted from inactivity). Funny how everyone thought they'd get uber amounts of spam from HentaiKey...
Though if the admin wasn't so willing to get rid of it on a drop of a hat...it was a decent community...unfortunately most of the stuff was junk that was posted here...:p
