yeah, /int/ is awesome, especially those Russians/Slavs are pretty cool guys.
But the rest of Krautchan... bah. I don't even mind that they're "braun", they're just full of fail. And DAMN are they dumb. Talking to people isn't fun when you have to explain your posts in baby-speak all the time.

So shouldn't we just start somewhat serious chan in German? With more restrictive policies towards the Nazi-shit?
>>13
Actually, KC isn't all that Nazi-infested, especially not if you use 4chan for reference.
But anyone who doesn't share your exact same political views is automatically an evil Nazi and shouldn't be allowed to speak his mind, right?
You're disgusting.
Anyway, I think massive fail is almost unavoidable if one is to start a German chan. Almost every German who is geeky, creative, intelligent, witty and/or otherwise interesting in any way is also fluent in English, and thus has no need to visit a German chan. Therefore any such chan will inevitably be populated first and foremost by those Germans who don't speak enough English to truly enjoy American/International chan culture.
The result is exactly what you see at Krautchan: Uber failures.

Good reasoning, but what you see at Krautchan is people imitating 4chan. Nazis are not their biggest problem, in fact there are just some of them.
I'm pretty sure it's made of some Germans who looked at 4chan /b/, thought it was pretty cool and copied it. 90% of the "memes" on KC are copied from the ones at 4chan, again 99% of then LITERALLY translated to German. I think everyone here who doesn't know German still can imagine the huge amount of fail. Still, it must have been some German who was all that "witty, geeky" stuff who was still fluent in English.
You just have to realize that when it comes to anonymous image boards, everything depends on speed and "hive mind". It's just fascinating for a "newfag" to get on /b/ and watch the threads coming and going but noone will ever expect to read a quality posting there. So what you need for an image board to run well is a reasonable amount of users who are fairly creative.
This still is not the case for 2channel stlye message boards. You have to apply different criteria there.
tl;dr: KC is a bad (and pretty exact) copy of 4chan.

>Nazi-Infested
You've got trolled.
Also, if you think they are copying 4chan, take a closer look.
Also remember that 4chan is a copy of another chan, so it lacks any amount of originality in the first place.
Also, tell me honestly, which part of 4chan isn't full of fail?
I'd really like to get to know that board.

Or rather, someone who understands English. That doesn't imply being able to effortlessly write whatever you want in this language.
I actually know a Krautchanner IRL, we used to go to the same school. His English sucks ass, but that doesn't keep him from browsing ED and spouting both English and German memes virtually all the time.
I don't see copying memes as a big problem though, it's only natural. 4chan used to run almost entirely on memes imported from 2chan and Something Awful.

aside from /b/, /v/, /fit/ and /a/, most 4chan boards are pretty cool if you're interested in their respective themes (with /a/ still being one of the best places to discuss anime, which says more about anime fandom than /a/, really). There are other English-language chans better than 4chan though, and nowadays I mostly hang out on 2ch/2chan anyway.

Yeah, because learning memes by heart really says a lot about one's language skills.

ITT: People think on Krautchan are real Nazis.
Only stupid people(nazis) think and come to Krautchan because of this.
Other people are just trolling. Get a life people and don't take anything serious, faggots.
