Holy fuck what?

I've been going on 4chan for over 2 years and I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS PLACE EXISTED!  Text boards!  On my 4chan!  The whole time!

I've never seen a single link over to this part of the website from the image boards.  This is like finding a room in the middle of my house that I've somehow never noticed!

Why have I never heard of this place before?

Please don't use a tripcode. Not being Anonymous is frowned upon here. Not in the sense of the imageboards where it is still tolerated, but in the sense that you will get hounded constantly and possibly hunted down and beaten with a brick in a sock, which happened to a previous tripcode-user. Nobody will read your posts if you use a name, don't even bother unless you are a troll who wants to cause discord.
