It's situations like this that make me wish web design and programming wasn't so goddamn boring.

I'm thinking in separate the board in different boards.
/science/ for science
/humanities/ for literature, history, philosophy, etc.
/geek/ for gadgets, steampunk, cyberpunk and not serious stuff
/otaku/ for japanese culture nerds
If the board continue growing I will see if I can use of ADs (just like 4chan) and get a domain...

I didn't read this thread all the way through, so excuse me if I'm repeating what other people have said:
Since we already have a science text-board, a science image-board would be superfluous. A board where we simply show only science related pictures? We might as well just start and maintain science threads on /b/ and /g/.
Now, another text-board based on Philosophy & Spirituality would be nice. I'm positive there are whole bunch of us that have the philosophical itch-- even if most of us are pseudo-intellectuals or dilettantes. And again, a Philosophy & spirituality IMAGE-board would be as unecessary as a science one.
Shut the fuck up faggot. /sci/ deserves an imageboard just as much as any other subject. You know know those pictures from the hubble, or close ups of atoms that you look at to feel smart and amazed? Yeah bitch, science.
Okay, I'm much more open to the idea now. The makeshift science board linked on >>29 convinced me.
So maybe I jumped the gun on this one, because I would definitely be a regular on such a board.
However, not every subject is a workable imageboard theme. Even with all the science related pictures, conversation and debate would end up being the major focus-- so it's more suited as textboard, imo.
Regardless, I still approve of the idea.

>>51 there is a lot of interesting science videos and you can see and post them in the imageboard.
>>54
/r9k/ already contains threads about science (granted if you can bear to swim past the void of endless relationship threads). So making a /sci/ imageboard here may be a bit pointless.

Half of 4chan boards are pointless them.
Why have /a/ and /c/ if we have /jp/?
There are some animal threads in /b/, so we don't need /an/
We have /n/, so we don't need /o/
We have photos in almost every board, so we don't need /p/
We have heath threads in /ck/ so we don't need /fit/
.

Continues until we end with just /b/

Hmmm... good point. What I also have noticed is we have /g/, and two "/g/-based" (if you will) textboards here on World4ch: /comp/ - Computers and /tech/ - Technology.
moot appeared in /b/ on the morning of March 19th (UTC-5) and I asked him a question and surprisingly among the huge amount of responses he replied. I asked him "Hey moot, are you considering adding new boards to 4chan?". His response was ".....yes?". Hinting at the possibility of new board additions.
So you can suggest to him the creation of a /sci/ - Science imageboard, by e-mailing him (moot@4chan.org). Though, there's plenty of imageboard sites out there that already have a board dedicated to Science.

That was the name that these boards were under when they were hosted on a separate domain (originally http://www.world4ch.org). Some people still refer to the textboards by this name even though it's been like, what? Two or three years now since they were merged into the main 4chan site.

Oh also to add, the name "Word4ch" was taken after World2ch, because World2ch which was a site administered by some Japanese kid was an early attempt at (even before 4chan was founded) recreating 2channel (www.2ch.net) in English and other languages. That site collapsed, and Shii and a few other former users of World2ch tired to make a new site that would be a continuation of that, so then World4ch was born.
>>57
Yeah.
I liked 3.14chan, you don't see many imageboards where you can post math equations and youtube videos...
Also trolls level are still very low there, but I don't know if this would keep this way if it became more popular.

There's a thread on 4chan right now of people's sugggestions for boards. One of those suggestions was /sci/ - a scientific imageboard.
Then someone mentioned that this text board existed.
That's why I'm here.
Because I'm just a humanitiesfag, and your complexity dazzles me.
