What you’re referring to as /tech/, is in fact, /g/tech/, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, /g+tech/. /tech/ is not a forum unto itself, but rather another technology-themed board of a fully-functioning /g/ forum made useful by the /g/ tripfags, posting thematics, and vital tech-related memes comprising a forum board as defined by moot.
Many forum-goers post on a modified version of the /g/ board every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the text version of /g/ which is widely used today is often called /tech/, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the /g/ forum, developed by the /g/entoo community. There really is a /tech/, and these people are posting on it, but it is just a part of the forum on which they post.
/tech/ is the text board: the board in the forum that associates the color-blind posters to the other threads that one posts. The text board is an essential part of a forum, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete forum. /tech/ is normally used in combination with the /g/ forum: the whole system is basically /g/ with /tech/ added, or /g/tech/. All the so-called /tech/ threads are really threads on /g/tech/.
