You should know that your pic is more terrifying than any of the horrors that I've every seen on /x/.

Anyway, I've been working on /mu/ quite a bit. In the wiki it says that /r9k/ opens up the three rooms that /b/ had been hording to himself, so I was thinking that /mu/ and two other new characters would move into them almost immediately (I suggest /tv/ and /fa/). I've also got a character card almost ready for him, but I'll wait and see who's all here before I post it.

P.S. I've changed my name. "Ordinary /x/ile" was just a joke and I'm probably the only person who got it.

Well I'm happy to see somebody showed at least.
I wasn't sure if everybody would check their email in time.
I've got /tg/ /co/ and /x/ open right now in hopes of recognizing a name I'm missing.
I realized that Black Mesa Janitor never contacted me, and he was a big part of this.

Sadly don't have a great deal of time to spend here, but I'm here!

It seems everyone has their own area or categories they're working on?

Well, we never assigned anything to anybody, we were just working on whatever interested us most.
For instance, I did most of the work on /d/ because that's the board I frequent most often.
I say just work on whatever you're comfortable with, and offer suggestions when you can.
I haven't been working on it alot in the interim, but I've still got a few ideas lying around somewhere.

For the benefit of anyone who may be unfamiliar with the project so far : http://1d4chan.org/wiki/4_chan_anime should bring you up to speed.

Here's one of the old floorplan pics so we've got a better idea what we're working with.
I had suggested putting /mu/ and /o/'s rooms down by the garage, but that wasn't really agreed to.
/m/ is definitely down there though, and I think /n/ might make sense if /o/ does.
We'll probably have to rework the floorplan eventually, given that we keep adding characters.
We're probably pretty close to finishing off those that make sense to use though.
Alot of the boards really don't get that much traffic, or don't fit that easily into the story.

>>11211
Did I ever mention how much I hate pictures fucking with my text formatting?
I figured I'd go ahead and start to slowly work out another story.
Here's part one for your consideration.

/co/ is coming back from the kitchen with a midnight snack, when he notices the lights still on in /tg/'s room.
As he passes the doorway, he notices that it's cracked open just a bit so he decides to take a peek.
/tg/ and /d/ are sitting next to eachother at the gaming table in /tg/'s room and talking, each with a rulebook in front of them.
/co/ rolls his eyes and thinks to himself "I can't believe he still wants to run a game with her after what happend last time."
As /co/ starts to walk away, he's halted by a sudden burst of laughter from the pair inside the room.
Now his curiosity is piqued, and he returns his eyes to the slit of light coming through the doorway.

>>11212
/co/ watches as they take turns flipping through their books and pointing out pages to eachother as they struggle to contain their laughter.
"No way she's rolling up a character." thought /co/ "But what's so damn funny about a couple of rulebooks?"
/co/ gets a startled look on his face as he realizes that he was leaning on the door too hard, and it had managed to swing open.
"What are you doing hanging in the door /co/?" asks /tg/ "We're picking out the system for the next campaign. Maybe you can help us decide."
/d/ smirks at the invitation and shoves her book in front of /tg/'s face, her finger on a rolling table, and laughter bubbles out from them once again.
/co/'s curiosity overwhelming him, he grabs /tg/'s book off the table, and turns it so he can read the cover. He is greeted by the letters F.A.T.A.L.
"I've never heard of this one before. What one have you got /d/?" Tears rolling down her cheeks, she hands it to /co/? "What the hell is Black Tokyo?"

That's all I've got for now. Just typed it in a few minutes.
I'll hold off on the stories until we can get a few more posts in here.
Good to see we've still got a few people who'll be showing up though.

>>11218

So, this kind of proves the whole "we need all the semi-interested anons that we had at 4chan" thing, doesn't it?

>>11220
I've always known that we needed them.
I didn't really give everybody fair warning that this was going on tonight though.
I'm just putting this here until helpful /co/mrade can get this figured out with /co/
In the meantime, this thread probably isn't going anywhere.
Things might move a little more slowly, but we don't have to stop entirely for now.
As long as we can get a few people posting and in the mood again we're doing just fine.

Holy shit, X-tan. Nice to see you guys chugging along on this, it was always a pretty fun idea.

Aha, I'm late to the party, as always. Sorry about that, turns out my msn signed me out without me noticing >_<

Ah, excellent. Nice to see we've finally got a place to take this again. Sorry about not being here earlier, my sleep schedule is so bizarre I have no idea when I'll be awake anymore. In any case, though, I know a great drawfag who'd be willing to help us get some shit done for this project. I'll send her the info if she ever gets her lazy ass online. As usual, I'm not sure how much I can really contribute, but I'll do what I can. I'm just glad we have a place to discuss this without people whining about this being "too meta" and "not /tg/ related."

Also, Victimless Crime... of all the images available to you, you picked that one?

http://pride-kun.deviantart.com/

This is the DA account of the drawfag I mentioned. She also happens to be my sister, so I'm fairly sure I can convince her to crank us out some nice art, even if it's just a few yonkoma-style comic strips.

>>11238
>>11248
I thought you'd appreciate the humor of that picture Darc. It was an April Fool's joke after all.
It looks like your sister is a pretty good artist too. Any idea on what she might draw specifically?
I might try my hand at drawing a few things, but I don't know how in the hell it'll work out.
I haven't drawn anything since high school, and I haven't had an art lesson since grade school, so some practice is probably in order.
That, and there's the fact that I have neither a scanner, nor a drawing pad, which leaves me with either photos or drawing with my mouse.
I'll probably be doodling random things while I'm on the computer tonight, just to prove to myself whether or not it's actually worth sharing.

>>11249
The image is funny enough, it's just... kinda creepy. As far as the art goes, I'll probably direct her to the 1d4chan article of writefaggotry and see if she wants to illustrate one of them. Knowing her, she will, as long as she finds it funny.

>>11250
That'll probably rule out anything I've written.
Most of my jokes are in-jokes aimed at specific boards or board events.
Of course they might not be that funny in the first place either.
I've been doing a little bit of work on re-writing the previous "CoC game night" comic.
I'm hoping we can get a few people in here together at some point and get some more submissions finalized.
I don't like to be the only one posting stories/writeups, because I'd rather have the group's input.

Oooh, there's replies! Your sister's pretty good Darc.

>>11251
I'm going to try a bit of writefaggotry sometime either tonight or tomorrow, assuming inspiration strikes. I just hope it's better than the last one I wrote...

Here's what I've got so far of the reworked version.
I'm hoping I can get a measure of comedy to work in it, but you won't see it here.

Scene: /tg/ /co/ /x/ and /d/ are all sitting at the gaming table in /tg/'s room playing CoC.
/tg/ is sitting on one side, hidden behind a GM screen, and /co/ /x/ and /d/ are on the other.
/co/ and /d/ are sitting next to eachother, and /x/ is seperated from /d/ by an array of charms and "study materials" on the table.

/tg/: "The earth trembles and quakes as the ground before you fractures, straining against a force from below."
"You freeze in horror at the sight before you, as a mass of oozing black tentacles erupts from the earth."
"As they emerge from the depths, multiplying in number and growing in size, they reach out to grasp at your vulnerable flesh."

I wouldn't mind a little bit of clearing up as to the nature of relationship between /d/ and /v/. I mean, /d/ seems to pounce on /v/ a lot. Any reason why? Or just luck of the draw?

>>11257
Are we talking board wise, or character wise?
I don't recall alot of discussion regarding /v/ and /d/ together.

>>11258
Character. And not as an item since that's /a/'s role. I just kind of recall at least twice /d/ dragged /v/ off for whatever. I was just wondering the nature of their relationship if there is one at all or if this was just random/bad luck for /v/.

>>11250
I'm the guy who drew OP's pic. I decided to draw a picture of X-tan that is less creepy for ya.

I don't really have any ideas for this, but it certainly is interesting to follow.

>>11259
To the best of my knowledge, it was just bad luck on /v/'s part.
I don't believe that /d/ and /v/ really have much of a connection (so far).
We certainly haven't really written much about any sort of relationship that they would have.
That's not to say that they couldn't have one, but we haven't gone that direction just yet.

>>11263
Good to see we've caught your attention, and thanks for the pic.
If you're ever in the mood, we'd welcome any contributions you have.

If anyone's interested, someone from /ck/ came over because they heard /tg/ misses her or something like that. Not canon of course but maybe /ck/ could try to make a consolitary meal for /tg/? The /ck/ who posted was giving us some kind of recipe that had rose petal jam and skim milk and someone asked if she was trying to feed us elf food.

>>11274
I caught the thread (it's still up). It's kind of funny seeing /tg/'s reaction to /ck/ coming to visit again.
The initial reaction was fairly typical of /tg/, including a reminder that /ck/ "broke their hearts".
I think /tg/ as a whole still has a tender spot for /ck/, but they've settled on /x/ pretty well by now.
Using rose petals/hips was bound to evoke an elf food reference. Can't be helped really.
Watching the boards on 4chan provides plenty of ideas for future stories.
A portion of what we've written already is based on previous board interactions.

1d4chan seems to be down. That can't be good.

>>11286
I'm at least getting an error message from the site now.
Earlier the thing was just a dead end with no feedback.
Looks like they're working on the problem at least.
I guess I'll have to start saving THAT content to my HD as well once it gets back up.
I didn't expect I'd have to worry about losing our content from the wiki until now.
I should probably send out another email to remind everybody that the thread is here now.
I've been watching it nightly since I started it, but I don't want to be the only one posting.
I'll definitely have to see about editing the wiki once it's back up. No reason not to anymore.

>>11289
All of our content seems to be dissolving... I tried finding the threads on suptg but they weren't even there, any idea what's up with that? Between that and the wiki, that's all the information we had... if we lose that, all we'll have left is what's in our own HDs, and I've got nothing.

>>11291
If we lose it, we lose it.
As much as I've enjoyed this project, I wouldn't feel to bad about ending it if the wiki went permadead.
Starting over from scratch isn't really an option with so little activity right now.
I don't think that all of the character cards were actually posted ON the /tg/ threads, so losing the wiki would lose some of those too.
I'm expecting the wiki to come back though, and I did manage to save the /tg/ threads, so we aren't actually missing those.

Pic of /g/ for the chattin' folks

Good to see you guys are still alive. Shame you had to leave /tg/, but its for the best.

Hoping to see good stuff in the future. I may contribute more /tg/, /x/ and /toy/ later.

>>11317
Glad to have you.
It may interest you to know that we're getting close to starting a weekly thread on /co/
We don't have the boards full approval just yet, but it looks promising at this point.
We're sticking with weekly to avoid one of the problems we had over in /tg/

Noticed that the threads are being deleted fast on /co/. Apologies if you already read this OP, but I think it's still an important point.

Your suggestion was to get all the drawfags, writefags, other Anons, etc to work on a webcomic about the board-tans of 4chan. I say, why not just get a group of these people together - doesn't have to be large, in fact it'll probably be easier with a smaller team - and just let them submit comics under any theme they want?

If someone wants to do a board-tan strip, great. If someone wants to do a parody one-shot, fine. If continuity comes up, don't let it stretch out for more than a few strips. Running gags and recurring characters would be cool, but you could also challenge yourself to try out new scenarios and sports/locations/hobbies/formats to draw, or just say "hey, I'd like to try this out for the new strip" and discuss it with everyone else. Get a rota together, get some comics done in advance, get some feedback on /co/, advertise the place without being total fags about it ("lulz its /co/ teh webcomic"), and just have fun with it.

It doesn't look like we'll be hosting it at /co/; a janitor's been deleting every thread /co/mrade's been making.

>>11360
>>11361
Seems like its either one of the janitors against "original content" or the mods are cracking down on what they consider off-topic chatter. Either way, such is not a good sign for draw or write threads, no matter the quality of work.

>>11360
We've been looking at options outside of 4chan for a while. This thread being a bit of a placeholder itself.
Should 4chan ultimately decide that we can't hold threads there, we have other options.
Somewhere down the line, we'll have something worth sharing with them, and we will.
If they don't want to be exposed to the process that's fine.

I was actually discussing things a bit with helpful /co/mrade tonight and he had a similar view on the subject.
I think there's a way to make this project work, and I see no reason to try railroading anybody.
Having certain stories stick to whatever "canon" we can manage and having the majority of the content be one-offs is great.
That's pretty much what's been going on the few times that somebody has sat down and made a comic or a pic with any sort of context.

I don't think that the intention of the project was to create some sort of regimented storyline submission system.
We want this to be open and enjoyable for those involved in its creation, so that they have an easier time making it enjoyable for the audience.
The only reason we try to nail down any particulars at all is to keep some measure of a central plot concept and to keep the characters accurate.
If we make a character representing a board and the board itself has issues with it, we haven't been doing our job.

The subject of this project resurfaced in /a/ earlier today.
After some digging, found my way here. This project seemed like a good idea. I found the wiki page 1d4chan. Is what's on the wiki the some of the set ideas so far?

>>11372
I think the wiki page is serving as the general archive and reference point for the project. It'll have character bios for all the board-tans, plotlines within the series, and eventually an accepted canon for the entire project (as soon as everyone involved can meet together to discuss said canon). Basically, it serves as the main reference point for people interested in the series and for the writers/artists to rely on when creating new work.

btw, we're trying to get everyone who is involved already to get together so that we can begin work on the introductory story. If you see the contact list on the wiki page, be sure to email me or VC to let us know your preferred meeting schedule and when you'll be available to chat in IM.

Why not make a story based in people comments?
Just like this one http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4

being sitedropping faggot and posting this
http://z10.invisionfree.com/Board_tans/index.php?act=idx
It was the forum set up back when this first started back in September 08.
By the way, does anyone know of a good alternative to anonib for imageboard hosting

Didn't know you guys were still around. When you settle I might toss my two cents in again.

>>11373
Sent an e-mail. Let me know what's going on and what IM client to get. I usually just use IRC so I don't have an IM client right now, but I can just as easily put one on.

So THIS is the rock everyone has been hiding under!

Now that I have found it, I would be willing to contribute again. Might be pretty sketchy for me since its getting close to the end of the semester, but once mid May rolls around you have my full attention.

Holy Hell that's a lot of activity since I checked this thing last.
Good to see there's still this much interest in the project, and that some of the old guard have gotten involved again..
I will be sending out an email shortly to everybody who's contacted me, in regards to organizing some group chat sessions.
In lieu of the (hopefully still possible) weekly thread on /co/ we'd like to get everybody together in Windows Live Messenger every now and again.
If that gets a bit crowded, we may just shanghai the old Board-tan board, since their admin never returned my email.
If the two members I contacted can get back to me we'll likely have 2 more contributors including a drawfag.

>>11413
Do you mind posting your email at all?

>>11410
In a way, I am glad not to be the only person who got a little lost.

>>11415
Here's my email. I had put it up on the front page of the Wiki, so I forgot to mention it here.
Glad to see you and Janitor are still interested. I'm happy to see you guys still around.
We still haven't worked out a permanent location to host this at, though this thread or the Boardt-tan board remain options.
In the meantime, we're just trying to gather people together and hold occasional chat sessions.
I'd like to have us back on 4chan where we have the best chance for outside input, but it may no longer be in the cards.
Either way, we'll do our best to soldier on for as long as we can here. This project has been too enjoyable to just let it die off so soon.

>>11263
Wait you mean OP's picture isn't rule 63 X-tan?

The previous compilation of /tg/ threads was missing ONE thread, and I have uploaded a more complete version.
That can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lv54zz2qztm

>>11444
X-tan's sex is supposed to be unclear. Rule 63 doesn't really work on x-tan.

>>11458
The original /x/-tan was genderless. The one we use now is very much female.

Lately a few of us have been meeting up on Windows Live Messenger at nights to discuss the project and otherwise engage in tomfoolery.
Anybody interested can look up either myself or helpful /co/mrade, and we'll be happy to send you an invite if we have a group going.
/co/mrade's email for both the project and the messenger is merlin7777777@msn.com.
Feel free to just listen in or chat if you like, the company is enjoyable whether we're being productive or not.

Here, have an /x/-tan.

>>11693
Am I correct in assuming that somebody is trying to convince her to put on some pants in this picture?
The look on her face says "What do I need those for?" That's actually pretty funny.

Just one problem

How do you plan on drawing /b/?

>>11708
just a void of negative space on the page

>>11708
We've imagined him as looking kind of like Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

>>11708 >>11720
/b/ is undrawable.
Some day I'll get to making a collage of various /b/-tans from the many 4chan-tan pics.

Hey guys, just putting this down so that we can have a few reference pics for our drawfags to work with.

>>11742
/b/ would be like that Chernobyl mutant thing, except it would be an amalgam of all the other boards

And it would be huge, either in size or in number

More pics:

/d/

>>11757
/d/ in a swimsuit

>>11758
/x/ in a swimsuit

>>11759
and again

>>11760
/x/-tan

>>11761
and again

>>11762

>>11763

>>11764
/tg/ (obviously)

>>11765
young /tg/ and /x/

>>11766
younger /x/-tan

>>11742
Here's another version of the lineup.

>>11767
older /tg/ and /x/

>>11769
D'AWW

>>11770

>>11771
Oh my, how did THIS situation come about I wonder?...

>>11772
/e/

>>11773
/co/ and /ck/

>>11774
/d/ and shota /co/

>>11775
/co/nrad and /co/lette

>>11776
Possible battle-mode version of /d/?

>>11777

>>11778
moving on to some /c/ material...

>>11779

>>11780

>>11781
/c/ and /b/

>>11782
next couple are /c/ and /a/, and that's all I've got for now...

>>11783

>>11784

>>11785

>>11786
more /c/-tan pics, straight off the press...

>>11787

>>11780
We were lucky to catch the attention of this particular artist before getting the boot from /tg/

>>11789
Aside from the /a/ and /c/ pic, most of his/her stuff features /x/

I'll throw in a couple of takes on /toy/ before I finish posting the rest of the last artist's work.

>>11790

Last two pics are a bit "suggestive"

Probably don't need it, but I'll flag this one to be on the safe side.

On second thought, I think I'll flag this one too. Better worksafe than sorry.

/x/ has got to be the most popular female character so far.
Hell, she's even getting more action than /d/ at this point, story wise.

my first post and its a picture of /c/ that I did

>>11808
That's because /x/ is that rare character that can switch from "adorable" to "sexy" without doing anything.

Another one from the same person who did >>11693.

Why is /tg/ thin and not fat?

>>11843
Because back when this project was hosted on /tg/, we polled all the fa/tg/uys we could and found out that despite the name we refer to ourselves as, most of us are actually quite skinny.

I would fuck /x/-tan.

I have a suggestion for /hc/:

Make her a old porn star MILF, tanned with blond hair (or a wig), and DD breasts (fake or real). Something like the pic but without the Vulture suit. She often but not always speaks using sexual innuendo and double-entendre.

>>11905
This could work.

>>11905
For the most part, nobody has touched any of the NSFW boards aside from /d/ and /e/ at this point.
Might be interesting to see what we can do with the rest.
As summer nears and everybody is getting away from school, I hope to see things pick up.
I may start looking into creating a dedicated board similar to what the original Board-tan group had.
I'll still prefer chatrooms and image boards of course, but it's nice to have a reference point.

Just a small suggestion...
/i/ and /ic/ should be the Waldorf and Statler of the bunch, minor characters more or less. Not sure on designs though.
I'd imagine /r/ constantly mooching off of the other characters, asking to borrow various random things. Especially from /t/ and /rs/.
/n/ is a minor recurring character, always shown operating some kind of transportation the other characters use. When not on driving, s/he is reading a newspaper.

>>11965
Nobody has done any serious work on /i/ or /ic/ since the original Board-tan group disbanded.
So far, we haven't come up with anything new, and they are likely to remain secondary characters.
There has been some work done on /n/, though /co/mrade is better prepared to inform you of that.
/r/ /t/ and /rs/ have been somewhat in flux, since they're rarely mentioned and we haven't come to any conclusions.

Guess who hasn't forgotten about the project?

Oh, it's you /tg/

Come back with those Jeans!

Here we have /x/ /tg/ /toy/ and /m/ as drawn by Another Generic Drawfag.

>>12010
...Doll joints?

>>12012
It IS /toy/, after all.

Here's the pic I missed saving last night.
Thank goodness for the sup/tg/ archives.

>>12012
The person who requested that picture used an earlier version of /toy/
The version that has since been come up with is much more human.
>>11791
>>11792

>>11905
/s/ would obviously be her rival in trying to garner attention I guess.

dammit I was wondering where everyone was

y'all all still updating 1d4chan?
or was it wikichan?

>>12229
The info's on 1d4chan, but I don't know if anyone's updated it lately. I sure haven't.

>>12230
Nothing has been updated just yet.
I'd rather not go around changing too much without a little more group involvement.
Right now, the people who have been meeting in chat are a pretty small group.
Until we can get more input, I'd rather not try passing anything off as "canon" as we have before.
That sort of thing should be reserved for when we have enough people to criticize ideas and propose alternatives.
With such a small group, it's too damn easy to greenlight every new idea that comes through.

>>12234

because I am a computer illiterate 'tard could you explain to me how to access the chat and when it convenes so that I might join in?

how does I work chat?

>>12238
http://download.live.com/?sku=messenger

Thankfully I'll be done with school this week, so I'll have a lot more free time.

you guise really should go make a wikia or something. Better yet make a mediawiki if any of you has webhosting (wikia is easier to use, and FREE, but they also reserve the right to use pretty much anything you upload. Also no NSFW)

A wiki would allow file uploading with actual filenames, still allow chatting, and messaging between users, and discussion pages could be used for... discussing things

But that's just my two cents. I won't say I am a pro tier drawfag or anything, but I might contribute somehting now and then. I can help advise things as well, so I suppose I will lurk around here.

<3

>>12280
We do have a wiki page up on 1d4chan.org that we've been using.
It just happens to be relatively free of updates since the project got the boot from /tg/.
It's a little underutilized currently, and it wouldn't necessarily be out of the question to move the content elsewhere.
I have been a little leery of it getting deleted, but so far the mods there have been kind to us.

>>12238
Normally I'm on some time around 10PM CST, but I'm not sure of everybody else's schedules.
Just hop on at night when you have some free time and see who's on.
Be sure to add both /co/mrade and me to your contact list.
Otherwise you'll have no idea when anybody is on, unless you shoot me an email and get on the e-mailing list.

UPDATES UPDATES UPDATES

>>11204

Wow, guys, this is amazing. I was there when the project got the boot from /tg/ and I was sad to see you guys go, but then I lost news on the project up until now. Nice to see that you're still getting shit done. Keep up the good work!

>>12437
To be honest, things have started to taper off a bit.
I was expecting MORE activity over the summer, but hardly anybody returns emails or shows up on messenger.
We've still been discussing the project, but I utterly refuse to nail anything down as permanent without more people involved.
It's been a little frustrating with the lack of direct responses, because I'm well aware that interest in the project remains.
I just with more people would be proactive about getting involved.
I don't want to turn into a spammer just so I can keep people interested.

I found this on 4chan's /d/

>>12513
Oh wow. I didn't catch that one.
Now I'm curious to know just who the hell drew it.
/d/ isn't exactly known for it's drawfags, and /a/'s aren't usually very active.
I certainly didn't expect to see much drawing done aside from the odd /tg/+/x/ thing that pops up from time to time.

>>12414
Sorry I didn't comment on your post sooner.
Good to see that that particular board isn't quite dead yet.
I noticed you were using names for the characters.
Were those names that your group had come up with?
I must admit that I didn't watch the original board-tan attempt quite as closely as this one.
Either way, glad to see you're interested.

i've been following these threads across the boards...

/co/ thread last night, then decided to check +4c tonight. please tell me there is still interest in this.

you're going to be hearing from me

>>12709
The fact that there are so many people posting in this thread that I don't see in chat every night is an indicator that there is in fact still interest.
That's a great picture by the way (I'm assuming you drew it?) and we'd certainly be happy to have you.
From what I hear, both /co/ and /a/ have been having occasional chats on the subject.
I've been missing them sadly, though anything anybody could do to catch me up would be a help.
Maybe somebody could try and save one or two of them if they keep popping up.
The project archives are all from me saving pages out of the /tg/ archives so they don't get deleted.

On a project related note, I'm going to try and fill this thread with a bit more art.
Partly for examples to show people in chat, and partly because there's a slight backlog of new content that originated in chat.

>>12711
lol new content? Anything with /tg/?

>>12784
Nothing with /tg/ that I'm aware of.
All I have that can't be found elsewhere are drawings done in chat.

This is the second version of /an/ that was drawn by our resident chat artist.

Here we see the two locked in combat.

Suddenly somebody is reminded of Ed.

Here's our artist's rendition of /e/

She's as lovestruck as ever, as you can see.

There are more /c/ pictures than anything really.
I'll put the rest of what I have up shortly.

alright, since nobody reads the invisionfree forums, i'm reposting my research here. Hours of reading 4chan history, news, and blotter. Also, pre-cancer /b/, by /b/.

Wow zec, thank you for that.
Having some info on 4chan's illustrious history is definitely useful for storytelling, and is certainly interesting to learn.

http://z3.invisionfree.com/Project_4chan/index.php

The new Invision board set up for the project.

A big thanks goes out to Zecro for setting up the new board, and providing us with some 4chan history.
Hopefully with a few new recent members and continued interest, we can get this project moving again.

If you don't have MSN/can't figure out who to add, I have set up an IRC channel:
#boards on irc.rizon.net

Here are some more of the /c/ pics I promised.

Here /c/ learns a new word.

We have new work for /e/ and /d/ as well

I imagine it would be French.

That's all from me for now.
For those of you following our currently snail-like progress, feel free to check out the board linked earlier.
Maybe I can get off my keister and do some work for the old Wiki one of these days too.
As always, you can find me in chat most nights.
While the conversation isn't always serious business (it rarely is in fact) the company is definitely enjoyable. We aren't quite dead yet, and anybody interested is welcome to contribute either here or the board, or they can hop on chat with any questions they might have.

>>13271
raise your hand if you like vectors
1000 hours in Flash, WIP.

This is probably what's being animated unless i decide there's something totally off and needs changing.

So I did this little animation thing with /c/. Art credit to Pride. The misspellings are clearly intentional. >_>

>>>/draw/22429
if that doesn't work,
https://plus4chan.org/boards/draw/res/22429.html

/f/ needs something to blast porn loops, music clips, and WHERE DA HOOD AT
pic related, this is what he should have. It's like a computer/ghettoblaster mix. If they made these in real life, I would get one posthaste.

also I edited the /c/ animation a bit so it'll get reposted on /f/ more often
>>/draw/22454

/d/eviant reporting in. It's nice to see such an interesting project still alive and kicking. If I may make a few suggestions for /d/-tan...
•Despite being a functual hermaphrodite, she cannot impregnate anyone. She's sterile. This will avoid some pregnancy issues in her rapings.
•However, in three-eyed succubus form, her demon tail acts as a secondary penis which can turn other women into partial succubi. The tail's foreskin forms a pointed spade-like sheath around it. /x/ is immune to the transformative effects, and capable of purification, for that matter.
•/d/ must have breasts the size of her head or larger, and I mean that quite literally. DD-cups are very "vanilla" to us. Unless they're lactating. Trust me, go to /d/ and try to start a "huge boobs" thread with nothing over DD. You'll see what I mean.

Also, we should add room descriptions to the board-tans page of the wiki. For example:
/e/: "Innocent activities, sexy results" is key. e.g. Pillows for pillow fights, Trampoline for bouncing breasts...
/h/: Set up like a small strip club.
/d/: Bondage equipment, Sybians, Milking machines, the works. Also, rather large pet Octopus.
/k/: Guns from wall to wall. Has his favorite handgun under his Pillow and there is a bomb rigged to the underside of the bed.
/x/: Center is very bare, mostly used for alchemical matrices and summonings. A blend of charms and posters line the walls.
/b/:

sup guys!
just found this thread, and wondering:
is there more 4chan anime stories, outside 1d4chan?

>>13765
There is one that I wrote, but I'm not posting it here. Its quality is questionable and it's NSFW.

>>13765
The old invisionfree forum might have a few, but most of it is on 1d4chan.
you're looking for http://z10.invisionfree.com/Board_tans/index.php?showforum=8
it might not be canon, but it's entertaining.

Dumping all I have.

Please draw some /x/-tan titties, guys.

>>14113
Rest assured that if I had any artistic talents at all there would be gigabytes of /x/-tan porn by now.

clearly, the only way to make this thing difficult to hijack by any other site such as gaia or ebaums is to add in a lot of porn

Have a shitty repost. I'm lazy and the lack of /tg/x/ is disappointing.

>>14184
Very nice, but I'm unsure who the one in black is.

>>14186
It says /ck/ on her panties.

>>14184
Sorry, ladies. /d/ is still the only... thing... for me.

>>14165
Well /d/ IS just standing there looking ominously seductive. She's practically a sexual catalyst.

I think /d/ (the board) has some sort of psycho-sexual effect on people because I don't think I had a futa fetish a year ago.

>>14218
the same can be said of any board, they don't even have to be the NSFW ones...

Thought I'd draw some /x/ and /a/. They are my favorite.

>>14380>>14381
Also I might color them later if I have time.

Oh my god, I've been wanting to draw stuff for this forever, but kept forgetting.

Has there been anything else for /fit/ and /fa/? I've seen one MS paint comic that I can't find on my computer right now.

ANyway, humbly contributing my renditions of them.

>>14398
Oh man, that's great.

>>14398
>>And it's just sleeping on the couch tonight then

Is.. is /fa/ Buffalo Bill? It makes too much sense.

This is my idea for the apartment complex.
This is not up to scale and it can be changed in shape easily.
Again, an idea. (No handwriting software...blah)

1 outta 2

>>14452
2/2

Note: Floor 1 is the first floor
Floor 2 is basement and any others.

this is the latest revision of the house/apartment/converted orphanage

not a final draft, but getting there

I figure this is the closest related thread to ask, but.

Conrad. We've got a generally-accepted idea of his appearance, but does he have any weapons or combat knowledge to speak of? Same goes for Colette - what are her gauntlets for, exactly?

>>14524
Collete and Conrad don't feature at all in this project, so I couldn't really tell you.

>>14529

I didn't know. Although the Wiki's description of "/co/" is pretty much the same as /co/nrad's.

>>14524
/co/nrad and /co/lette are from a different /co/ project -- they have another thread here on /coc/ -- although the character of "/co/-tan" is very similar to /co/nrad

>>14541

Link to thread, please?

link is here
>>12041

awesome.jpg

>>14533
Basically /co/'s alter ego/superhero persona WOULD BE /co/nrad.
At least that's the way I've been seeing it so far.

A big thanks to the most recent contributions here, including the art and the diagrams.
I was kinda taking a break for a bit myself, and I'm finally starting back into the swing of things now.

We've made some decent progress lately, especially in concern with (nearly) completing /e/.
I think what we have on the board could maybe use a slight revision, but it's damn close to perfect.

shitty original content bump

So cam someone explain to me how to get working on this shit? I saw a dump on /b/ and wanted to ask about it. I looked at the wiki.

I mean, there are some things that could be improved. For example, every board-tan (except /d/) is a human. For some variety, something like /toy/ should be a robot like 2XL or something, not a little girl.

The /a/ and /v/ shit is hilarious. The /a/ being some kind of magical girl and jealous of /x/ is pretty fukken win too.

I noticed there's no /fit/

I guess /ck/ is good, too.

I'm a /b/, /fit/, and /tv/ guy myself. I noticed there is no description for them on the wiki (http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Board-tans#.2Ftrv.2F). I also saw that /b/ is exiled or something? That's sort of lame, honestly. /b/ would be the source of a lot ofhumor, sort of like Norton AV in the OS-tan universe is some lecherous old dude in a world of awesome OS-tans.

I can totally see /fit/ and /sp/ always at each other's throats, like /fit/ is super jacked and /sp/ is more lean. I'm thinking track/bball (or soccer even) vs. Ahnold. /fit/ is frequently seen carrying around a container of whey and oats under his arm.

/tv/ I dunno. I need to think more about this shit. But in any case, good sirs, this shit is awesome for the most part.

Oh, and I hope that /g/ is like super, super pale, maybe to the point that you can see his veins, or maybe he's got a green tint from being out of the sun for so long?

Adopting a trip now, too, and letting it register on this here IRC chatblox McImageposten.

Just a bit more brainstorming before I go to sleep. What about something involving a 4chan Gold Subscription or something, making fun of that. I dunno.

I can see like /c/ going around to everyone's doors in the apartment wanting to go in and visit, but each door is shut with a 4CHAN GOLD ACCOUNT REQUIRED sign posted on each door, kind of finger on lips as she walks around kinda sad and "hummmm" for a while.

No idea of a resolution or punchline or whatever. Just had the idea and wanted to post it before I go to sleep. Fuck it's 5am. :(

>>14851
hey, i was the one who posted that thread
we chat on msn, so see this post
>>11436

>>14847
see >>14398 for /fit/

There's been some talk of a /g/
The first idea was to make her look like Nevada-chan, but personally, I don't think that fits the most mature of all boards...

AFAIK /g/ is a reculse who lives in the basement, never sleeps, and is hacker extraordinaire. Then he moves into a rooftop modular housing thing he builds.

but describing characters by story events is lame

>>14859
>>14871
/g/ is a skinny, bespectacled man who lives in the basement. His room is like the Fortress of Solitude- he rarely leaves it for any reason, since it's home to all his precious technology. His computer systems are top-of-the-line, and he's an extremely skilled hacker. He'll pirate anything for anyone, but it costs them a six-pack of whatever energy drink he's craving at the time. /g/ rarely sleeps, and relies on the aforementioned energy drinks to keep him awake.

Why didnt any one post this yet?

i've got it up on the forum, the following is pretty self-explanatory:

>>14847
/toy/ was originally more Transfan meets Dolljoints/Screwholes (fapfapfap), but certain people didn't seem to care for the design. So a more human /toy/ was offered.

okay new to this, linked from a thread on /b/. Now before you start screaming for me to fuck off id just like to say, this is utterly brilliant. I would love to see more & help out in anyway i can, although i cant draw for love nor money. Anyway, due to my /co/ newfaggotry, i have no idea the boar-tan's backgrounds. I mean i get /x/ /b/ /c/ etc, the more obvious ones but i dont know the relationships between all the boards. (frequentingly mainly /b/ & /x/) so i was wondering if you could help a /b/rother or /co/mrade or whatever out and explain a little.

probably my fault again (I absolutely refuse to give up on this project and so will keep kicking it in the pants until we start doing stuff again)

see this post:
>>14908

visit http://z3.invisionfree.com/Project_4chan/index.php?showtopic=2 for links to a bunch of stuff
which is also the current forums

You know what be cool to see, /co/lette and /ck/ are about to have a face off and /co/nrad is in the backgorund hoping that it will become a awesome cat fight.
