Now, there's certainly a playful reference to the SilkRoad, but it's just that, playful. To quote a description of Agoraroad a friend of mine there gave, "It's a tiny anti-establishment vaporwave forum." Also these days the vaporwave aspect of the forum is more secondary than it used to be

    Lain Well damn, I just got here and already ran into another traveller.
    As for me, Agora Road, lainchan, uboachan, tohno-chan, zzzchan and late.city when it was still up.

        Lumeinshin I used to frequent most of the english textboards when they still had activity. Very sad the concept never took hold in the english speaking world.

        Only one that still seems to get some posting is Post Office. It's a very comfy and high quality stopping place. Most rewarding to check it once every few weeks.

          Holy shit, you used to browse Tohno-chan too? That was a crazy place. Never have I been anywhere else with such a dense concentration of misery.

            denpa just went on Tohno real quick, and…those are a lot of rules. I get it, there’s so much wrong with 4chan currently, but…just chill, already. Was it always like that?

                I used to browse Tohno-chan a bit over 10 years ago. I don't remember what the rules precisely were back then, but I do remember somebody getting banned for claiming/admitting that they were a girl. For lack of a better way of phrasing it, Tohno-chan was always intended to be a safe space for dysfunctional male losers (that might sound harsh but just browse the /so/ and /mai/ boards and see for yourself.) One of my friends once decided to troll there by posting a thread about how he turned his life around by going to church and volunteering, he was permanently banned within an hour for that. There's the famous saying that "misery loves company", and that's basically Tohno-chan.

                  I tried signing up for Agoraroad. Did anyone else have a slow time getting the confirmation e-mail? I entered my Outlook e-mail, but it didn’t show up.

                  following on from my prior post, A little shout out of sorts goes to https://wapchan.org/
                  They are a smaller imageboard focused on older anime/manga. I've been popping on and lurking a fair bit. I think my older anime tastes are too cheesy and slightly embarrassing to post about so i've put it off, maybe on a quiet evening i'll post there.
                  They have a site redesign in the works too
                  Definitely worth a peek!

                      gingermilk Are you someone who can talk about Cyberpunk stuff with me later? Should we have a thread for that?

                          MO I might not be that knowledgeable on cyberpunk stuff but I like its general vibe. lume suggested the cyberculture thread but maybe you want something that is focusing specifically on the internet part?

                            For me it's hitchwiki.org and hitchmaps.com, they are SUPER useful for hitchhiking, they tell you exactly where to stand in any city and it mostly works. I recommend doing a hitchhiking tour at least once in your life. I did it from Norway to Iraq and back and wouldn't have achieved it without this. Well, in Iraq and southeastern Turkey the roads are so bad you can hitch anywhere but still

                            I had a little look, seems cool, if its custom made its impressive for sure. There's a couple niggles with some pages missing ie about section and the layout on mobile but otherwise that anon has done a good job, I guess you saw it via an ad on 4chan?

                                Yeah, I saw it on an ad just like the ones you've got there.

                                    Especially the myspace-like retro ones

                                    I like to check on heyuri.net every now and again, comfy board culture for casual perusing. The Ayashii world thing they have is fun as well, a little glimpse into the Japanese internet culture of the past. Any Heyurians here?
