www.boards.jp Whats this then??

radiospan

I was doing a Google search and I came across this website:

http://www.boards.jp/

It's like stepping into a parallel universe or something.

What's the connection with boards.ie?

Was it started by DeVore too?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

it's evil

if you value your sanity, avoid it.

Was it started by DeVore too?

Oriel

That's quite an eye-opener actually.
I'd like to know that the link is between the two.

Bound to be one of three things:

• They copied us
• We copied them
• Both sites got their design from a template.

Which is it?

Probably option 1, but with "us" and "them" actually being the one: "Cloud".

www.boards.us uses phpBB, not vBulletin I notice.

All Cloud related.

boards.jp aka animetomanga.com is a scary place.

Kain

Both Boards.jp & Boards.us were started by Cloud.

Weird that Boards.us is mostly full of irish people .

Oriel

A lot of people using ntl and UTV as ISP appear to be counted as accessing form the UK. dotcoms (including things like ie.ibm.com) default to the USA.

The .jp avatars are cool. They should be knicked forthwith.

woosaysdan

the boards.us have a simpsons forum i want a simpsons forum here!!!

Cloud talks briefly about the expansion in his blog here:

jesus_thats_gre

split personality boards..

Woden

someone showed me boards.jp a while back and i realised it had a dedicated FF board, which this thread has just reminded me off

off i got to post

Caesar_Bojangle

it'd be cool if you could use the one account to access boards.ie, boards.jp and boards.us

billy the squid

I dont know if that would be possible with boards.us as it uses a different bulletin boards program, but it would be cool though.

Caesar_Bojangle

what are the chances of a british boards?

Moriarty

boards.co.uk / boards.org.uk are already taken, which would prove problematic.

pickarooney

Is it absolutely necessary to use the co/org etc. bits in British addresses? If you tried to register something like www.boards.uk what would happen?

ecksor

A big van full of burly men would come around to your house and beat the living daylights out of you.

Anyway, that's not important. One day we'll have http://www.boards.gov.uk/

MiCr0

you can't register blah.uk
it has to be co.uk/ac.uk/org.uk etc

billy the squid

suppose you could register www.boards.eu soon enough.

Not entirely true.

steveland?

It's using phpBB though instead of vBulletin (.us is)

Obviously it's not important enough to purchase another licence for vB

It's interesting though. Cloud's avatar on .jp is cool though

Wow, boards.jp! The target audience, Irish in Japan??
Just wondering, becuase it is not in Japanese.

(I've never been to Japan, so I am just curious I guess. Do a lot of Japanese people speak English)

Nothing to do with Ireland per se iirc.

Mostly an anime & manga forum, but has recently expanded quite a bit by the looks of things.

boards.jp was founded as Manga to Anime on 02-02-01. The admins are Cloud and BakaMattSu. Our mascot is Miia, designed by Skuld.

there is a soccer board on boards.jp. take note those who can't get sponsored here.
