I consider myself conversant with 4chan, and I had no idea that the dis subdomain existed.

I always wondered if there was a chan for hackers...now I realize there is. And oh boy, what a chan it is.

Most decent sized chans have their /prog/ board. See shii's Overchan[1] for a comprehensive list of chans on the WWW.

Shii personally runs a pretty nice chan called 4-ch[2] with a large and decent DQN[3] textboard. (S)he founded this chan after being banned from 4chan and SomethingAwful. I don't know whether shii still frequents 2ch or Futaba.

I don't consider the English chans online for programming to be all that great. Most (if not all) are textboards with few postings and lots of trolling over the last 3 years. I don't know the state of the huge Japanese ones however, as I do not frequent them or read the language.

    Squeeks runs 4-ch, not shii.

    edit:

    also, shii doesn't run overchan either--Mohey Pori does

    from what I remember, someone DDoS'd it in their war against all imageboards (can't remember who) and shii ended up hosting it

      You are correct. In my defense, I only know of 4-ch from some mentions on irc; I haven't personally been there myself yet to check it out.

      edit: also, I assumed shii ran overchan because it was hosted on her domain. Anyhow, shii is functionally dead now, so RIP.
