I'll be using this thread to document any particular changes made to the site and/or this board. You may use this thread to discuss said changes.

• Created this board.
• Updated main.html accordingly.
• The following Single-board websites have been returning 404 for a while now and have been therefore marked for deletion: 26ch, Grillchan, Energy Breaker, Interrobang Cartel, Tablecat's Lounge, fart.ga, 42chan.
• 410chan's /d/ became an imageboard and has therefore been marked for deletion.
• world2ch has been gone for a few months now. Honestly I still hope we'll see it return some day, but for the time being it has been marked for deletion.
• TheFurryOne's Writing Critique textboards are 404ing and have been marked for deletion.
• All 2channel.ru redirect to a static page now. I don't read Russian but I presume the site is gone and its domain already waiting its death. Marked for deletion.
• Previous post deleted because I'm stupid

• Added Xarn/ReadSICP's personal /fs/ board.

• Minor backend changes so as to prevent catalog caching and thus guarantee an updated list to the returning visitor.

• Added 48-chan.net.
• The following Single-board websites have been returning 404 for a while now and have been therefore marked for deletion: kotori.me, 4x13.
• Can you believe I'm still fucking up the formatting and had to delete this post?

I'll be waiting for a bit longer before clearing out the dead boards. Eventually I'll list them up on a separate "graveyard" page.

Let me know if you have any archives of these dead textboards.

• Added haruhiism.net's /sup/. I think it's an iichan leftover...
• Fixed goatfinger links.

• Added 1000...

Hello, I'd like you to check out my prototype single-board, un-threaded forum.

https://endpoint.rvklein.ca/

It might not be close enough to a 2ch style board to be worth including in your list, but I hope you do check it out. If I go anywhere with it I might buy it a dedicated domain. Thanks.

Added 1000ch (not to be confused with SAoVQ's /1000/)

Several boards have died. I'll try to get around to pruning the list a little bit...

In the meantime, if you find a good SJIS/ASCII art of a cemetery, or if you wish to make one yourself, make a thread here and hit me up. I want to put dead boards in a separate page.

Posting here is broken? What the fuck did I do now?

Damn!! And posting only seems to work half the time too... If you're reading this and can't post, refresh just in case. If you know how to fix this, uhh... Hit me up here, I guess. If you can. I need to set up an email soon.

test

• Added cchan
• A lot of very interesting websites have been linked here which, even though not making the cut for my probably very ridiculously subjective criteria for textboards, are nonetheless pretty good. Be sure to check them out.

Oct 9:

• After years broken and a mere two-minute conversation with the administration, Bienvenidoainternet's links now work.

• Made a pass at single-board websites' statuses. Unsurprisingly, most of them are gone! The only one that may return is arcturus' mahjong board (though it had posting disabled to begin with) which is down as a consequence of the entire server being down.

• Made a graveyard placeholder page.

• Added elementary, third-party stat tracking code in the main OVERTEXT site and the catalog sidebar!. statcounter was chosen for the sake of simplicity and transparency, and the sole purpose of this tracking code is to measure the OVERTEXT's traffic and its role in everyday textboard navigation. It DOES NOT and WILL NOT track you beyond these two pages and into other textboards. It DOES NOT (and hopefully WILL NOT) imply any hidden commercialization clause or bullshit cryptocurrency mining. It DOES NOT and WILL NOT affect usability of The OVERTEXT or any other textboard. Statcounter logs (if any) are set to be immediately discarded because I don't care about such things, I only look for a general idea of traffic and activity. That said, it can still be easily blocked with your adblocker/scriptblocker of choice (and, for all I know, it might be already doing so by default) - the relevant code can be found at the end of each page's source code. If there's any valid objection against using this service or stat trackers in general, please let me know here.

Added Sonzaishinai World.

almost done with multich

Overtext, are you still alive?

Launch URL will be //0chan.vip . Still need to finish the tagging engine.

• Added Vampiros.ml.

• Added 0chan.vip, part of the multich platform. The concept of a federated, decentralized textboard with a tagging system that truncates the multiplicity of boards makes categorization of this site difficult in our more traditional paradigms, yet it's sufficiently close to "textboard culture" (or whatever "textboard culture" may mean at this point) to warrant inclusion in the OVERTEXT. If and when multich takes off, adding every known node of the federated multich network to the OVERTEXT would be things cumbersome and redundant, not to mention that it would also defeat multich's purpose. So, for the time being, and considering it's a "single link" (which, for classic textboard sites, is synonymous with "single board"), 0chan.vip is the OVERTEXT's de facto entry point for the multich network until the technology continues to develop. After that, who knows...

• Happy new year!

• Laziest Spring cleaning you'll ever see. Several boards have been marked as defunct.

• Fixed Bienvenido a Internet's links after their triumphal return, remaining as the prime latinamerican textboard community.

• goatfinger.gf's links removed permanently due to their links now pointing to third party spam malware. Rest in peace.

• I am now available via e-mail if so needed. Who knows, I might even pay more attention to it than here. Check the Index for mroe info.

You need to update 4-ch's board list. They recently removed some boards.

• Added Ayashii.net, an Ayashii World clone, and Gurochan's /dis/, both part of (or affiliated to?) the kolyma.org network.

• 4-ch has pruned some of its boards recently and its section has been modified as such.

Gurochan's /dis/ is, as you can imagine, part of the larger Gurochan website which, in turn, seems nucleated with two other Guro-adjacent sites. If you don't know what Guro is, then either you're too young to have stumbled into this place or I'm too old to maintain it...

• arcturus.su's Mahjong board is back, but posting capabilities remain broken.

• Added ganbatte.vip.

• Added kolyma.org's /news/.

>>21
there is actually a couple kolyma textboards
https://bbs.kolyma.org
https://jun.kolyma.org/m/
https://live.kolyma.org/newsplus/

Ganbatte has been dead for a while.

text.wizchan.org no longer exists.

admin pls remove ganbatte and move some of the dead boards to the graveyard kthx

Hello again. It's been a while, hasn't it? Then again, we all move at a much slower pace in this corner of the Web. Hopefully I didn't forget my tripcode.

• Added Junkuchan's Whitelist board, part of the a larger site.
• Added Azuco Channel which, even though in Futaba mode, may or may not deserve a special mention for being the first dead Japanese textboard I find.
• Heyuri's Lounge is back (maybe it's been back for a while now...), and so is Gurochan's /dis/.
• Pruned a few boards as per usual, perhaps most notably being Sageru having turned to read-only. Next update will dump all links 404ing to the Graveyard. For real this time!

Shoutout to the author of iblist (https://gitgud.io/iblist/textboards.json) who has graciously linked to the OVERTEXT. Some of the boards listed there are yet to be listed here - and some even appear to be active... there's a few chanlists I've yet to plunder, google searches yet to be refined, and so on. In the meantime, add new boards you find or advertise your own at the BOARDWATCH thread.

• Added Kiramoji, Amenokuni, W3O.net, Uchuu no Kiroku, Ninechan's /dev/ board, iris@sakirnova and three Japanese textboards of dubious origin.

• Remember when I said I'll dump the dead links to the Graveyard by this update? Well, you're gonna have to wait some more still!
