why is this board called /g/ when the word "Technology" clearly starts with the letter "T"?
cause its the g sound in technolo/g/y
That this bait keeps working proves that 4chan is not dying and still gets neofags.
>>109850923>posting this before the bait workedare you retarded? perhaps on purpose?
>>109850862It's the g in a/g/i
>>109850862Gechgology
>>109850872but that's a j sound nona
技術
>>109852160Why did the N get replaced
>>109852190because the J is cheaper
>>109850862listen to me you little shit you better respect transwomen and you better not ever hit them under any circumstances. ever. i am from the future. it sucks. you need to take this: https://files.catbox.moe/yjz5g9.pdf and you save it, you give this to as many people as possible and stop posting that damn frog
>>109850862why not /n/ ?
>>109850862japanese idiot L2S
>>109850862This board is about /g/ynecology though
>>109850862Okay, newfag. It's about time this old sage passes down the history of this board to you. Many moons ago, there was once a man named "moot" (always lowercased). He used to run this website. One day as a semi-joke, he made a board called "/g/ - Guro". It went about as bad as you would expect. So he took it away.Several moons later, anons were asking for /g/ back. So moot, being the troll king that he was, remade /g/ but change the name to "/g/ - INSTALL GENTOO". It became a board mainly for Linux users and FOSS enthusiasts to discuss their shared hobby. As the moons passed on by, moot left, and the board shifted from just Linux to technology in general. So the mods decided to change the board name to reflect this, hence "/g/ - Technology".Now you know the tale of /g/, and when the time comes, I expect you to pass down this tale to the next of kin so that it may never be forgotten.
>>109850862The G is silent, like in GNU
>>109852588Ol ahh unc ahh bih fr cappin
>>109852588Elder-sama can you tell us the one about how /g/ created /biz/?
/x/ stands for xaranormal & xonspiracies
>>109850862/tech/ was taken by some anime thing back when this was an anime website. Then that anime board died, but /g/ remained.
>>109852166is it a gif sound?
I remember when terry davis was still alive and /g/ was paranoid of anything not FOSShttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zQD0Kizizo
>>109852588why u lying
It's an anime based image board so /t/orrents are more important.
gijutsu, japanese for technology. many boards are named like this, like "/n/ - Transportaton" is i think norimono
>>109852588Thank you, wise old sage
>>109852588Thanks unc, I never really gave a shit but now I know.

>>109850862https://jisho.org/search/gijutsuit's ancient knowledge from when the owner was japanese
>>109850862
>There were people who used this site that went "Ah yes let me check the Gijutsu board"crazy stuff
>>109856497what's more crazy is people coming here who hate japanese culture, who don't even know it was made by a huge weeb and is a clone of a japanese imageboard
>>109850862It used to be the "loli" board and the Japanese word for loli start with a G
>>109856833It didn't even last that long as a loli board. Less than a year I think.
>>109856833the japanese word for loli is "loli". there was briefly a loli board, /l/ - Lolikon, but was deleted before /g/ was established
>>109856879The lolikon /l/ board was created, deleted and re-created in the space of two months. Created in 2003-11-03, deleted in 2003-12-29 and re-created in 2004-01-08. 2004-10-31 it was finally deleted because of worries over legal action.2003-10-09 /g/ is created as "guro". 2003-12-12 /g/ gets deleted. 2004-11-15 /g/ as "guro" gets deleted again for the final time for similar reasons to lolikon I imagine.2005-01-19 /g/ returns as the technology board.That first 1-2 year period from the launch of 4chan to getting settled was like watching a bomb go off.
>>109852623X is an obvious reference to The X-Files
>>109850862Because gay starts with g and this board ia full gay.
>>109856888>>109857049I hate the autistic
>>109850862Because /loli/ is no more.
Because of /g/entoo
>>109850862Because you know what else starts with a T?
>>109856745I've been here longer than most and I used to be a big weeb as a teenager but that shit got old and gay over a decade ago and now I fucking hate weeaboos, animefags, and japan as a land mass.
>>109850862weebs will tell you it stands for gijutu but that's pretty hard to believeIn reality it was probably:t already takene already takenc already takenh already takenn already takeno already takenl already taken (yes, it was)g -> not yet taken
>>109857921eh, i'm a less extreme version of that. i've been here literally over 20 years, was hugely into anime back then but nowadays don't really think about it at all. don't hate it though.
>>109857930/y/ is also taken, by the way. Check it out some day.
It stands for goyim
>>109857930it's surely just a coincidence the boards with strange letters happen to have a japanese word which when written in romaji start with the same letter, huh?this website was surely not influenced by the japanese, right? it doesn't look like a blatant 2chan clone, no. it didn't call several boards literally their japanese names like "ecchi", "hentai", "loli", "shota", etc.. no...
>>109852588
>>109852598guh noo?
/g/eeks/g/oyim/g/olly
>>109859697Exactly. It's not silent, like in Guh-noo.
>>109850862It's /g/ for Ghee because this board is indian
>/l/ - Lolikon>/sm/ - Shota/Male>/tl/ - Torrents/loli
>>109860115remember what they took from you
>>109852588The story is false sadly.>2003/early 2004 /g/ - Guro is created by moot.>October 2004 /g/ - Guro is removed.>January 2005 /g/ - Technology is created as part of a broader 4chan restructuring.the letter g is because of the word gijutsu (技術), Japanese for “technology”>>109852614Created in February 2014 to move crypto threads out of /g/>Cryptocurrency discussion belongs on /biz/.is still in /g/’s official sticky/rules.
>>109852588I am pretty sure it stood for /g/ay and it still is
