Can I ask this here? Not like my Japanese skillz are still good enough, especially not for slang and casual speech, but whatever, you can't even access it anymore. I wouldn't mind inquiring about a former gravure idol or just browse, FFS.
I’ve only been on the Japanese net a little but from my limited experience it seems a lot of websites automatically block overseas posters. A VPN might let you view posts but posting will likely be blocked. For another website you might be able to befriend a moderator on an international website to get an account but that’s probably not going to work on an imageboard. Maybe VPN + email verification if they have it?
>>51100917Yeah, more and more Japanese sites seem to be blocking non-Japanese IPs, but it didn't use to be like that. I remember being able to at least visit 5ch, never posted though. On top of that, I've read that 5ch has some tedious rules you have to follow or something. But thanks anyway.
Try vpngate, it's free.Jim got into hot water because of the animal torture videos shared on the pet hate board and banned gaikoku.
>>51100927Is it true that 5ch requires a special browser to be even able to post? I saw that being talked about.>>51103216The hatred came before that. BBSPink (before it died) was inaccessible in many countries.
>>51103325Yeah, but 5ch was accessible before epik suspended his .net domain, it came back on .io with the block in place

>>51103216>pet hate boardI get that it's an Asian site but that's an actual thing?
>>51100856this discussion belongs in the japanese board discussion general>>51092896
>>51100856it works perfectly fine for me and I live in the UShave you tried 2ch.sc (mirror site) or is it the same?
>>511052341. This is 5ch, not Futaba.2. That's not a general.3. Stop encouraging generals, retard.
>>51104329I think it depends on the country. 5ch.net/.io have always been accessible where I'm from, but even in the .net days, it was apparently blocked in the US.
>>51105075The board's original purpose was to complain about annoying pets and their retarded owners but it turned into an animal torture video exchange ring I guess.
