　├■Nice idea!
　││
　││First we need at least one l33t black hat hax0r guy...
　││
　││And a wide variety of unsuspecting bulletin boards with crappy 90s-tier 
　││security...
　││
　││And lots of us users to pile in and cause chaos...
　││
　││...on second thought, maybe we're not ready to raid yet (;´Д`)

　│　│└■Not sure if serious, but it's a fairly crappy article built on several 
　│　│　　false premises and filled with misinformation, so I wouldn't be too 
　│　│　　proud of that!
　│　│　　
　│　│　　Firstly, "textboard" is not terminology used by the Japanese them-
　│　│　　selves. As already stated before, the Japanese nearly always call them 
　│　│　　掲示板 (keijiban), which literally means "bulletin board"
　│　│　　
　│　│　　They don't use that term to distinguish between Western and Japanese 
　│　│　　bulletin boards, nor do they use it to describe any particular type of 
　│　│　　bulletin board (for that they simply add extra words, i.e. "thread-
　│　│　　float type bulletin board", "image bulletin board", "oekaki bulletin 
　│　│　　board", "voice bulletin board", etc.). It covers all of the above, and 
　│　│　　more
　│　│　　
　│　│　　Even in the West, back when Japanese-style bulletin boards had slightly 
　│　│　　more relevance than they do today, a more common label for them was 
　│　│　　"anonymous bulletin board" / "anonymous BBS". You can see it both here:
　│　│　　http://wakaba.c3.cx/shii/ (Shiichan Anonymous BBS)
　│　│　　and here:
　│　│　　https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z3ryRQ8OVA (Anonymous BBS Otakon Panel 
　│　│　　2006)
　│　│　　
　│　│　　And finally: that article seems to give a lot of credence to 2channel, 
　│　│　　when 2ch was - as Hiroyuki himself has stated - basically a clone of 
　│　│　　Amezou. Amezou was the first Japanese bulletin board to implement a 
　│　│　　thread-float script (meaning that threads "floated" to the top of the 
　│　│　　index when they received new replies - "bumping", essentially), and yet 
　│　│　　the "textboard" article makes no mention of it!
　│　│　　
　│　│　　UZEEEeee "textboard" (;´Д`)

　│　│　　
　│　└■Well, to understand the situation you first have to realize that the 
　│　　　term "textboards" is just a Shii-ism - it took off mainly because by 
　│　　　the time the West found out about 2ch, Japanese imageboards already 
　│　　　existed to compare them with. The Japanese have always called them 
　│　　　掲示板 (keijiban), which literally means "bulletin board" (even in the 
　│　　　sense of their real life counterpart) - so really we should just call 
　│　　　them that!
　│　　　
　│　　　Western bulletin boards include things like PHP forums and sites like 
　│　　　Reddit, so there are in fact popular Western "textboards" out there, 
　│　　　and have been for decades - but they all require registration and user-
　│　　　names, because that's simply the way our online culture developed back 
　│　　　in the 90s
　│　　　
　│　　　Will anonymous, registration-less bulletin boards in the West ever be 
　│　　　popular? Probably not. They're pretty much always going to only appeal 
　│　　　to an extremely narrow niche. They simply arrived on our shores too 
　│　　　late for anyone besides a handful of anime-loving nerds to take them 
　│　　　seriously, and were extremely antiquated by 2003's standards - hell, 
　│　　　even by 1999's!
