　■Rest in peace Garanger 2007-2022
　│
　└■It's still online (;^Д^)
　　│
　　└■Yes, but it has given a 403 for a month now which means pretty much dead.
　　　│
　　　└■Only to users outside Japan, common VPNs, etc. - it is still online and 
　　　　│receiving basically the same amount of activity that it had before 
　　　　│(minus the spam)
　　　　│
　　　　└■Not true some Japanese i know personally cannot see it.
　　　　　│
　　　　　└■K, but it's still online and active regardless: https://2ch.sh/src/2544.png
　　　　　　│
　　　　　　└■Again, you misunderstand the context by dead I mean it being available for everyone to see.
　　　　　　　│
　　　　　　　└■That's not what dead means!! ヽ(ﾟДﾟ;)ノ
　　　　　　　　│
　　　　　　　　└■Whatever you say. The Japs who run Garanger are acting like a bunch of North Koreans or mainland Chinese chinks right now.  It is pretty racist to assume all non-Japanese are spam bots or trolls. Also, blocking trolls is fucking retarded trolls are apart of board culture both in the west and in Japan they should know that.
　　　　　　　　　│
　　　　　　　　　└■That's really not the case - most spam does in fact comes from foreign 
　　　　　　　　　　│IPs (from Japan's perspective), and trolls are not "board culture"
　　　　　　　　　　│
　　　　　　　　　　│Every website has it's own culture, but virtually every Japanese bullet-
　　　　　　　　　　│in board, big or small, has strong rules against trolling, vandalism, 
　　　　　　　　　　│spam, etc. The proponents of internet anarchy and destruction have 
　　　　　　　　　　│always been a small undesirable minority at best, both in Japan and the 
　　　　　　　　　　│West!
　　　　　　　　　　│
　　　　　　　　　　└■ Regardless i don't think they should be blocking the site North Korea style. They could just implement some kind of captcha like 4chan to prevent spam or do what futaba does make the site viewable to everyone but only Japan IPs can post.  Also, to claim trolls are not apart of Japanese board culture is revisionist history because while it is true that each board has its own rules and culture i am pretty sure the original mid 90s Strange World and 2ch were both populated by a lot of trolls.  (´ー`)
　　　　　　　　　　　│
　　　　　　　　　　　└■I didn't say they didn't exist, I said that they were a small undesir-
　　　　　　　　　　　　│able minority that most bulletin boards wanted to get rid of (which is 
　　　　　　　　　　　　│as true today as it was 20+ years ago) ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
　　　　　　　　　　　　│
　　　　　　　　　　　　│The founding members of Guess swiftly left Ayashii to form their own 
　　　　　　　　　　　　│community, and would frequently attack Ayashii World boards and just 
　　　　　　　　　　　　│about everyone else at the time, to the chagrin of everyone (particular-
　　　　　　　　　　　　│ly Shiba). Shiba also set up Nazo as a containment board for annoying 
　　　　　　　　　　　　│troll-like users
　　　　　　　　　　　　│
　　　　　　　　　　　　│2ch has always specifically banned trolling too:

　　　　　　　　　　　　│I'll DeepL the relevant sections - translation will be b0rked but 
　　　　　　　　　　　　│you'll get the gist of what it says:

　　　　　　　　　　　　│
　　　　　　　　　　　　└■Irrelevant because trolls are hated on the internet regardless of what country you are in. Maybe if the admins weren't lazy cunts and did their job, they wouldn't have a problem with spam. Also, again they don't need to act like gooks and chinks they can just do the other stuff i suggested.  ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌
