Continuing from >>17

So, if we look at tumblr and what it is, it's basically the itchy and unholy polyamorous marriage of everything: image board, twitter, and livejournal. I think I'm going to throw up a little... I'm not sure you can compete with the blob. It consumes all.

So, assuming that tumblr hasn't already swallowed the concept whole along with all others, how do you make 2ch for the west? Do you stress anonymity? 4chan does that already. No one uses its text boards though, because they're garbage (and it was w2ch users that suggested them in the first place and for that, I AM SO SORRY). They're too plain, too hidden, and just too clunky and old. It's time to rethink the concept....

I'm not sure what to say other than I think it may be time to take a deep breath and let go of what we believe in...

Maybe it shouldn't be so plain. Maybe it shouldn't be so organized. What it needs to thrive in the West is to be less Japanese...
