The Yotsuba Society was a site with several interesting essays regarding the root of imageboard culture in Japan, effectively tracing it back to its very earliest days. If Jkid doesn't his shit together, I'm going to republish a few of them here. We'll never know the exact story because Jkid, his allies, and his enemies are completely unreliable sources. From what I can gather, his donated hosting vaporized (?July 2012) and he moved it somewhere with Windows-based (jesus christ wtf why) hosting. With everything having been made for real hosting, now nothing works. It's clear that the reason the site is now dead is because Jkid and/or his people are apparently utterly incompetent. Hate to say it, but is there any other answer? A child and his copy of Big Bird Teaches HTML ((C) 1997) could have pieced something semi-functional by now… You're not setting a good example for the team, Jkid! I'm sure glad this came across as a snippy office memo…
