A thread for anything and everything concerning the anthropomorphic (or otherwise in some cases) personifications of boards on 4chan and possibly other chan based websites.

I guess I'm the one doing this since no one else has bothered to make a thread for them here on the new /coc/ board yet.
If there is ever a 4chanime, I think I know how to get about it.
Season 1: Focus on the main cast being /a/, /co/, /tg/, /x/, and /v/. There will be appearances with /d/ and other boards that were the main focus from the 4chanhouse site. Season 1 will be mostly the season on goofing off. Most likely this is where the initial pairings take place. The time is pre-2010. The villain depicted is /b/.
Season 2: It's not anything new to have boards be deleted. This is the plot for season 2 that introduces special appearances from sites outside of 4chan.
Season 3: 4chan 2012. /r9k/ and /pol/ (/new/) returns. The main villain is /pol/. The plot goes through clashes with reality vs. internet. At this point, outside sites have made regular appearances with the 4chan boards.
Season 4: TBA.
OVAs: Pretty much fanfiction material that covers the Winterball, 4chan cup, and various activities with 4chan users, including creations of the /co/verse, /tg/verse, etc.
Man, the /aco/-tan threads suck ass in a majorly non-sexy way.
Everyone is so caught up in wanting their design to be the board-tan that it's turned nasty and now everyone just attacks everyone else and tries to make everyone hate the designs they don't like.
They've been stuck in that loop for a week at least.
I don't know anything about /aco/. I usually leave the porn boards alone until their personalities are established (or somehow formed for an educated guess).
/aco/ had a very heated and prolonged argument over who /aco/-tan should be. They have yet to resolve the issue and are now trying to ignore it because of how much shitposting happens when it gets brought up.
Meanwhile, I've seen a ghost and a marble statue proposed for /his/-tan. An opossum furry rolling around in garbage for /trash/-tan seems to be generally agreed upon already. And I haven't seen anything for the /news/ board yet, though I haven't been looking. I hope it's not another /pol/, that design has already been used for both /new/ and /pol/ in the past.
The /new/ design was used for /pol/ because of the /new/ redirect. It was one of the reasons /pol/ users couldn't settle on the design of their board tan. They literally had two different userbases on the board.
>>51847 The latest is J/aco/lyn is the /aco/tan with /Aco/rn as her sidekick a la /co/lette. The other potential tans are now residents and costumers of a brothel including Madam Peacock. So a nice expanded universe already. This agreement seems to make the most people satisfied. The BrokenLynx style seems to be the most accepted.
Writefaggotry is /aco/ is the old West of 4chan, J/aco/lyn is a Lone Ranger type hero with her largely mute sidekick deputy /aco/rn. They rustle up /d/eviants and eastern hentai that have wandered into /aco/ territory. Maybe /d/tan is a villain here. The daring duo owe money to Peacock and stay/work at her brothel.
/qst/ is now a board has a tan that seems to be accepted as of now. /qst/ is a trial board so who knows if it'll stick around forever but I thought I'd share.
/qst/ian (pronounced like Christian) is a little brother of /tg/tan. Has a bird familiar. Is a little kid ready for adventure. That's it as of now.
Some are trying to push for female /qst/tan instead of male, but just a skirt instead of overalls. Seems to be exactly the same characterization otherwise
-A height chart for the male board tans (females afterwards). -Storywriting for YNH (personal project) -A smoother animation for this one gif I made of /pol/ drinking
Things I'm currently doing for board tans: -Small board tan doodles on 4chan's /i/ board (I don't mind an oekaki on plus4chan, I can draw on both) -Updating some 2013 profiles on boards added afterwards.
