Lads, I dug too deep, and now I have achieved encyclopedic knowledge of imageboard history. It began with the wikibooks 4chan chronicle and the timeline on
tanasinn.info, and now I'm knee deep in dozen-page essays, dead pages, and ancient obscure moderators. Internet archaeology and history should be a proper field at this point. The worst thing is that because everyone's anon, I have no clue what they're doing right now, and that's an uncomfortable feeling for some reason.
