Hello, everyone on reddit. I am a user of a bulletin board called 2ch.net in Japan. 2ch.net is the largest anonymous bulletin board in Japan, which was established in 1999 and where various topics and cultures were born. However, in 2014, the server management rights were transferred to an American named Jim Watkins. After that, 2ch.net was renamed to 5ch.net, and Jim ran 5ch.net dictatorially. Jim ignored the opinions of the users, forced advertisements and paid membership systems. He also did not delete content that violated Japanese law and violated the privacy of the users. We could not stand this situation and moved to a bulletin board called 2ch.sc, which was opened by Hiroyuki Nishimura, the former administrator of 2ch.net. However, 2ch.sc is smaller than 5ch.net, and many users remained on 5ch.net. We hope for the revival of 2ch.net, but Jim does not want to give up the domain of 2ch.net. So, we started an activity to get back the domain of 2ch.net. We are doing the following things.

We created a homepage that introduces the history and culture of 2ch.net. We launched a petition site that asks for the return of the domain of 2ch.net. We opened an open chat to connect the users of 2ch.sc and 5ch.net. We are looking for legal ways to get back the domain of 2ch.net. We want to protect the unity of the users of 2ch.net and the freedom of the bulletin board through this activity. However, we do not have enough power by ourselves. Therefore, we would like to ask for your cooperation, everyone on reddit. If you agree with the revival of 2ch.net, we would appreciate it if you could do the following things.

Please sign the petition site.
Please spread the homepage and the open chat.
Please provide advice and information to get back the domain of 2ch.net.
Please write on the bulletin board of 2ch.sc and interact with the users.
Everyone on reddit, please support us.
2ch.net is a part of Japan’s internet culture.
We want to protect that culture and pass it on to the next generation.
Please cooperate with our activity.
