The boards
Who made these memes, and how much of each community is back.
/b/
0 of 7 revivedNo topic and almost no rules. The board that gave the internet its worst habits and its best jokes.
Open board →/v/
0 of 3 revivedVideo games, and years of arguing about video games. Its in-jokes spread to every forum that followed.
Open board →/a/
0 of 1 revivedAnime and manga. Reaction images started here long before anyone called them reaction images.
Open board →/g/
0 of 1 revivedTechnology, Linux and telling strangers to install Gentoo.
Open board →/int/
0 of 2 revivedEvery post carries a country flag, so the whole board is countries making fun of each other.
Open board →/r9k/
0 of 1 revivedA bot mutes anyone who posts something already said. Originality was the only rule.
Open board →/biz/
0 of 1 revivedBusiness and finance on paper. In practice, crypto before crypto traders had anywhere else to go.
Open board →4chan
1 of 12 revivedThe ones no single board can claim. They ran across all of 4chan at once.
Open board →rage comics
0 of 9 revivedStick figures in MS Paint, four panels, one punchline. They left 4chan and took over the internet.
Open board →early web
0 of 25 revivedForums, flash sites and chain emails. The early internet that 4chan kept passing around.
Open board →Meme timeline
Every meme by when it appeared, where anyone can say. Blue is back.
One meme. One slot.
A meme can only come back once. The first coin takes the slot, with the original name and ticker, and every later attempt gets turned away. There is nothing to vamp.
How reviving works
One meme, one coin. Its slot stays locked for good.
>pick any open meme from any board
>launch it as a coin. the picture, name and ticker are the original’s, locked
>launch it with your wallet. you are the creator and keep 100% of the creator fee
>it turns blue on the board with its coin, and nobody can launch it again
61 memes left to revive.
Each one launches once. Pick yours before someone else does.
