User: Groid raper 1488 was vandalizing this page in mid February, changing the "thousands of anons" line to "thousands of niggers".

The main reason why /pw/ had the name change was due to the Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund buying WWE.

Suggestions / Requests

30 Sep 2023 - /his/ gets the first sticky since the board's creation, and is transported to the year 1437 AD/CE >>>/his/15678043

07 Oct 2023 - /his/ gets a follow-up sticky, and is transported to the year 1692 AD/CE >>>/his/15708907

22 Jan 2024 - For years, logposters on /b/ have tried to force the meme "heaven has gained an angle" by falsely claiming that Corey Harrison, a cast member of the History TV series Pawn Stars, has died. This takes an ironic turn when his brother Adam Harrison suddenly dies of a drug overdose. Mods make a sticky and autoplay the instrumental to the Pawn Stars theme in the catalog for a couple of hours. The sticky is laughably slow and mostly consists of unawares wondering what is going on and logposters claiming victory.

replace all of them with arch.b4k.dev because the old domain got nuked.

Split Timelines

--User: Matryoshka

he history of [s4s] has been moved to its own separate page; this will happen to every board soon. The same users having a bitch fit about "stickies we dont give a fuck about" keep adding melodramatic board drama that passes in a day to the article, and said this is the reason "/jp/ died", even though the thing about imageboards is, boards can always bounce back from AIDS if enough good threads are made to set an example. Either way, if you find something interesting and historic enough to add it to "the history of /jp/" article, go right ahead.

As of May 2023, this has only been done for /mlp/ and [s4s], this really should be done for all of them, and we should endeavor even more forms of differentiation to make the history easier to navigate by topic.

I completely agree. Would making finding stuff way easier than just doing CTRL-F for the board you want to look up on the timeline. An infobox template for board info like the date of creation, bump limit, archive coverage etc. would be nice too.
