    • Asukaspammer celebrates with crapflood N°6[68].
  • 2016-11-10 to 16 - Questions Raid - The breakneck speed of /qa/ creates generalized chaos as the board gets several hundred threads, most composed of single line questions or inane statements. Accusations of raids get thrown around, but it is likely a shitpost bandwagon.[69]

  • 2016-11-11 - Winter Ball 2016 - The third 4chan Board-tans event arrived late with no board acting as official hub.

Compared to 2015, most don't make bump limit except for a select few boards. Multiple small dates are carried out by crossboarding drawfags with the /qa/ board-tans general acting as impromptu hub.

  • 2016-12-17 - Firing of Anonymous-San - Anonymous makes a complaint demanding the unbanning of /pol/'s /diy/, a raid thread using fire safety regulations protocols to close down spaces[84].

  • 2017-01-21 - Icemen Raid - "Icemen", a fad of liberal activists organizing off-site start using /qa/ as a public platform for their activities. Icing consists on reporting technically rulebreaking threads on /pol/, such as raid threads, as GR1 violations, on the assumption they won't be punished for it.

  • 2017-10-24 - Listing of /qa/
    • The mods didn't take Hiroyuki's interference well. The next day, without any explanation, /qa/ becomes a listed board. A blog announcement is made, the board HTML is changed, with an off-topic section reading [r9k / s4s / vip / qa]. Part of the reason seems to be to curtail the constant "Hiro-approved meta thread" spam and formalize Hiro's insistence on using /qa/ as meta, but the true reason is likely an affable excuse to move secondary threads akin to NeoGAF's from the hobby boards.[187]
    • Everybody groans.[188]
    • It's revealed the spinoff clique, called the weeb mafia by then, ran an IRC channel, #qa @ irc.sageru.org, the anonIRCd server of meltingwax of /jp/ fame. However nobody recognized the chat.[189]
    • [s4s] mourns the loss of their brackets and their status as the only board on the off-topic section.
    • Hours later, After struggling for a bit, Hiro makes a locked "welcome to /qa/" sticky saying that other than meta topics the board has "no specific theme". Mods ban honking on penalty of fine.[190].
    • Anon honks anyways and gets a fine for his troubles.[191]

  • 2017-11-04 - Winter Ball 2017 Fail - Board-tan fans learn on November that mods are suppressing Winter Ball threads by sending them to /trash/, and those that aren't fail to get traction with content creators. With the /qa/ Board-tans general lost months ago, organization is effectively gone. Anons try to organize a hub on /qa/ but it sadly putters out, with a few illustrations as compensation. Site-wide, there's little activity outside /bant/ and /qst/. This arguably marks the end of board-tans as general 4chan culture.[199]
