History of 4chan's /qa/ - Question & Answer board

>why am I writing this

Personal endearment.

>but why now?

Arguably the most revisioned board lore on the site.

>well, then?

An offtopic/meta community composed of posters from disparate origins that prematurely died due to aggression by off-site cliques.

Basic demographics:

"old" /qa/

• metaposters
  • nostalgic oldfags (am I permitted to use this lingo?)
  • 4chan trivia aficionados --> made nice map threads
  • internet hobbyist --> bibanon is here
  • late /qa/ metaposters --> 2019/2020 generation, jaded as they get
• complaintposters
  • DELETEPOL
  • /a/fags
  • armchair admins --> countless of "how do i fix 4chan" threads.
• sfwofftopicposters
  • board-tans general
  • happening general
  • 4chan cup
  • [s4s], /bant/ & /a/jp/
  • /bant/ / /int/ frogposting ---> 2019/2020, nicer than they looked.
