Hurrah! I thought this day would never come! I hope all old /mai/dens will be back and that many newcomers will come along! New BO, could you tell us who’s your waifu and how the board’s ownership came between your hands? And thanks for bringing /mai/ back!

>>70032 Well, I lurked on /mai/ when 8chan was still up and then came to 8kun when it came up and sat here for a while waiting for the /mai/ board to come back online. It never did so I figured I'd just take care of it and sent in the request and got ownership, so that's how I got ownership.

>>70035 I expected all the old threads to be gone after the fall of 8chan, unless the previous BO would have asked for the board to be migrated. I’m really happy to see everything is still there!

>>70043 From what I've learned, 8kun still has all the previous boards on their servers, they only bring them back up at request though.

Guess who's back? Back again? /mai/ is back. Tell a friend.

Welcome back /mai/! Me and Yukari are not going anywhere. I love her a lot! Furthermore it's her birthday in a month. Pandemy and all I think it will be harder to buy her some nice tank model to build together on the Internet. However I have several nice contingency plans for it.

>/mai/ is resurrected on my waifu's birthday I'll drink to that

>>70031 1. Who are you? 2. Why did you resurrect this board? 3. Who is your waifu? 4. Is there any way you and I could keep in touch? I'm just trying to gauge that you have good intentions by bringing back /mai/

>>70059 For 2, I resurrected the board because I was tired of it being gone when it's a good board. For 4, I'll give it out in the same way the Discord server was given out, make a message here and watch the thread for the ban message

>>70069 Are you planning on staying the owner of the board?

>>70070 Yes

>>70069 Is there a reason why you seem to avoid telling us who is your waifu? Our objective is not to put you on the spot. We would simply like to know a bit more about the person who is running our beloved board. And it will be easier for us to consider you as one of us if you don’t remain that mysterious anonymous entity.

>>70072 It's an issue with posting it here. If you make a quick throwaway post I'll give you a way to contact me and it's there where I'll reveal myself.

>>70074 Are you ok with giving your contact info to me? I will make a throwaway post as well, unless 16crystals can send me it on Discord And I've been wondering, are you that lesbian waifuist that I remember talking to once or twice? The way you speak (type?) and your issue with revealing your waifu on the board gives me deja vu Though, as you can see, I'm no longer a lesbian waifuist myself

>>70072 >>70075 >>70059 Given contact info, try to make a post and check the ban message.

So, I guess I've dug myself into such a hole that I have no choice but to answer some questions directly on this board, no fault of anyone except my own. So, let's start. I started lurking on /mai/ in March of 2019, but it would take me a while to get comfortable enough to post, and would make my first post on the 27th of July during that year, that post being >>69981, shortly afterwards, however, 8chan would go down, as I'm sure we're all aware, and I had no ability to post. Over those next few months I waited for 8chan to come back online, and eventually it did in November, but as 8kun, and I sat there waiting for the old /mai/ board to come back online, but it never did, so eventually I took it upon myself to claim the board and try to relaunch it with the hope of getting the same community I had lurked and watched interact with each other back onto the board. As for it, I did link my introduction, and that does tell who my SO is, that being Emilia from Re:Zero, whom I love and cherish very much and have been with for two years. Now the question lies in what I plan to do with the board? Well, as stated, I really just intend for it to return to the same state it was before 8chan went down. The rules that were here will still be the ones used for the board and will be enforced as such. But I will also be relying on the people here to help me do that and give me input or feedback on the board and any decisions I make regarding it. Thank you all for reading, I hope this answers some questions. I will try to go forth answering questions as best as I can, especially now that the seemingly most pressing questions have been answered.

Woah. I was worried about what happened to the 8chan board and it's anons. I'm happy at least some of you have found this place. I hope the rest are okay and have found a home, especially Rubyfag.

>>70069 Alright, shoot, this is a throwaway post

>>70076 Didn't work

>>70080 Try again

Good to be back, been years guys.

>>70078 I'm still alive. I've been hanging out in some small discord servers and such. I was kind of hesitant to post here, but now that the BO has revealed themself and seems like a serious guy, I think I'm okay with posting again.

8kun?

I missed you, /mai/

>>70076 test

Does the discord still exist?

>>70093 It does, but as this board is now under new ownership, it's no longer linked in any way to here.

>>70094 Hm, can a nigga get an invite anyway?

>>70096 Unfortunately not from me, as far as I know only the mods of the discord have invite powers and most of them still aren't sold on this place.

>>70096 There is the first Discord which still exists but that is not officially linked to here as the board is now under new administration. I can’t give you an invite as, like Rubybro said, only the mods of that server can do that. We still have a new Discord server however. Let me know if you would like to join and I’ll give you an invite.

Oh, and by the way, I am now a mod of this board! After being on /mai/ for more than 4 years, it feels exciting to earn that title. I’ll make sure to lead our community in the right direction.

>>70099 Congrats! You definitely earned it

>>70069 I for one would like to check it out

>>70102 >>70098

>>70103 Try to post and you will see the link to our Discord Server in the ban message. Welcome!

https://9chan.tw/waifu/ Anyone here own this?

>>70116 I don't, but I also really don't care about trying to use 9chan as an alternative when staff there reserved the /mai/ board and probably aren't going to do anything with it. I do own the /mai/ board on 8chan.moe/8chan.se though

>>70117 The very large majority of boards on 8chan (and now a good majority of boards on 8kun) were/are also like this: mere empty shells without a single post. It seems people creating those boards were just too lazy to do anything about them in the first place and were probably just hoping that others would start posting. But unless I’m mistaken, it seems that 9chan doesn’t allow the recycling of abandoned boards like 8kun does. What a pity…

>>70120 It's not really a matter of > It seems people creating those boards were just too lazy to do anything about them in the first place and were probably just hoping that others would start posting. The board is literally reserved by the staff of the site, AFAIK it's not abandoned, but rather, they're just not allowing it to be used. If you try to visit the /mai/ board on 9chan it's a blank page saying that no such board exists, but when you try to create a board with the "mai" name, it says it's reserved by staff.

>>70117 Yeah, no idea why the admins reserved /mai/ specifically for themselves Maybe they're secretly waifuists
