[b]2channel[/b] (2ちゃんねる, [i]ni channeru[/i]; 2ch for short) - known as [b]5channel[/b] (5ちゃんねる, [i]go channeru[/i]; 5ch for short) since October of 2012. A Japanese internet forum, often thought to be the largest in the world. It has over 600 boards covering a wide range of topics, as their slogan ('[i]From "hacking" to "side dishes for tonight's dinner"[/i]') would suggest. 2ch/5ch plays a large part in Japanese internet culture and has created a culture and language in and of itself. [[ascii_art|ASCII]] and [[shift_jis_art|Shift-JIS]] art is popular there and many [[meme]]/[[neta]] and characters have been created based on it. In addition, several internet celebrities have been born there, as have many collaborative projects and pranks (ie: [[Densha Otoko]], [[Buront]], [[Kasane Teto]] and the [[Vippaloid|Vippaloids]].) It is important to note that 2ch/5ch is [i]not[/i] an image board - it is a text board. Do not confuse with 2chan, also known as the [[Futaba channel]]. h4.
