I'd only been refreshing the 4chan catalogue for the past 5 years or so anyway, like hundreds of times a day looking for a thread worth posting in, so it had been dead for far longer than when it went down.
However, all these other chats seem extra low IQ. Like, how do you not even have a basic dedicated /tv/ board? Most of them don't.
/tv/ is a nerd board
and besides there's no /lit/ /sci/ /g/ /his/ origami hobby diy animal etc boards for these sites either so they're not nearly as nerdy as 4chan was. These sites all have the hallmarks of weed-inhibited brainlet subhuman/zoomer to them, no logical or comprehensive interests represented, and the threads that do exist seem to lack self-awareness.
Anyway I found the site closest to old /tv, tvchan.moe so I guess I'm headed there. I really wanted wizchan to be a thing but they have weird boards and the site is also dead.
