4chan doesn't dissallow tripcodes anywhere. edit: they apparently do that in /soc/. Oh well.

I wouldn't say that the discussion there is that terrible (of course if you don't go to /b/, the "everything goes" board). Yes, for example for technology, /g/ board is unreadable, full of mindless hatred and the same type of discussions over and over (absolutely incomparable with Hacker News). The same for /v/. /int/ is just a shoutbox for racism and stereotypes. Really, the more popular boards are terrible. Poole sometimes seems to like it, trumping it as "raw uncensored opinion", but it's mostly just dumb.

However, I also visit /co/ board for cartoons and comics, and it is one of the best places to talk about these.

Actually they do disallow tripcodes on /soc/, which is hilarious.

Doubly funny though, is how people there still use the name field, and rarely troll with it. The honor system largely works.

Oh. I didn't know that. I don't visit /soc/ at all.

... I've said too much.
