2ch /livejupiter/
The
It was mostly notable after the /livebase/ migration in 2013, turning into a fast-paced general discussion board, rivaling /news4vip/ and /poverty/. However, /livejupiter/ went down in 2022, users fled to /livegalileo/, and the board hasn't exactly been the same.
History
2004–2008
Back in 2004, /livesaturn/ and /livevenus/ was set up on May 11, /liveuranus/ on October 1, then /livejupiter/ was came on October 21. It did see some activity, but most of these users settled at /liveuranus/. Then on December 29, 2005, some /news4vip/ users fled to /livejupiter/ and the default name was set to “Nameless as the Wind Blows” (風吹けば名無し) as they joked that the wind would decide their new name.
2009–2022
On May 11, 2009, /livebase/ saw heavy board regulations as non-baseball threads cluttered the board, which caused users to flock to /livejupiter/ on May 13, 2009 and remain for the rest of the 2009 NPB season. Despite the season ending and /livebase/ undoing these changes around June 2010, /livejupiter/ would remain occupied and became a general discussion board in the offseason.
The board would continue to keep this momentum, despite the website coming under new management, the sitewide reprinting ban causing the default name to be changed on March 3, 2014 but was reverted, and 2channel rebranding to 5channel. It eventually reached a point where /livejupiter/ had dethroned /news4vip/ as the most popular board by 2015 and it seemed like it would stay this way for many years to come.
2022–
Then on March 21, 2022, a hardware failure made /livejupiter/ inaccessible, so users fled to /livegalileo/, but never returned after /livejupiter/ went back up on March 23, 2022 because the board was just plagued with awful threads and the 2022 NPB season was about to start, which resulted in /livejupiter/ being reduced to Matome Site conflicts and VTuber commentary.
During the 2023 WBC, a server failure killed /livegalileo/ from March 13, 2023 to March 23, 2023 and did bring some users back, but most people returned to /livegalileo/ or started looking into alternate websites. Eventually, the depopulation was clear and during the 2024 Summer Koshien, it wasn't even in the Top 10 as /livejupiter/ fell all the way down to the 27th most populated board on 2channel.
