The Net Watch (ネットwatch(ウオッチ)) board, or Watch Board (ヲチ板, Wochi-ita), is a 2channel board that was created on October 30, 1999. The board is mostly focused on internet drama, incidents, and vigilantism, so it's advised to not act on personal grudges and drop the 'h' in links.

Historically, it was preceded by the 'Toshiba Support' (東芝サポート) board on July 5, 1999, which discussed the Toshiba Complainer case that Amezou's servers could not handle. This board closed on August 14, 1999, but a broader 'Net Watch' board would succeed it by October 30, 1999. During the 2001 shutdown scare, the 'Net Watch' board temporarily shut down from August 25, 2001 to October 7, 2001.

Upon returning, the community watched the 1ch.tv trainwreck, which goes into why the board's default name became “Nameless @ GoGoGoGo!” (名無しさん＠ゴーゴーゴーゴー!). Since then, internet drama would remained a hot topic, even becoming a 'flagship board' at one point, but eventually declined after people began moving over to blogging platforms and social networking services.

On March 12, 2004, the 'watch' threads on /mmosaloon/ were told to move to /net/,¹⁾ so internet drama about MMO games were moved to /net/ and eventually took up most of the board. Despite this, there was a still an audience for people who hated blogging platforms, other websites, and boards including the ones on 2channel. By 2011 and 2014, separate 'watch' boards were created for Twitter and Bakusai respectively.

• The board's intended purpose is to 'observe and collect information on internet drama', but it can be argued that other boards (e.g. /news4vip/, /news/, /newsplus/, /ms/) and media outlets serve the same function, so it should be brought up that /net/ is for long-term discussion.
• Some terms of note are 'flaming' (炎上, enjō) and 'internet locusts' (ネットイナゴ, netto inago).
• Chiyu Juuni-sai (ちゆ12歳) and Samurai Damashii (侍魂) are some notable websites that served as a source for information back then, though the former is very much active.
