I hope this is not the end of 4chan. It's the only active forum for discussion of mecha. I liked long indepth discussions about the rice economics of Gasaraki. The discussions there were usually civil and well thought out, and no one was getting policed for wrongthink. Actually, a common complaint was that there seemed to be no moderation since for a few months there was someone spamming "CCA is overrated" or "CCA is underrated" threads, I forgot. If /m/ becomes inaccessible then I have nowhere else to go (mechatalk is low activity and under the boot of tyranny, Spacebattles is active but bans people for wronthink, MAL only talks about current seasonals and not mecha in general let alone years old shows, I hardly ever use reddit). I also enjoyed following the generals for some Japanese games to check on the status of 4chan's fan translation patches.
