A notice that the anonymous message board “Edge” will shut down in 10 hours has been circulating, sparking discussion on 5ch’s NanG board (“Nanidemo Jikkyō G,” a sports/live-discussion board). Reactions ranged from jabs at users who defected to Edge during a past board-split controversy, to questions about the board’s management and its ID-display system.
Notice from the Edge administrator on what happens next

Ohh man…
Edge helped me out with a lot of stuff, gonna miss it.

Thanks for everything, admin 😢
It was a good containment board (a place to dump the problem posters) — feels like NanG's about to get messy again.
Thought it was a troll post, but it's real.
Startled me for a second, but well, can't be helped.

Kenmo (another 5ch board) works fine for me
never went to Edge once the whole time.

Wonder what face those guys are gonna make crawling back to NanG.
They kept posting those shady stealth-marketing replies steering people over there, the whole time.
Shutting down right as China cracks down harder on VPNs for overseas access and Edge becomes totally unreachable from the mainland…? Suspicious timing.
They'd occasionally come shill it over here — guess they were desperate.
Isn't this thread just some guy who got banned on Edge starting it out of spite?
Edge people, get out of NanG.
Please don't come crawling back.
Go to Open2ch instead, pretty please.

Hang in there a little longer
please don't unleash the baseball-thread "named" regulars and the affiliate-blog scum
back onto the world.

Can't we divert the refugees somewhere else so they don't end up here?
They're not really coming back here anyway.
It's fine, it's fine.
It's fine, it's fine.
I'm stuck — can't get verified on Edge over a mobile connection.

Isn't this just a troll post…?
I'm holding my head in my hands.

What face are the ones who fled gonna make when they come crawling back? 🤪
To begin with, Edge's thread-creation ID feature didn't change for an entire week — which basically meant everyone's Wachoi (partial-IP ID tag) was exposed the whole time.
That's not an anonymous board.
Of course a place like that was bound to collapse.

They were acting so full of themselves just a little while ago, why did it come to this 😢
What even are Edge and Talk in the first place?
I heard bits about someone called Tarako getting pushed out or something.

If it means NanG gets livelier, that's fine by me.
We're generous, so we welcome them.

It was creepy how the Edge admin just quietly let stuff get reposted to Kinisoku and other affiliate-aggregator blogs.
Wonder how much they were getting paid.

Why don't they just go to whichever NanJ board isn't being used these days.
LMAOOOO wwwwwwwwwwww
When did the split even happen? Can't remember.
Edge people should just go recycle NanJ instead.
