/tech/

March 2015

/tech/ is 8chan's top technology discussion board. The board abbreviation /tech/ stands for, interestingly enough, the English word technology.

The board consists of the tech-related news, centralized GNU/Linux distribution discussions, free software advocacy, anonymity, and general reddit flaming. Meta discussions are taken to /metatech/.

History

/tech/ - Technology took off around September 2014. The board initially populated by few users has grown to be amongst the most active 8chan boards. Originally in it's first 1-3 months /tech/ was populated by /v/irgins who were interested in tech, and the board was more proprietary friendly (and really just somewhat friendly in general), but over time a lot of /tech/'s old community migrated there after hearing of the exodus. While they brought with them their great tech knowledge, while /tech/ was really great for a while during this period, as time progresses the board is becoming more and more like classic /g/ with all the circlejerking, tech hipsters, and epeen matches. While this elitistry can bring knowledge, it can also be a gigantic pain and contaminate this knowledge into inaccuracy, so for all newcomers: Please check your facts, and not your ego.

/tech/ - Technology

/tech/ features two board stickies for Consumer Advice and Tech Support, purposed in filtering otherwise would be useless threads.
