A few years ago, I first visited in late 2012 or so from a link from some archive website which I found browsing another imageboard, the name of which I forget. I don't think I could find that page again if I tried. I started coming here frequently around spring last year.

Sometime in early October I think, I forget what year.

I think it was 2011 when I first got here.

Funny enough, I saw a post with a link to this place on 4-ch's Internet Addicts Anonymous board. Holy schnikies, I can still see the topic and I actually found the post that got me here.

just late last year, it surely was an eye opener, even if it was painful, I now know and accept some facts I just could had never realized by my own, thanks Tee-Cee chan...

2014 I guess, so I'd have been 18 or 19. I used it a lot more in 2015, I'm 20 now.

I visited it for the first time 4 years ago I think, probably because it was mentioned on 4chan or 7chan. I think people were talking about a "/mai/" board, so I looked for it. I figured it was about waifus, so I eventually found tohno-chan. I'm clearly not the primary target of this website and /an/ is too slow for my taste, but it's in my view one of the best imageboard around. So I keep coming from time to time to check if it's still alive and see how it's going.

Oh look, turns out tohno is now the first result on google for "mai waifu imageboard". It wasn't as easy to find back in my days (and it's not due to profiled results).

I saw my mom browsing here one time, I was curious. I wonder if she still does. Hi mom!

What the fuck?

>>5851
A single mother looking for a NEET with no income to pay her child support, or something like that.

Probably around 2014 or maybe even 2013, although more likely 2014 as my /so/ thread from then is still up

And I found out through /jp/ ad

'09

The /a/ ghost board was still pretty meta and chill and I think I saw Hox or 60% or someone talking about it there.

Late 2010 or so.

My friend (we always looked for obscure imageboards and BBS) sent me a board he discovered from some overchan he thought I would like. It was /mai/.

About three years ago.

I met the original Tohno on an online game we both played and we became good friends over time. We had a lot in common and He introduced me to TC personally. It was almost creepy how we had the same waifu. The guy eventually trusted me enough to have me be a mod on this site. Then just before he committed suicide he apparently sent me a message with all the passes and info necessary to take over TC in his place and I've been trying to do my best to keep his legacy going since then.

gettin kinda defensive…touch a nerve?
hey, isn't that the exact same wall color in both pics?
yes, i'm pretty sure that it is. wow, what an unusual coincidence.

I started coming here this year. I liked the idea of message boards, but could never really get into 4chan. So I found out about this site, and got into it.

Early 2010, heard there was a waifu board.

I found tohno-chan is 2012 but I didn't visit it at all.
~2 years I joined the IRC for some reason.
Didn't start posting until now. For some reason.

Can't remember how I initially did find tohno-chan, maybe some one talking about /mai/ on 4chan.

I've been here since 2011. I can't remember how I found it, but I think it might've been from a textboard somewhere.

Huh. According to my logs, I've been coming here for 5.5 years, since June 2011.

I just got involved because much of my digital friendcircle at the time are/were also Tohno-channers.

Hello, I got here from a list of image boards explored and collected by a certain user. This place is nice and caters to all of my interests. Thank you for running this place!

So, I guess, +1 user. *kaching~

I used to lurk on the ghost boards on /a/ whenever 4chan went down. I started coming to /tc/ semi-regularly after seeing it posted there, and then more regularly once I realized that 4chan was a sinking ship.

I remember a lot of the tripcode users from then. I had one myself but behaved like a bit of a nuisance and wasn't accepted into the circlejerk - which is fine, I was very young (it was close to 10 years ago; 2009/2010, I was a Freshman) and we're all stupid as kids.

I'm glad it's still around. I like the community a lot, even though we butt heads on certain issues.

About a year ago, I searched up the term "waifu" on google, went to page 2 and found this hidden gem of a site.

Since we discovered it the same way around the same time, I'm curious who you are. What tripfriend were you?
