NEET and the present of hikki

'"/n/ is everything you've ever dreamed of!" -' First post on /n/, circa 10/08/18.
 * Wikia does not allow the use of "/n/" & "/hikki/" in the title.

/n/ started off as NEET - /n/ and focused on japanese culture, anime, etc, basically being a /jp/ equivalent. Succeeding /a/ with a bit of NEET undertones, early /n/ was relatively kept to Japanese interests. Years down the line, the staff saw the potential for discussion pertaining to NEETdom and repurposed /n/ to become an advice-centric board focused on reclusive life styles and emotional issues, while the old /n/ was renamed to /2/ and dropped NEET/self-advice discussion completely. /n/ was a funposting hub for many, but also a hub to many exquisite people and threads, among those being; weeaboos, shitposters, NEETs, socially maladjusted people, hikikomori's, wizards, virgins, people with tulpa's, why do i have to be called a fag? ;_; is it because I'm new?, tripfags, and of course, the perpetually angry moderator who kills himself over the cancer that is /n/.

/hikki/
/n/ was primarily a place to have fun save for the Serious Business™ threads and tripfag drama. However, the Uboachan staff didn't take kindly to this as they genuinely wanted /n/ to be a place for self reflection and improvement, not a shitposting pit filled with "lole how do i becum neetz???1" threads and wizchan circlejerking. After a bit of in-fighting, in 2016, /n/ was locked and replaced with /hikki/, which has a far more serious tone and stricter regulation. The replacement board is meant to be more focused and pragmatic, which meant no glorifying NEETdom, no asking for suicide methods, no shitposting, no threads about various topics (such as tulpa's and drugs) and much more tightly enforced global rules within itself. Reception among anons was very mixed as it was an out of the blue change to them. People were largely skeptical about what kind of implications new regulations had for neo-/n/, mostly pertaining to the relaxed nature of /n/ suddenly contrasted with a very constrained one.

/n/ and /hikki/ have been subject to wizchan raids in the past, so there has been some drama and frogs that have spilled over. Today, /hikki/ is for the part the lifeblood of Uboachan along with /ot/ and /fg/.

What happened to /2/?
As of late 2016, nu-/n/ (/2/) has been locked and annexed due to inactivity and wanting to maintain traffic consolidation.
