NEOMALiES

ever find a website on neocities that clearly has a purpose, but you cannot figure out what it is? this is a page where i will try to find a backstory and context to these websites.

bbynews

URL: https://bbynews.neocities.org

bbynews is a news aggregator for news posts on 5channel, a bulletin board like fourm thats a sequel to 2channel. 5channel is basically the japanese version of 4chan. for more information about 5channel and 2channel, check out the wikipedia article. on bbynews, you can click on a link to go to the 5channel post for it. it takes news posts from the following boards/categories:

• 速 - breaking news
• 芸 - art and culture (entertainment, music, sports)
• 東 - east asian
• ビ - business
• 科 - science
• 萌 - moe/otaku (okaku basically means "nerd")
• 政 - political
• 国 - international news from twitter
• 実 - commentary (the majority of posts are self-posts)
• 痛 - painful/emotional news

note that i am not fluent in japanese, so i had to use translation software and vibes, so these categories may not be 100% accurate
