+====== /azu/ - Azumanga ======
+[{{ https://files.catbox.moe/vdmyon.png|An accurate way to view /azu/}}]
+/azu/ was an imageboard dedicated to //Azumanga Daioh//, that being a manga and anime series((:fn:>//Azumanga Daioh// was pretty popular on SomethingAwful and [[lb:4chan]] back in the day. It remains popular with so-called 'oldfags'.)). However, the site also allowed content related to //Yotsubato//.\\
+The board had been around for a long time, and it's mentioned semi-frequently among chanverse enthusiasts.\\
+Sometime in March of 2023 ((:fn:>It was still online around the 13th of March, which was when I last checked; it is the 24th as of writing this, and the site is no longer accessible.)) the board went offline. Sometime around August 2023, /azu/ returned.((:ref:>[[https://4-ch.net/iaa/kareha.pl/1439333638/287|I'm an imageboard and online communities otaku – >>287]]))
+===== Board impressions =====
+[{{https://files.catbox.moe/6uce6e.png?200 |/AZU/ in the flesh}}]
+/azu/'s community appeared to be pretty nice, which gave the board an overall relaxing feel.\\
+It was a very slow board, being slower than [[lb:Channel4]], which isn't all that surprising considering its niche topic. In addition to this, the top thread was about the /azu/ discord server, which isn't a very chan thing to do.
+===== Idlechan connection =====
+/azu/ wasn't originally part of the iichan/Wakachan coalitions, but was part of the short revival 'Idlechan', which wasn't actually a coalition.\\
+Despite this, I was told that /azu/ was apparently hosted on Wakachan. I haven't pursued the subject further, so I don't really know what this means, nor have I confirmed it.
+===== Trivilinks =====

+  * I found it while looking through [[https://4-ch.net/iaa/kareha.pl/1439333638/l50|this thread]]
+  * I had missed /azu/'s revival and wasn't aware of it until March 2024, which I became somewhat embarrassed about((:fn:>Being the only one among the personal wikis I'm aware of who had an article on /azu/, this was a pretty big blunder.)). Honestly, I had just assumed it died and wouldn't return.
+    * Previously, there was a note about how I wasn't particularly sad about /azu/'s death compared to [[lb:Kazamatsuri]]. This is because I don't know anything about Azumanga. However, that note is now pointless.
