2channel is the world's largest forum and Japan's 22nd largest website; it receives several million posts per day. It's notable for bringing anonymous posting to mainstream Internet. Inspiration for 2channel likely came from older Japanese textboards that provided anonymous posting abilities, such as Ayashii World and Amezou World.
