Both New Zealand and Pakistan were out-played in their opening Super Eight games and the loser of this match will almost certainly be heading for the exit. [2]

It took them 16 years and heaps of effort to register their first win- which came against West Indies in Eden Park in Auckland in 1956. [...] The current captain of New Zealand Cricket team is Stephen Fleming. [1]

Their first goal is to fix some sloppy fielding ‘ five catches were dropped against England ‘ and then to find a batsman who can blast a rapid half-century to take them to a score of 170-plus. [2]

Mohammed Yousuf is another batsman,he is a stylish batsman and can make any attack in the world look ordinary. [...] One characteristic aspect of New Zealand team is that it comprises many bits and pieces players; this probably explains the team’s better showing in one-day internationals than the tests. [...] If injuries permit, Shane Bond can be one of New Zealand’s brightest hopes to bring home the cup. [1]

7chan

Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

7chan is a 2ch style art community. [1]

… most users consider these mods to be friendly because of their lack of mental deficiencies (unlike 4chan’s moot), tolerance towards lolicon and their intolerance towards furry sexy time pix. [2]

New to the 2ch community was the existence of an invasion (/i/) board, a section solely designated for site raids and vandalism, with Habbo Hotel, and any furry board/forum as their favorite, recurring targets. [1]

This however, is unlikely due to 7chan’s /fur/ (Furry) board. [3]

Unlike the lame pool of cookie-grade messages in 4chan’s Fortune, 7chan opted for fortunes based on memes and Engrish, often dooming the fortune-ee to a fate of surprise buttsecks or worse. [2]

The image boards on 7chan are reasonably slower on 7chan compared to 4chan, yet a lot of the users prefere the slower pace, as popular threads don’t get bumped off the boards as fast as on the much more active 4chan. [...] As with some 2ch furry image-boards, this board had no DNP or copy-protection rules, with the exception of a rule that forbids the posting of art from furry artist Jeremy Bernal and the website pleasurebonbon.com. [...] Users are now banned from posting furry material with the reason given as ‘furfag’. [1]

According to 7chan, the site is “undergoing staff changes and restructuring”, but everyone knew that the admins were just too busy masterbaiting furiously to pay the server rent. [2]

This situation changed almost a year later, August 23rd, during “4chan’s 2006 /b/ exodus” (or /b/day,) when 4chan moderators started to strictly enforce its previously neglected rules on posting illegal content, private forum/wiki raids (such as the ones on Wikifur), and posting personal information, which caused a reasonable amount of its users to flock to the present board, especially since raids were one of the many things 4chan was infamous for. [1]

As 4Chan frequently experiences downtime for no useful reason, 7Chan has become quite popular, as it’s downtime is limited to the odd day or so, and is only when the site/servers are being upgraded. [3]

Even with this split, both boards’ /b/ communities continue to share related memes, terminology, and image macros. [1]

One of the few imageboards that directly seperates itself from Anonymous and having abandoned their heritage and gone through so much internet struggle, 7chan is now an underpopulated pile of boards. [...] Image:Banned furry 7chan style.png This is just how much the mods luv furries. [...] The deep-seated nature of this rivalry causes minor outbreaks of interchan conflict occasionally, though usually such occurrences are minor, such as a couple of 4channers posting furry on 7chan’s /b/ in order to annoy them.
