I just discovered this while paying a visit to good ol' Tinychan.

It's like Reddit, but without the hypocrisy, or the child porn.

Thank you OP. I'm working on exciting new ways to abuse the site right now.

It's interesting to note that Kimmo scrapes lots of content from the web.

All of the items on this list appear to be article titles from Wikipedia: https://plainboards.com/top-500

All the boards ending in "-news" appear to be scraping content from various RSS feeds. For instance, the body text for https://plainboards.com/!ThePirateBay-news/thread/kxSCivgd/support-richard is the exact same appearing in this RSS feed: https://rss.thepiratebay.se/blog

The robots.txt file blocks /!YahooAnswers-news/. This board doesn't even exist; I suppose Kimmo got DMCAed or similar?

It's looking like that will almost certainly occur at some future point.
