Whenever I saw /animus/ while scrolling through 8chan's board list, my mind immediately recalled ânimo -the spirit of action- and the kinetic, dynamic meaning of that word's root. That's certainly more exotic than just the plural of "animu". Though a banner has another take on the board's name. The board's subtitle is "Avatarfag circlejerk", and that sums it up well. Every single poster is a namefag, tripfag, avatarfag or a combination thereof, and all of them are weebs. Flags are on, and most of them are predictably from the Anglosphere, though a Jap and an Israeli (possibly using VPNs are also present). They interact in a similar manner to the userbase of /ausneets/: huge threads for general discussion, most of which is about weeb stuff and video games, but it can wander off into conversations about all sorts of things; there's this guy talking about cars and political discussions happen sometimes. This conversation is fast, producing a PPH of 60. Only the top five boards have more activity! The community seems tight-knit. Insults are sometimes traded, but not in an angry spirit. The "dialect" is standard imageboard English rather than the strange Aussie lingo in the previous board. Thread structure is looser: there's no standard format for thread openings, creating a more diverse catalog. Two threads sometimes overlap with each other for several hours. Some duplicate threads are maintained and used. The lifespan of a thread in terms of total replies varies wildly. Moderation seems lax. Overall it's still mostly light chatter and thus meaningless if you're not part of that small circle.
