Yes, indeed.<br \/>\nAnd frenchies like micro-communities, small as the circle of a few friends compared to US ones, and they dislike what they could call their \u00ab\u00a0opposite\u00a0\u00bb, a exactly same community, but which emerged another time, in another web place, it&rsquo;s just not \u00ab\u00a0the true one\u00a0\u00bb (of course, our community is always the true one, word) .<\/p>\n<p>Blogging platforms in France are as numerous as the ants in my garden, and are the perfect image of what I just explained, peoples from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skyblog.com\/\">skyblog<\/a> just ignore or reject people from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.20six.fr\">20six<\/a>, who doesn&rsquo;t even realize that such thing as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canalblog.com\">canalblog<\/a> could exists where bloggers ignore <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oldiblog.com\/\">oldiblogs<\/a>, a bunch of very young teenagers who couldn&rsquo;t imagine a website with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elixie.org\">custom URI<\/a> would be a blog &#8230; A lot of ignorance-concentring and crossing circles, holy shit, if that was only for blogs &#8230; but music, movies, alt\/culture, underground forums and pseudo-memes boards, they just fucking ignore themselves, or just shoot at one single and only target in a so boring repetitive way that their readers never stay more than one month in the meme movance.<\/p>\n<p>Great memes started in a way or another from two sources : 2chan and seids, or #quake irc channels.<br \/>\nYep, japaneses or old fashionned hardcore gamers, that&rsquo;s where it all begins.<br \/>\nFirst, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2chan.net\/\">2chan<\/a>, the biggest forum of the Internet, almots every japanese has at least browsed it once, and it affects real world widely and everyday, 2chan IS Japan, that&rsquo;s the deal.<br \/>\nFrom 2chan emerged a pledge of boards, mainly japanese, but the very US attempt (.jp are banned from it) is 4chan, still online after several closings.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.4chan.org\/\">4chan<\/a> actually generates a lot of good memes, like O RLY owl or NO U, anyway, it&rsquo;s full of wanabee-comic pedo graphics, which waste the not-so-safe browsing, I mean, I&rsquo;m on a french gov&rsquo;s computer, and with Outreau and cases like this, pedo is NOT FUNNY, even very underground, there&rsquo;s no way child porn is funny, or even entertaining, that just wastes 4chan quality.<br \/>\nAnyway, 4chan would not be quite as good (for everything else child porn) if it wasn&rsquo;t based on the hardcore gamer culture.<br \/>\nWhen talking about hardcore gamer, I don&rsquo;t mean no fucking CS player, they are just as good as child porn, NOT FUNNY, and teens. Teenagers shouldn&rsquo;t access the Internet, they just should fucking study to be sell-person in the furniture business.<br \/>\nHardcore gamers are frome the Quake source, ultimately QuakeWorld, they were the first to gather around a really effective online game with servers, clans and communities, and IRC drop-a-link channels.<br \/>\nSuch gamers are today everywhere behind websites as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.somethingawful.com\/\">Something Awful<\/a>, or 4chan (note that 4chan is an offshoot of SA), and they gather a lot of audience.<\/p>\n<p>In France, humor websites are mainly links dump like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.langocha.com\/\">langocha<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.taulard.net\/\">taulard.net<\/a>, I can&rsquo;t really find a \u00ab\u00a0gather everyone\u00a0\u00bb link.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/sodacid.com\/oxymore\/\">Oxymore<\/a> once started an image-board ala 4chan, soon dead because of the lack of audience and maybe the inconvenience of the publishing tool. Oxymore is also a small range community, limited only to the blog audience <strike>and camstory visitors<\/strike>, generating some good memes but always stucked in their own webring due to several closings and re-open, and mainly personal attacks on french blogging figures, I mean, good memes and Internet jokes have to stay anonymous, the warry fat kid has no name, and that&rsquo;s why laughing of him and alter his image is so easy, you just can&rsquo;t make fun of a real person and hope to gather a large audience, mainly in France, it&rsquo;s just not fucking legal, that&rsquo;s it, and a normal person can&rsquo;t be as fun as an ugly drooling anonymous,  it just lacks of evident funny features for the common visitors to gather around and generate the meme.<\/p>\n<p>So, what do we have to do ? I mean, we french tried <a href=\"http:\/\/geradon.be\/2buckwhore\/\">2buckwhore<\/a>, but it&rsquo;s an outrageous copy of Cliff Yablonski&rsquo;s, and authors are lacking of motivation, we can&rsquo;t count on vast communities like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hardware.fr\/\">hardware fr<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nofrag.com\/\">nofrag<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamekult.com\/\">gamekult<\/a>, where lie HC gamers upon newbies gamers, there are just auto-satisfying, and only pasting three days to a week old links, not really creating good own myths and memes, and finally just forget BBS or bloggers, their are just rotten to the core by young and sms-writing lads, only waiting for blondes fake boobs (or goth ones).<\/p>\n<p>Maybe french Internet is lost, I can&rsquo;t find any saviour or fine underground culture, we are in hell, french Internet hell.<\/p>\n<p>(this post was in english just because it sounds cool to add \u00ab\u00a0fucking\u00a0\u00bb to no interest sentences)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is a difficult task.
