It is impossible to browse 5 channels with a dedicated browser, some such as JaneStyle start responding to 'Talk'



The gigantic bulletin board site ``

5channel '' (formerly 2channel) is in a situation where it is impossible to browse across the board with a third-party dedicated browser. Jane Style, which was one of the major dedicated browsers, has already stopped supporting 5ch.net and has transformed itself into a dedicated browser for a new bulletin board called ' Talk ' (talk.jp).

Jane Style official website has already called itself 'Talk dedicated browser' as follows.

Looking at the update history, Ver5.00 released on July 10, 2023 supports Talk and ends support for 5ch.net.



'

Twinkle ' for iOS has a similar response, and when you start it, you will be asked to update, and after updating, you will need to agree to the terms of use of Talk to continue using it.



At the time of writing the article, we have not been able to confirm that other major dedicated browsers will follow this trend.

In the case of the 2ch compatible bulletin board browser app '

ChMate ' for Android, the list of thread titles can be read, but the thread contents cannot be obtained and an error message '401 Unauthorized' 'ng (not authorized)' is displayed.



The 5ch API server required to browse 5ch with a third-party application is provided by Jane Co., Ltd., the developer of Jane Style. Apparently, since the provision of this API server has ended, it seems that it is no longer possible to browse 5ch from a third-party dedicated browser that used the API.

On the other hand, the new bulletin board 'Talk' (talk.jp) that Jane Style etc. corresponded is an ' online anonymous bulletin board service ' operated by Talk Technologies Inc.

It looks like this. The main categories are 'news', 'chat', 'play', 'entertainment', 'manga/anime', 'games', 'sports', 'hobbies' and 'investment'.



Looking at the 'board list' looks like this. The same board names as 5ch, such as 'anything live G', 'anything live J', 'new speed VIP', and 'new speed (disgusting)' line up. However, it is not exactly the same, and there are boards that are on 5ch but not on Talk.

When I went to see threads about topics such as games, I found that the title of the 5ch thread and the content of 1 were the same. However, since there is no writing after 2 made in the current thread of 5ch, there is no continuity of thread contents.

It can be confirmed that the name of 'Talk' was filed by Talk Technologies Inc. on June 15, 2023.



In addition, 5-channel was once known as '2-channel' and was opened by Mr. Hiroyuki (Hiroyuki Nishimura) and was a manager.

In 2009, Mr. Nishimura transferred the ownership of 2channel to PACKET MONSTER INC. in Singapore. . However, Mr. Nishimura claimed that the rights belonged to himself and PACKET MONSTER INC. , and started a new 2channel (2ch.sc) that copied the contents of 2channel. In 2015, we acquired the trademark rights of '2ch' and '2ch'.

Mr. Watkins applied for invalidation of the trademark registration, but it was rejected, and the name was changed to '5 Channel'. It has also transferred ownership to Loki Technology, Inc. This movement is a problem that is occurring only in a dedicated browser, and it is possible to browse and write on 5 channel with a web browser.

postscript:
ChMate developer Airfront has clarified that it is working on correspondence.

In addition, volunteers have devised a method of reading and writing to 5ch.net by using the external board browsing function of each dedicated browser.

As an example, in the case of ChMate, copy and paste the following contents to 'URL used for search (for addition)' in 'Experimental' item in 'Settings'.

Write (to 5ch) http://{$subdomain}.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/{$bbs}/{$key}/{$host[match:\.5Ch\.net$]}

Read thread (to 5Ch) http://{$subdomain}.5Ch.net/test/read.cgi/{$bbs}/{$key}/{$host[match:\.5ch\.net$]}



Although an error will occur when reading a thread, you can read it by tapping 'Load thread (to 5Che)' in the menu that appears by tapping the setting icon in the lower right.

Also, for writing, after reading the above, tap the setting icon as well and tap 'Write (to 5ch)'. An error is displayed, but you can write by tapping the pen icon as it is. If you want to check if you were able to write, tap 'Return' once and update the thread and it will be OK.
