>"/trash/ - Off-topic" is 4chan's imageboard jail for off-topic threads.
But is it really a jail?
Also, why isn't it called /bin/? 5 letters in an imageboard name are ugly.
I would argue that 3-letters is ugly.
I mean, look at how many boards we COULD have with only two letters. And this goes beyond the character-limit.

Out of those random boards you technically mentioned, I picked out the following:l
>/bf/
Girl feels
>/db/
A "database" board, whatever that would be.
>/de/
Deutschland
>/dl/
Revival of /rs/, basically link gatherer.
>/eh/
Particularly Uninteresting Conversations
>/eu/
Europe
>/fb/
Social Media
>/gr/
Guro/Extreme Hentai
>/ib/
Imageboard Discussion (Text board)
>/ko/
Boxing?
>/kr/
Korean Culture
>/oc/

>/qb/
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
>/qr/
Meta/Requests
>/rp/

>[rs]

>/th/
Touhou Project
>/tr/

World Cup [Temp board]
I personally would approve of /db/, /dl/ or /rs/, /gr/, /kr/, /rp/, /sh/, /vn/ and /wc/.

sure it's ugly, but ugliness is /trash/'s whole shtick and they're proud of it. also, it's named in honor of "into the trash it goes," making it the first and only 4chan board to be named after a 4chan meme. just let that sink in.
>>487387
I never liked this meme!
/trash/ should be deleted. It's nothing but furfaggotry.
>>487390
And that's a bad thing how...?
Really, there should be a separate /fur/ board instead.
>>487390
>I can't stand anything abnormal on 4ch.

/news/ here. This just in: /qa/ users set new low for whining faggotry. More at 11,...
>>487436
>/news/
Four letters aren't sweet either...
>>487428
I dunno, if they ever make a quest containment board, /rp/ would be a pretty good name for it
>>487439
>Four letters
This trend started when moot created /lgbt/.
/gay/ would have been the obvious name, but these special snowflakes had to have 4 letters.
>>487516
Nah, /lgbt/ is justified, in my opinion.
>>487516
>special snowflakes
Do you think this is clever? Do you think you look smart? You only look like a bitter retard.
>>487530
>Do you think this is clever? Do you think you look smart?
Insults aren't meant to make the person making them sound smart, they're meant to denigrate the people they're directed at. Not every post out there is intended as a vehicle for the author's self-expression.
>>487527
Why?
/gay/ or /fag/ would have been much better. Or why not /hbt/? No need for a fourth letter.
>>487542
>/hbt/
Perfect.
>>487551
It's the politically correct term here in Sweden. lgbt is just redundant, both lesbians and gays are homosexuals, they only need one letter: h.
>>487516
>>487542
/gay/ or /fag/ excludes trans people.
/hbt/ works but /lgbt/ is more recognizable. I'd be fine with either though.
Also, you still have /news/ to worry about. The obvious shortening would be /new/ but I'm guess Hiro didn't do that because he wanted to distance it from the old /new/. Maybe /nws/?
>>487608
>/nws/
NWS is another word for NSFW. That wouldn't work.
And honestly, I *believe* the reason why it wasn't /new/ instead is because /new/ automatically redirects to /pol/ and hiro may have no idea how to fix that.
Try it out.
>>>/new/
>>487614
kek doesn't work
and I'm pretty sure it was a link redirect, not a >>>/board/ redirect
>>487622
I tried to type https://boards.4chan .org/new/ but it automatically got converted into >>>/new/.
/fart/ when?
>>487386
>/ko/
>/wc/
Its called /spee/
>>487386
>Suggesting a shotacon board.
You madman!
>>488280
Oh, it would be great.
Also, an /up/ board for various file uploads would be great. Futaba has two of those: http://dec.2chan.net/up/up.htm
