/banner/ - Banners

Okay, so we need some new banners since there's all sorts of old shit in our banner rotation. However, we don't want shitty banners, and we don't want a clusterfuck, so here are the rules.

  1. Banners must be 300px wide, 100px high. File size must be under 1000KB.
  2. Do not post off-topic shit here. We're pretty lenient about that on other boards, but not here.
  3. Your banner must reference an existing 7chan board, or 7chan in general.
  4. Drama will result in bans, as will breaking of any of the global rules.
  5. Banners will be selected for addition to our rotation pool based on the quality of the banner. This means that we won't be selecting too many MS Paint banners.

Resources (templates, people to bother for help) are in /gfx/. Tutorials are on Google (and here). Fucking use them.

Banner in Japanese meaning Bruce Banner 20/04/19(Sun)15:34 No. 1466 ID: 0fb12f

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows what's the meaning of the banner attached. With my (very limited) knowledge of kana and a lot of Google translate I can tell it translates as:
"What is Nana (7) Tsuba (katana guard)?"

Also, why is The Fury in there?
Thanks

OP here, posting in case anyone was interested. Feeling quite dumb, about the writing. I was sure that 7 in Japanese was Nana (なな), but it turns out it can also be Nanatsu (ななつ) and the Ba (ば) in there probably stands for the "葉" kanji, which means leaf. So, I guess it can be translated as "What is Seven Leaves?" which leads to 7chan. Still, no idea about The Fury, though

History lesson time, newfriend.

なな means "7"

つば means "leaves", specifically as in leaves of a clover (not a tree, which would be はぱ)

You may be thinking, "This sounds like a Japanese lesson; didn't he say it was a history lesson?"

It's a history lesson.

Long, long ago, before the concept of an imageboard, there was 2ch, or にちゃねる. It would take all day to explain to you what it really is, suffice to say an imageboard without images.

The idea of adding pictures to posts came later, from a spinoff of 2ch known as ふたば, meaning "two leaf" (at this point, merely a contraction of ふたつ "two (things)" and はぱ "leaf" as in any kind of leaf)--aka 2chan.

The site you may regard as the foundational imageboard, 4chan, is in fact a third-generation knockoff of 2ch. 4chan's contribution to this particular meme was to adopt the character よつば as a mascot; thus where 2chan offered two leaves, failchain became a clover (in fact, a green-haired girl with four clover leaf shaped pigtails).

Though seven chan was founded later, the meme carried over. Instead of a four-leaf clover, we now have seven leaves. You may have noticed 7chan's pyramid-shaped 7 leaf favicon in your browser's tab bar, which is probably the earliest ななつば design. I've attached to this post another, circular version. At some point, this was imposed upon the modern 7 pointed throwing star logo you are probably most familiar with.

The Fury is here to kill it with fire, by the way. "It" being furries and their porn, which were at one time entirely unwelcome on 7chan. They have since been given a containment board and a lengthy armistice has been held by both sides.

I recovered more original 7chan regalia.

A "hammer and sickle" approach; hail the motherchan!
