Overview
PPT (批踢踢實業坊) the largest online bulletin board system in Taiwan. Currently, the number of registered users has reached about 1.5 million, with 150,000 people logging in at the same time during peak hours, and there are more than 20,000 signboards (equivalent to 2ch boards), with more than 20,000 threads created and more than 500,000 comments posted every day.
It is said to be the largest in Taiwan and the largest in the world in Chinese language. In Japan, it is sometimes referred to as "Taiwan's 2ch.". In fact, there was a separate anonymous bulletin board called "Taiwan 2ch/T 2ch" with almost the same specifications as 2ch. Although the characteristics of the users and their affinity for subcultures are similar, PTT is more dominant in terms of its influence on the real world, especially through the mass media.
In order to post, you need to register as a member, and the PTT administrator knows your personal information as well as your ISP information. For this reason, anonymity is limited compared to 2ch. In June 2019, the name of the country was displayed along with the IP.
