TheBArchive
https://thebarchive.com
Another 4Chan-like website, The B Archive, has appeared. As a matter of fact, The /b/ Archive is the archive of 4Chan, and all the content here (or 4chan trash lol) originated from that website. Now, if you know 4Chan, you know that it is a popular platform for kinky freaks, weirdos, creeps, and internet geeks to share all kinds of random shit, including, you guessed it, fucking porn. That is the kind of content you will find on this site. You can find all kinds of sex pics including hentai/anime posted by strangers. This platform is not dedicated solely to pornography, there is some SFW-like content, but since I am a porn dude, I want to focus on pornography. But since I am a porn guy, I will focus on porn.
First Impressions
Honestly, there is nothing you see when you first visit the site that gives you a clue as to what to expect. The site doesn't seem to have much going on, aside from a few links on the main page and an ad that apparently displays the top porn games 2018. You have to click on the links available to access the archives of the site. That's not the worst I've seen, but first impressions are that this site falls a bit short. But they must also have something good otherwise, as you will find out if you stick around for the full review, they would not have appeared on Porn Dude.
Site design and navigation
The b/archive site has a simple design, perhaps too simple considering that there are no pictures or anything else to attract your attention. It can only be described as mundane, and no effort is made to make it look attractive. The top page is almost completely blank, and a first-time visitor to this site will be confused. If I had to rate the design/layout, I would give it a 3/10, which is still generous.
The top page has only a few links to /b/ random, /bant/ international/random, talk/discussion boards, and FAQs. There is also a link to The Porn Dude, where you can find nearly 1000 adult destinations. But that doesn't guarantee smooth navigation. In fact, it is anything but that. The site is awash with ads, and almost every link leads to an ad, making it difficult to access different parts of the site. Needless to say, this will not improve your experience in any way. There is, however, a search option in the upper right corner that allows you to search for articles by name or number.
Site Content
There is no content from the home page, and you have to click on a link to find out what to expect. Fortunately, I'm here to prepare you for what lies ahead: click on either /b/Random or /bant/International/Random and you'll find all sorts of content by random freaks, including weird, hilarious, and fucked-up photos I know you're here for the NSFW content, so let's jump right in.
WhichevI was expecting an adult platform for horny people to drop all sorts of discussions, but this is actually a platform for general discussion and a place for users to report bugs and problems with the site's functionality. To be fair, it's not a bad option to have and the site admins are quick to respond to user complaint requests. I wonder why other freaks don't report navigation issues.
Donate.
This is not a twisted joke. This site actually needs your donation. There is even a "donate" link from the home page. Scroll down to the bottom of the discussion page for instructions on how to donate. The site accepts donations in bitcoins, so you need to get your wallet ready and buy bitcoins with actual cash. You can Google this process. What do you get for your donation? I know this doesn't sound like much, but you will get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside to keep the 4Chan archives going. Making a donation will also free you from annoying ads. The site promises that this is not a ransom or anything of the sort, but a way for everyone in this community to keep this archive online and not disappear like so many other things. Are you feeling sufficiently philanthropic? Be my guest.
What I like about TheBarChive.
As I always say, some free sites are appealing regardless of what is offered. b/archive is one such site where you will never be asked for money to enjoy the content. There is also a wealth of erotic content posted by users from all over the world and opportunities to interact. Unfortunately, the good parts end here.
What I don't like about this site
My issues with the site begin with the design, which looks like it was designed in the Stone Age. I understand that the site tries to be minimalist, but this is simply lazy. The ads are also an absolute menace and will do everything possible to ruin your experience. Most of the places you click on are ad pages, and you will have a hard time navigating through the site. At the bottom of the home page there is an option to change the language and theme, but could not be used (again) due to the threat of ads. Also, the content is only pictures and not a single pornographic video. Frankly, one could be forgiven for wondering why one would bother to donate.
My suggestions for this site
Could you at least try to design the site? I think that would be a good idea. And while you're at it, please fix the navigation. As it is now, it's a fucking pain in the ass.
Conclusion
Overall, there is enough free-fucking material in the /b/ archive to keep you interested. Whether you are an amateur or a professional, this 4Chan archive has it. The site is free to use, though you'll need to make a donation to get rid of the ads. It is far from a comp, but it is a decent enough porn forum.
