Anime Image Boards are a great source for anime images, and they frequently contain rarities and vip quality work at times. I have continously searched and come across countless anime image boards, too many to remember, so I decided to create a listing of them.

<p>Anime Image Boards are a great source for anime images, and they frequently contain rarities and vip quality work at times. I have continously searched and come across countless anime image boards, too many to remember, so I decided to create a listing of them.</p>
<p><span id="more-137"></span></p>
<h6 style="margin-bottom:100px;">-</h6>
<p><a href="http://e-shuushuu.net/" target="_blank">E-shuushuu</a><br />
<a href="http://e-shuushuu.net"><img class="alignnone" style="border:1px solid #000; margin:0 auto;" src="http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/9667/shuushuumn7.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>A kawaii-themed image board.  The site itself is worksafe and has a friendly community. I have been an active member in the mast and made several image contributions. I still frequent e-shuushuu, and even participate on some community activities.<br />
//&#8211;</p>
<p><a href="http://pixiv.net/" target="_blank">Pixiv</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.pixiv.net/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/6932/pixivbi5.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Pixiv,which is more of an art commuity than an Imageboard. Images are limited hosted range from personal artwork to fan-made sketches or illustrations. Several profound fan-artists post their work here, so you might want to keep tabs on it. The site is Japanese though, and requires registration.<br />
//&#8211;</p>
<p><a href="http://moe.imouto.org/" target="_blank">Moe.imouto</a></p>
<p><a href="http://moe.imouto.org/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/6139/moeiomoutofu3.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Image board for high-resolution anime scans. Contains NSFW. &#8217;nuff said.<br />
//&#8211;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.4chan.org/" target="_blank">4chan</a></p>
<p><a href="http://4chan.org"><img class="alignnone" src="http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/5672/4chanhn9.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Straightforward, 4chan is a simple image-based bulletin board where anyone can post comments and share images. Probably the largest and most popular English image board on the web. Offers lots of categories.<br />
//&#8211;<br />
<a href="http://konachan.com/" target="_blank">Konachan</a></p>
<p><a href="http://konachan.com/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/2327/konachanen1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Similar to moe.imouto, but instead of high resolution scans, Konachan hosts anime wallpapers of all sizes.</p>
<p>//&#8211;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.akibakko.net/" target="_blank">Akibakko</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.akibakko.net/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/9789/akibakkorw0.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Another Danbooru type imageboard, I feel this board deserves a spot because of the good variety of images they have to offer&#8230; I&#8217;ve have acquired some really nice images/fanart from here.</p>
<p>//&#8211;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-113" title="gravatar" src="http://blog.solwyvern.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/gravatar.jpg" alt="gravatar" width="200" height="200" /> Though it&#8217;s not something new, there are still alot of people out there who don&#8217;t know about Gravatars. So I&#8217;ve decided to write a quick post about it and what it is.</p>
<p>Gravatars are all around avatars, it stands for Globally Recognized Avatars. You may notice, on some blogs and websites, comments by guests or users are often accompanied by personalized avatars. And when you write your own comment, you receive a generic avatar. Now, you may be wondering,.. how do I get a personalized one?</p>
<p><span id="more-112"></span><br />
<br />&nbsp;<br />
The answer? Sign up with <a href="http://en.gravatar.com/" target="_blank">Gravatar</a>. This will allow you to upload and host your avatar which will now be visible across any website or blog that supports Gravatars. All you need to do is include your associated gravatar e-mail address on the commentary section. Go ahead and try it out, set up an account and leave a comment here after you&#8217;ve finished.</p>
<p>Additionally, Wordpress already has support for Gravatars(as of version 2.5), but if you want to implement gravatars on your non-wordpress blog, several plugins are readily available. You can check out the <a href="http://en.gravatar.com/site/implement" target="_blank">Gravatar implementor&#8217;s guide</a> for more info.^^</p>
<p>You can also see the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravatar" target="_blank">Wikipedia article</a> for more information.</p>
