/qa/ - Question & Answer† (pronounced "kway" or "kwah" (ˈkweɪ in International Phonetic Alphabet), sometimes referred ditto to the pronounciation) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and former unlisted 4chan board for discussing site-wide meta. It was originally founded in January of 2015 as a platform for Moot to host a question and answer thread before he would quit as the site owner.
Over time, the board was colonised by multiple warring factions of shitposters, including: soyteens, frogposters, and leebaiters; fans of Touhou from /bant/, fans of K-Pop; enjoyers of political webcomics; schizos who lost their way from /x/; some actual trannies; some /pol/ and /leftypol/ propagandists, BBC/BWC spammers, and a couple one-off avatarfags such as the poster who hated The Doors, the Boymoder poster, the French Megumin poster, the poster who posted a cow along with the word nigger, the poster who hated the word though, the poster who wasn't a killer but don't push him, the Rikka avatarfag, the poster who posted dinosaurs in every thread, the one guy who hated Jefre Cantu-Ledesma among countless, countless others, who all mostly partook a little bit in each other's culture.
The boards’s sticky image, a picture of penguins in Boulders Bay, South Africa, originates from Hiroyouki himself who likely took the picture around 2017.
The board was permanently locked on November 3, 2021 during the Great Soyset.
THE BOARD WAS (briefly) REOPENED ON APRIL 14TH, 2025, /QA/ FUCKING WON
