Thanks--it's been a while. IIRC, Futaba and 2ch are run by the same people, and moot copied both, though only the imageboard took off. Is that correct?

  No one knows who runs Futaba. 2ch was owned by hiroyuki until he sold it a few years ago to some Singaporean company that no one knows about (probably because of all of the lawsuits that he faced and lost). 4chan does have text boards (like 2channel). dis.4chan.org runs on shiichan and is supposed to greatly resemble 2channel style, but it came later and as you say it is not that popular. There is also the tinychan imported text boards that are fairly recent and somewhat different.
