What is a kiriban?
I've heard it millions of times and I know that it has something to do with pageviews, but otherwise I have no idea about it 
Can someone please tell me what "kiriban" means?

Kiribans are awards that pageview whores give out, hopefully to encourage people to check by regularly in hope they get the award, which in turn, raises their pageviews faster...but I bet the OP found that out already

Woah, talk about bringing a thread back from the dead. 
Well, I had wondered what the actual meaning of it was, found this, read the first comment and did it, when I came back I figured what I had found explained it way better, so I decided to post the info I found in case someone else wants to know. Is that bad?
Well since the thread is nearly a year old I think it would have been better to put it in your journal 
.
It also seems like the OP obtained the answer they wanted soon after starting the thread

.Number one:
It doesn't matter how old the thread is, I was looking for information and when I Googled it, I found this thread, since I assume that others may do the same, I posted it there.
Number two:
If someone else Googled it or went looking for it on here, it would bring up the thread, not my journal genius!
And finally, number three:
It was never meant to actually answer the OP in particular... in case you didn't notice their account is dead.
So, thanks anyways for your input, but it's definitely not needed.
I knew exactly what I was posting... where... and why!

I always kinda wondered where the name came from myself. >w> This thread explained it nicely.
I just figured it's something you draw because you got a certain amount of page views. I'm not an otaku or anything but its a good word for it so I use it.

A kiriban is a small woodland creature indiginous to the United Kingdom and parts of northwestern Europe. It eats broken bycicle tires and used bandages it finds on hiking trails.
Thanks for the laugh 
I imagine that as some kind of fat rodent.

It means that if you speak for extended periods of time in "Wapanese," you will get banned. 
Don't know what Wapanese means either.
Wannabe Japanese... 
Why would I have to know it? Not everyone is an anime fan.
<.< I never said you had to know it. I just told you what it was. I was trying to be informative. 
Sorry, I thought the "¬¬" face meant something else.
Haha! It's okay. I put that in there because I sadly used to be one about 7 years ago...

Thanks to everyone.
But I don't mind what it means in Japanese... I have no interest in learning it. I just wanted to know what it's used for.

When someone gets a screenshot of a certain amount of pageviews they can ask for a favor from you in return. The favors could range from anything from a requested drawing to sexual favors.
Sexual favours? I did not know that! 
That plz account always makes me smile.
And the way some people treat them, they might as well be.
