>Notes:
A russian image board. Notable for creating a visual novel, similar to the manner in which 4chan's katawa shoujo was created. The board runs on it's own, developed system of software, using the Wakaba software for image posting and Kareha for text only posting. The site is particularly notable for hosting it's boards on separate domains, so that users can contribute by hosting a single board rather than the whole site. This function works well in that if the main site goes down, boards can still be accessed. However, if boards do go down, admins would be less likely to notice. The site also has boards on it's own domain.
>History:
The board was formed as a refuge for 4channers during one of it's many downtimes in 2004. It began to gain it's own userbase however. On October 24th 2004, it closed due to growing prices. It revived in February 2005 as Wakachan, which lasted for 6 months before becoming iichan again. This is when it took on it's customary form of hosting boards on other domains. At this time, it had a relatively large userbase. However, the admins took the site down for about 8 months and since then, it has never recovered it's speeds, maintaining a slow pace instead.

>>205The original was wizardchan.org. I think Glaive was the first admin and sold it to copypaste, who lost his virginity and gave up the page, then a guy by name of Anachronos (or something similar) eventually assumed it and later disappeared together with the original domain.

http://uboachan.net/During July 2012, Zenmaigahara, the creator of the Yume Nikki fangame "Yume Nisshi", fell out with the Western fanbase and Uboachan because of their use of alleged stolen content (
http://uboachan.net/fg/res/24.html#6012 ), adding Japanese passwords to his games' files based on old Japanese poems, before finally discontinuing production of Yume Nisshi around June 14th 2013 (

>>100IIRC 711chan was pretty instrumental in Chanology's early days. I don't remember if it actually did start there (or on #insurgency, 711's /i/nvasion IRC at the time), but it did host /xenu/ for a couple months when the ball got rolling. Then when it turned from destructive raids to the protests we all know it for, 711chan bailed out, deleted /xenu/, and banned anyone on /i/ who wanted to do anything similar to it (moralfaggotry, IRL raids, raids on major organizations, etc.). 888chan would continue to host its Chanology board, which created a sort of feud between 711 and 888.
Also, just as an added note on the chan's history, 711chan has had two major incarnations. The first was from its birth in 2007 to sometime in 2010, and it was ran by jewlion. I don't know what killed it, but the general consensus has something to do with CP and Laurelai (yeah,
that one) getting control of the chan. The second incarnation started sometime in spring 2014, and it's run by a guy named parley, who previously ran a small chan called 314chan. Supposedly jewlion's on the new staff as well, but I haven't seen him.

It is often nicknamed /tc/.
An on-site archive is kept on /arc/.
It's been compared to Wizardchan in that they're both for NEETs and look down upon normals, but /tc/ is a little more welcoming and not quite as bitter. Mentioning that you're in a relationship will still get you banned, but they're not going to get riled up because someone mentioned a fellow NEET they've known since high school.
Things like greentext, reaction images, and abusing spoilers will get you banned.
Wordfilters exist for various normal-related words: "girlfriend" -> "3DPD", "normalfag" -> "Ford Driver", etc.
>History:Originally hosted on Imageboard4free, then moved to its own server sometime in 2010.

>>209That's not entirely correct.
Mr. Pacific registered the domain and set up the imageboard, after Keivi (who became a mod) suggested the idea on 4chon's /r9k/. He sold it to Copypaste on May 20, 2013. Copypaste made Glaive admin after announcing a leave of absence on September 15, 2013. Then on September 28 he announced that he had lost his mana and was passing ownership to Anachronos. Glaive retained his admin powers until June 29, 2014, after Anachronos kicked him out for a number of reasons, but he never owned the site. Anachronos disappeared in October.

"I bought this domain sometime in the spring or early summer of 2014. The birth of this board was last August, when it was released by the registrar. I had forgotten about it until then, and around that time I lost my job, so out of boredom and in a drunken bet with myself, I assembled the proper software and launched this site. The current board system was replaced on Halloween last year. I made this site with the intention as cozy place on the Interw3bz for people to just stumble into, kinda like a greasy-spoon diner. I never advertised except for putting up the address on allchans, and everything was just synchronicity from there."
The site was created in 6 hours with original three boards were /lounge/ /stream/ and /hell/

A lot of new changes that made the board more normalfag friendly soon followed the "purchase" so maybe Sopsy did it to guard his reputation. But I don't know what really happened.
/int/ really is one of the better boards so you won't get a good image of what the rest of the site is like from there. /satunnainen/ today is mostly normalfaggotry: relationship issues, underageb& (but they don't actually ban underages anymore!) posting from schools etc. Only sometimes actually good and ebin content is created.
Kuvalauta was the dominant Finnish board in 07-10. The chan wars that sparked Ylilauta happened after Kuvalauta died and no single board filled its vacuum, instead many little boards were created. Eventually Lauta.net and Kotilauta became the main warring boards which were then unified to Ylilauta.

this is just 1 hub in a larger imageboard federation synced via nntp between 7 (or so) different admins that creates 1 uber chan with moderation policies that vary per frontend. most opers disallow illegal content and sometimes gets spammed with crap. no bans possible since everything is done inside tor and i2p. the board software, srnd, was born out of a group of unix wizards on anonet and implements a subset of the nntp protocol, not fully rfc compliant (yet). theoretically can access with newsreader. users can make boards like on 8chan but frontends choose to carry or drop them as they desire. captchas are mandatory due to spam.

Initially a PC master race imageboard, now it's everything and anything with absolutely no banning ever.
>Notes:
Users can create their own boards (even before 8chan's existence), but they have no power except to set things as off topic or on topic to maintain a theme and topic, done this way to prevent power tripping.
Certain boards considered "official" are immune to being deleted but have to maintain an elite quality of conversation
Doesn't delete anything except spam and things that violate US or Dutch law
Falsely accused by Hotwheels as a honeypot
Notable incident in which a user stalked and followed beloved internet girl "Mara Green" to her school leading to her father and Dutch authorities pulling down the website for a few days
Coded entirely from scratch and not based off of any pre-existing imageboard software

Doushio also has

Which is only open one hour once a day or so. Looks like a live board that resets itself every cycle.
