They archived it and added this message: >Vichan has reached its end of life. many of us have lost interest in the project, and the current direction of the internet has not been good for imageboards, whether its ID verification laws, big social media companies killing competition, or Google being hostile towards smaller sites. There are other imageboard engines out there but even if you use them, these are still issues you will need to think about if you start an imageboard or UGC website. You can still install or fork vichan, but do so at your own risk.
Anonymous · 2026-07-13 22:47 [#8990][report] It's not possible to run a vichan instance without getting flooded by spam of illegal bullshit and you have barely any tools to deal with it, so every altchan runs its own modifications. It would be better to start from scratch, rather than trying to patch the existing software to try to tackle issues that didn't exist when it was first created.

Anonymous · 2026-07-14 00:34 [#9034][report] I've been making my own imageboard engine to run locally on small devices like OpenWRT routers. It used to use only FastCGI with a tiny binary but I've been greatly expanding it and moved to HTTP server + SQLite.
At this point it's fully functional but the problem is of course... what's the point? You can't put it online without bad actors slapping your shit, and if you put it online there's already a bunch of other imageboards with 3 users.

The only hurdle is the constant AI slop project spam, so it will be harder to spot a serious project when it arrives. You have to think about all the spam, bots and schizos during the design phase already and may need an account system as well, which can be optional for instances to enable, so you can still have anonymous places. Maybe the ability to federate as well.
vichan was good. It gets used a lot and every little no-experience fag can modify it, speaking for its quality. But the future needs something different.

You can have a registration but without kyc bs just a username and password, for the mods to see, while you can be anonymous to users, with the choice to reveal your identity when it matters. Traditional 2chan type boards need to develop and adapt to the modern time. Ironically, most of the OG boards pulled the plug because of illegal uploads and spam, yet no anontard thought of a solution.

The "10 pages of 15 threads per page" thing would have to go. Even with 15min thread creation cooldown, a single person with two devices can still occupy and bump 10 threads per board, so 7% of the whole catalog. Only super high activity can drown that out, and only 4chan had that. So rather than trying to fight the uphill battle against schizos and spam, it would be better to provide the user with the ability to filter for what he is interested in. Basically, the concept of "boards" needs to go. The user should have the ability to say "i want to see tech threads that aren't about AI", which could be done by tagging. Then some schizo can spam 100 Anthropic advertising threads and it wouldn't bother you. >>23097 >If anons would accept mandatory accounts (but still anonymous posting), this problem would be resolved 4chan does that. Without an established aged tracking cookie, you can't do much. If you delete your cookie, you more likely than not need to very with email (so: login). It's not any different than posting with an account, we just don't call it that way and play pretend.

I was initially targeting an anonymity profile similar to here but with the ethereum crops mandate were getting private reads/writes and with focil there is forced block inclusion so block creators cant just forget about your tx. So with the vpn self node+tor with crops plus mixer your getting a very steep anonymity profile that is fully composible with other onchain primitives.
Havent looked at other privacy chains too deeply to see what the game plan is

There are some less popular but well established privacy coins I've been keeping track of because they could enable something very similar to your vision but with faster settlement, inherent anonymity and lower transactional costs but I don't think they're ready yet so again fair enough to go with ETH and have something real if imperfect vs something that might be perfect on paper but doesn't yet exist.

There are certain rules in place on 4chan that you have somehow never noticed, which ban posts that name competing sites.

On some boards it's down to 2007 levels so there's no way it is "normalizing". Many boards also feel genuinely slower, like /g/ has the same threads up for what feels like the entire week now. It's in fact ten times slower than in 2007 because back then the bump limit was something like 100 posts, today it is 5 times that, so threads rotate significantly slower.

Alright so,
4chan got popular in the mid 2000s because you could share images easily instead of having to use photo bucket to share stuff on forums. No one cared about the fact that your stuff will be deleted because the culture was "on the internet no one knows you're a dog" in the good way
There are two values to 4chan's anonymity in theory. The first is that it would promote higher quality discussion by focusing on the subject matter instead of the person saying it. The second is that the anonymity provided to you will allow you to share things you wouldn't otherwise
The first value was proven false (see the poopdickschizo greentext about modern 4chan generals), turns out it's impossible to actually make a website anonymous if someone is interested in being not anonymous or a personality
The second value is not valued by most people. 4chan implemented $pur which is an Israeli spyware company middleman. If you are not using a ban 3vasion website run by zoopedos you have compromised this value so obviously you never cared about it either. And normies really don't see the value in sharing opinions anonymously any more. You can share /pol/ opinions on twitter using your real name, no one cares anymore.
Actually having anonymity means you cannot moderate the website. Evasion is unstoppable
And of course the moderation on this site is a joke and the mods and admins are not interested in the fundamental values of the site.
I don't care how many times you tell me to kill myself. An image of a 10 year old in a swimsuit from an Amazon listing is not a rule 1 violation. When the social contract is broken between users and mods, and mods do not have sufficient power to stop evaders what you get is a core group of angry users who will post whatever they want. And here we are
4chan is over because it's not really necessary anymore and the kids have moved on. I'll still use it to post AI children in swimsuits though every so often
Anonymous · 2026-07-18 13:18 [#9918][report] [deleted by 4chan - preserved by Cyberix]
And I want to emphasize again, barely is actually interested in what 4chan truly promised. Take a look through this thread. Look at how many people are suggesting some form of accounts or email verification. Honestly, my personal issue is that there isn't enough like-minded people to fill a board because they're all panopticon loving tourists.
Imageboards will not go away though because they are useful for low bandwidth and no JavaScript environments such as Tor. The image board is the perfect format for ephemeral darknet sites when expiring content is actually a feature not a bug

What you're doing is proving my point. Blocking non JavaScript means you're fingerprinting / deanonymizing users. If you are more worried about CP spam than just doing your job as an admin and allowing anonymous discussion then you are not interested in the values of image boards and a matrix server would be more valuable for you
Anonymous · 2026-07-18 13:56 [#9925][report] >>25076 >Imageboards are outdated tech and only good for 2004-level bandwidth and technology (aka Tor with no JavaScript)
You do understand that the difference between 4chan, twitter, and oldschool forums is 1. accounts, 2. how the frontend presents posts/threads and 3. the post length limits? I could make threads, get replies, and post images in 2004 on phpBB and Invision based forums. You could write a custom frontend based on the 4chan API threads end point to get a design that looks exactly the same as phpBB board indexes. The post backlinks already act as the reply collections on twitter, it's only missing the reblog and like buttons and those would be trivial to add to the backend/frontend.
>If you are more worried about CP spam than just doing your job as an admin CP spam is basically an hourly thing on even smaller altchans (we have a tracker for it), blocking that isn't a matter of "doing your job", it's impossible to do fast enough so your users are not subject to it. And I should point out that as long as you are not taking it down, you are technically hosting CP on your server, which has legal ramifications.
>and allowing anonymous discussion then you are not interested in the values of image boards and a matrix server would be more valuable for you We are having anonymous discussions right here right now, it has nothing to do with blocking javascript or tor. Those are necessary for MODERATION, otherwise it is impossible to ban bad posters, and once your site gets even slightly popular you'll be flooded by the first dumbfucks who want to prove they have the biggest autism. But maybe you are too much of a newfag to remember how much of a problem this used to be here on 4chan as well, we even have a banner to commemorate it (download the image, rename it to .hta, and shit bricks).

Another interesting point is that in theory with good enough AI you can just have 4chan at home.

>Every single other social media with 1000x more spam can do it. They have revenues and can afford paid workers whose job is to do that. Even 4chan has people in paid positions to take care of the site (RapeApe gets a monthly salary of $4000+ from 4chan LLC). A small altchan has 1 admin and maybe a few mods who can't possibly take care of the site 24/7 for free.
>s#arty figured out how to stop the spam once and for all and they're a larger altchan than you. Yes, by extreme fingerprinting.

>You are not having an anonymous discussion. An anonymous discussion means that we, who are posting and replying to each other, do not know of each others identity. The person running the place still needs to have a way of tracking us for reasons such as the safety of the place and, you know, laws.

Anonymous · 2026-07-19 00:40 [#10182][report] >>25117 Basically what 4chan is doing now but with 4chanX fix/themes. Floating board bar search in bar all that. Tbh the biggest things I would like is the floating post box its always been annoying and I think 4chanx does it best. I would not allow for multiple fucking images or huge long text posts on the pages in threads doesnt rly matter. search function etc the same. There is only show much you can change with an imageboard that will work. I still don't get how people used 4+4chan or these other altchans with a billion images cluttered as fuck front page.
Oh and huge fucking gripe is archives. We shouldn't have fuckin archives. I used to be in favor purely when 4chan used to be smaller but now its just fucking dumb faggots searching archives for schizo theories.

Boards would simply be posts from a bot with some incremental numbering, so the frontend doesn't need to deal with millions of replies to a single board post. Anon posting would be done via a relay server using an anon account, namefag posting would use your active Bluesky account.
That way you would need no real server to host, just a minimal server to run a bot. Of course moderation is a much bigger problem than hosting, but still.

Considering that, it's no surprise some other anon might feel compelled to call you a tranny in response.

>>25094 >You keep yapping on about how people don't get "the true value of image boards" but here you're pretty much admitting there's none. There is value, to people like me, not to normgroids that just want to be entertained and stimulated. I'd never share my opinions under my real name unless I'm trying to get political power out of it so websites like this give me an out even if it's now mostly screaming into the void
But that was exactly my implication in my first paragraph. 4chan was valuable due to the internet at the time. Society has unfortunately moved on even if people like us have not.
I will never be ok with not being able to call someone a disgusting nigger tranny to their face in an online discussion. I have done this discord garbage before where you have to deal with power dynamics from losers who are more terminally online than you are because you can't just call them a disgusting tattooed freak. I am here until the wheels fall off then I might just AI generate a replacement at that point

You can spin up a no logs no automatic-reporting-of-CSAM needed image board in a relevant jurisdiction (Japan is a great one, non nude but blatantly sexualized kids is legal to host permanently) in an hour. There is no "need" to keep logs. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Once you get prosecuted you better have an airtight alibi though, and in the case of a website that means having enough logs.

Anonymous · 2026-07-19 22:24 [#10455][report] >>24996 Most boards are down to 2007 levels of posting, and every board has anywhere between 1-5 AI threads (/g/ probably has more) so actual real posting levels are probably far far worse. Additionally, the site has 5x bigger bump limits so threads now stay around for a week when in 2007 they'd last at most a day (the faster thread rotation made every board feel a lot faster than they are now).

The catalog sometimes takes a week or more to completely roll over on all but the biggest boards on 4chan. At least here on /g/ I can see threads lasting at least that long.

Plus they also would need to update PHP and update all mysql calls which is a major problem when your site runs 2012 code.
