My chans franchise! Anonymous 05/22/2026 (Fri) 23:47:09 No. 12511
Recently, I had the idea for a small personal project where I intend to create a franchise of chans! My main idea is to create chans with themes and boards dedicated to sub-niches... like an IB dedicated only to music, another dedicated only to games, another dedicated only to anime, nother dedicated only to tech, another dedicated only to NEETs, another dedicated only to hikikomori, another dedicated only to books, and so on! This idea arose mainly from my dissatisfaction with current social networks and my desire for specific spaces where people can find niche communities, far from the degeneration of current social networks. However, I wanted to present this idea to you before anything else to see if you support it.

What you're describing is just a regular imageboard, but with boards focused on more specific themes (like what you find on Japanese BBS sites). So it's doable. The problem, once again (like with all other boards), is how are you gonna bring people to it

Oh shit, no, I didn't get it. You wanna build a whole fucking army of chans based on specific themes? Well, it's totally ineffective, but I love the idea. MORE AND EVEN MOARE CHANS!!!1
>>
>>12512 Wrong! It's not just one chan! It's several chans, each dedicated to a single niche! And I intend to promote this project with an AI vtuber I created that will start doing live streams; I just need a better computer to run it. >>12513 >You wanna build a whole fucking army of chans based on specific themes? Exactly, my friend! And I intend to create dedicated and safe spaces only for those interested in truly having a strong community far from the current degeneration of the internet! neco_dance2

it's crazy you use Okabe as OP pic. i am playing Steins Gate right now. are you stalking me OP? skeptical

>>12519 I am! neco_dance

This already exists, it's called the internet.
>>
>>12511 i think we should first send already existing instances of themed chans like 39chan for vocaloid otterchan for otters mathchan for maths hikarin, send your favorite specific niche IBs! wink (and also check syrno.net/links)

>>12514 >Exactly, my friend! And I intend to create dedicated and safe spaces only for those interested in truly having a strong community far from the current degeneration of the internet! If you really want to build a massive fucking BBS army, I'll give you a few tips. 1. Avoid imageboards. Too much cpspam. 2. Buy as many cheap domains as you can and make a TON OF SUBDOMAINS!!! That's what the Japanese did for their BBSs in the late 1990s and early 2000s 3. If you want a free host that lets you make tons of sites without too much trouble, AwardSpace is good. Even though I've seen some fags complain about it, it's the only host that hasn't banned my board. Both text and imageboards. 4. AVOID VICHAN PLEASE 5.???? 6. PROFIT!!1 Some board scripts: https://overscript.net/ https://wakaba.c3.cx/releases/Kareha/ https://wakaba.c3.cx/releases/Wakaba/ https://www.kent-web.com/bbs/ https://www.kent-web.com/chat/ https://github.com/Beijingvinc/Licchannel https://codeberg.org/tslocum/tinyib https://web.archive.org/web/20040708022200/http://php.s3.to/script.php# https://github.com/nahi/kinoboards https://github.com/Heyaoi/ksphp-plus

>>12522 Thanks, I didn't know about those chans! >hikarin, send your favorite specific niche IBs I don't have that much material yet! disgust >check syrno.net/links checked it out and liked it! I took a look at the website; I'll use these sites as visual references to build the project! >>12523 LETST FUKEEEEN GOOOO!!!! I really liked the idea of ​​textboards! I plan to do the following: I'm going to separate the site according to a layered theme; each subdomain will be a different chan, the main page will catalog them, and each subdomain will have its own specific boards. This makes it easier to keep the whole idea in a centralized project! I'll take the reference material you sent me and keep you updated on how the project is going! Man, this is definitely gold! neco_arc

>>12524 >>12523 This is pretty much just what iichan was.

OP here! I definitely don't know anything about web development! Instead of creating multiple subdomains or one website, I'm going to create multiple applications! I'm basically going to create a 3D-style textboard inspired by those Star Wars CD-based opening pages! Unfortunately, front-end development has never been my strong suit, I apologize for that HAHAHAHAHAH! laugh

i hate larpers so much its unreal
>>
>>12528 I was thinking the same thing while reading this thread.
>>
>>12528 This isn't LARP because it's taking place online. It's just RP.
>>
>>12537 i kinda hate how the term larper has replaced the term poser. they aren't the same thing at all.
>>
>>12546 Kind of unfortunate when something becomes a buzzword because the common everyday knuckledragger doesn't actually understand what it means. Just like when POV got popular a while back and sub 80 IQ tards started using it wrong constantly.
