Website 24chan.org

24chan is a *chan site started by a retard named Eric. He started the site on August 19, 2008 on the budget host Netfirms. A few hours after he started the site he was told "GTFO or we will send out the partyvan", so he had to remove all the porn. With the support of two unique posters he decided he'd keep the chan alive by spending all of his yearly allowance on real hosting.

The idea of 24chan came to Eric the day before it was created. The actual name 24chan was chosen after he checked every domain from 0 to 32chan.org, and only 22, 24, and 32 we available. The first night the board consisted of just /b/ running on the Wakaba script, currently the board runs on kusaba.

The Netfirms Incident

After about 18 hours into 24chan's life Netfirms noticed the huge bandwidth cut they were taking, so they decided to investigate. They stumbled upon the /fap/ board and then proceeded to threaten suspension, or delete the images. Here is a transcript of the e-mail that was sent.

 
 
Hello,

Thank you for contacting Netfirms.

If your account is configured to use PHP5 then mbstring is supported however please note that at this time your account currently violates our terms of service.

Please remove these images within the next 24 hours to avoid having your account suspended.

Regards,

Dan

IRC

24chan has an IRC server which isn't used by anyone, since most of the users have no idea how to use an IRC client, so a web client was added. The IRC is located at irc.sinirc.net #24pylons. And nowadays people actually talk since the chat merger with Additional Pylons

Being framed by IMG!

For some reason, the members of 24chan were blamed for the recent DDoS of IMG!. No one understands why, but Tahko continues to blame them, try to set them up, and fabricate fake IRC logs/screen shots. 24chan will never be able to win the argument with Tahko, so they've recently told him to fuck off, and they left it at that, other than the picture on the front page of 24chan. (This picture is also in the gallery, below.) (LOL, pwnt)
