9chan is an imageboard running Infinity Next, an open source software originally commissioned by the users of 8chan to replace Infinity, a pet project of Fredrick Brennan he started while the administrator of Wizardchan. 9chan exists because 8chan does not, and hopes to succeed where 8chan failed. Maybe 9chan will fail, maybe it will never get any interest, but I am compelled to try — with reckless disregard for the outcome.

Global Rules

The Terms of Service lists many things illegal in the US and the contexts for which they are illegal.
https://9chan.us/terms-of-service.html

tl;dr What I will enforce
No prostitution.
No CP, no 3D renderings of CP.
No boards or threads dedicated to: animal abuse ('animal crush'), child nudity, child models.
Lolicon and shotacon will be isolated on boards dedicated to those topics, and which do not allow forms of pornography to be posted alongside it.

Read the ToS for more information.

Infinity Next retains very little information about its users. For more information:
https://9chan.us/privacy-policy.html

Both documents are subject to change at any time.

User Owned Boards

You are encouraged to start your own board by clicking Create Board at the top of the page. As long as your board abides by the global rules and US law, you are free to run it however you please.

However, if there is high demand for a board, and there are multiple, unsatisfactory attempts at user-ran boards for that purpose, I reserve the ability to open a 'federal' board.

I strongly suggest you register with a real email address, not associated with any real or fictitious identities you use elsewhere, which you will have access to later. This email address may be used for account recovery and the claims process down the road. If you need an email provider, I suggest https://protonmail.com, https://cock.li, or https://tutanota.com/. There is no email address verification now, but that may change and people who provided email addresses which do not exist or they do not control may lose access to their boards.

"Federal" Boards

Currently, boards fewer than 4 characters in length (i.e. /0/ through /zzz/) are reserved unconditionally by the administration. Boards that have existed on 4chan are additionally reserved (this extends to /trash/, /bant/, and /news/). I have also taken the liberty to reserve certain other names which I believe will only exist to be used to break the rules..

/9/, /b/, /int/, /mu/, and /news/ currently exist as 'federal' boards. These are boards I run myself, set rules for myself, and staff myself. I want to create as little work for myself as possible, so I am only opening boards I am interested in. I would prefer every board be adequately ran by users.

Infinity Next

Infinity Next is open source and almost entirely written by one person: me.
https://github.com/infinity-next/infinity-next/

The software is definitely not done, but I feel it's at a point where it's safe to start letting people register boards. I could be wrong. Who knows. I'll fix things as I go along. You're welcome to make PRs, but it's a very good idea to email me at josh@jaw.sh before doing anything because I tend to spend 12 hours a day making huge, sweeping changes with zero notice.

The Github will probably be deleted at some point because Github is ran by trannies and they get mad about stupid shit. When we have our new domain, I will move it to a Gitea installation.

If you'd like to report a bug, email josh@jaw.sh.

The Domain

Currently, our domain is https://9chan.us. I intend to move us over to https://9chan.org when it is moved to a new registrar. I will make some effort to notify people, but consider this your notice it will one day redirect to the new domain.


9chan is one guy's work. I've tried very hard to build myself and my Internet infrastructure to the point where hosting a site like this is possible. If it lives or dies, it's not entirely up to me. All I can do is my best. I hope you enjoy your time here, for however long it lasts.

The posting experience here is already phenomenally more impressive than on 8kun, which handles like absolute fucking shit to a point of personal humiliation for both Ron and Jim.

I don't know anything about endchan, but julay.world is ran by the Bitwave weirdo who decided that naming their site after a CWC meme with no board registration was a good idea.

I don't even know what your complaints are but if you can't articulate them I don't really care what they are.

That dumdum header tho.
Generally, the front page is coom.
I didnt visit any chans since 2013 like fr tho so idk maybe that's the type design that people enjoy nowadays ekhm, ehm*
But once you get to the threads and boards its ye olde futabish experience so we gucci. Still, this default infinity header tho. Its like back when everyone 'round the block had to have their own phpBB forum but didnt take any effort to customize and then had 5 users for a week and shit died off.
Except with josh being the masteroverlord he is I have absolutely no questions and no worries about anything dying off other than the (((opposition)))

Hey Josh, the reason you can't cum from sex is probably because you jerk off laying in your stomach, doing this habitually can cause male anorgasmia as you train your dick to respond to very atypical stimuli. If you aren't able to jerk off any other way in a timely manner, and have to lay down on your stomach to finish, this is definitely the cause. Stop jerking off for a while to increase you sensitivity then jerk off sitting down. Do this until you can jerk off to completion quickly either sitting down or laying on your back, and you'll be able to nut during sex again.

Jersh also minor autism nitpick but you say

> You will not sell copies or modifications of this source code (no sublicensing).

in the README for Infinity Next. Sublicensing isn't allowed under the AGPLv3 but selling copies and modifications of Infinity Next are. Section 4 (Conveying Verbatim Copies) of the AGPLv3 explicitly says

> You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey[.]

as long as the distributed software is under the AGPLv3. There are plenty of examples of people selling Linux distros on CDs.

I know that, I'm a B.O. myself but I want them here on the meta discussion board silly. :P

also Im getting a lot of errors like

>too many attempts
>you must wait 10 seconds

even when I wait and I only make 1 post attempt, it's making posting really difficult. I have to refresh the page every single time i want to make a post.

agtha is absolute cringe pedo cancer dedicated to stalking an ugly preteen jewish kike dike and the family constantly filed legal complaints with 8chan/8kun until Ron got sic kof it and deleted the whole board. You should ban agtha and anyone who associates with it. That single board and the cult that spawned from it is the sole reason that small image boards are crawling with pedos these days.

If you filed the trademark after the domain registration, probably, since the domain registration is written-down of someone using that name publicly for something. (In the same vein that if I sell Product X even without a trademark someone can't claim infringement if they have a Product X that they copyright since the name was already in use informally). Again I am not a lawyer, perhaps squatting a domain and doing nothing with it might be different. Or I might just be completely fucking wrong.

With Tor there's not much I can do but make the act of abusing them more difficult. Increasing captcha complexity, disabling Tor thread creation, removing the ability to publish files via Tor, etc. It depends on how bad it gets.

As for VPNs, very little one can do. It'd really blow to have to go full 4cuck and start banning VPNs. Right now we're in a favorable position where people seem (mostly) happy and people are using their tools responsible so I'm not in a hurry to jinx that.

why in the mother of a fuck did you decide to use the .us domain? we are at the grace and mercy of the enemy here, as such, there's no free actually freedom or a point in using this site. your free speech alternative won't last a day longer than however long it takes for something even so slightly controversial to happen by someone who namedrops the site in his epic gamer manifesto.

Josh, I sincerely hope this time around you can get Next off the ground. However, if I were you: I would keep a close eye on /pol/'s bs so they don't fuck the site up for everyone else. I'd also suggest making a stated global rule against posting manifestos/threats of violence to the site. Seriously, it will definitely help you out in the long run and prevent this from becoming that-other-youknowhat-site. Still, nice to see you're giving this another shot.

>Dost isn't a law

Case law.

>nor did it forbid sharing any pictures of children

Contextual. Nudism is fine in nudism sites, but in pornographic contexts (i.e. this 18+ site) it is child porn.

Not going to debate the law. There will not be threads for children on this site. You can DDoS it and spam all you want. The site will simply not exist rather than catering to pedophiles.
