BRchan was a Brazilian Portuguese bulletin board that began on AnonIB around 2006,¹⁾ went independent under “R.” from 2009²⁾³⁾ to 2013, then “Kaklina” revived it in 2015⁴⁾ and struggled to keep the website afloat until 2020. It currently remains a splash page with the logo.

In 2006, the idea of a Brazilian Portuguese-language imageboard was proposed,⁵⁾ so “Chavez” would set up the original BRchan at AnonIB on May 31, 2006,⁶⁾ which meant that BRchan would be stuck with AnonIB's server issues and eventually lost users to 55chan. Then on January 16, 2009, the first independent iteration of BRchan was initially established by “R.” at the “brchan.org” domain, and it used Kusaba X.⁷⁾⁸⁾

The community was otherwise unremarkable until 55chan's death in late 2010, which ended up drawing in an influx of 55chan refugees and the Dogola meme. In 2011, they started taking donations to cover new server costs.⁹⁾ At some point, BRchan started gaining publicity on Facebook, so the idea of moderating /b/ to became unrealistic. BRchan then shut down on April 19, 2013, so most refugees moved to 55ch.

Around December 24, 2015, the second iteration of BRchan returned to “brchan.org” using Vichan,¹⁰⁾ except “Kaklina” couldn't code. In 2016, Sosach's controversial Mail.ru deal brought this random influx of Russian refugees to BRchan around September 28, 2016,¹¹⁾ so “Utsuha” (later “Azusa”) became their main coder, and they would end up with a Vichan fork called Radiant which notably allowed user-created boards.

In 2017, there was an alleged dispute, so most users followed the developer to Lolifox,¹²⁾¹³⁾ and BRchan was forced to reset in September and returned to default Vichan. After this, a Telegram-related boycott occurred, then BRchan switched to 8chan's OpenIB on December 31, 2018,¹⁴⁾ but despite their best efforts, the website ended up closing, in less than three weeks, by January 18, 2019.

For BRchan's 13th anniversary, BRchan temporarily reopened with Kusaba X on October 31, 2019,¹⁵⁾ where “R.” wrote a long heartfelt message.¹⁶⁾ After the event concluded, BRchan closed, but decided to become a short-term refuge during the pandemic from March 20, 2020¹⁷⁾ to May 10, 2020. From there, the splash page became temporarily redirect to a nostalgia-focused VHSchan, then the banana logo again.
