Fchan is an English furry bulletin board that was founded by “Dr. Pon” in late 2004 after 5chan's closure, and it contains a significant amount of adult content. It's currently managed by “Xenofur”, and remains the oldest furry-themed imageboard to this date.

The closure of 5chan on October 24, 2004 had displaced their furry community, so “Dr. Pon” sets up Fchan at “fchan.freeserverhost.com” some time after. However, they quickly ran into bandwidth issues, so they migrated over to “fchan.hentaiplanet.com” by December 25, 2004.¹⁾ Due to the lack of archives, it isn't known how many times the database was reset if at all or board software changes.²⁾

On March 11, 2005, “Dr. Pon” announced that since he didn't have the time to manage Fchan, he asked the community to discuss his successor.³⁾ They originally selected “Freehaven” but his internet was about to go out, so he handed the website over to “Sage Nadia” and the moderation team. A few months later, they had a hardware failure, forcing them to start all over on December 8, 2005.⁴⁾

After almost three years, Fchan would move to “fchan.us” on June 22, 2007 where they remain today. There isn't much else to talk about regarding Fchan aside from administrative antics and changes.

• Fchan started out using Futabally for their image boards, but quickly switched over to Wakaba, while the text boards still use Shiichan even after the author suggested an alternative.⁵⁾
• It should be noted that Fchan had existed long before 4chan had their “April Furs Day” prank in 2005.
