Karachan¹⁾ is a Polish bulletin board, founded by “Zalgo” on June 3, 2010, hidden behind these security measures and requires a Polish IP to post. Despite their standing, there's nothing interesting about it, carrying the usual complaints about inept moderation, unwanted users, etc.

On June 3, 2010, “Zalgo” sets up Karachan at “karachan.org” using a Kusaba X fork.²⁾ Following significant media coverage in Gazeta Wyborcza³⁾ and Telewizja Polska,⁴⁾ security measures were propped up. Karachan later switched to Mitsuba around September 11, 2013. Due to the website being unarchivable, a lot of finer details about the 2010s were either lost or not worth mentioning (e.g. hacks, raids, etc.).

In the late 2010s, a rogue moderator gave every user access to their control panel on September 16, 2016, which co-administrator “Malkovich” later fixed. For 2018, the users would troll a YouTube blogger named Tomasz Terka, attempting to frame him for the murder of a teenage girl from Rubnik,^5)6)7)8) and borrowing his name to insult former politician Krzysztof Kononowicz.⁹⁾

For the following decade, “Hendrickson” acquired Karachan on August 7, 2020 and reveals their statistics,¹⁰⁾ but Karachan would come under a slew of criticism over the next few years. Then on February 4, 2023, a longtime moderator had an infamous 'volcanic' meltdown.¹¹⁾ From there, the website kept going in a direction that resembled the fate of Vichan, meaning they were becoming too casual or 'normie' for them.

The traditional way to access Karachan is through an ad blocking extension's filters, provided below, but you could also subscribe to Chan Filter or something. Alternatively, if you prefer using a userscript manager (e.g. Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, etc.), there is the Karachan Unlocker userscript. These may change at any time, and I don't check these often, so be warned.

If you're a mobile user, you will actually need to browse to the search page at /fnd/ or /search.php, then navigate to settings, find the 'User JS' tab, insert the following code, and then save it.

localStorage.xD = "xD"
function setCookie(c_name, value, exdays) {
  var exdate = new Date();
  exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
  var c_value = escape(value) + ((exdays == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + exdate.toUTCString());
  document.cookie = c_name + "=" + c_value + "; path=/";
}
setCookie('regulamin', 'accepted', 365);
$('#czaj').remove();
