Lolifox (Лолифокс), later called Lisach (Лисач),¹⁾ was a Russian bulletin board, founded by “Azusa” (Азуса),²⁾ that ran from June 17, 2017 to May 29, 2019. It was mostly remembered for its split from BRchan, then it would be sold, mismanaged to hell, and given a mercy killing.

For context, a contingent of Russian Sosach refugees had fled to BRchan, following the Mail.ru deal in 2016,³⁾ and “Azusa” effectively became the main developer of BRchan as they turned the Vichan fork into Radiant, even allowing people to make their own boards. After several months, there would be an alleged conflict about the server costs, causing the Russians turn against “Kalinka” in favor of the actual developer.⁴⁾⁵⁾

On June 17, 2017, the “lolifox.org” domain was registered and used a copy of BRchan's servers. In 2018, the website was reported, so the “lisach.net” mirror was registered,⁶⁾ then they implemented HTTPS but ran into the problem where it couldn't read IPs using HTTPS. On August 21, 2018, “Azusa” reportedly sold Lolifox to “Abu” is a deal that ended up costing about ₽100,000 (about $1,500).

However, “Abu” would ask for donations, which was met with scorn as he couldn't code and users scrutinized the purchase if he allegedly made ₽5,000 every two months. In 2019, their domain was suspended, so the “lisach.cf” mirror was registered, then he slipped up by mentioning a '$5 paywall'.⁷⁾ On April 16, 2019, RKN would blacklist “lolifox.org”, then the “lisach.cf” domain was suspended in the following month.

For some reason, “Abu” would resign and, reportedly, relinquished control back to “Azusa” on May 27, 2019, with no mention about the rubles wasted on the website. By that point, a mercy killing was the appropriate decision to make, so the website effectively shuttered on May 29, 2019 and left behind a meaningless redirect to a certain pornographic website that the last owner did business with.
