Onechan was a German bulletin board, co-founded by “Numen Nex” and “One”, that ran from 2005 to 2012. They were one of the earliest German bulletin boards of its kind, but historically, it's a merely forgotten footnote in the histories of Einskanal, Dreikanal, and Krautchan.

The website was co-founded by “Numen Nex” and “One” (!lReH8.iKNM) at the “onechan.net” domain using Wakaba on April 11, 2005.¹⁾ A year later, they relaunched under new ownership on April 15, 2006,²⁾ but people were deterred by the excessive pornographic advertisements that some users created the short-lived Einskanal, followed by the short-lived Dreikanal at IB4F, and eventually Krautchan on May 1, 2007.

Even after 4chan's “/b/-day” fiasco on August 23, 2006, Onechan never really stood out. By 2010, they had formally made the switch to Kusaba X on July 26, 2010,³⁾ but it was still plagued by the aforementioned advertisments. Around April 6, 2012, the website forgot to renew their domain, given the GoDaddy page, so it was presumed dead by that point.⁴⁾

• For some reason, Onechan's co-founder refused to use the German localization strings in Wakaba,⁵⁾ which does makes sense, but it's a very odd decision to make for a *German* website.
