PTchan is a Portuguese bulletin board, founded by “ZX81”¹⁾ that ran from December 16, 2010²⁾³⁾ to July 19, 2018.⁴⁾ This was followed up with an immediate successor, founded by “l29utp0”, on August 15, 2018.⁵⁾ There is not much else to say about PTchan, really.

The first iteration of PTchan was presumably founded by “ZX81”⁶⁾ at the “ptchan.net” domain using Kusaba X on December 16, 2010.⁷⁾⁸⁾ Over the following years, they briefly 'lost' the domain in 2012, added HTTPS support on October 8, 2014, then switched to Vichan on August 11, 2016.⁹⁾ Due to billing issues, PTchan would then shut down on July 19, 2018, mostly because the owner didn't have time to manage it.¹⁰⁾

In 2018, the second iteration of PTchan, founded by “l29utp0”, was initially set up at “ptchan.org” using Vichan on August 15, 2018,¹¹⁾¹²⁾ but switched to the NFPchan fork around October 27, 2018.¹³⁾¹⁴⁾ In 2019, it had a short-lived wiki, then they added “ptchan.org” to the footer. Then on May 1, 2021, they switched over to jschan, temporarily allowing user-created boards,¹⁵⁾ but later downsized in 2025.
