History
On September 20, 2020, “Soot” sets up an imageboard at “soyjak.party”, using Vichan, and advertised it on 4chan's “Question & Answer” (/qa/) board.4) After a week, the right-wing pejorative “Chud” had became the default name. Over the next two years, the website would gain a considerable amount of traction, generating some semblance of culture, crafting a wiki, and gathering a reputation for their sizable raids.
Following a warring period,5)6) “Kuz” purchased Soyjak Party on July 14, 2022,7) then a rogue 4chan janitor dumped off a wave of internal leaks on August 19, 2022.8)9)10) During this period, “SoyTube Kids”11)12) and “ChudBob SoyPants”13)14) went viral. Then on April 17, 2023, “Doll” became an interim administrator,15) ends up buying the website on July 23, 2023,16) but a brief period of chaos followed.17)
“Doll” ended up divesting ownership, forming a triumvirate with “Angeleno” and “Froot” on August 22, 2023, then “Doll” and “Angeleno” left on August 31, 2023 and October 9, 2023 respectively.18) This would leave “Froot” as de-facto administrator with “Doll” occasionally resurfacing,19) then “Root” managed to replace him as co-administrator on March 17, 2024.20) A bunch of shit nobody cares about ensues.21)

Notes
- The original mascot of Soyjak Party was an anthropomorphic Soylent bottle named “Soy-tan”, but she was replaced with the “Impish Soyak Ears” variant during the 2022 acquisition.
- It isn't a secret that the community occasionally partakes in trolling, raiding, and doxing, but they have weaponized their obscurity, blaming 4chan or Reddit to mislead victims for humorous effect.
- You can find a “Jackbox” thread on /soy/, where they target small Twitch streamers that happen to be playing The Jackbox Party Pack or holding a public Discord voice call. In these threads, they will attempt to coordinate a way to “chud it up” (CIU) with disturbing imagery, then mass report said content to get the Twitch stream or Discord guild banned, but sometimes tip themselves off.
- Of course, the Jackbox Games developers would eventually became aware of their activities in September 2022, then people began spreading awareness on Twitter by November 2022.22)
- It should be mentioned that these types of threads will occasionally attract extortion groups trying to fit in, which the Sharty userbase have caught onto and severely frown down upon.
- The Internet Archive has decided to exclude the “soyjak.party” domain around February 2024.
- You can disable and adjust the NSFW filter in options. If you want to mess around with the filter, try this CSS rule:
img[style*="filter: blur(18px)"] {filter: blur(0px) !important;} - Personally, the name “Bald Cartoon Man With Glasses Website” and its variants are funnier though.
- Media Pending Approval.
