Turkish bulletin boards
There have been a number of anonymous Turkish-language bulletin board websites, but there isn't that much to write about,1) and you easily get the feeling that the 'active' websites aren't used much. However, I didn't want to write nothing on the matter, so I'll leave something to go off of.
Defunct boards

Notes
- The term, 'çan' (chan), will be mistranslated as 'bell' if you aren't careful.
- The term, 'sıçan' (sichan), means 'rat'. It's occasionally thrown around to refer to its former userbase.
1)
Other than ancient posts from 4chan and Ekşi Sözlük, the only thing of substance is the Yansiklopedi article on Toruchan, but it's non-serious and the article is about a website that died back in 2018.
2)
"hoşgeldiniz gençler" (May 21, 2011). Turkchan /tr/.
3)
TRchan's estimated death is between August 21, 2013 and October 13, 2013.
4)
"turkchan.org açıldı!" (October 15, 2013). Steam Community.
5)
"Hey uhh, we have passed to the new site so here's the link." (October 16, 2013). 4chan /int/.
6)
"neden tüm zamanların en korkunç filmini halen izlemedin anon?" (October 17, 2013). Turkchan /tv/.
7)
Turkchan's estimated death is between March 18, 2016 to July 25, 2016.
8)
"admin bu tirad kaybolursa ananı sikerim" (October 16, 2013). Toruchan /xoru/.
9)
Sichan's domain was released in 2019, ending with a short animation saying it died in 2018.
10)
Tahta's first news post was allegedly made on October 24, 2013 and the oldest archived thread that I could find was made on October 27, 2013.
11)
Five seconds of research will tell you that nobody likes “Tunay”, often rendered as “Tungay” or “Tunpiç”, presumably because the moderation style is haphazard as the rules are vague.
12)
"This is nice board" (March 7, 2021). Kereste /comfy/.
13)
"Hayırlı olsun o zaman ilk osuruğu ben çakayım zorrrrrt" (March 7, 2021). Kereste /kaos/.
14)
Kereste was originally anime-themed, imitating 4chan's /qa/ or /jp/ spinoffs, but some migrations occurred, then it suddenly changed ownership around October 2022 and recently became a cesspool.
