The Great Vichan Crisis

The Great Vichan Crisis refers to Angeleno's decision to archive the Vichan repository on GitHub on July 6th, 2026, writing: "Vichan has reached its end of life. many of us have lost interest in the project, and the current direction of the internet has not been good for imageboards, whether its ID verification laws, big social media companies killing competition, or Google being hostile towards smaller sites. There are other imageboard engines out there but even if you use them, these are still issues you will need to think about if you start an imageboard or UGC website. You can still install or fork vichan, but do so at your own risk." He also redirected Vichan's wiki, vichan.info, to the Electronic Frontier Foundation's website at eff.org (dick move coz what if you still wanna use vichan and need the vichan wiki to help you).

Apparently Vichan has become vulnerable to exploits, which is REALLY bad news for anyone who cares about imageboards.
