9channel (also known as 9ch, 9ch8br, Devyach, 9chan) is a Russian imageboard that Kuz claims to have founded on March 14, 2005.
According to Kuz, 9channel started as a simple file-sharing site. Then DCP joined in 2006 and fixed everything. The site moved from TOR to clearnet, got boards, and became a "hotbed of criminal activity."
Kuz claims 9channel had 500,000 users by 2017.
The site was shut down in 2017 for "legal reasons."
History
According to Kuz, 9channel was created on March 14, 2005. It was inspired by 2chan and 4chan. He claims he visited 4chan and was inspired by the design.
The site had a board called /ap/ for file sharing. Later, DCP added /a/ for anime discussion. It grew to have 94 boards.
In 2008, DCP hired Anton Maximov (Max) as a moderator.
9channel was shut down on December 22, 2017 along with most of Kuz's other websites, after the Russian government cracked down on piracy and other illegal content. DCP quit the internet entirely after 9channel's collapse.
