The 8chan refugee crisis
>August 2019:
the whole 8chan deplatforming ended up causing quite some problems to nanochan, right at the beginning of the month on top of all the pre-existent problems, a wave of very rude refugees from 8chan/pol/ started storming(ah ah) the website, with no care for the existing culture and userbase they declared nanochan their own bunker board and shitted all over the place, with the exception of the BOND fags which were respectful and earned a rightfully deserved a temporary home on nanochan for a while, users opposed resistance to this but the numerical difference was a major factor, in the end sakamoto just decided to hide /pol/ from the overboard and with time the problem fixed itself and things got back to normality, in the meantime the antipornfag was btfo, but asukafag continued his spam and attack relentlessly, forcing most pages on the website behind a captcha.
The great hapa war
>From begin of September 2019 to end of October 2019:
the tensions between the moderation and asukafag started quickly rising again with asuka employing vicious spam tactics like copypasting low quality threads from 4chan, using multiple identities and impersonating users, at some point asukafag was banned again this time in a more serious manner, enforcing this ban proved to be non without a heavy price though since asukafag stopped using a single identity, many innocent posts were removed during the great hapa war and in many cases asukafag cause friendly fire on purpose to generate malcontent in the userbase, at some point umarufag was recruited back as a gvol to fight the hapas although to his own admission he was useless and focused on basic-tier janny jobs instead, in September asukafag launched his own imageboard engine "picochan" as a rewrite of the original nanochan code first in Lua and then in LuaJIT originally as small as ~2000 sloc counting SQL and CSS, during this period anti-C and anti-UNIX activity got more frequent.
A quapa end to a hapa war
>From begin of November 2019 to begin of December 2019:
while the great hapa war was raging a new figure emerged from unknown shitposting territories, it is unknown if it was only one person or multiple persons, but it all started when he begain to impersonate asukafag, in the future this impersonator will become infamous as the quapafag, as opposed to the automated and subtle ways of spamming of asukafag the qaupafag employed manual and creative spam thread and reposted them over and over each time they were deleted, these thread often made fun of the moderation, propaganda or outright bullying(like that one post with the sakamoto furry porn), but other times attacked asukafag himself often with copypastas of asuka being quapa and his use of the avatar illegitimate or that quapas were superior to hapas mimicking his own meme, asukafag during this time also launched the first iteration of nanochang his own nanochan clone running picochan, after some drama about the release and conversion of the database he just decided to start from scratch, although there was in the beginning some activity the place quickly died, in the end the great hapa war eventually ended after lot of people were calling for sakamoto to resign he finally did passing admin position to endofunctor, also asukafag stopped avatarfagging after the quapafag stole his avatar, there is no clear way to say who won the great hapa war although possibly the quapafag got the highest number of "kills" although it is not even certain which side he was on though, now let's observe a moment of silence to remember that brave nanon which got vanned cause he had incestuous sex with his underage sister, never forgetti.

The soy era
>From middle of December 2019 to middle of May 2020:
after the war ended there was much reconstruction to do, after a relatively easy server migration endofunctor started making improvements to the nanochan code which has longgoing problems, he also announced that he wanted to rewrite the whole code in Rust this angered many users and asukafag in particular which after sakamoto was no more got a new toy to bully, still even if he started well endofunctor soon showed lazyness and unresponsiveness to the users, in particular there were two very annoying bugs that plagues the website, one that duplicated posts and another that made references appear on other threads, in the end the Rust rewrite was never finished and the project was finally completely dead when he announced that he had lost his passwords and he couldn't access his code or the server anymore, this left the server in a undead state where no changes could be made to the code and where if the disk space run out the board would shut down, in the end the problem was solved when Nyanonymous convinced endofunctor to rent a new server, this on the other hand created that annoying redirect if try to access from the old onions, during this period starfag left the website definitely although she was already posting less cause she was being stalked by the feetfag, the soy era was characterized by a steady decline in post quality and an increase in quantity of posts and quantity of sage and 4cuck-tiers posts with many more pepes and wojacks, much of the cancer on /l/ in particular was caused by incels, on the beginning of January asukafag launched his hapa supremacy focused board hapachan running picochan(which was in a advanced development stage at this point), hapachan suffered from spam from the quapafag from day one and then from the feetfag while at the same time it struggled in finding a userbase of its own, hapachan was shut down by asukafag after few months and same happened to nanochang.
The cancer era
>From end of May 2020 to begin August 2020:
the month of May 2020 was by far the most active month in the history of nanochan, but the end of the month was filled with unrest, during the third week of May Nyanonymous randomly decided on its own to remove the quality rules from all boards this caused much confusion since even if endofunctor did not refuse the rule change he still kept deleting posts on his own term, then during the last week of May a major war between the antianimefag and the /a/fags exploded and basically killed the website actively and forced nanochan into a soft reset, during May there was a small resurgence of avatarfags but it soon died out, at the beginning of june the /oc/ board was created, but activity soon died out, asukafag also reopened nanochang as "Nanochan-V" just for it to be spammed constantly by the quapafag and the feetfag, Nanochan-V was shut down by asukafag again cause of the spam and technical problems cause by the tor boomers tripping on his server ethernet cables, during the summer the level of cancer raised steadily with many newfags replacing the original nanons, new more cancerous avatarfags like the reifag and an invasion of "gay little anime girls", slowly nanochan was dying of terminal cancer...
>Beginning of August 2020 ~ 2020-08-13:
Nyanonymous literally pulled the plug of nanochan's life support and the server died of terminal cancer, in all seriousness seems like he triggered a bug on endofunctor spaghetti code while deleting a post, the current situation is that endofunctor disappeared and it is still impossible to post, the possumfag made a bunker that nobody uses and asukafag has yet another time reopened nanochang, the future of nanochan remain uncertain at this point.

gay little anime girls did nothing wrong

nanochang best nano

Nanochang the gayest chan on the darknet.

I feel like there's mentally ill individuals whose purpose is to do nothing but destroy every comfy imageboard in existence.

your definition of "comfy" may be "friendly for people with down syndrome". get that checked up

While what you've written might not really be false I just want to point out you didn't really elaborate on one important nanon that had enormous influence on the site, nanon that changed lives of many for good, nanon that made nanonchan discussion high quality.
Yes yes, it's of course ANTIANIMEPORNFAG, as called by other users.
Person who spread antianime and antiporn message to free nanons from addiction, nanon that did his best to stop degeneracy on nanochan and encourage quality discussion rather than mindless spam. He was a controversial figure, not liked by some (including moderation) but objectively trying to make nanochan a better place for all of us. He who stood up against kikery.
It wasn't easy. Sometimes he would give up and leave nanochan only to return and spread his knowledge. Sometimes he himself would lose hope only to see other antianime and antiporn nanons trying their best to make world a better place. He planted a seed but it's other nanons that made it grow so they could make it a part of nanochan identity, not just yet another shill attempt.
I think it would be fair to include that in Nanochan History thread. No one knows how nanochan would look today, it might have becomen a failed imageboard like many on darknet. He made it grow.
