Specific historical information about https://13chan.net/ such as its exact founding date, wasn’t readily available in the search results. However, based on the site’s own description, 13chan presents itself as a personal image-based bulletin board focused strongly on user privacy and freedom. Its most distinguishing feature compared to a site like 4chan is its primary operation as a Tor hidden service, meaning users typically need the Tor Browser to access it, emphasizing anonymity and making it harder to trace.

An independent competitor to 8chan, styled 8chan.moe, that was created in 2020 as a home for dispossessed imageboard communities from around the Internet. It has no affiliation with 8kun or that site’s owners, but offers features similar to the original 8chan such as user-created boards and volunteer-managed communities. The site adheres to free-speech principles, although with a much stronger emphasis on prohibiting illegal content than the original 8chan had. Popular boards include:
/v/ – Videogames /b/ – Random /hisrol/ – CYOA /vt/ – Vtuber General Discussion /digi/ – Net Hangout /t/ – Technology and computers /co/ – Comics and Cartoons /monarchy/, /liberty/, and /fascism/ – the political trifecta boards /hispachan/, /arepa/, /mex/, /ac/, and several other Spanish-language boards rescued from the collapse of Hispachan.org in 2022 Several boards for all the various types of artwork and hentai Niche fetish boards like /tkr/ – Tickling Refuge The #GamerGate archive – /gamergatehq/ and many, many, many more.
8chan.moe utilizes a powerful, dedicated server running Stephen Lynx’s LynxChan imageboard software, which the site staff have played an active role in developing features for since 2020. The site possesses the most advanced frontend of any website using LynxChan, and the staff have developed several other open-source tools and novel concepts around the site, including distributed administration, custom caching solutions, streaming sites, imageboard database importers and converters, Tor-based video hosting, Tor-network proxies, and custom-coded anti-spam and anti-DDoS protective measures for the benefit of all anons who post there.
The backup domain is located at 8chan.se. .cc is a third fallback. TOR access can be found here, or you can access the TOR portal from the clearnet at Redchannit 2.0

Founded by SaveTheInternet (STI), 4chon is the remnants of an imageboard community, now administered by HDV, that’s existed throughout various domains on the web. It is now an active single board image board. The site originated from 4chon.net where the tinyboard software came from (which is what vichan forked from and most board owners are using now). There is more history information at: wikibooks.org/wiki/4chan_Chronicle/4chon
Traffic Lag has been listed on here a while, but someone submitted some more information on the site.
