The Chanosphere is a term meant to encompass all more or less anonymous imageboard websites, starting with 2channel. The Soysphere is considered to be a subsection of the Chanosphere. It is an immense rabbit hole, and reliable information regarding the Chanosphere is sparse and sometimes contradictory. Here are some very helpful websites that document Csph. culture and events:
- This very website. Especially when it comes to Soysphere splinters or, occasionally, SNCA *chans.
- Encyclopedia Dramatica. This was the go-to website back in the day when *chan users wanted to record their history - it is more strict against SNCA imageboards or namefags however. (You) cannot make an account unless you contact their staff. Due to its constant correlation with the *chans, it is considered by some to be part of the chanosphere, at least honorarily.
- Soyjak Wiki. Despite their censorship campaigns, their "Happenings" page can come in very handy when it comes to learning about soyjak.party history.
- Nameless Rumia's personal wiki. Has excellent articles on various BBS websites, especially on obscure ones. It is also full of citations.
- Bibliotheca Anonoma. By far the most useful source. Contains information not only about the chanosphere, but also about many other websites, such as Something Awful. Its role is to preserve Internet folk life.
The Chanosphere is currently in a dire state due to failtrolls constantly spamming CP, an increasingly dull PPH on all websites and due to a general loss of interest for imageboards (also caused by the generational shift from millennials to gen Z). The negative reception it receives from the outside internet (especially from (((Wikipedia))) and (((YouTube)))) does not make the situation any better.
Nothing lasts forever. We're living in the downfall era of imageboards.
