Welcome to Wikipe-chan.org
Wikipe-chan.org is a collaborative, ever-growing archive focused on preserving the history, humor, and chaos of internet culture.
From the raw HTML of the '90s to the fragmented platforms of today, we aim to document the digital underground—where memes are born, forums rise and fall, and online communities shape reality in surprising ways.
What is Internet Culture?
Internet culture isn't just cat pictures and viral videos — it's a living, evolving tapestry of:
- Anonymous imageboards, niche forums, and obscure BBS logs
- Meme evolution, copypasta origins, and greentext storytelling
- Lost media, forgotten fan pages, and digital archaeology
- Net aesthetics: vaporwave, web brutalism, Y2K design, ASCII art
- Flash games, .SWF animations, ARGs, and weird net experiments
What We Document
- Iconic and obscure web communities (e.g., 4chan, Something Awful)
- Internet drama, legends, hoaxes, and digital urban myths
- Subcultures like cybergoths, NEETs, hikikomori, e-girls/boys
- Tools and platforms that shaped the web (WinMX, mIRC, Xanga)
- Screenshots, archives, timelines, and deep lore
Why It Matters
As the web becomes sanitized and platforms centralize, the raw and messy creativity of early internet culture is at risk of being lost. Wikipe-chan.org exists to preserve that spirit — not just nostalgia, but digital history.
Want to Help?
We're a community-driven project. Anyone can contribute:
- Create new pages or expand stubs
- Fix formatting, add sources, or categorize entries
- Share artifacts or screenshots from your slice of the net
No wiki experience required — just a love for the weird web.

Featured Article
Cancer killing the internets!
Logposting refers to the series of memes on 4chan's /b/, speicifically the meme "Andy Sixx's logs of shit" which focuses on BVB lead singer Andy Biersack (previously known as Andy Sixx) and his feces. The meme is intended to mock fangirls' obsession with Andy Sixx. The phrases associated with the meme include: "Would you suck a log of shit out of Andy Sixx's asshole?" or "Would you?", "They're brown" and "It's slidding, baby!". Logposting first began in 2016 and since grew into its universe with many spin-offs memes being produced throughout its' history.
Famous quotes from the internet celebrities
For a lot of people, 4chan is their tree house - they go there to hang out. You can actually see the culture shift with time zone. Seeing how threads unwind and unravel is just a thrill, and you can't really share that magic.
