 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.
