Most likely it's rather simple spaghetti code interwoven with lumps of cancer for stuff like checking attached pictures and gold pass money handling.

The source was leaked a couple years back. 2010-2011-ish. It's floating around somewhere out there.

A chan is pretty simple to make. PHP is a pretty typical language to use for making one, as with 4chan, but you can find ones written in everything from shell scripts to C.

Having made one, it can be a fun project and you can probably whip up a minimalish chan quickly with only basic programming + web (or other Internet medium) knowledge.

a chan site is basically a forum site with no authentication, cookies, logins.
All threads are replies to a parent post and the index is a list of parent threads sorted by the last time they were bumped.

Didn't it get a major rewrite to upgrade it to HTML5? I forget what year that was though and only remember stuff was broken for about a week and it fucked up 4chanx every few days as they kept changing stuff with the fixes.

it's as easy as

$ npm init
$ npm install @ng-chan/4 --save
$ node app.js
