'''SomeBois''' is the founder and administrator of [[2swagg]]. The FAQ names them as "the Current Administrator and founder of 2swagg," and every changelog and announcement post on the site is signed by this handle, so most of what the public knows about how the site is run comes through SomeBois. SomeBois keeps their location private, joking in one interview about broadcasting from "OpSec City".

'''SomeBois''' is the founder and current administrator of [[2swagg]].


== Founding ==
== Founding ==
SomeBois started 2swagg wanting a board that fit neither of what they saw as the two dominant kinds of imageboard: the older, anime-focused "oldfag" sites on one side, and the [[Rivalries|soyjak.party splinter boards]] on the other. Their view is that imageboard culture had stopped producing anything new, that people had been "laughing at the same things for five years," and that the moderation on existing sites was unreliable. SomeBois figured they could run a site better and fill the gap.
SomeBois started 2swagg because he felt existing imageboards mostly fell into two camps: older [[Tranime|anime]]-heavy [[4chan|"oldfag" boards]] and [[Rivalries|soyjak.party splinter boards]]. In his view, imageboard culture had gotten stale, with people "laughing at the same things for five years," while moderation on existing sites was inconsistent. His conclusion was basically that [[Gigachad|they could run one better themselves.]]


The name came from '''Mecka''', who coined "2swagg"; the group wanted something "with swag," and 2swagg was it.
The name "2swagg" was coined by [[Goldmasterp|gold_master'P]].


=== Launch date ===
=== Launch date ===
SomeBois has settled it: 2swagg went live on '''13 August 2026'''. The plan had been the 10th, but SomeBois slept through it; the retry on the 12th ran so late that the sun was coming up and the date had already rolled over to the 13th, which is when the first posts were made. SomeBois has said they will change the FAQ and anywhere else still showing 8/10 to match. See [[Site history#Founding date]].
[[2swagg]] went live on '''13 August 2026''' although it was originally planned for the 10th; another attempt on the 12th ran past midnight, so the first posts landed on the 13th. SomeBois has said older references to 8/10 will be corrected. See [[Site history#Founding date]].


=== "2swagg community support LLC" ===
=== "2swagg community support LLC" ===
The footer line was added by [[Taro]], not SomeBois. It is '''not''' a registered company. SomeBois has floated actually registering one (noting that a Phoenix LLC is free to file with no annual fee), possibly if [[2swagg Pass]] ever brings in money, but as of now it is just text in the footer. See [[Contact and legal]].
According to SomeBois, the footer text was added by [[Taro]] and there is '''no registered company''' behind it. He has mentioned possibly forming one if [[2swagg Pass]] ever starts making money althobeit, but for now it is just footer text. See [[Contact and legal]].


== The build ==
== The build ==
The site was first set up on the leaked original 4chan engine (Yotsuba). SomeBois calls it the hardest engine to set up he has ever dealt with: a 20-year-old base with two decades of code layered on top of it, to the point that one small break takes down the whole engine. The team spent close to '''100 days''' trying to get Yotsuba working before SomeBois gave up and asked [[Yushe]] for the engine Yushe had written (which SomeBois calls the "3chan engine"). Yushe agreed after some convincing, spent a few weeks polishing it, and sent it over; SomeBois then had the site live roughly a month later.
2swagg was originally going to run on the leaked 4chan engine, Yotsuba. According to SomeBois, this went horribly. The codebase was old, messy, and easy to break, and they spent close to <s>a [[The Swaggllenium|swaggllenium]]</s> 100 days trying to get it working properly.


That timeline reconciles the two figures the wiki had: about 100 days fighting Yotsuba plus roughly a month building on Yushe's engine is the ~150 days SomeBois estimates for the whole project, while [[Taro]]'s "about a month before launch" is the final stretch on the working engine. On Yushe's engine, per SomeBois, a break stays contained to the one thing that broke.
Eventually they gave up and asked [[Yushe]] for their own imageboard engine, usually called the "3chan engine" by SomeBois. Yushe spent a few weeks getting it ready and sent it over. About a month later, 2swagg was up.
 
Many hours and [[Taro]] resources were spent on the implementation of Yotsuba, while the actual site only took around a month to build once they switched engines.


== Role and moderation ==

SomeBois holds both the '''Founder''' and '''Admin''' [[Capcodes|capcodes]]. Board launches, the [[textboards]] rollout, [[2swagg Pass]], and the forced-anonymous switch on [[/raid/]] were all announced by them.
SomeBois uses both the '''Founder''' and '''Admin''' [[Capcodes|capcodes]], and usually handles the bigger site changes and announcements, including new boards, [[textboards]], [[2swagg Pass]], and making [[/raid/]] anonymous-only.


The day-to-day, in SomeBois's description, is a loop: wake up, delete CSAM, delete a raid, delete more CSAM, deal with someone "talking bullshit", repeat. CSAM-spam bots and raids are constant. SomeBois calls it a horrible job and does not track hours or give a mod headcount.
SomeBois has described moderation work as mostly deleting 'p, cleaning up raids, dealing with spam, and arguing with [[Markus Party|people causing problems]]. [[/r/]] exists partly as a honeypot for that kind of traffic. He has said he hates doing moderation and won't say how many mods the site has.


== Money ==
== Money and the Pass ==
As of a mid-interview in the site's first two weeks, '''nobody had bought a [[2swagg Pass]]''', and SomeBois was down around $50 on hosting and domains. 2swagg is a hobby that SomeBois funds out of pocket. SomeBois has said the "Pass" is really just a donation with a cosmetic perk, and has floated relabelling it as one, especially since the CAPTCHA it was meant to bypass has since been turned off site-wide.
According to SomeBois, nobody bought a [[2swagg Pass]] during the site's first two weeks, leaving them about $50 down on hosting and domains. The site is mostly paid for [[The M.S.S.F|out of pocket.]]


== Growth ==
[[2swagg Pass|The Pass]] has gotten some shit from other imageboards ([[4chon|although]] [[4chan|it's]] [[Soyjak.party|been]] [[Chud.win|done]] before). SomeBois's answer is that it's optional and basically just a donation with a small perk, and he's considered just calling it a donation instead. The CAPTCHA it originally bypassed was removed for a while, but came back after the site got '''[[Swinny Giggerbot Incident|cattywiped]]'''. The Pass still mostly exists as a donation perk.
SomeBois is candid that growth comes from raids and from advertising 2swagg on other imageboards, and that a lot of the userbase has come over from soyjak.party splinters. The stated goal is for 2swagg to become "one of the biggest" imageboards within a year; SomeBois says they believe that will happen.


"Swaggbois", a handle sometimes seen on the boards, is '''not''' an alias of SomeBois; per SomeBois it is just a [[Nameroll|nameroll]] name.
== Outlook ==
As for where 2swagg is going, SomeBois wants it to become one of the biggest imageboards within the next few months to a year. Most of its growth so far has come from raids, advertising on other imageboards, and users coming over from [[soyjak.party]] splinters.

SomeBois is the founder and current administrator of 2swagg.

Founding[edit | edit source]

SomeBois started 2swagg because he felt existing imageboards mostly fell into two camps: older anime-heavy "oldfag" boards and soyjak.party splinter boards. In his view, imageboard culture had gotten stale, with people "laughing at the same things for five years," while moderation on existing sites was inconsistent. His conclusion was basically that they could run one better themselves.

The name "2swagg" was coined by gold_master'P.

Launch date[edit | edit source]

2swagg went live on 13 August 2026 although it was originally planned for the 10th; another attempt on the 12th ran past midnight, so the first posts landed on the 13th. SomeBois has said older references to 8/10 will be corrected. See Site history#Founding date.

"2swagg community support LLC"[edit | edit source]

According to SomeBois, the footer text was added by Taro and there is no registered company behind it. He has mentioned possibly forming one if 2swagg Pass ever starts making money althobeit, but for now it is just footer text. See Contact and legal.

The build[edit | edit source]

2swagg was originally going to run on the leaked 4chan engine, Yotsuba. According to SomeBois, this went horribly. The codebase was old, messy, and easy to break, and they spent close to a swaggllenium 100 days trying to get it working properly.

Eventually they gave up and asked Yushe for their own imageboard engine, usually called the "3chan engine" by SomeBois. Yushe spent a few weeks getting it ready and sent it over. About a month later, 2swagg was up.

Many hours and Taro resources were spent on the implementation of Yotsuba, while the actual site only took around a month to build once they switched engines.

Role and moderation[edit | edit source]

SomeBois uses both the Founder and Admin capcodes, and usually handles the bigger site changes and announcements, including new boards, textboards, 2swagg Pass, and making /raid/ anonymous-only.

SomeBois has described moderation work as mostly deleting 'p, cleaning up raids, dealing with spam, and arguing with people causing problems. /r/ exists partly as a honeypot for that kind of traffic. He has said he hates doing moderation and won't say how many mods the site has.

Money and the Pass[edit | edit source]

According to SomeBois, nobody bought a 2swagg Pass during the site's first two weeks, leaving them about $50 down on hosting and domains. The site is mostly paid for out of pocket.

The Pass has gotten some shit from other imageboards (although it's been done before). SomeBois's answer is that it's optional and basically just a donation with a small perk, and he's considered just calling it a donation instead. The CAPTCHA it originally bypassed was removed for a while, but came back after the site got cattywiped. The Pass still mostly exists as a donation perk.
