Previous Quote | Next Quote
SomeBois is the founder and current administrator of 2swagg. The FAQ names them as "the Current Administrator and founder of 2swagg,"
Founding
SomeBois started 2swagg because they felt existing imageboards mostly fell into two camps: older anime-heavy "oldfag" boards and soyjak.party splinter boards. In their view, imageboard culture had gotten stale, with people "laughing at the same things for five years," while moderation on existing sites was inconsistent. Their conclusion was basically that they could run one better themselves.
The name came from Mecka, who coined "2swagg" after the group wanted something "with swag."
Launch date
2swagg went live on 13 August 2026. It was originally planned for the 10th, but SomeBois slept through it; 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"
According to SomeBois, the footer text was added by Taro and there is no registered company behind it. They have mentioned possibly forming a Phoenix LLC if 2swagg Pass ever starts making money, but for now it is just footer text. See Contact and legal.
The build
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 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.
Taro has told basically the same story, saying most of the time was wasted fighting Yotsuba, while the actual site only took around a month to build once they switched engines.
Role and moderation
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.
Most of the actual moderation is less interesting. SomeBois has described it as mostly deleting CSAM, cleaning up raids, dealing with spam, and arguing with people causing problems. /r/ exists partly as a honeypot for that kind of traffic. They have also said they hate doing moderation and won't say how many mods the site has.
Money and the Pass
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. SomeBois's answer is that it's optional and basically just a donation with a small perk, and they have 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.
Outlook
SomeBois keeps their real location private, which fits with the site's general opsec obsession.
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.
Voice and announcements
(Full list on Site history)
- Launch Post - "WELCOME TO 2SWAGG!!!", thanking Yushe, Taro, and Princess
- 15 August 2026 Post - "that wasnt me or my mod team, just an overzealous group of users. (dont make me... ;_;)" referencing the adverts done by /war/
- SomeBois Guide for New Users on the rules page
In site art
SomeBois is represented by a small white cat in a red shirt, usually lettered "SOMEBOIS". SomeBois confirms the character is simply "the admin". Notably, the drawing "A GIFT FROM 2SWAGG TO JAPAN" (13 August 2026), pairs him with Swaggtan. See Site history.
Trivia
- "Swaggbois", a handle sometimes seen on the boards, is not an alias of SomeBois; doe it is a Swaggtan variant
- SomeBois says they sometimes see a homepage tagline they do not remember writing or adding.
