SomeBois is the founder and current administrator of 2swagg.
Founding
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
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"
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
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
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
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.
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.
