'''Sidechan''' is a image board replacement for [[Lulz.net]]. Its existence was brought about after [[Arcturus]] and [[cho0b]] had a disagreement concerning the former board.

==Policies and content==

With the exception of the new name, logo, ownership change, and front page disclaimer, Sidechan is virtually identical in both policies and content to Lulz, preferring a hands-off self-regulated feel, with as little moderator action as possible. This is in contrast with [[Fchan]]. which employs a heavy protection of the [[Do Not Post]] list and anti-trolling protection.

==Downsy==

Downsy the Girratalope (a Giraffe-Rat-Jackalope crossbreed) is the mascot of Sidechan. He was created by Mellis so that Sidechan could have something on the splash page (and to poke fun at [[FurAffinity]] mascot Fender). Downsy now stars in his very own comic, [http://downsy.sidechan.net The Adventures of Downsy].

==Controversy==

In order to circumvent the US [[Wikipedia:Copyright|copyright laws]], Sidechan.net was relocated overseas to a German hosting service.[http://whois.domaintools.com/sidechan.net][http://whois.domaintools.com/88.198.215.219] This, however, results in Sidechan violating German law, which does not allow access to pornographic/indecent material without proper age verification.

84.139.184.200: /* Question to Mellis (Administrator, Sidechan) */

[[Sage Freehaven]], Rann, Roland, and Kindrift was a trolls that posted ugly stuff. --[[User:Andres Chung, Jr.|Dragon-morph]] 00:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
* Awww, did somebody get butthurt when we didn't kiss your ass over you posting your art (which, admittedly, isn't even all that good)? --[[User:Sage Freehaven|Sage Freehaven]] 06:52, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
** Everybody knows your a troll in this web. --[[User:Andres Chung, Jr.|Dragon-morph]] 14:36, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
*** Prove it. >:3 --[[User:Sage Freehaven|Sage Freehaven]] 05:38, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

This is NOT a discussion board or forum for these kinds of topics. You are currently in an article's "discussion" page, so, please take this conversation to eMail. First warning [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 06:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

== Question to Mellis (Administrator, Sidechan) ==

If asked properly, has any artist's art or media being removed from the image-board?,... And since I'm asking a sensible Sidechan Admin, is the server now hosted in Germany (Response not required, if you wish, just trying to confirm the added data about it.) Thanks [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 08:56, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
* I handle e-mailed requests from users and, if they ask very nicely, and have actual valid reasons, then it can happen. And yes, it is hosted in germany. (A simple lookup of the IP via ARIN or RIPE would've yielded that information.) [[User:Arcturus|Arcturus]] 14:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
** Which is quite irrelevant as it is nowhere to be found in your ToC. --[[User:84.139.184.200|84.139.184.200]] 14:40, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

==Policies and content==

With the exception of the new name, logo, ownership change, and front page disclaimer, Sidechan is virtually identical in both policies and content to Lulz, preferring a hands-off self-regulated feel, with as little moderator action as possible. This is in contrast with [[Fchan]]. which employs a heavy protection of the [[Do Not Post]] list and anti-trolling protection.

A difference to Lulz exists though. Lulz allowed artists to do respectful takedown requests of their art, which is a possibility that is not given Sidechan.

==Downsy==

Downsy the Girratalope (a Giraffe-Rat-Jackalope crossbreed) is the mascot of Sidechan. He was created by Mellis so that Sidechan could have something on the splash page (and to poke fun at [[FurAffinity]] mascot Fender). Downsy now stars in his very own comic, [http://downsy.sidechan.net The Adventures of Downsy].

84.139.184.200: /* Policies and content */ wtfur/lulz did in fact honour take-down requests, the mods themselves posted that quite often on dis everytime the topic "copyright" came up
