As the community on /fur/ grew and developed its own alias, the Aurorafurries, a Xat chat room was created by Serpentor (a moderator on /fur/) to better co-ordinate raids. The /fur/ board was used to co-ordinate raids on /b/ so fellow furries were drawn to AuroraChan's /fur/ from /b/ raids.
In early 2006 a community formed around the newly created /fur/ board on AuroraChan of furries drifting over from 4Chan's /b/. The U-18Chan community came from an older community of the Aurorafurries which came from AuroraChan in 2006. U-18Chan was born like many *Chan websites from the first English speaking Imageboard 4Chan and has used Kusaba X in the past to run the site. Our staff all have their own perspective of these types of things. U-18Chan is not based on any political or moral basis. As stated in our FAQ section the 'pawstika' seen around the site is the adopted symbol of the Aurorafurries, the group who created this site. While our name does come from a German U-boat from WWI. In light of recent events I thought it would be worth stating that here at U-18Chan we do not condone Nazi ideology nor is our goal to spread the hatred and prejudice associated.
