This is similar to what [[8chan.net]] used to use, which was also a horizontal green open-sideways-8 in the Euler style. Thus the slang "infinitechan". The only difference was that it was slightly slanted diagonally, with the right O being elevated to sit atop the "chan". Another difference is the gap has snake-like mouths, similar to the ouroboros except with two heads instead of a head and a tail. | This is similar to what [[8chan.net]] used to use, which was also a horizontal green open-sideways-8 in the Euler style.

8chan's focus on a snake (a long animal) might be related to 4chan's classic fascination with another long animal: the feline mascot "LongCat" | |||
8chan also has the nickname "fullchan" which is derived from the nickname "halfchan" being ascribed to [[4chan]]. Fourchan preceded Eightchan, but due to mass censorship over [[gamergate]] and other issues many of the members left. The idea being to imply than 8ch was at least twice as good as 4ch due to the greater freedom of speech, as well as other benefits like higher image posting (5 instead of 1 per post) and more variety of file uploading (you could upload videos instead of pictures) and more board variety (users could actually create their own boards, they're not limited to predetermined board names and subjects like 4chan). | 8chan also has the nickname "fullchan" which is derived from the nickname "halfchan" being ascribed to [[4chan]].

As of the shift to [[8kun]] at [[8kun.top]] the owners moved away from the green horizontal loops to a vertical yellow 8 incorporating a snake swallowing it's own tail. This was a shift closer towards the classic ouroborous symbol. but the 90-degrees rotation represented the massive shift that happened in chan>kun including the banning of /pol/ and it's replacement with /pnd/ | As of the shift to [[8kun]] at [[8kun.top]] the owners moved away from the green horizontal loops to a vertical yellow 8 incorporating a snake swallowing it's own tail.
