When Wizardchan went offline in 2014,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20141113154558/https://wizardchan.org/</ref> some of its moderators created Wizchan, and some of its users created other websites with the same imageboard style as Wizardchan, such as MagicChan<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20190804172403/https://www.magicchan.org/</ref> or MerlinChan,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150902053041/http://www.merlinchan.com/</ref> to replace Wizardchan. To this day, only Wizchan remains.

Though still part of the [[incelosphere]], the forum is pretty hostile to incels who express that involuntariness. The forum was mainly defined by it's role in various e-drama like Gamergate, and therefore is more filled with culture-warriors and [[astroturfing|astroturfers]] rather than actual incels. This site owner is also hostile to incels, filtering all mention of the word [[incel]] to [[crab]]. | Though still part of the [[incelosphere]], the forum is pretty hostile to incels who express that involuntariness.
