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.

Although both 8chan.moe and Looksm.ax both use blue colors for their ∞, there is a distinction in tone/shade in that 8chan.moe (aka "8moe") uses a lighter blue (relating to it's love of cute things like "moe" anime, or joking about clownworld) while Looksm.ax uses a darker more-serious blue, as appropriate for it's relation to the [[blackpill]] and the darker outlook on life. | Although both 8chan.moe and Looksm.ax both use blue colors for their ∞, there is a distinction in tone/shade in that 8chan.moe (aka "8moe") uses a lighter blue (relating to it's love of cute things like "moe" anime, or joking about clownworld) while Looksm.ax uses a darker more-serious blue, as appropriate for it's relation to the [[blackpill]] and the darker outlook on life. | ||

Serge explains, "It simply seemed like a natural progression for some incels, and there was a high demand for a looksmaxxing community where females looking for orbiters weren't allowed. I took a look at lookism and realized I could do far better. It's not perfect, but it's an improvement."<ref>https://incels.is/threads/for-zesto-fan-boys-lets-put-the-final-nail-in-the-coffin.91464/post-1768777</ref> | Serge explains, "It simply seemed like a natural progression for some incels, and there was a high demand for a looksmaxxing community where females looking for orbiters weren't allowed.

Looksmax has two types of members: Those who come from [[incels.co]], and those who directly discovered looksmax or come from [[PSL]] community. On September 10th, 2018, Stormlitaqua (original [[incels.co]] member) created a thread called " [JFL] Advice on finding a virgin girl?"<ref>https://looksmax.org/threads/advice-on-finding-a-virgin-girl.688/</ref>. New users began flooding the thread with non-blackpilled advice, and Stormlitaqua soon found himself discussing against the whole thread. Since then, looksmax.me isn't taken as a blackpilled website by the members of [[incels.co]] and additional clashes have occurred between members of both forums. | Looksmax has two types of members: Those who come from [[incels.co]], and those who directly discovered looksmax or come from [[PSL]] community.
