This is the page documenting the history of the anime board on 4chan
2003[edit]
November 8 - Two more imageboards are added: /a/ (Anime) and /l/ (Lolikon), because /c/ was flooded with NSFW images. moot announces the future release of a database of archived 4chan threads that requires a paid subscription, which had been suggested by Spork, a mod, a week before. By this time /b/ lost the anime/random subtitle and became just a random board.

- May 1 - /a/'s favorite BitTorrent tracker for anime, Nyaa, goes down permanently. Nobody, not even the site's staff, is sure why. /a/ suffers a shitstorm as many newfags are left in the dust as to how to obtain their shows.
- May 3 - In an effort to revive or mirror Nyaa as good as possible, anons from both /g/ and /a/ come together and recreate a working mirror of the site.
