Is 4chan a website?

The article says it's a board. But back in the day there were bulletin boards, and its name is chan and there are IRC channels... so I came here to find out what it is, and the article should say what it is.

If you can access online content in a web browser, over HTTP, with an Ethernet connection, then it's emphatically a website. So, yes.

Now what the fuck do you want?

Image board.
It's named 4chan as reference to Japan's famous 2chan image board, which m00t emulated.

As for why 2chan has chan in the name, I honestly don't know, but wiki says:
>The name "2channel" is allegedly a reference to VHF channel 2, the default setting for the RF modulators used in earlier-generation game consoles (such as Nintendo's Family Computer) when connecting to Japanese television sets.

In the States it was VHF channels 3 or 4, so that also makes sense. Didn't it start off as just /a/, making the site and board synonymous then?
