{{examples|[[Notable]] Imageboards (''every'' link below should be considered NSFW unless specifically mentioned otherwise):}}
* While not an imageboard itself, [https://www.allchans.org/ All Chans (aka The Overchan V.3] maintains an (as up-to-date as humanly possible) list of every English-language imageboard in existence (including furry imageboards and text-based 2ch-esque boards), as well as some non-English boards. It's also the closest thing to a worksafe link from this point forward.
* The aforementioned [http://www.2chan.net/ Futaba Channel].

** More recently, posting on the Netjester board has become a popular pastime.
* [http://fchan.us Fchan], which is the most well-known [[Furry Fandom|furry]] (primarily [[Yiff|pornographic]]) imageboard out there; although assumed to be created as a response to 4chan's infamous "April Fur's Day" prank, it was actually in existence for a while prior to it (and was created as a result of 5chan -- which hosted a couple of furry-based boards -- dying). The site set something of a standard for future furry imageboards by segregating content into different boards (one for female-only art, one for male-only art, and so on); it also marked the beginning of the term "DNP" ("Do Not Post") in the [[Furry Fandom]], due to the list of artists who asked that their work not be posted on the site. Fchan's heavyhanded moderation and large DNP list led to several furry imageboards coming into existence to counteract Fchan's perceived stupidity, the most notable of which are:
** [http://lulz.net Lulz.net], which is sometimes referred to just as /furi/ after the site's main board; it is ''pretty much always '''EXTREMELYextremely''' [[NSFW]]''', and not always because of furry porn -- and not always because of ''porn''. Many of the board's threads are about gore pictures, grossout images, trolling, and extremely vitriolic politics. There's also more furry-hate on the site than /b/ and Something Awful ''combined''. Even the board's regulars will often admit that the site is basically "/b/, but with less furry porn".
*** If you go in without Adblock prepared beforehand, it's also a great stress test for your antivirus application of choice.
** [http://tgfb.net/ The Goddamned Furry Board], run by former Fchan admin Sage [[Memetic Mutation|"Goddammit"]] Freehaven.
