There are currently three imageboard software packages in widespread use: Futallaby,<ref name="Futallaby">[http://www.1chan.net/futallaby/ Futallaby image board script]</ref> Kusaba,<ref name="kusaba">{{cite web | url = http://code.google.com/p/kusaba/ | title = kusaba}}</ref> Wakaba.<ref name="Wakaba">[http://wakaba.c3.cx wakaba.c3.cx<]</ref>

[aFutallaby is a PHP script based on the Futaba script from [[Futaba Channel]]. Although Futallaby is still in use at 1chan,<ref>[http://www.1chan.net/ 1chan.net]</ref> and the Futallaby source is still freely available, it is no longer in development, and the download page recommends using Wakaba instead, stating that "Wakaba can do everything Futallaby does and so much more."<ref name="Futallaby"/> Futallaby started as a translation of Futaba, later retooled to support XHTML and customizable CSS styles. It is mostly notable for being the first English imageboard script.

Wakaba is written from the ground up in [[Perl]], and a SQL backend to store thread information. Wakaba is very strictly modelled after the Futaba and Futallaby scripts. Wakaba borrows some HTML codes and translated text from Futallaby. It is designed to be more efficient and cleanly written than other scripts that are available, while preserving the same kind of functionality. Wakaba scripts are in use at iichan. Wakaba is one of most popular western imageboard software scripts, used most notably by fchan<ref>[http://fchan.us/ fchan.us]</ref>, and Wakachan.<ref>[http://wakachan.org/ wakachan.org]</ref>

=== Krautchan ===

Krautchan.net is a german imageboard where people discuss topics like [[anime]] and local topics. The imageboard gained much popularity due to the [[Winnenden school shooting]]. The worldwide media claimed that [[Tim Kretschmer]] made a post (later determined to be a forgery) in which he announced his killings.
