Island Zero is a textboard created in April 2021, influenced by various image and textboards, including 4chan, channel4, 2ch, and Ylilauta.

Originally, the idea behind anonymous bulletin board systems was pioneered in Japan. Imageboards have gained much notoriety and popularity around the world over the years, however textboards have mostly been contained within the country. The goal of Island Zero is to create a thriving community of users, have fun, and promote thoughtful and provoking discussions.

Island Zero does not normally collect any information from the user, and once a thread has been pruned (404'd), all posts and IP addresses within are deleted in the database.

However, if a user is banned for any of the above reasons, their post and IP may be stored temporarily in order to cooperate with the proper authorities, or until the ban has been lifted. Sites such as Island Zero are founded upon the posts made from their users, thus the user is responsible for the information that they include in their posts.
