Soyjak.party, also known as the Sharty^[1] or the 'party,^[2] is an anonymous English-language imageboard website primarily dedicated to the creating and posting of soyjaks. Launched by pseudonymous 4chan user "Soot" on September 20th, 2020, the site hosts boards dedicated to a wide variety of topics, including video games, television, anime, sport, technology, politics and art, among others.

Soyjak.party was created as an offshoot of the Question and Answers (/qa/) board on 4chan, and was initially "intended to be a joke", according to the founder, Soot.^[3] The website noticeably grew in popularity in late 2021, after 4chan closed its /qa/ board, which, despite its name (Questions and Answers), served as the de facto home of the 4chan soyjak community.^[4]

Soyjak.party has often been the subject of controversy, including being linked to the 2025 Antioch High School shooting, and the 2025 4chan hack.^[5] Due to the explicit nature of the site, it has been described as a "far-right reactionary imageboard filled with crude racist and antisemitic humor" by the Anti-Defamation League.^[6]

The majority of posting on Soyjak.party takes place on its many boards, such as /soy/, /qa/, /pol/ and /raid/.^[7] on which users have the ability to share media and create threaded discussions.^[8]As of November 2025, the site's homepage lists 21 boards. The site includes a global ruleset, in addition to rulesets based on the topics of each individual board.^[9]

There are a variety additional sites and services owned, advertised or endorsed by the administration of Soyjak.party.

The site was launched as soyjak.party on September 20, 2020, by pseudonymous 4chan user, Soot. He created a post advertising the new imageboard, saying:

basedjak.party
basedjaks must be in every thread^[11][a]

The site was an offshoot of the /qa/ board on 4chan, launching with only 7 boards initially. The site's popularity greatly increased near the end of 2021 as a result of the closure of the /qa/ board on 4chan.^[4] The site was later sold on July 16, 2022 to a pseudonymous soyjak.party user, "Kuz" for $2,000, with the reason for its sale being attributed to the sites lack of monetization. Kuz claims to be a Russian businessman, born in 1988. He created "KolymaNET", a now-dissolved network of imageboards. Members of the site leaked his IP address, and found it to be based in Tennessee. Some members of soyjak.party claim he was lying about his identity, and believe he is an American named Carter.^[12]

After April 2023, Kuz resigned. He transferred ownership to a user named Doll (Stylised as DOLL). He bought the imageboard, the booru and the wiki for under $11,000. In his time as admin, he attempted to ban pedo rings, reverse Kuz-era changes and crack down on posts on the main board, /soy/, that didn't have soyjaks in them.^[12]

Doll would eventually get exhausted of fighting CSAM spam and the cost to run the site, so he resigned and gave the ownership to a user, "Froot".^[12]

On November 21st, 2024, the site's domain changed from soyjak.party to soyjak.st.^{[citation needed]}

Throughout the site's history, users on Soyjak.party have developed a distinct culture of inside-jokes and alternative forms of written communication, differentiating itself from other websites of the same type.

At the forefront of this is what users of the site refer to as Soyspeak, which is a loose set of informal linguistic and social guidelines for those participating in the community. This includes unique apostrophising conventions - removing the first syllable or letter of certain words and replacing them with apostrophes. Additionally, The site has grown to use its own slang terms, including "marge" to express confusion, "gem" and "gemerald" to describe posts/content considered good, and "coal" and "brimstone" to describe posts/content considered bad.^[13]

Throughout the site's history, Soyjak.party has been the subject of numerous controversies including general internet raids, alleged links to mass-shooters, and website hacking incidents.

In the aftermath of the 2025 Antioch High School shooting, investigators uncovered a virtual diary written by the assailant, Solomon Henderson. Included in this diary were references to Soyjak.party, with Solomon admitting himself to be a frequent user of the site. Due to this, the Anti-Defamation League made references to Soyjak.party in an article about the assailant, describing it as "a far-right reactionary imageboard filled with crude racist and antisemitic humor."^[6][14]

On April 14, 2025 4chan was hacked by an anonymous user with the hack being announced on Soyjak.party.^[15] Source code and user logins of those who registered with emails were acquired by the user and leaked online, as well as the deprecated /qa/ board being restored.^[16] Among the information leaked about users included the full identity of site staff members and moderators. On Soyjak.party the hacker created a thread in which he documented the attack, alleging, among other things, that he had "admin" level access, the site hadn't been updated since 2016, and that he had obtained the identities of numerous admins.^[17] A user of Soyjak.party claimed that the hacker had had access to 4chan's systems for over a year.^[1]
