About wallhaven

Wallhaven is a site created by and for people who like wallpapers. What started as a replacement for the sadly defunct wallbase.cc has turned into one of the best wallpaper platforms on the net! We owe it all to our awesome community! You guys rock!

Wallbase's Fate

After a major update at the end of August 2013, Wallbase's admin Yotoon disappeared. The new version of the site was launched early and incomplete, with pages missing and no upload function. With limited staff tools and the only developer not around, things quickly started deteriorating. Eventually the forum was removed altogether.

Yotoon hadn't been on the IRC channel in months, was nowhere to be seen anywhere on the site, and his address was bouncing emails. He was spotted using a few sites, but didn't seem to want anything to do with Wallbase. Various conspiracy theories emerged, some people cried, and there was talk of adapting a political thriller starring Michael Fassbender.

A few months later, a few regulars decided Yotoon wasn't coming back anytime soon, and began planning a project former users could gather around. After discussing if there was a risk of angering Yotoon's ghost and if there's such a thing as too much porn, we rounded up some developers and had a basic site up before the end of the year.
