DC Inside (), also known as DC, is a South Korean internet forum that was founded in 1999. It is a prominent online platform in the country, allowing users to engage in discussions on a diverse range of subjects, such as entertainment, politics, and personal interests. The forum features user-generated content, including written posts, images, and videos, which are contributed by its active user base. DC Inside has established itself as a significant hub for online discussion in South Korea. Overview Initially established as a community of interest dedicated to digital cameras and photography in October 1999, it soon expanded continuously to the propagation of additional image boards. The vestige lies on the name (short for Digital Camera), and the fact that the term 'gallery' refers to each imageboards. History The website was primarily populated by early adopters of electronic devices, and was incorporated in 2000. As of 2006, it had 500 active boards, and Kim anticipated the count to multiply to over 1000 by the latter half of 2007. In 2009, it stopped providing information about Digital Camera since it has transformed to general imageboard website. In 2013, it departed from using the remodeled version of "Zeroboard", a popular Korean free-to-use script for bulletin board systems. Zeroboard was called to have security vulnerabilities and bandwidth issues hence many users expressed frustration in regards of the matter as early as from 2006. In 2015, own Wiki was created. In 2016, new reform contained user's availability to request a new imageboard subject. These imageboards, minor galleries, are separated from previous galleries. Gallery The early galleries were for uploading user-created camera pictures, which led to its rule to mandatorily upload images for each post. Such rule is bygone today. Gallery topics range from generic categories such as politics, science, wiki, sports and video games to particular subjects such as those committed to individual celebrities and K-pop stars. New galleries are created if new topic is acknowledged and deemed appropriate by the site administrator. Minor gallery New minor galleries are created upon user request. Request message should explain the gallery topic which should not be inappropriate, and should not overlap with existing galleries. Highly active minor galleries can be promoted into main galleries by administrators. In this case, administrators take the rights to manage the galleries. Administrator / Manager Galleries are controlled by site administrators, while minor galleries are controlled by dedicated user
