Yeah, I'm aware. The problem stems from the fact that you can't type the unambiguous name "ni-channeru" without looking like an insufferable dork/weeaboo. 2ch and 2chan (.net) are the domain names of "ni-channeru" and Futaba Channel, respectively, but it's obviously very confusing to refer to them by their domains. Therefore, in English discussion, we tend to say 2chan or 2channel when we mean "ni-channeru", and Futaba when we mean Futaba Channel.
