		+
		+	== History ==
		+
		+	8chan was created by [[Fredrick Brennan]] on October 22, 2013.<ref> 8chan (KYM) - [https://archive.is/RNXoY]</ref>
		+
		+	During September 22, 2014, Brennan tweeted an announcement that 8chan would be partnering with 2chan, thus becoming the Japanese imageboard's international division. This merger made 2chan to relocate to the Philippines in October 2014.<ref>8chan (Infogalactic) - [https://infogalactic.com/info/8chan]</ref><ref>8chan (infogalactic/archive)- [http://archive.fo/iybZB]</ref><ref> 8chan (infogalactic/wayback machine) - [https://web.archive.org/web/20180710003318/https://infogalactic.com/info/8chan]</ref>
		+
		+	==Role in GamerGate==
		+
		+	The site has served as a hub for [[GamerGate]] related discussion on it's /gg/, /gamergate/, and /gamergatehq/ boards since 2014.{{cn}} [[Fredrick Brennan]] (nicknamed "Hotwheels" by residents of 8chan) — the owner of the site — is also an outspoken GamerGate supporter who has defended the consumer revolt on places such as [[Mainstream Media Coverage#Huffington Post Live\|HuffPostLive]], [[The David Pakman Show]] and a debate organized by Al Jazeera America Tonight.<ref>[http://branch.com/b/gamergate-debate-video-games-free-speech-misogyny Al Jazeera America Tonight: GamerGate debate: Video games, free speech and misogyny]</ref>
		+
		+	In September 2014, Christopher Poole (aka Moot) posted an announcement explaining why all Gamergate threads were being removed from 4chan.org, claiming that the threads violate the site's global "no personal information/ raids / calls to invasion" rule. Many users flocked to 8chan as an alternative image board with fewer restrictions, began to mockingly refer to 4chan as "halfchan" and lamented the site's demise with the expression "4chan is kill."
		+	This censorship of the Gamergate discussions also happened on [[Reddit]], causing those interested in the topic forced to seek out new sites that aren't going to silenced them, eventually image macros have been posted on 4chan prompting users to migrate to a newer site, 8chan, and eventually it gained a steady user base.<ref> 8chan (Quinnspiracy Wiki) - [http://archive.is/V3GvL]</ref>
		+
		+
		+	According to the Trello [[CON]] leaks, [[Alex Lifschitz]] collaborated with with [[Zoe Quinn]] and others to get 8chan removed from [[Patreon]] and Gratipay, because of hosting child pornography (Which the Crash Override Network participants dump into the image board site). It was reveal that 8chan allows loli/shota because [[4chan]] does the same and that [[SJWs]] were spreading child porn to prove that it was there. Lastly, Zoe Quinn failed to take down 8chan, despite getting together with Patreon's higherups to craft a new Terms of Service which writes out 8chan (and other projects/people, she does not like), while leaving her and her friends in. Though Brennan (Hotwheels) repurposed his Patreon into a page to fund weekly YouTube videos of his cat, Hachi. <ref> CON Trello Leaks part 5 - [https://archive.is/Cr11K]</ref><ref> Pedo Gaffe: Did SJWs Post Child Porn While Trying to Ruin 8chan (The Ralph Retort) - [https://archive.is/geFz7]</ref><ref> Zoe Quinn's Attack on 8chan Falls Flat - [http://theralphretort.com/zoe-quinn-attack-8chan-falls-flat-122214/]</ref>

		+
		+	Sometime in August 4, 2019, Fredrick Brennan was trying his hardest to convince Jim Watkins, the current owner and United States Army veteran, to shut down the messageboard completely.

		+
		+	==Board Culture==
		+
		+	'''Anonymous'''
		+
		+	Like most imageboard sites, 8chan allows for anonymous posting and commenting. Allowing users to post fully anonymously lends the sites a jovial, risqué atmosphere of free thought and discussion that is found in few places on the modern Internet.
		+
		+	'''GGHQ'''
		+
		+	[http://8ch.net/gamergatehq #GamerGate HQ] is the current hub for GamerGate operations on 8chan. Their unofficial board mascot is Asuka Langley Sohryu, from Neon Genesis Evangelion fame. It is the main board on 8chan for Gamergate discussion, alongside the /v/ - Videogames board.<ref> Asuka Langley Sohryu - [http://evangelion.wikia.com/wiki/Asuka_Langley_Sohryu]</ref>
		+
		+	GGHQ was created to be a more heavily-moderated board than its predecessors, with a special emphasis on organizing and running GamerGate operations and information distribution. This was in contrast to the open "general discussion" format of the previous two Gamergate boards, which lead [[KotakuInAction]] to become the primary hub for general discussion, and 8chan became more about digging and operations.
