Little Bit of History for 8chan and Q
For review and comment ANONS, and yes I'm considering the source material as BS, so, remain in your Shillatorium and practice your CAPTCHA…kek
8chan was created in October 2013 by computer programmer Fredrick Brennan,[4][5] better known by his alias "Hotwheels".[6] Brennan created the website after he observed what he perceived to be rapidly escalating surveillance and a loss of free speech on the Internet.[4] Brennan, who considers the imageboard 4chan to have grown into authoritarianism, describes 8chan as a "free-speech-friendly" alternative,[4] and originally conceptualized the site while experiencing a psychedelic mushrooms trip.[6][7]
No experience or programming knowledge is necessary for users to create their own boards.[3] Since as early as March 2014, its FAQ has stated only one rule that is to be globally enforced: "Do not post, request, or link to any content illegal in the United States of America. Do not create boards with the sole purpose of posting or spreading such content."[3] Brennan has claimed that, while he finds some of the content posted by users to be "reprehensible," he feels personally obligated to uphold the site's integrity by tolerating discussion he does not necessarily support regardless of his moral stance.[4]
Brennan agreed to partner 8chan with the Japanese message board 2channel,[6] and subsequently relocated to the Philippines in October 2014.[8]
In January 2015, the site changed its domain 8chan.co to 8ch.net after multiple people filed reports complaining to 8chan's registrar that the message board hosted child pornography. Despite subsequently regaining the domain, the site remained at 8ch.net, with the old domain redirecting to it.[7]
Numerous bugs in the Infinity software led to the funding and development of a successor platform dubbed "Infinity Next". After a several-month-long testing period, a migration to the new software was attempted in December 2015, but failed.[9][clarification needed] In January 2016, development was halted, and the main developer, Joshua Moon, was fired by Brennan.[10] Brennan himself officially resigned in July 2016, turning the site over to its owner, Jim Watkins and his son, Ron.[11] He cited the failure of the "Infinity Next" project and disillusionment with what 8chan had become as reasons.[11]
On February 25, 2019, THQ Nordic hosted an AMA (ask me anything) thread on the video games board of the website, /v/. One developer noted that the company had pitched an idea for a Splatoon-like game featured in the De Blob universe with speculation for a future release.[12]
QAnon[a] (/kjuːəˈnɒn/) is a far-right conspiracy theory[7] detailing a supposed secret plot by an alleged "deep state" against U.S. President Donald Trump and his supporters.[8] The theory began with an October 2017 post on the anonymous imageboard 4chan by someone using the tripcode Q, a presumably American[9] individual that may have later grown to include multiple individuals,[10][11][12] claiming to have access to classified information involving the Trump administration and its opponents in the United States. The user has falsely accused numerous liberal Hollywood actors, politicians, and high-ranking officials of engaging in an international child sex trafficking ring, and has claimed that Donald Trump feigned collusion with Russians in order to enlist Robert Mueller to join him in exposing the ring, and preventing a coup d'état by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and George Soros.[13][14][15] "Q" is a reference to the top-secret Q clearance.
The conspiracy theory, mainly popularized by supporters of President Trump under the names The Storm and The Great Awakening, has been widely characterized as "baseless",[16][17][18] "unhinged"[19] and "evidence-free".[20] Its proponents have been called "a deranged conspiracy cult"[21] and "some of the Internet's most outré Trump fans".[22]
QAnon adherents began appearing at Trump rallies during the summer of 2018.[23] TV and radio personality Michael "Lionel" Lebron, a promoter of the theory, was granted a photo opportunity with President Trump in the Oval Office on August 24, 2018.[24]
