Q originates from 4 chan and 8 chan. 8 chan has connections to Stormfront, eugenics, the White Nationals, Neo-Nazis and Pedophiles. This should not be on FR.

8chan (or infinitechan) is a message board in the style of various imageboards, such as 4chan.

The site claims to remove content only when it violates United States federal law, justifying this policy as the exercise of “free speech”. Launched in 2013, it gained prominence among Gamergate supporters in August 2014 when their fondness for doxxing got too much even for 4chan to put up with.

8chan was founded by Fredrick Brennan, nicknamed “Hotwheels” because he is a wheelchair user, due to severely disabling osteogenesis imperfectaWikipedia’s W.svg (brittle bone disease). In May 2016, Brennan stepped down from leading the site and passed it onto 2ch engineer Ron Watkins. Watkins will hopefully be cracking down on things Brennan did not — but we all know what happens when the mods go to sleep.

8chan began as an alternative to 4chan, proud shithole of the Internet. 8chan boasts having only strictly illegal content being removed, in order to protect its posters’ “freedom of speech”. The site allows content forbidden on 4chan, such as raiding boards and doxxing. 8chan’s policies on child porn can charitably be defined as “loose.” The site allows questionable porn such as lolicon,[note 1] and photographs of barely-clothed children in sexual poses.

8chan’s administrators have considered moving their hosting to PRQ.se,[2] a hosting service whose customers have included The Pirate Bay, WikiLeaks, and NAMBLA of all people.[3]

Brennan has also written for The Daily Stormer, the news site of Stormfront, in favour of eugenics, blaming the lack of a eugenics program in the US for his disability.[4] He says that when he contacted the Daily Stormer asking for an interview, they suggested he just write an article for them.[5] Defending his contribution on Reddit, Brennan insisted that he is not a neo-Nazi or a white nationalist — he merely considers the Stormer the right-wing equivalent of such “far-left” publications as The Huffington Post or The Daily Dot — although he does indeed support eugenics. He also stated that “building hype around my business is my job, especially when we are strapped for cash and can’t advertise directly”.[6] It is possible he does not realize that these are not the sort of Nazis that have boxes and boxes of gold.

Google delisted 8ch.net on 12 August 2015 due to “suspected child abuse content”.[7] Fans of 8chan blamed anyone except themselves.[8]

More recently, the archive.is website archiving service had blocked all links to 8chan due to an overwhelming amount of child pornography being contained within them. However, this was shortly reverted.[9]

There have been a few times when 8chan was reported to the FBI, but as of yet the FBI doesn’t list them as a potential threat.

Some aholes post on 4chan and 8chan. You are correct. So Q now has a separate forum that only he can post on, to avoid any other crap.

Not everyone who posts on 4 and 8chan are aholes.

There are aholes here, should FR be banned?
