8chan or currently known as 8kun.top/8ch.moe was a popular imageboard subject to multiple controversies on the internet over the years, most known of these was GamerGate. The website began as a small project by Fredrick Brennan on October 22, 2013. His main goals with the infinity project was to create a free-speech platform where anyone could create their own self-moderated boards without fear of censorship. The project is now ran by Jim Watkins.

Controversies

"BUT CP IS FREEZE PEACH" as the pedophile cries about his board being banned.

Pedophile boards

Under Fredrick's ownership, multiple pedophilia orientated boards (namely /hebe/) were allowed to exist, which often featured posts of half-nude children and pedophile activism; Fredrick stated that these boards were allowed to exist while citing the First Amendment, even to the expressed outrage of the community. These boards were eventually removed and banned by Jim Watkins after gaining ownership in 2016.

Infinity Next

Infinity Next was an attempt to overhaul the existing imageboard software of 8chan with a more up to date version, it ended up to be a complete failure and an abandoned project. The idea of an overhaul was a well received by the general community on 8chan at first, however after the beta version of the Infinity next project was launched it was riddled with bugs, slow load times and was generally broken. One of the largest controversies from this project was an exploit where anyone could see the IPs of people who viewed a thread or made a post/thread. Shortly after, the project team fell into disillusionment after being unable to resolve large issues with the project; Jewshua Troon, the lead developer was removed from the project in January 2016.
