The website was created after Brennan perceived rapidly escalating surveillance and a loss of free speech on the Internet. Shortly prior in the summer of 2013, Brennan had relocated from Atlantic City after receiving an offer to work as the lead programmer at a company that makes web-marketing projects for small businesses. Ĩchan was created in October 2013 by computer programmer Fredrick Brennan while living in Brooklyn, New York. As of November 2014, the site was the 2536th most visited site in the USA, receiving an average of 35,000 unique visitors per day and 400,000 posts per week.
One of the site's boards has played an active role during the Gamergate controversy after the topic was banned on the unaffiliated website 4chan, resulting in a migration of users. The only proviso is that all content posted must not violate United States law.
It allows any topic to be discussed, and all content to be posted, regardless of controversy. The site has received both praise and criticism from various parties for its stance on open free speech with minimal restrictions. An official Japanese-language variant is available by the name 8ch.
