420chan was an anonymous imageboard founded on 20 April 2005 by hacker and freelance web developer Aubrey Cottle. According to its founder, its name was a portmanteau of 420, a slang word originating in cannabis culture but now applicable to drug culture more generally, and 4chan, another imageboard website. Discussion on the site was primarily focused around recreational drug use and wrestling, with other boards related to topics including humour and academia. While in its early history it was primarily known for hosting a board known as /i/, then used by the hacker collective Anonymous to stage "invasions" against individuals and web platforms such as Habbo Hotel, and Hal Turner. The modern incarnation of the website was primarily known for hosting discussions about psychoactive drugs legal and illegal. The site was also known for its LGBT discussion boards, /cd/ and /sd/, as well as the wrestling board, /wooo/. As of 1 June 2022, 420chan's main URL, 420chan.org, went offline. On 20 April 2023, the domain was sold to Fredrick Brennan for $4,200 in Ethereum, and a temporary landing page went up.
