Hispachan
Hispachan was a Spanish-language bulletin board which was founded by “Zeta” on November 17, 2012, then he stepped down1) and the website proceeded to shut down on May 31, 2022.2) Despite their size and notoriety, it wasn't exactly respected by the anonymous Hispanic community.
History
On November 6, 2012, “Zeta” purchases the “hispachan.org” domain3) and implements a countdown to their inauguration on November 17, 2012, starting with a single “General” board4) that ran on Kusaba X before it became heavily modified.5) For some reason, “Zeta” bought SectaChan's domain and Twitter account on April 9, 2014,6) claiming to be its successor, then bought an advertisement on 4chan around May 11, 2014.
From there, Hispachan mostly gathered a negative reputation in anonymous Hispanic communities as it was too mainstream. Some boring controversies happened,7) several AMA (Q&A) threads were held, then they would get some weird sponsors. “Zeta” would eventually step down on March 10, 2021, keeping control of the domain,8) then it was announced Hispachan would close on May 31, 2022.9)

Hispachan AMAs
The website curiously had a number of question-and-answer “ask me anything” (AMA) threads, starting with YouTube personality DrossRotzank on February 29, 2016, and “Zeta” actively encouraged the idea.10) Surprisingly, people have actually taken the offer, though “Zeta” would later complain about how people rarely accept, either due to the unconventionally vulgar environment or monetary demands.11)
