Hispachan
Hispachan was a popular Spanish bulletin board that was founded by “Zeta” on November 17, 2012, who later stepped down on March 10, 2021,1) and it proceeded to close on May 31, 2022.2) Despite their size, it was not respected by the anonymous Hispanic community.
History
On November 6, 2012, “Zeta” purchases the “hispachan.org” domain3) and implements a countdown to the inauguration on November 17, 2012. They started out with a “General” board4) and ran “Kusaba X”, which became heavily modified over time.5) After some time, “Zeta” bought SectaChan's domain and Twitter on April 9, 2014,6) claiming to be its successor, then advertised itself 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)
