What are imageboards?
Imageboards are usually anonymous online spaces for a group of people to talk about any topics and mainly to post images on the boards, hence the name imageboard. Before imageboards, there were similar anonymous online spaces called textboards, which are like imageboards without images. Most notable imageboards would be 2chan (Japanese), 4chan, 8chan/8kun (now defunct), 7chan, lolcow.farm, and wizardchan.

Imageboards I know of:
- 4chan created by Christopher Pool aka moot when he was 15 in 2003. A lot of memes came from 4chan and various parts of the internet.
- 2chan Japanese Imageboard created in 1999. They really don't like it when a non East Asian goes on this site.
- 7chan got founded when former users of 4chan got tired of /b/tards on the site, so they flocked to 7chan. Founded in 2009.
- 8chan/8kun 8chan was an imageboard like 4chan, created in 2013. The 8chan url got shut down around 2019, and they had to create a newer url, 8kun.top. 8kun got shut down a couple of weeks ago. Mainly linked to authoritarian right/alt-rights.
- 420chan was created on the 20 April 2005. Basically an imageboard for potheads.
- 1chan imageboard about trains
