The Great Chan Death of January 2007
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Around late-January 2007, a sudden AIDS epidemic overwhelmed many popular 'chan' communites causing many of them to go offline and leaving many /b/tards bewildred and lost among the mass of internet.

[edit] 4chan
Yotsuba Channel (as of 27th January) is offline
due to a power failure:
[1/27 14:55:28] * moots changes topic to '4chan | oh no power failure | everybody dies'
Status: Timing out.
[edit] 420chan
420 was already under massive scrutiny by its host as it was the same host used by 12chan. A CP image was posted on the lolicon board and the host decided that this was a valid enough reason to kick them off their servers. It came back relatively quickly, but with only two boards fully operational (/b/ and /i/)
[edit] 12chan
12chan was investigated and taken down by Interlol and subsequently, k0w was raped by bubba in a French prison.
Status: V&
[edit] 2ch.ru
Moderatly popular russian-language imageboard. Down for unknown reasons.
Status: Downski Upski
[edit] 7chan
After the death of its /i/ board, 7chan's userbase had shrunk a little and as such was unprepared for the wave of 4channers upon 4chan's downtime.
Status: 7chan is now officially back up, though no one cares still.
[edit] Wikichan
WikiChan, that repository of Aids infested failure is also down. Of course, it's been down for a while, but we have to sensationalize this shit, don't we?
Status: Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside Down
