There is a consensus to exclude the 8chan website from the external links section. Most editors agree that our moral obligation to not facilitate access to a website notable for containing child pornography overrides any benefit to the project derived from giv[ing] the reader the opportunity to see what the subject says about itself (WP:ELOFFICIAL).
Consensus can change, but not without another similar community discussion as happened when that consensus was formed. Please do not boldly re-add the link without starting another talk page discussion which directly addresses the closing statement and arguments brought up in the first discussion.
