- Chan ARG Ecosystem The chan-ARG ecosystem is the loose constellation of Discordian-influenced alternate reality games and hashtag-driven meta-narratives, including TheGame23 and 00AG9603, that operate across the imageboard, Twitter, and WordPress 'dataplex' sites, and that academic information-warfare research has mapped as a component of the QAnon Twitter influence network.
