Is 4-chan gone? gasp!?! goddammit. Don't 'they' realize how many assholes and degenerates this will dump on the internet? Myself included?

Hacked by a rival image board, all its moderators, janitors and premier users who made accounts have been doxxed.

The new owners who bought it from Moot in 2016 legitimately never updated the backend... The server was still running on a nine year old version of FreeBSD and PHP.

They had a premium membership thing going, and there were some who posted under an alias.

4chan gold was real??

It had some of the absolute greatest and the most depraved the internet had to offer. In my opinion Pepe is the greatest representation of 4chan, it can both easily be used for wholesome purposes or it can be extremely racist. It certainly left the greatest impact on the internet out of any website which is kinda funny because they were never relatively large. Now theres a 4chan shaped hole in the internet, and I hope its not filled by them flocking here.

When was the last time 4chan has used its strenghts for good, or was wholesome in any way?

It got to be a decade

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

its been a very long time. 4chan was less bad before the whole gamer gate thing.

Remember when 4chan was good?

4chan was never good.

I once read on 4chan: "One cannot hope without suffering." One of the realest shit I've ever read.

One cannot be nostalgic without hating their current circumstances.

Playing capture the flag with Shia LeBoof was kinda fun tho

I very much believe that there was a very short period when it first opened when it was all innocent. Then all the edge trolls took over.

moot created the site in response to lowtax banning hentai on Something Awful, I'm not sure I'd call that "innocent"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

What's wrong with hentai?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

I'd say that a teenager making a website for that is infinitely more innocent than everything /pol/ has ever done.
