Right now it appears several of the boards have been wiped out. /p/, /co/, /lgbt/, /vt/, /int/ all with empty catalogs.

DNS lookup shows the expiration for the site is a month from now, so it can't be that. No news yet, just speculation. Like... what is going on?

EDIT: /co/ is back up on my end at least. Haven't tried posting anything.

It appears to be back up for now.

Either Hiroshimoot fucked something up in the background or someone fedposted or posted cheese pizza.

It was the latter of those two, apparently someone spammed a bunch of boards with CP. I see people in /co/ talking about it right now.

Edit: Could've been something else, though. I see speculations about maybe it was something else on /g/.
 
It's a word faggots use, source: Nick the Spic. That's not a power level though.

Also touch grass, site goes down for a few minutes and you chimpout.
did you not read the post of him, December 26th was the post date, before this minor shitstorm on /co/ and the like happened, how the fuck is that a chimpout

I just tried to post in fit and the captcha isn’t loading. But the threads are shuffling when I refresh so someone is able to post. Just not me.

I was just there, looks the same old to me. Nothing seems to change around there.
I guess we are back. Previously blanked boards (I checked /ck/) look to be up. People are posting again. Literally every internet community just breathed a sigh of relief that they didn't have to get caught up in an onslaught of autism which would've happened guaranteed if the site stayed down much longer.

Obligatory "the new captcha is so fucking bad"
 
Its from a 2020 vice article in which supposedly a load of chatlogs of jannies leaked onto twitter and they managed to chat to a couple of current and ex jannies. Apparently its due to a jannie called "RapeApe" who ended up as chief janny under Moot and Hiromoot just let him carry on. He is also supposedly the guy who got the jannies to shutdown gamergate chat in 2014. Link: https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7a...d-turn-4chan-into-the-internets-racist-engine
Didn't RapeApe get ousted? Also, I don't trust the word of a janny who ran to Vice. I still hold that the GamerGate stuff got banned by moot because he wanted out and them calling him a cuck got to him.
