@Hitman One speaking of KF 4chan crossovers, here's one from yesterday featuring a post from @COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST
I think the circulation of information and user overlap on /pol/ is interesting despite it being degraded by bots, browns, etc

There's a lot of crossover from 4chan, it's just a big anonymous dumping ground for information while this place obsesses over chronicling information. Still pretty funny though.
 
Gookmoot needs more money and is increasing the price of 4chan pass.

Remember when 4chan or /pol/ used to be the internet zeitgeist that would end up on the news? Now Kiwi Farms fulfills that role and the former ends up re-posting the latter like some glorified subreddit. Pathetic.

My cope is that this is the natural outcome of a bunch of factors/events and represents a necessary progression. And despite that, /pol/ still has its moments:

Meowth be a coon not a cat

Listen that lil nigga Meowth think he somethin special just cause he can run his mouth in human tongue. But he ain't nothin but an Uncle Tom with fur, this fool done learned to walk and talk like them humans, struttin around like he better than the rest of his Pokémon senpai. He rollin with Jesse and James, actin like he part of some elite human club, when in reality, he just a pawn in their bitch ass schemes.

Now, other Pokémon out here livin their truth, bein themselves, fucking bitches in the Pokémon daycare fightin battles, evolvin, growin and shit. But Meowth he sittin'here coonin for approval. thinkin that by speakin human

Besides he only learned human language for some hoe that rejected him and later on he gave up his potential to evolve, Meanwhile, all them other Meowths out there stay true, stay grindin, but this nigga out here tryin to live in a world that ain't ever gon fully accept him. Stupid ass nigga he ain't a Meowth buy a coon.

You mean how allowing moderators to get away with blatant power abuse and welcoming the worst elements of the internet while chasing away anyone with potential talent and creativity(ie gamergate exodus and 8chan, /qa/ exodus and sharty ect.) will lead to your entire site being overrun with trannies and porn addicts? Yeah, I can see that.
 
It looks like arch.b4k.co, an archive for video game related boards (i.e /v/, /vg/, etc) has been put on client hold.

There's a rentry getting thrown around about the status of the archive.

There better be backups in place. It's bad enough old /v/ and /vp/ archives have been lost relatively recently that I noticed while I was trying to look for content, not to mention more niche boards.
 
Also Desuarchive doesn't have any images past 2017 now.
/vp/ doesn't even have threads that go back that far, let alone images. I posted in the Pokemon thread about a controversy and I am pretty sure I am the only one who saved some of those images, glad I still have them. As for other similar threads around that thread? Probably out of luck.
I'm pretty sure /v/ threads before 2016 are gone fullstop, since I couldn't find archives that go that far back, something about them being reported by asshurt parties(just like now).
 
I said it before and I'll say it again, newfags are not cut from the same cloth oldfags were.

Also /pol/ is barely coherent right now. I mean, more so than usual.
"Oldfags" went over to 8chan back in the day, later after that shutdown many gave up and went on social media, back to 4chan, here or even sharty, some quit internet altogether or only go on discord.
As for 4chan, there were several generation of newfags already, each worse than the last, and each holding on to the watered down, flanderized version of 4chan that the previous newfags romanticized. By this point, the "glory days" of /b/ and old /v/ were so long ago that the only point of reference people have from them are r/4chan posts and youtube videos, both obviously not showing any of the juicier content. Just look at "Queen of /b/" Isabella Janke.
4chan as some of us know it has been dead for longer than some of the current users have been using it. It might as well be a mirage by this point since we're never going back to that point in time in culture or the internet.
I would say /pol/ died shortly after the Trump election in 2016, it was already dogshit by the time 8chan shut down and Tarrant shooting came down. Since then, the feds have been clamping down on it harder and accelerated the process of turning it into a tightly controlled honeypot, so that the 8chan /pol/ refugees wouldn't have any impact on the board(which they did to an extent for a very short period of time after 8chan shutdown). Sure enough, by 2020/2021 it was the exact same schizophrenic, incoherent shithole it is now. The only time the board gets even somewhat usable is when Israel gets hit by an attack, same time as when racemixing propaganda and black dicks stop being posted. Worst part is that a new 8/pol/ will never be made, I can only imagine how fast that place would get swarmed with CP spam if it got any sort of traction.
