I have been reading the site code and it's fucking insane how much inefficient and ancient shit is piled up in it.

Wordfilter for tbh/fam? Efficient array, but the filter for soy? Lengthy specific chunk of code clearly patched in later.
There's an april fools .html most likely meant for an embedded frame that is so old it's referencing a site url used in 2007.
Random duplicate test files for json, the catalog, site board headers, all for seemingly no reason.
Proof they wanted to wordfilter /ck/, /vg/ and /vp/ specifically but never added the custom filters to their files (while now making those boards check the tbh/fam/soy filters twice or even thrice).
Oh, and the hcaptcha API key and many, many other API related things that definitely would nevereverever be used for evil purposes.

4chan is dead. Heh.
 
hmofa sure as shit is one of the generals left to rot. There were daily melties over the most inane things and blatant spam. It was always the same one-two guys, too, as you could see all their posts get deleted during the rare times they went so retardedly ballistic even the absentee jannies were forced to take notice. I get that /trash/ is /trash/, but fuck the jannies for policing 6 different blacked threads while everything else wasn't even looked at.
/trash/ is /trash/ but I miss when the board wasn't wall to wall generals and had various different topics early on and even was kind of a sister /ic/ before it fell into the same request spam general issue.

Ironic that the literal dumpster board grew its own culture off the refuse by lack of moderation but was also killed by Jannies unironically being too lazy to moderate their boards (or remove recurring spam posters on /trash/, which has been an issue for years). See all the /co/ generals, /kpop/ and /irl/ that got dumped there instead of doing their job. /trash/ doesn't even really serve its "purpose" as threads are rarely moved onto /trash/ unless it's too many replies already, or the mod finished fapping to the furry porn and moved it to /trash/ to save for later.
 
So, its game over?
If they're incompetent/careless enough to let something like this happen in the first place, it's incredibly likely that whatever contingency plans exist (assuming they do) also date back to when moot owned the site.
And even if they do manage to get the site back up, a whole shitload of mods/jannies are going to quit, assuming they haven't an hero'd already.
 
I wonder what Moots thinking right about now

Kiwi Farms Internet imperialism? Null has the security experience to turn it into our vassal state. Or would that bring a bunch of weirdos here.

this might very well go down in history as the day 4chan died, I fully expect SlopTubers like Mutahar to make videos on this
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that image board
Used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my bait
That I could make those people irrate
And maybe I'd be happy for a while
But April made me shiver
With every post I'd deliver
Bad news on the thread
I couldn't help but shake my head
I can't remember if I coped
When I read about the jannies, on HRT doped
All the posters they eloped
The day the 4cuck roped

Email appears on this fun and funky 90's Canadian gun club website, as well as the name Ryley Hayes

Looks like Ryley was a rep for a gun club more recently in 2022

and that gun club's sister website shows Ryley won an award in 2018

which gives us a photo of the happy moment-

Physiognomy is questionable.

absolutely kino, thank you for the poem
 
/pol/ doesn’t really seem to like Fuentes but that seems more like a byproduct of their contrarianism than any real political stance.
its funny /pol/niggers and /k/ikes hate each other, when they both shill for corrupt third world shitholes, and their boards are populated mostly by bots and third world brownoids
 
also to whoever was suggesting /b/ is an unmoderated glowie csam honeypot - no. Reports for Global Rule 1 get flagged specially in the report queue, and do go to the /b/ queue first (which has no jannies). Reported enough, and it climbs to the global queue - where every janny sees it at the top of thier queue and any janny can action it.

If a janny files a ban request for global rule 1 us law, it raises to the top of the mod queue to be actioned immediately. If a mod then issues a ban, there's some flow where the information attached to the ban (inc the post, ip etc) gets forwarded to the FBI.

There are no law enforcement (that im aware of) moderating 4chan (or even with the power to do so). But there is an automated workflow to snitch GR1 bans to the glowies.

That was me and good to know, this is why I don't have a mop and bucket
