I think it's interesting that despite all of the rapefugees here (myself included), nobody seems to be upset by this.
The ephemeral nature of image boards helps. Even if they're down for a month and come back with everything wiped, people will just shrug and resume shitposting. Everyone relies on 3rd party archive sites to retain things of dubiously historical value.

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-

gookmoot is probably going to update the site with 2ch data most likely i have a feeling moot isn't going to give a shit as he's moved on with his life, unless gookmoot just decides to sell finally once he regains control of the site at some point and just be done with it, 4chan was declining but there wasn't anything like it and kf isn't exactly similar.
if gookmoot is actually japanese, then I wouldn't be surprised if he has to fax the code used to update the site for holiday events directly to the DOJ
 
4chan refugee here. You would get a dedicated schizoid on any hobby board where you would post your work. I've seen more then a dozen really good, professional tier artist from /ic/ art and critique board get run off by deranged lobotomites that would skulk the board 24/7. One of the many reasons why 4chan went down the shitter is because the jannies would let schizophrenics, coomers and shitposters basically take over entire boards.
you really not seeing the part where jannies also engaged in schizo/shit/coomerposting to fuck up the boards?
lol
lmao even, look at the highlights.
also welcome to the farms, nigga.
 
I wonder if 4chan dies and le media no longer has their personal internet hate machine to fall back on, will the sharty become the new focus of normie ire? will the sharty get gentrified like 4chan did?
Normies are conscious of 4chan the way they're conscious of their own nose. They only know it's there if you tell them. They go cross eyed to look at it for a second and then forget until you invoke it again.
 
I've watched all my resident /vg/ generals have their drawfags chased off by schizophrenic retards that kept having meltdowns and shitting on them, then sulk and bemoan about how it's stale and there's no OC anymore.
Towards the end most of my generals didn't even have drawfags or anyone else posting OC of any sort, it was literally gooners and schizos getting into the most autistic slapfights imaginable. Truly fucking grim and the final nail in the coffin was people just not being able to post anymore without feeding them your email. It's like they wanted to kill the site in it's tracks.

2chan (Futaba Channel) has a thread on the hack.




EDIT:
1) Added d56ws8.7z which according to this post is the entire source code that has been leaked.
2) Changed the spoiler title from "Archival Autism" to "Autistic Archiving"

The fact that 4chan is not up again makes me think that they had no backups at all.
Should be relatively simple to get it back up and running on updated servers in no time if they had.

So the question is what did Hiromoot use all the money he made from 4chan on?
They probably need to spend a truckload of time patching vulnerabilities and getting the software up to date, especially considering the source code is now public

I know I bemoaned /mu/, the decline of kpg, and how the kpop general keeps /mu/ moving along like a rotting zombie with the amount of kpop group generals it makes, but /trv/ went from learning about what countries to visit, and interesting things about them to sex tourists spamming. And if you bitched about the sex tourists (they often frequented SEA generals), they would screech at you.
 
4chan has for the most part very anti pedo. Back in the day we would go to stupid lengths to expose predators and delete their system 32 and report them to feds. I know there is a lot of freaks on 4chan but just like the farms, many good people who dont like seeing innocent and vulnerable people taken advantage of.
A ton of people have already pointed out how wrong this post is but old /b/ the era that people say was the "golden age" (this screencap is from 2005) was full of open pedophiles. There was literally a /l/ lolicon and /sm/ shotacon boards back in the day.
