do you think anything will end up taking 4chans place in the chan-o-sphere if it goes down or will the whole ecosystem just continue to decline. would an altchan be able to take a more prominent space in culture?

So, what's gonna happen to all the torrent groups? That was actually useful shit, is it lost?
And I mean 4chan can't just stay dead. It's been around forever but moreso if they don't raise it back someone else is just gonna make a clone and it'll become the new 4chan.
Hiroshimoot hasn't posted on xitter for hours. I imagine he's already trying desperately to nip this in the bud.

Reminder that this all started because /qa/ raided /lgbt/ and 4chud killed /qa/ in response.
You know what the best thing about this whole shitshow is?
It's not the Sharty who are responsible for this, it's 4chan.

/qa/ was made solely to be used for a single Q&A for Moot and Gookmoot and yet instead of just freezing the board when it wasn't in use or even just deleting it, they literally just left it sitting around with minimal moderation and let any retard who found it do whatever they wanted. That video of the kid proposing to his girlfriend with a printed soyjak wouldn't exist if the mods just did some basic moderation instead of ERPing in Discord all day while a bunch of children form a cult around mspaint edits of fucking wojaks.

And this went on for like two fucking years until they decided to finally step in, AND it was only after /qa/ raided the literal gay tranny board (/qa/ had raided several boards before this and /lgbt/ being the last straw is quite telling, to put it mildly.) Of course, by then it was way too late since at that point the teens had a proper altchan for a while, so they just moved off and kept on doing their business and now here we are today, where 4chan, one of the most influential websites on the internet, is at a high risk of getting completely fucked beyond repair, all because their absolute joke of a moderation team couldn't put in the barest amount of effort into their jobs.

So, while these jannies are panicking over their porn torrents being shared while the site burns down, I hope they realize that the Sharty didn't kill 4chan.
They did.
