Wishful thinking, but it would be nice to see the sane posters from hobby generals to migrate here and have a more civilized spot to discuss shit. /g/ had a few generals with comprehensive OPs that were neat, like /csg/ where people just enjoyed buying chinkshit from Ali, /iemg/ and /hpg/ for audio. There's also /sg/ from /vg/ that could migrate to the STALKER thread to shit on Grok, Griga and discuss buildo ludokino. /iemg/ helped me out finding good IEM's for a decent price, /csg/ got me to buy some cool dumb shit as well, and there's very little hobby focused discussion with guidance like this on KF.

IMO KF is the perfect place for a good chunk of 4chan users to move to. Basically the only thing keeping them on 4chan was the lack of registration and full anonymity, which came at a cost that quality discussion would often get thwarted by schizospam. But here those posters could flourish with proper moderation, discussion segmentation, archival and formatting. If anything I'll miss those few generals where you could actually find something out and have a nice discussion, where all the issues stemmed from 4chan being 4chan, but the posters themselves had their heart in the right place and you could tell that. They'd fit right in and I encourage them to join in.

/hmofa/ will forever be the niggers of the boards tho and won't even get the chance to move here, rip

Some of the hobby threads I browse are already slow enough as is, I can't imagine how slow they'd be here unless literally everyone decided to migrate. I think a lot of us are just waiting for a decent altchan to popup (assuming 4chan is dead forever)

I don't know why your post wont let me quote, I'll just assume its growing pains of the new forum version.
@The Projects
It's well understood that 4chan sits at the top of the internet food chain, and memes, narratives, ideas drip down from there to everywhere else. 4chan is able to get away with doing and saying horrendous things, while a site like Kiwifarms gets their service pulled.

Not true, 4chan's hayday is long over.
Now realize that they are literally getting people to PAY to do this. And the volume of people trying to use 4chan was getting so high as to be un-moderateable, hence the sudden need for email verification, and 900 second waiting period. If they didn't have a purpose, they wouldn't care, they'd just let people spam the board into being unusable.

Also not true, 4chan has been dying, you can check 4stats.io and see that every board is in steep decline long before the 15min waiting period. I just did a data comparison for the 3 Fishtank seasons on /tv/ and the downtrend from 2023 to today is so dramatic that i had to do a linear regressions to even the data out so everything was on a level playing field. /pol/ is actually trending back to where it was in 2015 in terms of posting activity per day. The site is so shot to shit that its safe to say its in a deathspiral, the lack of official apps for the site is also a serious issue they don't seem to give a fuck about either. As it stands there is no app for Android that is functional for years now.

I'm kinda pissed to be honest. My last post on 4chan was so lame. It was just a picture of Donkey Kong from his new game (DK Bananza) getting a banana, he punches the banana, it's made of some kind of mineral, and the banana breaks and it says "OH, Banana" in text . DK is happy at least, but his new design IS unsettling. In game it looks like his fur is made of feathers, and when he jumps in water and gets out it looks like he is made of plastic. Very bad look for the new Donkey Kong. The gameplay looks a little bit too simple for me, I'm an older man now (25) and can't really play easy, childish, videogames without feeling like a chump.

/v/ mods are huge Nintoddlers and will lick the taint of Nintendo if given the chance.

Shot in the dark, but were any of the refugees here around in the /vn/ general on /vg/? A couple years ago there was a bot that made the thread unusable by spamming nonsense posts replying to other posts. The bot could even get baited into spamming Visual Novel threads on /v/ somehow. I always wondered what the story behind that was, I know it got banned eventually. Searched this thread and didn't see any mention of it.

yeah, at this point I think it might be optimistic to see it even returning to full service, let alone getting any better. the jannies will just return more unemployed than ever, fully coping trying to silence any ridicule of this obviously massive and inexcusable fuck-up that has managed to take the site down for going on over 12 hours now.

If the trannies currently running it are too fucking stupid even to know how to update the OS and basic parts of the software, plus the source code is basically leaked (and probably spaghetti code that would embarrass the streetshittingest jeet or even Radium from SomethingAwful), who is going to rewrite it to patch everything?

The gaggle of jerkoff pedophile sex pests currently running it? At this point they need a Seal Team Six and that gouging gook Hiroshimoot isn't going to pay for that.

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.

They? Moot picked those people and left 4chan to them when he fucked off.
