It's remarkable how many new users from 4chan forget the very basic etiquette of lurk until you have an understanding of the culture and etiquette of the place you're trying to join in.
Already saw some melting down and refusing to lurk moar
 
The fact that no one thought to exploit this bug a for almost a full 10 years is pretty impressive, not sure if it speaks more to 4chan's dwindling relevance or Hiroshim00t's incompetent negligence.
Its probably just that nobody cared to look until now
 
How bad did they get? I haven't checked on /vr/ in a while, and at this rate I never will again.
/vr/ is pretty much a wasteland about autists discussing about CRTs and old console wars than retro videogames.

If you're wondering about the Doom threads. it went pretty shit when they started constantly shilling literal-who names from Troonworld. it got infested with so many fucking obnoxious autistic faggots and speedtrannies whining a lot about GZDoom or any Doom wad that is not Vanilla/Boom-compatible because it can't do 'muh speedrun demos'. there are hardly any good or interesting topics anymore, it's always the same shit; It's either about fucking Plutonia and some le cool hard mapset like Sunlust or some boring ass slaughtershit wad. they're also fucking terrible at managing community projects and what annoys me the most is that there's always some retard nigger faggot pushing to make the maps more 'challenging'. (more broken and unplayable mess) over consistent and fun gameplay like the original games.

while 4cuck remains dead, I hope their lastest doom project get cancelled and those faggots get fucked in the ass.
 
Josh this thread is starting to fucking STINK, ban all the oldtroons infesting this thread with their 450+ lbs troglodyte bodies.

This is the most devastating thing about the hack, not the hack itself or the site being down but the confirmation that everything is outdated as shit and nobody could be bothered to maintain the site ever since Hiro bought it, and information about the specific ways in which the site is shit. There's undoubtedly plenty of other exploits just waiting to be discovered, Null even spitballed about one himself:

This is not going to be the last time 4chan is compromised. They're not competent enough to do the full rewrite from scratch that 4chan needs.
God I wish the guy posted an htop screenshot or something that would identify the hardware, imagine if they really are still using Mac Minis.
 
I'm still catching up but this post is 200% correct, even as a small time hobby artist you would get your own personalized schizo posters that would barely sleep/took shifts around the clock to shit up threads you posted in. government mandated sub community of spergs and larpers shoved into a discord server dedicated to calling you a niggerfaggot.
Ironically respectable dedication to the game.
Can also confirm this, as someone who has a group of said schizoids that will shitpost when I would post things in specific threads(which I'll refuse to elaborate upon). Actually, they even make shitposts targeting me when I'm not posting. It's entertaining in a way but also tiring.
It's to the point that I don't actually think any of them really care about any specific thing. It feels like it's a site-wide 24/7 raid from some deranged discord server or something and they just target areas with the highest activity areas with the weakest moderation and they're more targeting specific threads rather than individuals(most the time), they just hit individuals when they happen to post in the thread(s) they target. I've seen it happen to too many small time /vg/ threads or niche general threads in other off-boards for it to be all completely unrelated to each other.
And it just happens that a huge amount of the site has really fucking weak moderation. We're talking posts getting deleted just because they've been reported by some fag cycling through proxies that still work on the site 5+ times without actually reviewing the content, and then passing a ban request on to a mod that also almost never actually checks the content. And then those same people shitting up the thread(s) they want to derail with things that are "technically not against the rules" but is pretty obvious and blatant trolling/shitposting/spamming to anyone who actively participates in the thread.
 
It's remarkable how many new users from 4chan forget the very basic etiquette of lurk until you have an understanding of the culture and etiquette of the place you're trying to join in.
I reckon it's because a lot of them never lurked in the first place, and when 4chinz went down, they just jumped out onto whatever's out there like flies.
...Not speaking from experience, of course :smug:

This thread is about 4chan getting gibbed, and naturally you cant discuss your site dying in the dead website in question. This is one of very few sites on the internet with light content moderation, so obviously many are going to flock to this specific thread.
Peersonally I haven't posted outside of this thread nor do I plan to without lurking for probably a decade.
