Who wants to bet Chris either tries to take credit for this at some point or claims to have had advance knowledge about it from the future?
4Chan is motherland of the bronies it would be more surprising for such a degenerate to not be on staff there.

Hey I'm from 4chan and came over here while things get rectified. Kiwi is cringe and gives me heavier incel vibes, not to mention the fact that this place seems also more smug. What the fuck are you smug are you guys so smug about? You fucking avatar losers. Anyways, fuck all of you. Maybe one day you'll get some head or your asshole licked and then you can be less miserable. Later.
Still butthurt that your site has an older code than the soyfag teen that hacked you, huh?
 
Kinda torn between hoping it comes back, and hoping it stays dead.
On one hand, there were some circles and threads I actually liked frequenting compared to similar circles on other platforms.
On the other hand, the mass exodus of 4chan Regulars to other sites would be really funny to witness. Like a reverse of the Tumblr landwhale migration.
It needs to come back. If only because it served as a place the most annoying and spam happy retards could infest without detriment. It was the trash bin that sites like this and countless others dumped their trash into once they and all their socks were banned. Even the most unhinged retards could find a home on /pol/ where others would turn them away.

why are people acting like it won't be back up by tomorrow, or at the worst case scenario by the end of the week?
See:
I don't know if it's dead forever, but things look grim. From my understanding of the situation:
  • 4chan probably doesn't have a dedicated sysadmin
  • The hacker got shell access, meaning they could read/modify any data they wanted
  • 4chan might not have ANY backups
  • Due to the above, there is no way to restore data AND kick out the soyteen who got shell access
  • The only solution might be to nuke the entire website and rebuild it from scratch (meaning complete loss of data)
  • That's assuming anyone who works on 4chan has the expertise to rebuild it (which is also unlikely)
I'd also like to add to this post. If this was an exploit from an old vulnerability, that means no one working at 4chan was patching vulnerabilities or updating security. That's a really bad sign.
 
Of course they are

Blech. hate gurochan.

Sure I can watch rekt threads of indians getting hit by trains all day but when I have to see the things I jack off to getting brutally murdered that's where I draw the line. No thank you. That anime girl has more worth than a thousand browns.

I'll miss /a/. I'll miss the autistic schizoposting on /dbs/. I'll miss shitposting about the WG jews on One Piece's pseudo-generals. I'll miss being a lazy faggot and being spoonfed all the new chapters from all the manga I follow weekly. I'll even miss the storytimes, even though they were a sign of late stage decline of the board since they only appealed to nostalgiafags like me. I'll miss discovering masterpieces like Baki and enjoying them together with my fellow /a/utists.

I'm not even a hardcore animefag, but I liked how light-hearted the board felt while at the same time being (relatively) high speed. It was entertaining, at the very least. Very good when going to the shitter.
There's always Christmas and the various yearly watchalongs, which I'm sure people will still go to after /a/ dies.
 
Am I just looking back with rose tinted glasses or are the late zoomers on 4chan significantly more fucked up than the generation before? I recall back when I was on the site regularly most people had a pornography addiction, but they hated troons and generally wanted to be left alone. Shit like guro was relegated to the most degen corners of the site, and anyone I knew irl that was an anon was fairly normal, just autistic and edgy. So many of these jannies and zoomer anons are especially degenerate trannies who are into the most fucked up shit imaginable.

It's my understanding it was running an unpatched version of .php from 2016.
 
That's just how it is sadly its been like it for a long ass time. people want to engage in new/trending content and twitter and reddit is easy new content.
Its not hard to grasp why your non screencapped thread isn't getting traction
Sites like 4chan, The Sharty, and Kiwifarms have a similar attraction that 2b2t has. This edgy wild west website/server with a shitton of lore and "historical relevance"
And when you're actually on the site, it's just niggerbabbling for hours on end without contributing anything significant at all. 89% of 2b2t gameplay is just waiting in the queue for hours on end.
 
it's not schizo bc you had those think tanks publishing reports on how to shit the website up and lower the quality of discourse. but I think the real way to kill an internet community is to advertise how epic it is on reddit and to facebook normalfags.
very big this
some of the soyjack chuddies are celebrating atm but others are pointing out that them taking credit for the hack means they're making main stream news along side 4chan. guess what happens next
 
Are there any image boards with more than 1 post an hour that aren’t full of pedos and/or third worlders or is this the final nail in the coffin or anything that isn’t reddit or social media
Yes, I’ve been visiting one for a few weeks. No, I’m not telling you where to find it.
