For easy access, incase you don't want the code on your computer, or whatever reason, I have uploaded the 4chan source code to https://git.slowb.ro/AgarthaCrack/4ChanSourceCode

admin.php and lib/admin.php... names are hard.

Shit yeah basically all the keys are here, their captcha shit, cloudflare auth header shit, reverse dns signing, and this is just me perusing a little.
As some other poster said, some funky manual SQL with string interpolation action is definitely going on.

The worrying bit for me is when you see them building command strings to pass to exec with what looks like a suid wrapper. Nice.

I was thinking the fediverse might be a good place for 4chan refugees to set up shop, on the pleroma side.

Way too high effort. The only reason I made a KF account is because it's one of the few places discussing the hack openly. Otherwise the "start posting by only answering a captcha" user experience is unbeatable for accessibility.

I used to filter blacked threads out and that alone wiped out half the board on /gif/. It was like a ghost town. At any given time there were like 11 threads just for interracial blacked porn, not including the WMAF shit. Add tranny porn into that and it was fucking dead. Every porn thread wasn't even mostly porn, either. It was all retards arguing about their penis size.

There had to be something fucked with the mods/jannies on /gif/, because other "porn" boards were not as bad.

Ironically what once made 4chan great ended up being one of it's biggest flaws : total anonymity. It made it way too easy for discord troons to astro-turf every topic into board into submission. You simply cannot have any discussion worth having anymore on a board that doesn't require an account of some kind in order to post. It's ghey and I hate that it's like that, but it is how it is.

The kiwifarms allowing guest accounts or something similar would ruin this site, too many troon groups who would weasel their way in "How do you do fellow kiwi's, TTD am I right?" and would then actively try to subvert and derail every conversation.

I always found it strange that 4chan removed IP counters. The only real way to reduce subversive behavior would have been to enforce unique IDs and flags site-wide, while completely banning VPNs instead of allowing them through 4chan passes. But it's no surprise the mods and jannies didn’t want that. After all, they were using the anonymity to steer discussions the way they wanted, while using private reasons to ban people who talked about things they hated.

It's hard to believe /g/ had 11 janitors (+4 global ones). It had a few almost decent generals ruined by constant off-topic spam. People would get random 3 day bans if they didn't go along with the avatarfags.

I'm also pretty certain they stalked users across the boards. Wrongthink, like anti war views, on /pol/ led to consequences across other boards.

It doesn't make any sense to me. 4chan has good rules, but no one is enforcing them. Moderation is complete chaos.

I’m too old to change my ways. I’ve always hated discord, I don’t like other forums, and social media isn’t good for my hobbies.

/tv/ was the only place I could discuss Stargate, /tg/ was the only place I could spam bait nogamer threads on and still hit the bump limit, and when I was in college I do believe that autistic retards on /fit/ drastically changed my life and helped me lose the weight with eternal /fph/. Today I wanted to post the terrible bread that I made and I had to post that shit on xitter, where surprise surprise, zero interactions. On /ck/ I’d have a dozen people cursing me out and several people actually giving me advice. What’s the alternative, going on reddit and posting bread and getting a dozen useless comments quoting marvel movies?

lol didn’t expect this feature.
But yeah Kaguya is a massive deranged gooner. If his statements are to be believed, he was the one who insisted on kuz bringing back gurochan “to give us guro fans a place”, as well he admitted to posting lolicon porn on imageboards that don’t allow them as some sort of shock content.
He probably used his time administering gurochan, heyuri and moderating soyjak.party as some sort of way to convince 4chan management to make him a jannie.

How is this evidence of /gif/ astroturfing when it's flag stats from /pol/? :thinking:

Agreed. Give new accounts from mid-April the badge so they are easy to spot.

I'm not sure why some of you are mourning the potential death of 4chan. Almost every board was Astro-turfed to death and we now know from the leaks and private banning reasons that a lot of it was actively facilitated by the mods just banning people for personal bullshit reasons. You can actually talk more shit and express your opinion more freely on the average reddit board than 2025 4chan.

Topics about hobbies are always flooded with porn from gooner trannies, topics about current events, culture or politics are constantly flooded by discord raids and aided by jannies putting their finger on the scale by banning people and deleting posts they don't like.

I do think 4chan will come back, the mods and jannies need the site to be around so their pathetic lives feel like they have any value, so they'll beg and crawl for Horshiromoot to give it another shot. But I personally hope it stays dead.

The death of 4chan may spell the end of imageboards in general, which ultimately is a huge win for centralized social media and trooncord. No one will ever be able to convince me that 4chan, as garbage as it often is, is worse than xitter and reddit. The same applies to message boards such as this one - I don't want to see them disappear in favor of social media "apps" owned by billionaire technocrats.

Best case scenario is 4chan stays dead and and a superior altchan (other than the sharty) takes its place, but that is way too optimistic and I'm not counting on it.
