Ignore rude posters. I'm happy we have new and possibly productive users.
As much as I agree that having new people is usually a net plus, if you can't handle being called a retarded faggot or being "downvoted" with internet stickers this is probably not the place for you.
 
Call me a faggot but this is just retarded. Literally what does any of this acheive other than bringing it down for a few hours and inconveniencing basically everyone in the process because terminally online underage teenagers are still malding over the /qa/ board being wiped on their favorite forun designed entirely around a forced meme that hasn't been funny in years
1. Way more than a few hours
2. Genuine mossad op taken down
>Man, why do Israeli IPs, from a much smaller country than USA, out-post US IPs at 2:1 ratio? Why are there 20+ posts per capita from Israel?

RIP bibisi threads, not gonna miss it

For our brand new and shiny newfriends. It's pretty based that most of you aren't posting full images, however if you're an attachment poster, give this a shot:
After deleting the image from the text box, go to the attachment, press the insert button and then click on the thumbnail option. You'll be super cool if you do that.

I mean, they did have the htmlpurifier library in there.

Ahem, *snort*, I'm sorry. I tried to type that with a straight face but...


Write some scripts to convert and reimport the old database into whatever the new system uses, if you want to keep all the past posts, and be done with it. That code base would be far more work to update than to just replace.


I mean, I'd love to because I enjoy writing high-use software. Lots of little tricks and techniques I can use. It's almost a hobbyist thing to me. For as unsophisticated as 4chan is, I could do a whole new system from scratch in under a month that would have rigorous unit tests, DevOps processes, architectured so it could just scale up or down dynamically using EC2 instances or whatever. None of it is ground breaking stuff but I enjoy it the same way, I don't know, someone enjoys painting little miniatures or carving a piece of wood.

But I'm not sure 4chan should be resurrected and I'm doubly sure that nobody would pay me for my time even if I discounted my rates.
If they where too cheep to update the software of almost 10 years, I dont think they are going to be investing much in the new site.
 
In hindsight, Moot was a faggot that dealt with nothing and folded like a bitch.
He was practically absent throughout most of late 2007 to early 2008 when the site needed him the most due to the 3x influx in users. Was to busy with his 2.0 GUI back then rather then managing moderation. And when a board became unmanageable, moot's solution was to just make more boards. Like taking a shit covered rag and smearing it around. I remember when /mlp/ was made in 2012, there was this hope that he'd pull another April Furs Day and ban any and all who posted in there, which sadly didn't happen. Though at the very least it was the only legitimate containment board where any/all discussion of MLP was banned outside of it, which I think is the only kudos to the mods because that was consistently enforced. Anyways, If he had a spine, many of the problems of 4chan could've been resolved in that time period. That is of course if you don't subscribe to the belief that his hands were tied on handling it due to the debacle with the feds in the late 2000s.
 
This place isn't so bad after lurking for a bit. One thing I wonder in all of this, if the site ever goes back up, is if there will be a power vacuum where new jannies/mods could come in. I tried applying to be a janny once a long time ago but it never went anywhere. And around that time they stopped sending emails if you weren't accepted
 
It's one of the very few places left where you can say no-no words and discuss forbidden topics without being banned right away. It's probably the only good thing about it, though.
utter deranged copium. this hasn't been the case for years. Just because you could say nigger doesn't mean you wouldn't be shadowbanned for it, or talking about the wrong topic, or pissing off a janny. Just look at their logs you know this be true
 
You know, if 4chan does eventually come back online, I'm going to fully enjoy the first few hours of the site being up. Why? Because for the first time in a long while you can actually post with (mostly) real people. It takes some time to reconfigure all the bots and redirect all the shills, afterall.
Oh, and also because everyone WILL be dabbing hardcore on the jannies, mods and Hiroshimoot.
I'm spamming the janny dox log the moment the site comes back. The worst mistake they did was posting in their /j/ board that the shitposts and vitriol does affect them deeply.

>Eb& doe you get banned instantly for saying nigger or calling someone a retarded faggot, and the code reveals a host of blacklisted words that mostly have to do with the n word and the f word
>Eb& doe there's private ban reasons and they reveal tons of seething over no-no words and naughty topics
 
I dunno the site's main purpose is to talk about lolcows so it being diluted like this could be a bad thing.
Hardly. Lolcows have the most prominent and biggest section at the top of the board listings. If anyone does start a thread for their hobby it'll just be another entry in "Art & Literature" or "Internet and Tech".

That said, I agree with people like Collections Agent that KF needs to gatekeep its culture hard.

I find it hard to believe there was just one janitor on /LGBT/.
Apparently they didn't find a single janny for /cm/, just one for /y/, none for /hm/, one for /trash/. All the gaye boards seem to lack janitors.
I wouldn't be surprised if most of those jannies got spared from the TJD (total janny dump) for... reasons. I just find it hard to believe they lacked volunteers kek.
