Is there any posibility null will save 4chan?
No, 4chan is already a sunk-cost fallacy only propped up by money and free-time that people pour in. Better it dies, or change ownership and restart from the ground-up. Tabula Rasa you know.

If there is a anon here with bags of money to do it, I would be all for it if it doesn't degenerate into troons shit and psyops/automated shit-flinging again.

Going down Highway 30 in Iowa at 3 in the morning, you're suddenly overwhelmed by a blinding light. A tractor beam lifts you and your car hundreds of feet into the air. As you're pulled into the UFO's loading bay, your car radio whirs to life:
"GOOD MORNING SAAR"
Tangentially related but it reminds me of an obscure episode from the X-files in season 7 or 8 where the monster of the week is a disabled magical Indian midget that climbs up people's butt holes and shits himself out which kills the person in the process. I couldn't stop laughing when I first watched it. Anyway here is a scully to cleanse your mind of the thought.

It's literally important for the stability of the world
 
Turning? This thread has always been the 4cuck rehab center. What you do after this session is up to you.
  • Relaps, going back with that stockholm syndrome of yours,
  • Stay of the farms exploting other threads (there are non-lolcow ones), maybe even watch MATI.
  • Go off to other alternative imageboards. sharty, our_ or zzz_ are the popular ones.
  • Uncle Teddy mode. The internet has offered its best and it's time to move away from the digital realm, the screen hypnotisation, back to reality.
eh... couldnt be bothered to read 900 pages of talk.

ill probably go with the second option, the well dried up on 4chan dried up ages ago... now its just worthless rambles. i already were an avid sharty lurker since the /qa/ exodus, though its like trying to get over your alcohol withdrawals by injecting heroin. the thing i was looking for in these imageboards no longer exists. probably stopped existing long before i discovered them.

I mean if your Mods even bothered talking to you guys like we have here, your problems would go down drastically. You can't reason with a wall. You can with a person.
I've seen you say that several times. Like I have any kind of relationship with 4chan moderation and also implying KF moderation goes above and beyond by inviting you to dinner and weddings. My only interactions with 4chan moderation were when I had to go to the IRC twice over the years to get a poxy ban overturned, and both times I got a result, other than that, I've had no contact with them. It very much depends on where you're at, if you're a /pol/ack, they'll leave you alone so long as you stay in your containment board, but be on good behaviour whenever you get adventurous and go exploring other boards. I've been reading posters from other boards here, and they come across as having a nemesis/parasocial relationship with their boards mods.

EO and SHARP literally destroyed the military across all branches. Yeah I ge it we need systems in place to prevent sexual assaults/harrassment and not have troops infighting but their execution is and will always be awful and one sided.
That said it was hilarious how many Uncle Ruckuses there were. Miss those degenerates.
Especially when the fucking barracks bunnies kept fucking everyone and then saying they raped them for no reason. One of them cut herself and said it was because she got raped but that bitch was a whore.
I had some great times, don't get me wrong, but it was that kind of shit that killed the experience for me.
 
That's not what this was about. Jannies can't give out bans longer than the 3 day seething weekend, and they have to escalate to mods, so they include an internal message for why the ban is justified.
They do keep ban histories which is a bit sketchy but it isn't unusual.
I do think that's what this is about. There's no reason the ban cannot publicly say "called people jews and niggers 100 times". Allowing this sort of resentment to fester hidden away breeds redditors.

Like any website with jannies, experiences may vary. Still it's nice actually talking to our mods, because some are interesting. They might watch the same lolcow as you, know things about particular subjects, etc. They're actual people, not invisible forces of nature.

I'm bouncing between the 3 last options. I got phases where I go a week with no internet lurking (only email and calender). sometimes I scroll though the alt. boards and the farms. I have noticed that not putting your eggs in one basket is the best option. As "reddit" it might sound, balancing it out gives you a better perspective on things, and it's more important than evern considering how psyop'ish some sites has gotten. So if you diversify it (kek). you have smaller risk of lurking in a circlejerking echo chambers, bot sites and honeypots in one instance. Spread the risks so to speak.
 
View attachment 7240824I'm literally just waiting. There isn't any alternative and there won't be any alternative. Either it comes back or we're done.
If you want to know specifically what I'm personally waiting for, there is a general I have lurked for about 3 years now. It's populated by maybe 5 people, maybe 30 on rare occasions. We don't have any other way of contacting each other, we meet there on a schedule to talk. Those people might be gone forever, all because someone was mad at the administration.
There is no going somewhere else. If the site is gone, they're gone.
I want to talk to those people, about that topic, in that place, like we have done unbothered for years.
>knowing how many posters there are
>caring about their identities

Sounds like you should have moved your gay blog and mutual admiration thread somewhere else, you disgusting avatarfag

/v/ is definitely adversarial because of the sheer amount of mismanaging theyve done over the years. I've been personal witness to a 3 day ban and thread deletion over humiliating a janny in an argument on /v/

back in my day we compiled dossiers on the mods of our board such that we were able to geolocate them based on their moderation activity, correlated them against joins/leaves in IRC, and waited for a network failure that would interrupt vhost masking on their handle to get their hosting provider to confirm. Then the fun began
