If they're messing with the site right now, it's clearly not because they're ready to put it back online. Certainly not this soon. They're probably cleaning up whatever was left in the wake of their hasty plug-pulling, and slapping together a proper landing page explaining the situation as vaguely and unhelpfully as possible while letting visitors know they're "working on it" with no ETA because they have no fucking idea how fast they can get it done, themselves... only that Hiro wants them to take the quickest, cheapest, laziest route back to whatever resembles normalcy so he can sit back and let the money roll in again.
I always rolled my eyes at the nobodyfags, but I never thought about the parallels to Qtard shit until your post. Now that you point it out, it really is just the same vagueposting + "you are special, just wait and do nothing and everything will right itself bg deus ex machina because you believed" template for a slightly different audience. Good observation.Right.
It was the same vague shit as q but built around millennial sensibilities. I'd compare it to null's now infamous rant about dubs vs subs in anime (i.e. subs are favored because they shield you from the cringe). The bizarre syntax you'd see in Nothing generals was an attempt to insulate your mind from realizing "wait, this is fucking cringe, what the fuck I'm doing?"
(That said, subs are still superior to dubs,.)
It never reached the same level because millennials are much more internet savvy than the qboomers were. But it did kill /x/. Once you have a schizoid type ego-invested in this shit it's really hard to wean them off it, because schizoids are contrarian by nature.
