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.

/x/ was disappointing a lot of times.
I went to Trans-Alleghany Lunatic Asylum up in West Virginia and tried to set up a group ritual through /x/. I got like 20 people saying they were going to meet me there, no one showed up first off, and when I offered to livestream a solo ritual, no one wanted to watch it because they thought the spirits were going to portal through the camera and haunt them so I ended up just not even bothering to break in at night and just did a ouija session on the property. It was alright but most of what came through was nonsense except for a few questions of mine being answered with short answers, I had a better one in a simple graveyard in my own town. It sucks not being able to find dedicated people, most people just want to larp they don't actually study or do anything.

Same problem TBH - no idea why that place had such a hold on me and other people. No where else on the internet was like that to me - maybe the place was autism crack? Either way I am happy to be finally free.

My guess is that you were constantly having to hit F5 to stay as refreshed as possible. Things move at lightning speed over there. You don't need to do the same here, and you can just settle into a couple of threads, leave, and only be behind by multiple pages if something big happens. And even if you do get a little behind, the threads aren't getting purged, so they'll be there when you come back.

I think it was too. For the same reasons you mentioned. The targeting was too precise to be random.

They may have been attempting to manipulate reality on the quantum level and manifest him into reality too, in a sort of "double slit" experiment sort of way. The "rules" to this reality are much weirder than a lot of people realize. There were also a lot of actual witches on that board.

Glowie witches... just think of it, man.

Remember, when and if it comes back, you'll be instabanned if you even dare to ask what the fuck happened.

To compare to here, where while we've had a couple hacks they have not ever been root level assrape and Null has immediately explained exactly what happened.

Then again he does go upside our heads for complaining about stickers and cheese...
(but, seriously; you're going to be going back to a bunch of mods that actively hate you and want you gone)

With manga it's usually due to not optimizing PNGs. They can be quite huge if left unchecked.
Look at this shit I randomly downloaded from kemono (manga style pic of Chun Li, black and whiteish color palette).

There were tons of operations on /x/
  • In the /LOA/ (law of attraction) generals, we had a literal mod assigned to those threads in order make sure the there was no real discussion occurring. Said mod banned me multiple times because I told his tranny ass that you can't use the LOA to turn into a woman and instead should use it to cure his mental illness. The craziest thing that happened in those threads is one anon actually used the LOA to manifest cunny (go check 4plebs if you can find the screenshot) and that absolutely spooked the mods there.
  • Before they disappeared, the Cosmic Death Fungus threads glowed like crazy until anons bullied those retards off /x/. I remember one dumbfuck actual posted some of his bot code in a thread by mistake because he was seething so much and wasn't paying attention. Were those threads malicious? Not sure but they weren't organic and most of the posters there were bots.

Don't forget all of those Tiamat threads, where they were claiming that a mountain range in Lebanon was actually the dead body of some kind of giant alien slug.

4chan is probably fucked at this point because its taking so long to get active again, even if someone competent at server administration like graf got ahold of the domain its too late. The userbase is settling in on other sites and it will be basically impossible to coax them back to the same old dogshit limitations on 4chan with the awful jannie and moderation issues. Who the fuck would want to go back to having 2mb video limitations with no sound when you have 100mb video with sound on 8kun or 8moe, plus the specialized forums for specific topics.
