Plagued 4chan - the Internet hate machine

[Blasterman]

aaaand he didn’t come back did he… goddamnit moot it’s the 20th anniversary and you really won’t show up? you’re really letting the site die just like that? the site that had the biggest influence on the internet? the site that once had a community that you kinda ruined when you left? for fucks sake. seems like i was really too optimistic
but hey, what if he’s dead?

moot is a sellout, kid. He sold out because (((the powers that be))) started to genuinely be afraid of 4chan and it's power; in return they gave him a fairly good spot at (((Google))). Chanology and Occupy were immense movements all kick-started by 4chan. When Gamergate rolled along moot started banning people, and it was then that it became obvious he sold out. /pol/ had some of that spirit for a few years afterwards but post 2018 that board has been so drowned in bots that it's practically unusable.

Once is the key word here. Why come back to a dead site that's filled with bots and people who actually understand what 4chan, or general internet nerd culture once was?

Moot shouldn't come back, the site is effectively dead. I'm sure it pains him just as much as it does old users to see it's current state. I miss his community and the way he interacted with it as much as anyone but you have to just let the past go. Do you really want him dropping by to give the rotting fed bot farm a pat on the back? Just remember the good ol' days, they don't need constant affirmation.

No more nerds man, no more nerds.

@Blasterman Only half agree.

Here's the 20th anniversary hat if anyone wants it.

More like every board that got infected by /pol/ and /r9k/. It's literally just /qa/ refugees on their own imageboard after the entire board got nuked due to their gay hijinks.

I'd say any board that got infected by /leftypol/ or any other website like that really. /leftypol/ (Formerly of 8Chan, now part of leftypol.org) has been raiding 4chan for years because they were angry they weren't able to win arguments with the leftist bullshit on /pol/, so they went to 8Chan to create their own echochamber where they were heavily mocked because of all the retarded shit they would do, including raiding boards on 4chan in an attempt to take them over like /his/ and /lit/, before 8Chan went down and they created their own echochamber website called Bunkerchan.org which had a splitup over mod drama and became leftypol.org. Then you have /v/ which is being or is already colonized by ex-ResetEra users who agree with the ResetEra userbase on all but one minor thing that got them banned from ResetEra so they go to 4chan to try and turn /v/ into Era, and then you have r/gamingcirclejerk users who think they're in good company with the v-styled contrarianism and the ResetEra people. And then also you have /co/ which is constantly called "Tumblr's beach landing on 4chan", just to name a few.

I have an archive of very old Internet meme music I archived off the dead 7clams site. 7clams was a very weird imageboard I found at least 15 years ago because 7chan had hidden references to it in the page source code. It received maybe 1 post per month, tops. It was completely frozen in time and used an extremely ancient copy of ib software. Most of the posts were just people reminiscing about how fun the Internet used to be. At some point retards posted links to this on other IBs and it was flooded with garbage. The oldest posts on 7clams were literally 10 years old and every new thread deleted something truly ancient by Internet standards. So I guess the owner just got tired of it and killed it.

The only good threads are filename threads. Everything else was a mistake.

shartyniggers seething in this thread about a website being around 10 times as long as their gay dead board was able to float around for

 

[Hector Hamsteak]

lmao just about every "20 years" celebration thread across the whole site is just mourning what a shitshow the site has become.

hahah fuck and they are getting moved to /b/ for being offtopic

I'm still partial to the Storytimes in /co/ and /a/. The boards may be garbage fires, but they usually can stop and read along as OP shares a comic/manga with them. There's even an unspoken etiquette of not posting images until OP is done posting, and you get called out if you don't respect it.

Little islands of community and civility in these oceans of piss.

Anons put in more effort for the 20th year anniversary than the entire staff.

That's what I'm saying: 4chan is dead and the imageboards that have replaced it either have basically no posters and/or are lame retreads that really don't understand what made 4chan great in the first place. Yeah, saying crude, un-PC shit is definitely fun and the anonymity makes it that much better and allows you to express your true opinions rather than gay pleasantries, but it was a hobbyist site for people that like anime and other Japanese bullshit in addition to technology, guns and other nerdy things. Once you take any part of the equation out, the formula just doesn't work.

The Sharty is basically /qa/ zoomers trying to emulate what made 4chan fun without understanding it.

agreed, Sharty can be fun for shitposting but it's pointless to try to have any sort of actual conversation

 

[Dire Dire Cocks]

No because he's a faggot

I was right.

Only thing that comes to mind when it comes to celebrating 20 years.

As someone who knew about 4chan in my high school years but never went to the site in full, only to then lurk on there in my young adult years on the random boards like /a/, /b/, /tv/ and /pol/, I can actually sympathize with the oldchan wizards that wish the site was like what it used to be back in 2013.

Internet globalization was both a gift and a curse, and the latter looks more prevalent if 4chan continues to go on in the next 5 to 10 years.

Moot has zero incentive to ever come back. 4chan is not a profitable website to run. According to him the site either lost money or barely broke even for a decade. He was making little to nothing while having to deal with regular visits from the FBI whenever a retard threatened a mass shooting. I don't blame him at all for leaving. Especially since the entire site turned on him over GG. I think the site might be making a profit now with the 4channel but who knows. He got out at the perfect time.

Someone should just make KiwiChan a thing but it corrects any pro troon statements into YWNBAW.

 

[The Backwards Man]

Someone should just make KiwiChan a thing

Pedophiles would just ruin it, like they did with 9chan.

Fucking pedophiles ruin everything.

Came here to post the anniversary pic, but you beat me to it. Regardless, I have to clap - a festering den and hive of scum, bots, feds, NEETs, femboys, and villainy can last twenty years after all. Might as well post this:

[Mudkipcorn]

Yeah, it isn't what it used to be. But fuck you, I still like it.

 

[Jobama]

That’s it? That’s the 20th anniversary? moot betrayed us!

 

[NickDigger]

Guess it's not surprising moot or even gookmoot would do fuckall for the 20th. Site's basically a dumping ground for low effort shitposting, shills, ESLs, and redditors trying to be "edgy".

Occupy were immense movements all kick-started by 4chan.

4chan had fuckall to do with Occupy faggotry.

I really only used /fit/, /out/ and /vg/ when I used to use 4chan. There's way better fitness discussion on Twitter and /fph/ threads got stale.

/fit/ is embarrassing. Browsed there last month and it's mostly looksmaxing bullshit with anon's kvetching over shit like male pattern baldness and the rest is /r9k/ bullshit about attracting the opposite sex and bad fitness "advice".
