I know it's not going to happen, but I wish this incident could be a catalyst to clean up and get rid of all the garbage jannies, get rid of that 900 second bullshit. I just want old 4chan back.
We're never having anything "old" back. The world is run by progressives who hate everything that's older than ten years old except when it's kids.
 
They targeted jannies.

JANNIES.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end deleting some of the shittiest, most mentally retarded posts. Over, and over, and over all for nothing.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we do it for free.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time banning racism outside of /b/ all to own the chuds who still live in 2006.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the threads, all day, the same posts over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know every little detail such that some have attained such janny nirvana that they can literally scrub these threads blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many hot pockets were eaten, racist posts deleted, Boards shut down in frustration? All to latter be referred to as doing it for free?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our boards? We're already recovering a backup. They doxx us? Jannies aren't shy about their power, that's why we use .edu emails. They think calling us troons, niggers, pedo apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty VPN. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challenge when they tell us we do it for free. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with posters laughing at how pathetic we are that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Jannies are competitive, hard core, by nature. We love doing it for free. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challenge us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another BBC spam.
 
No joke, I tried to load the page on the Sharty where they were discussing 4chan getting hacked on /news/ and it’s taking too long to load. I hope they didn’t hack themselves.
 
I don't think anyone truly gives a shit at this point.

Not really.I’ve extracted a lot of entertainment and keks and useful information off of there but it’s like a good friend who’s fondly remembered but died.

But the management is openly hostile to its users, and I’m pretty casual as in, I’d skim the catalog almost every day same as I do KF (but I don’t always log into KF, and I don’t always feel a need to reply to a 4chan thread.)

And then when I have wanted to, that fucking timer either starts over and I now have to wait 1800s to reply- or the thread has been nuked and purged by some butthurt tranny already and I fucking wasted my time waiting for nothing. It’s little wonder the place went to the weeds when there was only people who literally have no job and nothing better to do left.

I’m just trying to squeeze in a shitpost while I’m unceremoniously wolfing down a sandwich on my break , and I can’t pull it off anymore. And then my cell carriers banned from uploading photos it just goes on and on and on, it’s an unusable site.

/pol/ isn’t what it was. All that’s left of it is brown shit skins in the third world wanting white people to read and amplify their stupid fucking grievances.

Ofc I feel sad for the users , shutins, /x/ schizos, and /lgbt/‘oids that are so horribly unpassable and unfuckable and mentally unstable that even bluesky won’t have them- and hope they all find each other and a new home somewhere. But TJD, Total Janny Death, fuck those assholes, they deserve all of this.

I only used /lit/, it was a good board. ;(
we have a few good book threads, but last I went in them was last year, so you newfags might have to necro.

but we do have some very nice threads in art & literature. We also have some nice comic threads, for both DC and marvel, but its mostly everyone (including me) depression posting about how our hobby is dying
 
I noticed that Hiro, who’s usually decently active, hasn’t posted on Twitter in almost 24 hours or since the site got hacked. I think that he might actually be getting involved right now.

Before I realized the site was hacked, I assumed they listened to posters and had brought back /qa/ as a sort of blue /b/ board. Those last few hours of the April Fools event were hilarious; it was sad seeing /b/ return to its porn-ridden state afterwards. It's obviously naive for me to have expected a board to be added for any means beyond gookmoots usual containment zone philosophy.
