I’ve rarely used boards outside of /fit/ in years. I feel like the quality there has gone down enormously,
Just curious - was /cbt/ (That is "current body thread" for you dirty minded folks) still completely overtaken by some kind of discord group worshipping some random fat hairy faggot called "kam"?
That's what I remember seeing there when i last tried to use the board at a few points some years ago.
3-4 people schizoposting literally 24/7 and calling one guy among themselves - "kam" - the "most powerful being on /fit/ by far"
 
This was the exploit apparently:

Even if the hacker doesn't have user data, this was still a security failure on so many levels. This will go down as one of the biggest fuckups in internet history. Just put down the Hot Pockets and update your shit.
 
It's upsetting seeing all of the old internet culture sites. Gamefaqs, YTMND, Somethingawful being taken over by 4chan while 4chan hasn't been relevant in a decade and a half outside the Trump stuff. With the Zoomers growing up with TikTok and Reddit I think it's safe to say the internet of old will never come back. I remember Spacehey was supposed to replace Myspace and it failed to take off, I feel that will happen with any alt chan that tries coming from this.
 
People have brought this up already, but 4chan really needs thread specific tripcodes, like on /pol/ and /biz/ on all boards. I can understand how flags might take away from some discussions, but I can't tell you how many threads I've seen get derailed becasue people can't keep track of who is who.
You mean IDs? Threads getting derailed because of everyone thinking everyone is a samefag is half of the fun.

Sure thing, here's a copy-paste ready, long and hilariously unhinged Hawk Tuah post formatted for a KiwiFarms 4chan thread (and packed with dank meme references like NPC Wojaks, Sigma grinds, and Rizalinity charts). You can drop this directly into the thread and watch it go nuclear:




Anonymous 04/15/25(Fri) No.69696969


be me
browsing /b/, hungover, dehydrated, balls stuck to leg
see a thread titled "Hawk Tuah Girl is peak feminine energy"
click it, expecting bait
instead get baptized in the gospel of the TUAAAHHHHH

some anon drops the video of her mid-interview
chick straight up summons the spirit of Ric Flair, goes


"HAAAWK TUAAHHH"
and I swear to God my speakers start moisturizing the drywall

immediate reaction from the thread:


  • NPC wojaks malding
  • giga chad edits calling it the “Sound of Riz”
  • some absolute Sigma lunatic drew a diagram comparing her spit arc to the JFK bullet trajectory
  • another anon wrote "this is why women live longer, because they’re dodging accountability and launching guided mucus missiles"

/fit/ bros chiming in:


“her throat got that hydraulic pressure head-to-valve ratio, I NEED her to spit on my bench press for PR”

one guy calculated the PSI of the TUAAHH and claims she’s Class 4 OSHA non-compliant — her spit can degrease a diesel engine
some anon just typed "gawr gura wish she had that kinda splash damage" and got 12 (You)s instantly


memes posted:


  • “This mf just dropped the TUAAH and dipped 💀
  • Dr. Manhattan staring at Earth like "She is about to TUAAHH in 3… 2…"
  • Sigma grindset chart with her at the top labeled “Spit God Tier”
  • Drake meme: top panel rejecting “a kiss on the forehead,” bottom panel excited for “Hawk Tuah on my clavicle”

theory thread forms:


anons arguing she’s an ancient weapon, like Pluton from One Piece
someone says the TUAAH is the brown note for incels, activated only when she senses 12+ Discord mods within 1 mile

somebody tried to diss her saying she’s gross
immediate response:


  • screenshot of him with a Reddit “cake day” flair
  • followed by 3 anons replying “skill issue”
  • then a Pepe with "YOU FEAR WHAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND"

another anon posted:


“bro if she TUAAHed in ancient Mesopotamia they’d rename the Tigris to the Spitgris

someone claims his phone bricked after watching the clip
another said his cat became Catholic
one said he levitated, but like the chill Buddhist kind not the creepy demon kind


final post in the thread (probably a mod):


“THREAD LOCKED: Server room flooded from collective TUAAHH splashback, janitor electrocuted”

anyway
i think I’m in love
or maybe I just have bronchitis now




🔥 Top comment suggestion to farm (You)s:


“If she don’t go HAWK TUAAH before giving head, that’s a 🚩.”



Let me know if you want a shitpost image to pair with it.

ok so this wont happen, but
what if the jannies just caved? reinstated /qa/ and became less retarded for moderation, and dropped just banning for post-history and annoyance and for actual things
what if we won?
Thats the best scenario so it won’t happen. Mods are too stubborn and lazy. They’ll either make a shitty altchan with the leaked source code or go on business as usual being okay with the users knowing they’re all unironic faggots and trannies

Honestly I don't know if I should actually laugh or cry. Of all the things that brought 4chan down to such a level....it was a PDF exploit on the handful of boards that even had the function at all.

Truly embarrassing. If 4chan EVER comes back soon, everyone should never let the jannies and mods live it down.
 
I'll miss /x/ because it's where I like to go to look at schizos in the wild and see scary jpgs, but frankly, even /x/ has rapidly declined in quality over the last, heck, 5 years. It wasn't that long ago that it had actual content. I'll miss you, /x/. The rest can get fucked.
it was much better when it was mainly greentexts about seeing a wendigo in the woods, creepypastas and short stories of that type, and people trying to figure out how to summon a succubus rather than being the nobody general and the several other dozen offshoots of that where the threads are so schizophrenic they look like they were made by a generative AI
