They're anonymous posts, for all you know it's indians.
Not really related but recently I had my Truman Show experience with Indians online and I need to share it.
I was watching a video on Youtube about the history of DMA Design, it had interviews with original developers that worked on Lemmings and Body Harvest and the original GTA, and talked about the management fuckery and failed deals with Nintendo that led to the Take-Two buyout and being reformed into Rockstar North.
Every other comment on that video was a variation of
Sir you forgot Rockstar India sir biggest studio in Bangalore India saar made Red Dead 2 sir most 3D modellers the animal AI sir very impressive graphics company
Motherfuckers this wasn't a video about modern Rockstar, where did you come from

Anyone have a favorite attentionwhore lolcow they used to see on the 4crap?
Could be a name/trip/avatarfag/ faggot you recognize because his autism compels him to ritualpost?
Nico Sperg. He was a guy who would have these chris-chan tier ramblings about Captain Beefheart being bad and religiously defending Can whenever they were mentioned. The guy would insert himself in literally every thread and while annoying, he was hilariously autistic.


Abatap too

Know I'm late to the party, but the biggest revelation for me about this is that the site has been essentially on autopilot since moot left. Sort of knew that before, but didn't know it extended to the site's very code itself.

Perhaps 4chan needs its prodigal son, moot, to return and fix the site.
You're going to be really surprised when you enter the business world to realize that literally everything is running on decades old code that everyone is afraid to touch.
 
4chan is losing relevance, and the problem is with the moderation. But the only one who can solve that problem is the admin himself, who might as well be on a different planet. That is really the fundamental problem, the lack of an active admin. All sites are somewhat expressions of their admin.
 
true, but this why the complaint of the mods and jannies is so succinct and correct and over target.
eh. not gonna lie, reading most of the complaints a huge amount of them boil down to purely uneven moderation where they can't believe they got banned for being a disruptive nigger while seeing some other people get away with it(who probably aren't really getting away with it, they're just a multi-boxing schizo ban evading before the ban even happens).
Which, to be fair, is a completely valid complaint. Just, like, I dunno, maybe if you didn't act like a disruptive nigger you wouldn't be experiencing it in the first place?

Not defending the jannies here. They're massive fucking fagets and a lot of the hate over uneven moderation is entirely justified. Just saying that there seems to be a lot of complaints from people with main character syndrome thinking they're being singled out and not realizing why what they did was retarded and that the whole thing would be a non-issue if they just tried to play nicely with everyone else in the sandbox rather than digging a hole and taking a shit in it.
 
And how do you know that those posts are not made by millennials? They're anonymous posts, for all you know it's indians.
Believe it or not you can read someones age after about five posts
It becomes real obvious when you get defensive, because zoomers get defensive over the tiniest shit
And most of you admit the moment you call anyone over 30 years old a boomer
Males tend to stop sounding like a bitching teen when they post around age 28
By this comparison, it's reaaal obvious when you are under 20
The choice of words and sentence structure, reaction to hostility or being challenged are all signs of a posters age

Would you like to hear my guesstimate about how many mentally challenged man children and under 18 years posters are all over /pol/ not counting obvious shill farm posters?
 
also another unpopular opinion: i don't get the doomer "4chan is so shit now its ruined its unsalvageable what's the point" crowd.
it was always a shit hole, sure the specific flavor of the shit may have changed over time but at its core its still mostly the same thing and the same place.
sure being part of something bigger than yourself like the whole shia capture the flag shit or chanology are fun, but you can't expect to have shit like that be happening constantly.
at the end of the day its about people just shooting their shit into the internet void, be it baiting, getting baited, complete schizo nonsense or genuine heartfelt discussion depending on their mood and wants at that moment.
the janny trannies banning people for absolute bs is obviously the biggest nuisance, but even that at the end of the day mostly just a minor annoyance of catching strays here and then.
 
Millenials literally have no actual argument on zoomers beyond 'lol they're so inept'. You're all tranny freaks or have tranny souls.

I will always be bitter that so many forums shut down or were replaced with a discord link.

As someone said, the good thing is gookmoot didn't fuck with the site much, the bad thing is gookmoot didn't fuck with the site much. This resulted in janitors taking over, or chronically being asleep.
All he ever had to do was modernize the site. There were plug-and-play imageboard backends sitting out in the open, but somehow he stuck with the same rotting PHP spaghetti for years. At least he finally got his Coursera cybersecurity certificate. Maybe now he understands what a port is.

I’ve made my living cleaning up, fixing, and modernizing this old shit and I don’t think there’s enough money they could offer to make me want to fix 4chan after seeing how bad it was.

Zoomers ruined the site starting around 2017 because none of you have the attention span to do your own research and you demand everyone spoon-feed you so 99% of discussions get shit up by your sea lioning baby bird trolling whether intentional or not
You are the generation bumping every screencap or obviously stupid and pointless question threads that have a slut as an image
rich coming from a generation that has never discipled zoomers to do anything of value. Maybe if you fags were at the very least courteous about their presence instead of just immediately villifying them, they wouldn't have become braindead shitposters who see no value in the things you grew up with. It was your generation’s fault that zoomers turned out the way they did. You fags basically left them to their own devices while they were growing up. You knew they were being raised with garbage content on their smartphones. You knew it was detrimental to their development, but you fags never intervened. Millenilols only have themselves to blame if zoomers went full Duchamp on them because they never taught on anything you hold near and dear. Lord knows what Gen Alpha is gonna unleash to the world. Those kids grew up on tiktok and cocomelon.

Because it's a smoking gun to a conspiracy and fear many of us have had; that the site was basically just being ran like edgier Reddit.
Not only had the quality of the site and it's users tanked, all the fears of bots, shills, janny cabals and inner circles have all been confirmed. Alot of people outside of desperate addicts aren't going to want to deal with that shit.

At that point just go to Reddit. Same basic fucking experience.

moot had already mentally checked out from running 4chan by ~2012-2013. FaggotApe has been in control since then on day to day operations.

You could just grab any of the imageboard stuff that's out there now and say you fixed it. I'd do that for a hot lunch and a mid-sized paycheck.
