What I'm curious about and haven't found anything in the janny archives about is if they gave any special pass to specific companies to shill on the site.
Do they even mention it?

tell the faggot to unlock /qa/ unless he already did so feel free to react me with :late:
He did unlock it but the entire site was shut down very shortly after. There are a bunch of screenshots on the sharty thread of /qa/ being reopened and ty did some playful vandalism on the front page too, I would find them for you but sadly the entire sites traffic is being raped with a spear at the moment
 
4chan is kill? I'm happy, I've been browsing it since 2011 and I know faggots go HURR DURR IT WAS NEVER GOOD and I disagree, /b/ was actually random and not just shitskins porn begging, I remember one thread a guy lost his pitbull and then he found it knotted a tanuki/raccoon (I forget which).

Jeets and SEAniggers coupled with trannies mutilated the site, this was a mercy killing. RIP in peace.
/b/ was like 90% porn.

Asking for nudes from different states, the fucking lolicon and cub and shota shit, all the faggotry threads.
 
So, I wonder what else the Soyteen has access to, aside from Janny info. Would he have any access to information regarding the posters on there? Only reason I ask is because a few years ago, there was a murderer who posted previously private gore pictures of one of his victims. Curious to know if it’s possible to pull any data from where that post came from.

If it’s a dumb question, I apologize. I just know if there was someone doing that on this site, they’d be arrested knowing Josh would cooperate with authorities on the matter.
nah not a dumb question. 4chan does retain archived posts and details about those posts, but it doesn't retain them for very long, a lot of info is lost once it hits archive. Even more once the post is deleted.

Gore, especially that of a murder victim, falls under GR1. If it got deleted, it was likely banned and the post was forwarded to the FBI.

that info would have contained a device fingerprint, ip address, reverse lookup, country code, etc. All info that law enforcement could use to identify who posted it and from there they can just do their usual search and seizure.
 
HAHAHA Get fucked /b/trannies, your website died after noot sold the site to the chink.

Any decisions like that would have been made by admins, they wouldn't be posting about it on that board.
 
Well, I'm never catching up on this thread now. I seriously doubt this is the end, but if it is then I have alternative venues I regularly use for the same topics anyway. This is optimistic, but good riddance really.
 
Call me a faggot but this is just retarded. Literally what does any of this acheive other than bringing it down for a few hours and inconveniencing basically everyone in the process because terminally online underage teenagers are still malding over the /qa/ board being wiped on their favorite forun designed entirely around a forced meme that hasn't been funny in years
edit: THE FUCKING PERFECT TIMING ON THIS, HOLY SHIT

i have zero interest in running an imageboard. my work with imageboards was one of the most painful experiences of my life. completely thankless suffering. you wade through oceans of child porn just to have people yell at you constantly. 9chan basically skewered all my idealism.
You should've known how that was gonna turn out after failing to instate 8chanext. Certainly wasn't gonna get better with blackjack and hookers.

It’s still really crazy how one of the most important people in the history of the internet just up and left and no one really cares. Ever since he joined google he has not posted anywhere on the internet. He really went from being terminally online to not posting in a decade.
I think it just goes to show how much Gamergate and the /pol/ shit that followed after really kinda did his reputation in, to the point where it's all complete apathy to anything he does. Nice for normal people, sure, but wasn't this dude constantly trying to get websites and services off the ground? That felt like the impetus for selling off 4chan in the first place.

Instead of running another option is to do only the hosting.

The “all images must be moderator approved” or “pay one dollar in crypto to post” are effective filters.
 
it'll probably take them a very long time to get the site back up. I feel like they don't really have a responsible server administrator, and whoever is fixing this is basically going to need to:
1. Reformat the entire device.
2. Reinstall 4chan.
3. Restore 4chan's database to the last save state, if available.

But who is the person responsible for this? Does anyone know how to do this? They're running it on FreeBSD, last updated in 2019. Does ANYONE Hiroyuki has contact with actually know how 4chan actually works right now, enough to completely reformat a server and get this running?
I think there is no sysadmin
Site's been running on inertia. Mods' knowledge goes as far as updating the php files (whoever's been doing that doesn't even know regexes btw). None of them have any idea how to run a server.
And, as I've suspected for years, Hiroshima Nagasaki's not running the site at all. He has to step in eventually but he's an entrepreneur, not a sysadmin, he has no idea what the fuck he should do now.
 
Tomorrow its going be really retarded seeing how the press tries to report on this or better yet I could see some retard like musk going "ILL BUY IT AND FIX IT" or some dumb shit like that. I do wonder where all the feds and jeets that make up /pol/, /g/ and /biz/ are going to go, though.
I really hope this isn't another Tumblr situation, and all the Feds and Jeets flee to other platforms, shitting them up even further.
