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 mean, there is one guy he could call.. One last rodeo.. Y'know, for old times sake..

Null, make adding mascots a permanent client-side feature and we'll love you forever.
Tons of potential. Off the top of my head:
  • BMJ slamming his fist on his desk or punching a hole in his wall
  • the gif of DSP turning around in front of a green screen like he's a big shot wrestler
  • the gunt wobble
  • Terry Davis dancing
  • Cobes puffing on a cigar
  • Chris Chan angry gesticulations
  • Rekeita nodding off with whiskey glass in hand
  • an OSRS character performing the dance emote
  • Elon doing a "cig hail"
  • Greer dancing
  • Sam Hyde as the Candyman yelling at the camera about Hasan Piker

Apparently these were the last two posts on qa according to a Twitter post

Immediately suggests selling the site to Gawker because he likes a girl working there (she doesn't reciprocate.)
Wait, what are the legal implications of forking the source code and making a new 4chan without trannies and Indians
This has been done in the past. The problem with running an altchan is federal agentschild pornographers will flood your site in a way that is impossible to moderate until you agree to stop competing and shut down, or allow federal agentsconcerned citizens administrative roles. Then the people assigned to those roles end up being far-left troons who only want to ERP with each other and "stop nazis", defeating the purpose of ever making the altchan in the first place.

There have been far better frontends for imageboards since forever, with better UI, multiple files per post, the works.
4chan is running on an abomination of a pirated framework hacked together by a teenage moot, with random shit slapped on it over the years and never updated.

The legal implications are that your new imageboard will have 4 users who are all moderators and you will be mysteriously spammed to death with CSAM in under a week. Not worth it, imageboards are a dying breed for a reason.
