How'd you do that

 

[Breadbassket]

Trying to beat all of @Breadbassket's rude post and ominous "you're here forever" with my nice post welcomes. It ain't much, and it ain't work.

4chan refugees deserve some honesty.

Is this for true because wrestlemania is on Saturday and Sunday and I genuinely can’t handle not having that website on those days. Can somebody who actually knows how any of this shit works actually tell me if this might take weeks to fix?

Let me explain it in terms you understand.

This is like when Chris Benoît finally snapped and the month aftermath of all that

 

[Sugriva]

they would probably even outright ban mentions to the hack

oh absolutely. they're not going to allow mention of anything related to the hack. your posts will be obliterated if you so much as try to mention a janny by name.

 

[Psychobabble]

This thread needs to be marked plagued.

8chan is trannyjanny cabal version 2.0. They're arguably worse

I do not disagree, I just glanced at some to see if they got some refugees.

I'm simply here for the shitshow. Lolcow gossip and gangstalking don't really appeal to me.

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?

Null, the KF admin and who also used to run a chan in the past gave his opinion

 

[Black Yoshi]

Does anybody have any idea much longer the blackout is gonna last?

This is the end, they'll probably string you along with "we'll be back soon" posts but then one day they'll ghost you. Then one day out of the blue they'll nut up and officially announce that it's dead.

From what I've read they're primarily targeting jannies,

I doubt anyone will shed a tear over it. Attached is a meme about the jannies on /lgbt/. Not a board I frequented since it was essentially /x/ with trannies, but it's a sentiment you'd find about jannies on basically every board. No interest in preserving actual discussion, but instead protecting shitposters and even banning users who criticized their lack of moderation. I wouldn't be surprised if we learn a good amount of spam came from janny ips.

 

[boosy]

When the site comes back online, most jannies will bail, only the most dedicated power hungry fags will stay,

That is every janny. There are no good jannies. *spits*

Maybe I should post there to remind the refugees that 8chan.se has a /zoo/ board hosting animal abuse porn.

Anywhere I can dig into this more? That's fascinating if true.

I learned about Reddit being a psy op from a flesh simulator video.

 

[Shrek]

Oh God there are already refugees flooding in….

Don't worry they'll inevitably filter into Articles & News

 

[Willow Singe’s Secrets]

I think anyone that created an account in April 15 2025 should have a permanent pink triangle.

Yeah unfortunately the moe site isn't the legacy 8chan, it's ran by all the people that made it shitty. Probably the closest thing I've seen for legacy 8chan is the actual webring but it's a slow burn there.

 

[COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST]

/k/'s actual problem was the endless Ukraine war posting and the r/noncredibledefense refugees.

/k/'s actual problem were NAFO troons and people paid by the US government (janitors included) to keep cheerleading Ukraine at all costs.

 

[Fruttasecca]

Even if it comes back how are mods going to deal with the endless mockery and spam? Because mind you they didnt get "hacked" by some 14 year old boy from Pakistan (unlike this digital Fort Knox) but the fucking sharty of all places. Anon will never let them live this down, its just going to be constant reminders that /qa/ won and lots of ´jaks to boot, in the first few weeks its going to drown out any other discussion.
Mods fucking hate the sharty so what are they gonna do? They are not going to reopen /qa/ thats for sure. Are they gonna implement even stricter moderation banning anybody making fun of them? 24 hour timer for new IPs?
The fallout from that nuclear own might just kill the site for good, then its really just going to be bots botting bots. Good riddance I guess.

 

[OhShitWatNao]

It'll be back. The problem is what fucking state it will be in when all is said and done.

I mean, it's not like imageboards have "content" to speak of, it's just a DB skeleton. People finding their way into stuff and going rageDELETE goes back to the earliest bulletin boards. No reason that the same posters wouldn't just resume their shitposting the second it's back online.
