Seems like Sharty has figured out which jannies/mods were assigned to which boards.

Isosceles, nostril, notgetting, PreciseV5, PurpleGoblin, scrubadour, Skarvola, sleepycat, TH0RN, Urist, Valais

Yeah didn't one of the admins at the time had to be banned by Moot because he started raiding /b/ with child porn because they started enforcing bans? I remember reading he started his own podcast or something in an old thread.

I have an ancient screengrab somewhere on my other machine of a 4chan ban notice for CP, with an offer to lift it if more CP gets emailed to the mod’s address.
Pretty sure big chunks of the mod team are nervous as cats at a rocking chair convention right about now.
EDIT: No it’s not my ban, it was someone else’s who posted it to /b/, I just realized how this post could be misinterpreted holy shit

Only insofar as many sharty users also have Kiwifarms accounts. Trying to do the "It was you all along!" Pointing when these things happen is utterly pointless in the social media age. The hacker(s) also almost certainly had Twitter accounts. Does that mean Twitter really did it?!

Also why it's a bit of a mistake to say "The Sharty" did the hack. The Sharty was where the hack was revealed and was the flag the attack was flown under, but as a collective group I doubt everyone on the Sharty was involved. I would be shocked if even 5 of them were involved.

This sort of "forum community" attribution to things like hacks, school shootings, swattings, etc is a part of human social psychology. When events happen we never think in terms of what individual did the thing. It's always the tribal group.

That said, I am noticing the Farms starting to catch strays on the social media, but that is more because people are compiling the information here and digging into it. The structure of this forum simply works better for that task. So naturally the assumption follows that the collective "kiwifarms" is involved. Even though the forums involvement is what the forum always does when something interesting happens.

So how do I clone the 4chan codebase and get a local copy running on my local machine?

I see this 'imgboard.php' file, but what about all the other files being included/required such as all the ones in 'lib', where/how do I get a copy of the database, etc etc?

EDIT: Here's 'imgboard.php'. Interesting how it's 10,000 lines of code and a mumbled, jumbled mess of code, but there it is:
But can't do too much else with it other than just look at it, it's not enough to get a local copy of 4chan cloned and running on my local machine.

EDIT AGAIN: Nevermind I'm retarded. Found the full source code here:
I still don't have a local copy running on my machine, because I haven't found a dump of the database anywhere, but at least I have the full PHP codebase source code, which is fun to snoop around in.

Inb4 that's not Null he would never. It just so happens to be a user larping as a woman who agrees with everything Null says, doesn't post when Null is on vacation, who Null always agrees with. It's not my job to prove the former 8chan mod might be just doing gay forum bullshit. A self proclaimed mid 30s male feminist would never.
