Null recently upgraded the forum software or something and there's been some growing pains.
xenforo is a piece of shit. i haven't had a chance to do a diagnostic on why that happens, but it appears to only happen if your post triggers the "Messages have been posted since you loaded this page" alert. I'm not sure if that's accurate.
Well, the fact that the staff is actually upgrading and maintaining the site is already a plus. I think in 20 days I will forget that 4chan even exists.
 
I am very certain his first name is Thomas.
Thomas Brooke probably

I can't even with the zero-punctuation gang. I don't even disagree. But christ, my man... the commas are free you can take them home, but don't keep them all for yourself.


I'd generally refer you to use your eyes. If those fail you but you own a screen reader, refer to the internet and tech board-thing.
I find it cute how everyone here is *intentionally* rude, thinking this is newfag repellant in the big 2025 and I appreciate that.
I never used KF and the last forum I used was ironically the FreeBSD forums. I'm used to a top bar showing me everything I want to see. This site is a bit more segregated.
 
Talking about shit we missed round 2014-2016 there was a general made dedicated to listening to Chicongo police scanners. Best thread I caught on the shithole known as /pol/.
Favourite call was a "White Male in a pink shirt brandishing a baseball bat and threatening to Kill Niggers."
Dude I remember the Chicago police general, that and the HFGCS general were cozy as fuck.
 
I'm sure it's already been said, however is anyone else surprised that /x/ only had two mods? One of the most unhinged and fedpost laden subs had two likely tinfoil had wearing mongs sweeping it up in there.
It appears there is a definite statistical correlation. The fewer the tranny jannies on a board, the better the content.
 
Actually, looking more into this email I found this data:

Email
thomas.kirbythestarwarrior.bro@googlemail.com
Name
Thomas Brooke
Dob
1983-03-21
Address
GB
Social
100001406540869
Database Name
MindJolt

Which claims that his name is Thomas Brooke from the UK. His leaked IP geolocates to the US (according to my service literally virginia and DC lol) but obviously that doesn't mean much.


Oops, thread going so fast I didn't see @Flaming Dumpster 's post. Good stuff, just need to find him now.
 
I will agree about missing /sp/. Great active threads during live events with lots of healthy bantz and shitposting. Very on topic board with little of the cancer that gradually made the rest of the site a dumpster fire. I don't care if the rest is gone, even though there were still other boards I used those ones are replaceable.
yep. specially pisses me off as we're close to the middle of my sport's season when the bants and shitposting really gets good and then this fucking shit happens.

I've been out of the loop with chan culture for a good while now. What's up with so many of the jannies being outed as deviant freaks? Granted winding up as a janitor for a site where the venn diagram of pedophiles, extremists, shitposters, and the mentally ill overlap to the point of being a circle puts you high in the running for the most dysfunctional spastic on earth. But you'd think they'd exercise some degree of caution in keeping their janny identities separate from the rest of their diseased antics. If for no other reason than pure shame.
To be fair the vast majority of the leaked janny emails and usernames don't come up in search meaning most of them were smart enough to create a throwaway. Out of 219 entries ignoring the publicly known mods and admins I've found around 20 on other sites and only a few of them are worth mentioning due to degeneracy or just being funny to think that person is a 4chan janitor. The others were pretty boring/normal people. A few such examples:

aka "RubixCube"
Jannies on /hr/ /soc/ /vg/ /vm/
Has public youtube, instagram, tumblr, xitter, twitch
Only saw a few cosplay pics on instagram but didn't look degenerate enough for me to keep digging

aka "ChomskyHonk"
Jannies on /toy/ /tv/ /v/
Has public youtube, instagram, xitter, twitch
This one had his voice and hand showing on a now privated video, revealing a fruity sounding but otherwise normal nerdy black dude

aka "LampBook"
Jannies on /adv/ /biz/ /gif/ /soc/ /vmg/ /vst/ /vt/
Has public youtube + some other sites that don't matter
Seems like a normal car enthusiast dude, maybe looks a bit nerdy and possibly asian from the videos where you can see parts of his face
 
Are you retarded? If you had ever spent 10 seconds on /pol/ you'd know 90% of the posters are American. How could you not tell it came from a photoshopped screenshot and could be disproven immediately by just checking 4plebs yourself? So then the question is why you care about who supposedly posts on /pol/ the most often when you've obviously never step foot in there yourself
Sneeduck
 
I wasn't around /sp/ but they were so bad that they kickstarted the current janny memes about hot pockets and the dog from Arthur.
/sp/ was great. It was like the bar/bro culture board. You'd talk about sports mostly, but the off-topics threads with that community were just golden. The Christmas day threads were legendary - but now you get banned for even posting Craigsmas.

The board turned into a general filled shit hole. There was nothing separating it from a subreddit at that point. Every single fucking minor soccer team has a thread but God forbid you make a power rankings post (a staple of that board since inception). Total Janny death for what they did to /sp/.
