Plagued 4chan - the Internet hate machine

[William F. Clinton]

Calling it now: every janny's name will be filtered when the site comes back up.

Also does anyone have any idea wtf was up with the situation on /x/? There were multiple gay generals that kept getting spammed on the board IE "succubus general" "nobody general" etc etc. To be fair the former had some form of discussion but the latter was 24/7 the same schizos posting over and over again insane babble. At one point people rumored it was botted with an LLM but in that case why tf did they not ban the fucker? Absolutely ruined the board.

/x/ hasn't been usable for several years. It is was practically all self-discovery/manifestation threads. There was the occasional exciting antarctic thread, but otherwise, there was hardly any discussion on real paranormal stuff.

Youtubers are already pumping slop essays about 4chan even tough they never used it geg

This was happening on /v/, around the time the Blue Protocol shutdown was announced I was seeing my own posts copied in later threads.

People rumored it was some janny or mod who was doing it, one particular suspect was some faggot furry second life guy who apparently self doxxed multiple times who went under the handle "Eris Omniquery". I don't see any of his handles on the dump so if it was him he's not in the moderation team directly. Old /b/tard from Portland iirc. Maybe we should see if he's related to these retards for real lol.

To all of the 4channers, this is a good time - or maybe in a rare while to go OUTSIDE to finally get that GF.
But who am I kidding? They never will.

I have one but I'm legally required to stay at least 20 feet away from her.

The absolute state of the 4chan backend is just turbo laziness. There's no good excuse. "We're too scared to do anything, so we did nothing". Somehow they're able to fuck around with CAPTCHA and 4chan passes though.

Is that really the excuse they've given? They were worried they would break something so they just didn't update the site in 15 years?

Github would take it down in one thrembosecond

The only time I ever saw github move THAT quick was when someone made an FFXIV plugin that could link characters to account IDs through a flaw with in-game blacklist changes. There's still copies of Windows leaks up.

This shouldn't be surprising. It's a country that still uses fax machines, floppy disks, and Yahoo - a time capsule.

I think the "stereotype" came from mainly Tokyo, and probably only Tokyo. Tourists visiting Tokyo (the capital) and going "Wowza! It's le heckin advanced!" While the rest of Japan still uses CRT TVs
Also, parents let their 6 year old children to wander the streets alone. From what is known about japanese citizens, I wouldn't be surprised if one of those children got raped to death.

Heres Mumbai India. Their capital looks "rich". Although unsurprisingly, it's known as the asshole of the world. I don't have to explain why India is known for being a literal shithole (Designated Shitting Streets, Scammers, Rape, Child Rape, etc.)

The users will most likely go to discord

Discord is awful even without the trannyism. I've had multiple communities shutter their sites/forums and take it to discord instead, I tried to migrate with them but ultimately just dropped out, the whole setup is cringe. I'd sooner join the sharty.

Okay, I edited the summary and featured it. If it's missing anything let me know.

The 2025 4chan Hack​

On April 15th a Sharty member posted screenshots on the /soy/ board of 4chan's moderation panels, database (using phpMyAdmin), and the private janitor board, making it clear he had gained access to 4chan's restricted moderation areas as well as full database access.

The hack exploited a vulnerability in the PDF file upload feature on specific boards (/gd/, /po/, /qst/, /sci/, /tg/) by uploading malicious PostScript which was not properly checked and was processed by an outdated 2012 version of Ghostscript to generate thumbnails. This allowed...

Thanks. I edited one little section to mention that it was specifically the PDF file upload feature on those boards that was the vector of attack

 

[COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST]

Also, parents let their 6 year old children to wander the streets alone. From what is known about japanese citizens, I wouldn't be surprised if one of those children got raped to death.

I think Japanese people let their kids wander freely because Japan has a really, really low level of crime in the countryside.

Sorry I'm more of a "stalk and harass women online" kind of guy

Btw I hope you guys didn't forget about the new content cuck episode today

I remember when people would post cool shit and innawoods stories. Looking back 4chan is like that series of paintings of Rome, we're definitely in the last stage

Github would take it down in one thrembosecond

Fortunately, git, being an open source tool, there's plenty of free, ready-to-run git hosting solutions someone could set up without having to fear that Microsoft jannies would instantly sweep up the repo.

 

[shitboxx]

Pretty wild that /b/ of all boards had no jannies assigned to it, meaning it was the sole responsibility of the moderators and admins to keep it from becoming a cesspit of porn threads. Even more wild knowing that during the recent april fools prank, the same threads were being posted on /b/ even though the board was an unusable wasteland of shitposting at the time, almost as if it was bots shitting up the board the whole time.

If you look through this thread you will see many instances of people discussing the horrible jannies on 4chan. Those generals are a perfect example of a janny pet project. That and the constant BBC posting on boards and all the tranny shit and constant allowing of trolls while deleting on topic threads. All that was down to the horrid moderation.

moderators and admins to keep it from becoming a cesspit of porn threads.

Which it was. Including but not limited to multiple pedo threads.

 

[Shitoko]

I think Japanese people let their kids wander freely because Japan has a really, really low level of crime in the countryside.

And a really low charge and conviction rate. The punishment for rape in Japan is probably really lenient.

 

[BigPeanut]

I think they all just got doxed.

phonebooking is such a gay term I'm sorry

Agreed, anyone using this cringe newspeak is fucking gaaaaay. Don’t care if daddy nool said to use it.
