It's not JUST that, though. The insane amount of moderators just were not around when it mattered (gore/CP spam), but showed up when someone suggested that Biden might not be banging on all cylinders.
Your argument is true as well, though. I've literally seen a communism shill thread (not even thinly veiled) where they banned everyone who argued against it for posting off-topic, and left the thread alive.

I got banned once because I posted "Kamala lost" in a /v/ thread where 99.999% of replies were political in nature ( It was a Helldivers 2 thread).

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?

No, I made it up. There's no good excuse. Well, apparently the excuse from RapeApe is "we were gonna but we didn't do it fast enough". Wanna guess how many months they've paid for a rack of servers that have sat unused? I bet far too many. They're running ancient FreeBSD, zero maintenance. They're clearly scared that it'll just fucking explode if they run updates.

Yeah, I'd imagine most 4channers are amused and possibly feel avenged on some level with the jannydox.

I was mostly bored without 4chan up, but the janny and mod humiliation on display here has provided me with ample enough schadenfreude to pass the time. I just can't decide between thinking the jannies and mods deserved it, or if they deserved worse.

a reasonable fear considering if you got every single system administrator in the entire kiwifarms together to try to do it we most likely could not do it in 60 days

FreeBSD 10.1 came out in 2014, under moot's rule. He sold the site in September 2015. It went EOL in December 2016. Nobody touched those servers after he left.

Did anyone here ever have the displeasure of reading/posting in the Guitar and Bass General threads on /mu/? There was a schizo there who dedicated almost a decade of his life to the 24/7 killing of conversations and general shit-flinging on those threads. The sheer determination of this singular person was impressive, he didn't even take breaks on holidays. He would run everyone off the threads then pretend to be multiple people and have conversations with himself until people started coming back. If things got too boring he would venture on over to the boards other generals like /metal/ and /prod/ and stir up shit there for a bit, but generally he liked to stay in the guitar threads.

If you posted a picture of any guitar that wasn't a Gibson Les Paul or made in America Fender he would accuse you of being a Brazilian. If he saw people having cordial conversations he would pretend to be one of the posters and say something rude. If you ignored him he would pretend to be you then reply to himself. If you flung shit back, even better because now you're contributing to the thread being a steaming pile of shit. When the general would inevitably slow down to a crawl because everyone left he would repeat phrases like "I win" over and over again.

The part that I always found weirdest is that he would never seem to get banned, in fact people speaking out against him would get banned, which he would gloat about whenever it happened. When making new threads jannies would delete legitimate ones and leave up his low effort troll OP's. I always thought this was an anomaly until reading about the very similar experiences of others on boards like /vg/, which I never really went on. Basically confirms in my mind that the jannies were intentionally trying to make the place as unusable as possible.
