>As for when the site will be back (and it will be back), "We get there when we get there". Obviously we have a lot of work ahead of us with respect to patching holes and updating software, so please bear with us. Maybe catch up on your backlog, watch some anime, play some vidya, and enjoy this extended break from reports and shitposting.

They will string us along with a similar sentiment but as the months go by the updates will grow further apart. Then sometime in 2026 or 2027 they'll just go ahead and say it's gone. A similar timeline occurred when SheezyArt died.

If it goes longer than 30 days then I say it’s safe to say it’s over

...Have you guys heard of a guy called DSP?

Not sure what you're implying here. It sounds to me like you're implying that all discussion of DSP is somehow suppressed and every post or thread about DSP is deleted. But there is an entire DSP subforum just for discussing every aspect of DSP's recorded life.

I wonder how the archives like desu and arch are handling this. It'd be a shame if they went down too, especially the archives of the /co/ storytime threads.

Arch is still up.
At this point some of the archive sites were so consistent and reliable with what they do, anyone running one of them could create a replacement 4chan and it'd have a decent chance of taking off.

Let's make it a Half Life 3 situation. Basically keep building hype, never release it, make people wonder if it's coming, leak cancelled builds a decade from now to get people guessing. Could 4chan return on it's 50th anniversary?

The proper path is to get a short term option like lynxchan or vichan running while they pretend its feasible to bring the current stack up to date at all. Even if the site runs like shit its better than going totally dark for 30-90 days with a few blog posts -- on twitter not the fucking site itself for some insane reason. If they take over 30 days offline its fucking over because communities will establish on the alt-chans and never return. Social media is about inertia and habit forming, break either and its fucking over.

I vaguely remember Jim being a douche to Null

I can't remember the specifics but I've got a hateboner for Jim still and I wouldn't if the only one he was a dick to was Hotwheels

We don't know what happened behind the scenes at 8chan. I'm not going to take sides or believe any one's story wholesale. They all blame each other and it's been years since it mattered. 8chan's quality was already bad before any of the drama started behind the scenes. It was the beginning of the imageboard pedophile movement, tying their ability to discuss child abuse to free speech. And imageboard owners have all responded terribly when dealing with them.

It's a joke because like 50% of the messages in the DSP subforum are mine. The joke is if this were 4chan I would just keep creating endless threads about him and they'd keep getting deleted my mods because of no fun allowed.

Thanks to your poor grasp in understanding my widely enjoyed and appreciated humor I had to ruin the joke by explaining it.

It's not an imageboard, far slower, you can't be an anonymous shitposter, and there's still a lot of animosity towards the users here from the main 4chan "hivemind"

what is the reason for all the animosity, though? I imagine even if the format is different, one could still enjoy a different site (unless the format is just egregiously bad or unintuitive)
