i only saw the post that captchas had a 20% chance to fail. Could they even give you ambiguous captchas? I thought it was just some off the shelf solution, especially since they don't seem to have anything but a handful of par-time coders. Either way, I just used an automatic captcha solver and I could just bruteforce through the few captchas it couldn't solve.
agreed. My joined date doesn't lie, I came here when it was hacked. Saw the new 4chan, i'm not planning on going back. Just a change on captcha timer is too little too late.
I think the guy that did the hack, soy1338 made a thread specifically discussing his findings of how the captcha system worked. I saw that thread and got closure because I knew it deep down that there was something wrong with it, that I was getting screwed over as punishment. I'm of sound mind, no mental illness here...But it was the most schizo inducing shit. "Wait is the captcha getting harder and harder on me?" "I totally got it right why did it failed?"
They were never going to learn, and/or they wouldn't be tolerated anywhere else so they stuck to where they could scream like the schizos they are and spam all day.
Even before I checked out long before the hacking, I felt like this was the case and I remembered being really confused that I did solve it. Then I simply resorted to lurking after seeing no point to interact, and then I got sick of the repeating baits, same thread freakouts, and arguments, which proved there was nothing there for me.
Yet another win for the Farms because nool rolled his own DDoS retarder.
And it's sad that even Web 1.0 shit like this is the only alternative. I think there's a crying need for the anonymity of imageboards like 4chan (and to this day it is the only imageboard of any significance especially since the death of 8chan and its return as whatever the fuck it is now).
That immediately got rid of me for good. That torture captcha is utter shit. I never even learned to use it since they ban VPNs anyway (great "anonymous" imageboard). I believe there are plugins to solve it but who cares? I was done with it at that point.
I've seen plenty of people say they're going back out of simplistic familiarity, even if they aren't getting any real enjoyment out of it. I've seen people smugly say that they always loved 4chan and ragebait and schizo arguments are just part of the culture, then proudly shutting the door on everyone else. I've seen people say they plan to lurk and not post but Christ knows they'll give into temptation even if the anon they're responding to is a bot created by Ranjeesh Abdul in Sri Lanka. Finally I've seen people say they aren't entertaining the idea of 4chan period either here or on alt boards. Honestly even if the staff wants to powertrip now they can't deny the amount of division and confusion they've sown from their own hubris and arrogance, a process that didn't even start with the hack but many years ago.
At a point it (anonymity's necessity) is like needing helmets to run head first into a brick wall.
Yeah, that always bugged me. Unfortunately, 4chan is just one among many sites that are sexist against VPNs. Xitter detects "suspicious behavior" right off the bat if you use one and makes you solve literally endless Google captchas. Same with Facebook - you can't even browse public profiles because it greets you with the login page, which I can't circumvent for the life of me.
yes there's that too, all of the regular /vt/rannies kept laughing at the samefag retard.
didn't that leaked rapeape email told people which vpn's to use? he also mentions it has to be the paid verison.
“Hide distracting elements “ on mobile safari makes the meta login/signup page fuck off if you have a need to
I just flat out assume all 'Why is water wet?' question type topics to be bot threads. Which also constitutes the majority of threads on boards like /pol/ or /v/. And like lemmings people still fall for it.
Yeah the food nowadays is shitty but most of these 2000s women were caked in makeup so thats why
Maybe it's because film makes redder pictures (sort of, generally). Also she's sitting next to a big reddish thing, which people are less likely to do now. That subtly changes the light. "Ruddy health" (maybe the origin of "rude health") is an old timey white-people cliché. It means you look red.
no tattoos, hair is a natural color, goyslop marketing/chemdoping wasn't as aggressive, pre-wifi/cellphone airwaves weren't saturated with signal, pre-culture wars, social values and morals weren't degraded/vilified/undermined, minorities were still also collectively a minority (now majority white is <50%, meaning >50% of the population are minorities. Relevant because the social incentive for assimilation to more traditional American culture is so reduced/discouraged that Americans are more likely to join another culture. Distinct American culture has to enclave, meaning the US as distinct culture is no longer the entire nation or even a majority, effectively there is no more nation. We're pre-balkanization or pre-reformation.)
Imageboards are forums for barbarians. That's what they're good at: giving a place for discussion to people with shit-tier literacy and a lack of impulse control.
I never liked how this system was used by the jannies, so I built up a habit of only posting images download off 4chan and not giving them new filenames. To mix my posting metadata in with that of anons who post images I like.
My nigga, 4chan has been dogshit for years, a literal decade+. If this event has been a revelation to you, then I don't know what to tell you. 4chan in it's Weekend at Bernie's years is useful for hyperspecific threads, and whenever the kikes get disrupted and there's an opening to have a proper discussion.
4chan stopped being interesting after 2016 when all the redditards came in. sure there was a bunch of autistic newfag 12 year olds coming in before that but that was happening everywhere in the early to mid 2010s. 4chans problem is that mossad owns it and uses it for data collection with every other pol thread being memeflags with 1 post from the ops id. all the crazy people that made the site interesting went to deep discord in 2019-2022 and then went to telegram. I'm not mentioning the altchans because they had like combnied 4 active users at the time.
It's a hospice home and a funeral home at the same time, decaying away for a long time. And it will continue to be that way.
