Looks like Ron/Jim are still working on their new experimental Tor alternative.
isitwetyet.com
It's basically a spin-off of
this Tor alternative by name. Also, I heard that ever since Epik refused service to 8chan/kun they instead mitigate DDoS attacks by themselves. From another source, it said that 8kun owners made their own clearnet domain host and DDoS protection. But when I did a WHOIS lookup, it said they're using Eranet International Unlimited - the same hosting service that the Daily Stormer used under .name after Charlottesville that worked for them for about a year until the second shosh happened following El Paso when they moved from .name to .su.
Damn, nig... The last post on this thread was in October last year.
8kun is still up as 8kun.top, but why anyone would want to go to that dead board is beyond me.
Their most active board is /pnd/ (basically /pol/ just without the name) and it has a max userbase of about 800ISPs. So there's people still going there, but the posting speed is very slow. Everyone who hasn't been living under a rock has ditched 8chan completely, most of them only joined it because of gaymergate, fuck me that's going back a bit come to think of it.
4chan is still shit, but 8kun is offering no alternative to that.
It's a very broken, and generally unsecure site. And the fact you can't really make your own board sort of defeats the purpose of it completely
Those who used frequent 8chan and aren't total faggots can easily assimilate here, people are generally very inwardly friendly here from my experience, as long as people aren't constantly saying "I uSeD tO bE oN 8ChAn LOL!" because funnily enough, this place doesn't seem to be a complete self assuring echo chamber.
Having to go through all that tor shit and trusting entirely in something that's essentially a tor alternative sounds like a fucking LARP to pretend people are on some sort of "secret internet club".
Interesting that Jim isn't just giving up on this, I never really stopped to consider what he was up to these days. It's like he's so desperately trying to stay relevant because 8chan essentially gave him the popularity and attention he craved, the whole power and commanding aspect you get from being an admin of some fairly popular site was what he was ultimately seeking as far as I am aware.
