R.I.P. 9chan - Let's post screenshots and OC to properly celebrate it's temporary passing!

It was fun while it lasted.
Would've been nice if anons made more OC but I can't really complain about that since the most important contribution I made was the retarded spoiler image on /b/.

Oh well. guess we'll just have to wait a bit. Though to be honest there were like 10 people outside of the /pol/ boards anyway.

Hello,

I'm closing 9chan until the new owner can take it over and off my hardware. I left it in the hands of the few people while I focused on myself and other things, with the intention of passing it along seamlessly. Today logged in to see it not in a state I can continue to host. The domain will be transfered when they are able to receive it.

This will be my final message as proprietor of 9chan. During the month of June, we received no DMCA complaints, but I was contacted by an FBI anti-terrorism agent in regards to a credible threat against Jews posted on /bestpol/. He asked for voluntary surrender of information from a poster on the site. Due to our data retention policies, there was no information attached to the post.

9chan was a love letter of mine to the community of 8chan, which I saw as shattered and abandoned. I believed that by dedicating the resources I had accrued in keeping the Kiwi Farms safely hosted, I could reunite a broken community and we would see the same fountain of creativity we saw during the first months of 8chan's popularity. Instead, the site attracted nothing but mentally ill namefags, politically charged extremists, and outspoken pedophiles. I can't tell if this is just the core demographic of imageboards now, or if this (the later demographic especially) was some sort of pointed attack on myself specifically.

Regardless of why, I cannot host this. The tools I need to deal with that level of aggressive, destructive behavior are inaccessible to someone with no budget on a website with no accounts.

Anything I say regarding imageboards and their fate will be construed as the words of a sore loser, so I will keep them to myself. What I have learned outside of that is to be thankful for what I already have. In the future, I will focus more on those things.

Take it easy,
Josh

Wasn't 8chan nothing but mentally ill namegafs, political extremists and loud pedofiles in the first place?

Not at the beginning, though it became like that as time went on.
9chan turning into a shithole was inevitable, but it shouldn't have taken 2 months.
The speed at which it turned into a tumour was WAY too fast even for an imageboard spearheaded by Null.
In my opinion, 9chan should've stayed as 16chan forever or at least until the software was properly finished.
