>>433498 What other chans are we all going to go to, though? Plus4chan is the only other one I know, at least the only other one that's not explicitly fetish-based.
>>433503 I used to check /pco/, but quickly learned it's just people dumping images, no real discussion of anything. /Trash/ was truly special. people would actually TALK.
I’ve been going to 8chan for a while myself and heyuri but I wouldn’t place my bets on 4chan just being kill can’t count our eggs before they hatch just yet
>>433502 /ac/ here (basically hispanic version of /co/). I've been browsing plus4 and sending our christmas cards for the last ~5 years. We used to be hosted on Hispachan but when it was shutted down we moved to 8chan.moe and we've really nice there since. It's an infinity, you can create any board for your preferred topics of generals, there are also several fetishs boards right now if you are more interested in that. It's also very durable against spammers, so a really good option. If you need help setting up some boards, make me know, our mods and admins are already up to date with the situation. You can also email them directly if you have further concerns, their contact page is here: https://8chan.moe/.static/pages/contact.html
In times like this I am reminded of our other fallen image boards. I miss iro2.net. That one was fun. I liked it's gimmick of boards being connected through interest webs without an overboard. You had to explore the website to find and fortify a niche place for your interests, it was nice.
I spent the past month trying to avoid a ban just so I can post in the WrestleMania 41 gamethread only to wake up to this shit. Thanks gookmoot for not updating your site's security and generally doing fuck all to improve the site ever since you bought it.
>spend actual money every year just so you can avoid typing a miserable captcha when you post >end up having your mail leaked Fucking kek, imagine that.
>>433552 Sure, but some anons have migrated to /jam/ and /co/ already, so since /v/ was a fairly active board, I assumed the same thing would have happened to /cog/ by now
>>433554 It just shows nobody in v cared about games. It also might be that v and vg are young users that never heattd about this place to begin with and they just went to reddit instead. Not like i miss the console price twitter screencaps threads, or the hourly dose of " zzz is the hottest shit ever because i dont play anythîng else"
>>433553 I doubt 4chan is gonna be gone for good, but its gonna take some time to fix everything considering the sites root privileges were exposed and the source code leaked (Site made yandaredev look like a competent coder btw). Its going to be hard to dust that off without some MAJOR reworking.
Just sucks it happened now since a pretty major ARG I was going through with some other anons just updated and now I'm stuck investigating solo.
>>433555 Whaddya mean, "where are they"? Just go to /jam/ and /co/ >>433557 True, it might be for the better if most of the /v/ userbase never heard about this place. It'd quickly turn to shit.
>>433554 It makes sense for /co/+ to be active since this site was made for /co/. Sure, /v/ is extremely active, but most of it is shitposters that absolutely don't know and wouldn't care about this place.
altchans wouldn't accept them, sorry you have to make a new one or back to reddit/rpgcodex/twitter/kiwifarms/steam forums/whatever site allows cancer. Or your rapist sharty.
Is Black Hand here? How feasible would it be for them to update freeBSD and get all of the security patching done in a week or two? I know you're good at tech, so might as well...
>>433572 >>433572 WE don't do anything, Plus isn't on any radars and compared to 4chans Jannies Black Hand doesn't need the kick in the pants like they did for years of bad practices.
>>433572 The sharty will almost certainly destroy itself at the rate it's going, assuming hiro doesn't go full scorched earth and takes legal action against them. Taking down theone thing that unified them means they will almost certainly start cannibalizing each other.
>>433571 Yeah /uh/, personally one of the few places that brought some light to modern 4chan and a much needed place to discuss unfiction ever since the self-titled forum closed down years ago and nothing really took its place.
>>433574 This. Let RapeApe and his cult of personality rest in the grave they dug for themselves.
My big problem is that so many of the generals I was following are going to be impossible to find now that everyone is scattered, assuming any of them even survived. I even had a bunch of stuff I was working on for one in specific that I flat out wont be able to post there now.
>>433579 Theyre a site of total psychopqthic narcissists who see enemies in every corner and act more like a voracious swarm of bots than living creatures. I can absolutely picture one of their own schizos pulling what they did to 4chan on them for laughs or them getting themselves in actual legal trouble with some big name because they cant help overreaching themselves.
>>433573 >>433576 do you guys reckon we should get a backup general started on one of the boards here like /pco/ or another board and hang out there for the time being? got no clue how long this death state for 4chan is gonna last after all
>>433575 I hope gookmoot he takes legal action. Imagine all the sharteens that are gonna get an ass whoopin' by their parents after financially ruining them.
>>433584 Death state of 4chan would be for a good few weeks at least so having some sort of containment would be nice, but from my gander there's no board that would fit /uh/. A whole containment board could be made similar to /tnt/ or /md/ but from I can count it would be for 3 people at most and may not be worth the squeeze.
>>433594 that is true yeah, by my guess the best bet would be this board if we were to go through with the containment general >A whole containment board could be made similar to /tnt/ or /md/ i do agree with the point you've made but out of curiosity's sake, how would the process for something like that go on here?
>>433595 Not him, but Black Hand is chill enough that you could ask him to build one. Though he mostly does it for when a lot of threads are made in succession like the Sonic and Murder Drones threads. Not sure if there are nearly enough /uh/ refugees here to warrant it. Same reason I haven't made a Furry Games containment general or one for Jumpchain - I have no idea how many people from those made the jump here, if any.
>>433597 if we can't chisel out a home here, there's always desuarchive at least there's a few anons from /uh/ that are posting on there so we can either let them know we're here if something does get made or we can just join them there if not
>>433599 wait a bit. some unsavory people are probably watching the archives. >tfw there's a sonic board here but it's not /spg/ i just want /trash/ but without the trash
>>433600 >i just want /trash/ but without the trash Same. At least I can take solace in the sharty having fucked itself over, given it's currently buckking under the flood of new users.
>>433551 I'm fortunate enough that /jp/ + /a/ seems to have a gazjillion spinoffs around that I can float over to, though I always liked Plus4chan's UI best.
>>433604 i'll agree to that then speaking of /uh/ though, someone on the desu is asking how we'll end up celebrating the 2nd year anniversary if 4chan's still down by then
>>433613 Modern my little pony is basically always seconds away from an all-out race war, and it even has a literal master race in the form of the Alicorns.
>>433610 I was on Ponychan for maybe a year, 2 at most. Left after realizing their "niceness" is just toxic positivity and passive aggression. Basically, I was wrong for looking down on /mlp/ at first.
Gamergate was a fed op. SJW was a fed op. Transphobia was a fed op. "Die cis scum" radicalism was a fed op. Trump was a fed op. Biden was a fed op. Alt-right was a fed op. BLM was a fed op. Sharty was a fed op. KF was a fed op.
Are you awake now? It’s not dead internet theory you need to worry about, it’s FED internet theory.

>>433503 Nice to see a fellow /trash/ user, I was using the edit thread and it was just starting to get deliveries before all this happened. It fucking sucks.
>>433633 There's a part of me that doesn't quite regret some of what's taking place. I certainly didn't love the jannies or various aspects of how the site was run these days. I just don't want the darn thing to be dead for good.
>>433639 It won't, it's just gonna take who knows how long for them to get their shit together. Idk what will become of the mods since they got doxxed though.
>>433639 >I just don't want the darn thing to be dead for good. Consider for a second: /trash/'s "feral" thread. it was blatantly obvious a mod frequented that thread and allowed it to grow and spread while half assedly keeping it clean-ish. as a result of their inaction, bestiality was propagandized/recommended frequently on /an/, /v/, /b/, and /r9k/ and there were very strong indications some anons actually got dogs (and a few horses) just to fuck them, on 4chan's recommendation.
4chan is rotten to the core and can not be saved or allowed to revive because they will do the exact same shit all over again. The moderation culture allowed that to happen and it will allow it to happen again.
>>433503 >>433504 >>433505 >>433636 If we count /uh/ being apart of /trash/ there does appear to be quite a few refugees from there here. Guess it is hard to find a place with a similar vibe.
>>433573 >>433573 /exeg/ shitposter here. would it be possible to make something for creepypasta/internet horror? at least until hiro gets his shit together
>>433650 pretty much what we gathered, retardedly old site code bit them in the ass Hopefully they fix things up and also stop needing 2000 lines for the post function
>>433650 >Giving your email to 4chan of all places How fucking retarded do you have to be? Even if it's hashed that's the last place you should put any personal information.
>>433650 yeah you're better off not fucking with letting users upload pdfs. oldest trick in the book. also lol i knew the gov addresses had to be some kind of personal army request.
guy was at least nice enough to tell them where they fucked up
>>433653 The sharty is a comparably small site of lite, at best, 50 posts per minute when it's really agitated A prime-time /v/ is like 80 posts/minute alone without E3 or game awards or a direct or something firing it up But people would probably just be happy with 4chan going back to normal and adding GR15 for wojaks, all things considered. Raids are pretty much the domain of spinoffs and has been since /i/ - Invasion had to get started to get away from Moot.
>>433655 >There are no janitors or mods on 4chan with a .gov email address. This is a mistruth. That's EXACTLY what someone from the government would say...
>>433645 >possible to make something for creepypasta/internet horror? Those would be included yes, just waiting for more /uh/nons, /exeg/ users and anyone else mildly related to migrate over.
>>433660 >50 posts per minute when it's really agitated actually this is probably a severe overestimation, they're like 15 - 20 posts/minute, not even faster than a random /vt/ active stream thread
>>433639 >>433642 I want RapeApe and his staff dead, along with all the schizos they gave rise to with their intentionally shit moderation. But not 4chan as a whole. Good threads and good discussions still happened over there and are worth keeping around.
>>433669 The sharty are literally psychotically insane, obsessed with 'reclaiming' /qa/ after the mods finally realized what a bad idea it was to let that shit fester for so long and killed it (too little too late though), and they hate 4chan. No other reason than spite mostly.
Jap Moot is gonna have to fire all the mods and janitors even if 4chan comes back online. How can he continue to employ them? They've all been compromised. It's going to be a jannycide.
>>433676 We don't. They are already getting flooded by new users and will probably turn on each other given enough time. It's not our job or in our best interestes to call attention to Plus4chan.
>>433679 >Jap Moot is gonna have to fire all the mods and janitors even if 4chan comes back online But then he'll have to actually pull his finger out and go through the trouble of hiring a ton of people again. Do you think hiroshimoot can do that?
>>433683 my brother in christ this is a blessing. 4chan is like xitter but even worse. it's never going to be good, its always going to be bad as it can possibly be actually, but it's there and was first so everyone goes there. now 4chan can finally get its bluesky moment and start fucking dying.
So anyone know of any other 4chan like sites similar to /trash/? I'm not expecting 4chan to go anywhere but I still would like to have alternatives just in case.
>>433688 I guess you're right. I've been wanting to switch to other altchans but I always had a bit of trouble with the slow traffic. I guess that won't be a problem anymore.
>>433698 You could ask Black Hand if he somehow shows up, he was willing to give Tournaments a board and Murder Drones a board. I also don't think they actually ban much on here as long as the board is tagged adult.
>>433703 Yeah, that was basically the unofficial /fur/ board. There is u18chan but even before the hack it was slow and prone to going down, it'll probably get worse now. Only other option I can think of is to make an entirely new imageboard, but that's easier said than done.
also i wish hiroshimoot to employ proper security measures from this like at least keeping serverside shit up to date let alone doing basic pentests the way it got hacked is just pathetic
>>433733 The site will come back. It's just going to take a while to update and secure their shit, and good luck finding new janitors lmao. My concern now is that the current mod team says fuck it and brings it back as Oops All /pol/ like they'd obviously prefer.
I wish I could say "I wish I /vg/ was up now", but the late weeks on /zzz/ were dreadful, no game discussion, 3 avatarfag retards recycling their catchphrase all day, and lately, cp. Taimanin was pretty comfy, but so so dead.
>was just about to check on my guild and fellow /vmg/ bros >site is hit with an hydrogen nuke unfortunate, and without clear ETA for this downtime i guess i'll be staying here and check out the site
>>433745 there are 2 or 1 spammer on every drawthreads on the site an they spam their request and fight each other making near every single drawthreads unusable i genuinely want their fingers to be cut off
>>433603 >I always liked Plus4chan's UI best. gee thanks. I put a lot of work into it. I'm not completely satisfied with it but it was the best I could do. The mobile version needs a lot more work.
>>433685 It gave me a lot of extra work unexpectedly. Seeing the 4chan source is interesting, there are a few behaviors there I want to emulate (like combining greentext and spoilers in the proper order), but I didn't expect the code to be so... what it is.
>>433748 Yeah but one of them got banned a while back and the drawthreads were healing. It makes this suck even more cause we were getting deliveries again. When the site goes back up I hope the ban on that one stays.
>>433676 Why would we? This hack is probably the biggest confirmation of many things most anons couldn't prove, the admin staff weren't our friends so I doubt anyone is in a rush for revenge.
>>433564 >How feasible would it be for them to update freeBSD and get all of the security patching done in a week or two?
I haven't worked with freeBSD so I don't know what upgrade paths it allows for, nor do I know exactly what server infrastructure they use.
At the very least they'd need all the staff to change their passwords. But now that the code is out in the open, Lord knows how many other potential issues could be found. I wouldn't want to be their developer right now.
patching freebsd is really fucking easy. it's THREE commands. >freebsd-update fetch && freebsd-update install && pkg update although to change major versions the command is slightly different
>>433745 >>433750 There's this other guy that's gotten banned several times a month, but always seems to evade within 5 minutes. Not the 15 minute cooldown. Less than 5 minutes. And pic related is just 1 out of 3 compilations some guy made since December on /v/ threads alone.
>>433760 Yeah, that's the one who I was talking about. He got banned a while back and the drawthreads started to heal, then the hack happened. I really hope his ban will still be in effect once the website comes back.
>>433759 It's all very simple until it gets so old that something stops working right and suddenly you get a bootloader kernel panic. And good luck trying to restore a snapshot of a site the size of 4chan.
>>433763 yeah, they let it pile up which is inexcusable. i would've been ok with "hey we need to upgrade our infrastructure, sorry if we lose your thread"
>>433769 Having the rules for each board spelled out would be really helpful for correctly reporting posts. Right now only /pco/, /coc/ and /cod/ have their rules explictly stated at the top of their respective boards.
>>433769 So is furry stuff allowed on the promotion boards or not? Cause I remember posting some furry requests in the /pco/ request thread and when I checked them a while later I saw that they were deleted.
>>433783 4chan didn't perform sanity checks on pdf files which was used to exploit an ancient version of ghostscript (which always has security bugs lol)
>>433802 maybe they used it to generate thumbnails now that i think about it, i never saw what uploaded pdfs looked like. it's nonsensical either way because it gives you a bigger attack surface
>>433763 You pretty much have to put up some kind of lab environment beforehand where you can make sure shit works. I remember trying to figure out some technical issues at work to enable tackling issues remotely and I often bricked the OS by trying my incomplete solutions. I don't think they need to restore that many catalogs though, just the slow ones.
>>433802 Okay. So the hacker uploaded a Post Script as a PDF, it had a code written on it. So then it exploited GhostScript, but isn't GhostScript just an image converter? Why did he need a thumbnail image?
>>433810 my understanding is that ghostscript is normally used to generate thumbnails from PDFs. which imo turns out to be overengineered. you don't need that.
>>433814 >13 damn, is that from that /g/ thread? i think they tried to warn us. tbh almost internet service almost got hit by ImageTragick which would've been way worse since i think every imageboard uses it for thumbnailing. i know mine did.
>>433815 Ghostsceipt interprets insecure postscript and executes it, if you can stick postscript into a pdf you can run it through ghostscript, in laymans terms i think From there you have system-level access unless the admin somehow has some special security measures. Knowing how to use CMD as system user on windows i can see why this is really bad lol
>>433773 >you sound excited from all the traffic surge lol I am not.
>>433775 Depends on the type of leaks. I don't support doxxing and I don't want any legal spotlight. But if you are posting an equivalent to the source code of Duke Nukem Forever then I'd be too amazed to care.
>>433776 >auto update We don't have enough users to warrant one, and the current updater would need to be overhauled as it is rather wasteful. >(You)s This requires collecting a list of the posts you make, I won't do that on general principle (even your last posts time is deleted once it is no longer relevant). I also dislike the narcissism it brings, for that same reason I didn't even want to list post replies either, but that feature is at least convenient.
>>433784 Board specific rules (if they exist) are listed on boards. There is no global rule page since anyone dumb enough to cause problems won't stay for too long.
>>433785 "stay on topic" is the only board related rule unless more are stated. The ban/report system needs an overhaul, it was the work of the previous developer and it is kept working only as far as it can notify me and block people properly. I don't even know how the ban page looks.
>>433786 Allowed, but perhaps the better word would be "tolerated". A lot of those request were either spammed several times over several threads, were heavily leaning on bara content (we have another board for that), were just plain disgusting, were elaborate OC requests, or an unfortunate combination of all of the above. /pco/ was always /co/ promotions, not a general furry board.
>>433787 >What other specialized boards would you like to have? Anything that people actively post in, then we'll discuss it from there.
>>433738 It is >>433674 >>433675 The server is currently getting updated because of the uptick of new users. Be patient, it's going to be online back soon.
>>433823 (You) Yeah, that's how 4chanx works. You can even set posts to appear to be made by (You) on the client side, so any replies are marked with a (You) despite (You) not actually making the post.
>>433821 Lol please do not encourage furries to come here.
That entire fandom is currently a cesspit of child grooming and unironic zoophilia, on a scale that has never been seen before. I think furries+covid lockdown isolation was the catalyst but regardless it's fucked. I have seen more casual interest in horrid IRL shit among furries in the past 4 years than I ever have before. A long time ago, they were basically just gay people in masks and confused autistic men. "The knot" surged in popularity, they got a year to themselves in their basements, and the rest is history. I really wish I didn't know what a fortune cookie was.
>>433821 >Allowed, but perhaps the better word would be "tolerated". A lot of those request were either spammed several times over several threads, were heavily leaning on bara content (we have another board for that), were just plain disgusting, were elaborate OC requests, or an unfortunate combination of all of the above. /pco/ was always /co/ promotions, not a general furry board. Alright then, would you ever consider making furry specific boards if it too much furry stuff gets posted or would that be too much work?
>>433829 Youre a bit too late to complain about that now. There are dedicated furry threads on the red boards AND an entire Sonic board with multiple threads elsewhere.
>>433836 >no thumbnail was produced. Then what did he mean by >Said PostScript file will be passed into Ghostscript to generate a thumbnail image Sorry if I am asking too many questions, I am just a bit curious how it worked.
>>433835 I'm not saying you can escape furries. I'm saying that inviting them and giving them a directionless furry board never ends well given their increasingly illegal proclivities.
>>433769 Would you be interested on cross-site advertisement and form a webring with another imageboard? I've been talking to 8chan.moe admins about this for a while and they seem interested on strengthening bonds with plus4chan since both sites are 4chan offshoots and both offer shelter to anons migrating when a mod gets mad.
>>433823 It is client side on 4chan as well, but I refuse to do even that much.
>>433826 No, but very often I get extremely specific reports so people can easily figure out who you are just from what you are posting.
>>433829 /pco/ always allowed furry content due to its nature but if people get bothered by bara oc spam, that will end up getting deleted. If it is kept in a single, you can hide those.
>>433832 Probably not because it starts getting tasteless very fast.
>>433843 No, whatever you post is your responsibility.
>>433615 >"mud ponies" live long and prosper without even trying >pegasi literally live in the clouds but die young >unicorns can outlive both but need to git gud Honestly, earth ponies don't have it so bad.
It's the best race to be if you just want a simple life.
>>433862 There's not really any way to get back at the sharty besides what's going on now, which is a massive influx of posters making the servers shit themselves.
>>433509 >zzzchan is another option Trash refugee here, was looking through zzzchan up until about 10 minutes ago, now it won't load? Is this an actual ENDTIMES \oo/
>>433859 The frontpage already sums it up. I was not involved heavily with the staff until the last maintainer left so there's only as much info I can give you.
>>433875 some of them were making a sincere effort since they liked the place from what i can see in the /j/ leaks, can't fault them for that. feel bad for that one janny they made fun of because CP demoralized him (coming from that other site its pretty rich)
The 4chan twitter account seems to indicate that they're working on fixing it. Who knows how long it'll take but it'll rise from the dead yet again seemingly.
>>433893 It was never a matter of if, but when, and even disregarding the fact that the very roots of the site were hacked into and just looking at the source code, the entire site was a single 10000+ line php file. Its gonna take some MAJOR reworking to fix.
>>433896 Which is why I suspect that the site will stay down for like a week or so probably. I'm glad I remembered that plus4chan existed so I have some kind of imageboard interaction.
>>433855 I've already told my colleague 8chan's admin, he might show up in this thread and talk to you directly in a couple of hours, but my idea is to start with some advertisements on both sites, plu4chan banners that link to 8chan and vice-versa. And then get a proper webring going on with board lists and starts, just like other original 8chan offshoots like zzzchan has.
>>433903 From my gander at it it made yandaredev look like a competent coder. Its clear a lot of it was made up of quick fixes years ago when Moot barley knew how to code and nobody bothered to polish since.
>>433918 It still happens quite often, I see it on /co/ quite a lot, but it gets removed from the catalog fast. Sometimes he just does it inside threads and then it won't get noticed for days.
>>433923 >what exactly is yanderedev? He's a game developer for the game yandere simulator He is infamous for not knowing how to code, using a bunch of if and statements for the game causing it to run like shit, he's a general creep, and he's been working on the game for a decade and isn't even finished the first rival of the game
>>433925 In way yes and no Yes in the sense we're free from how the site used to be run and now we'll have a bunch of decentralized alt chans to post on until we find one we like the most No in the sense that over 20 years worth of internet culture will go up in smoke and most posters will be scattered to the wind
>>433926 Before that he was known as EvaXephon, who posted on /v/ (where he got the encouragement to make Yandere Sim) and was really bad at video games.
>>433930 Also I think he made a edgelord hack and slash game before that and was told by Mike Z of skullgirl fame that it was bad He then got butthurt over this and never takes criticism because of this
>>433935 Well a website is different than a videogame That at least needs to come packaged done while a website needs to (as we've seen today) needs to keep updating to make sure it doesn't die
>>433928 It is fitting with the way things had been to just have it die over night. I will always have fond memories of /co/ and even this place during the late 2000s. But it was mostly a habit anymore and I rarely read threads. /vt/ was a nice reminder of those times for a bit but it quickly became like the rest of 4chan
>>433939 For one, 4chan has been around 2003 and a lot of internet culture and memes stem from it in some way It represents a bygone age in how the internet used to be despite all the newfags who come from twitter in the past decade and election tourists And because it being relatively big, most people post there instead of alt chans so if it's dead then certain posters will have no where to go or don't even know about alt chans We'd be losing a large amount of posters no matter what as they'd be split between multiple sites
>>433518 That was thanks to 4chan.gay/ecker. Some gay furries bought a ton of proxies and set them up to automatically verify as 4chan users so shitposters could bypass bans/timers. It was literally impossible to block without setting up a traditional account system ie: reddit so 4jannies apparently decided to wait for the gay furries to go broke.
>>433942 >It represents a bygone age in how the internet used to be despite all the newfags who come from twitter in the past decade and election tourists The internet age where people could be racist, pedophilic and call each other n*gger-faggots?
>>433944 Well yes but also a time where people used the internet for fun before anyone and their mom could just go in and use it It was a bit of a wild west at the time
>>433944 >>433946 I don't understand why younger zoomers seem to want a squeaky clean internet. Most of you are openly racist, arguably pedophilic as well.
Like, I was a young kid at the heyday of 2000's internet and I dunno, I don't really agree with this whole "we need surveillance" bit some of you younger zoomers do when some of you are behind the most unhinged shit I've seen on the internet in my lifetime and you seem proud of it at that. What's the angle there?
>>433944 When you could tell corporate shills to fuck off. And where you still aren't beholden to the tech monopolies that were allowed to cannibalize and compartmentalize the internet. Dictating what you're allowed to say, how you're allowed to say it, and being subject to mob mentality that turns on their own at the first whiff of blood. At least on 4cahn and other message boards there is the buffer of anonymity between posters, something that is increasingly being stripped away from the internet where anything you ever say gets tied to you somehow and when the times change you get attacked for something you said 15 years ago.
What's worse is that newfags don't even know how to differentiate their online posts from their actual real life identities and they go and ruin their lives because of it.
>>433951 50% of you are nazis, the other 50% of you are pronoun trannies. And you end up cancelling each other 24/7 over alleged grooming and some actual fucked up shit that I don't want to even bother bringing up in detail.
>>433953 Nah. I actually want to grow as a person. >>433956 I'm from the age where degeneracy on the internet stayed on the internet, there was no cancelling shit or ruining people's lives. It's a shame really.
>>433952 It could be a case of troll's remorse, kinda like what happened with iDubbz or Arin Hanson/Egoraptor. They got popular doing and saying edgy things back in the day but once they made it to the top they start to feel bad and start advocating against what they did and openly shit on people who do what they did and in extreme cases they outright campaign against what they used to do.
I've seen something similar with some former NSFW artists who stopped doing NSFW for one reason or another and once they purge their NSFW stuff they get on their soap box and screech about how NSFW artists are all evil and should be lynched.
>>433946 Man, how the fuck do you even know about plus4chan if you are that young?
And 4chan back then was a place where you could actually talk about things and not just be coomer shit. Eventually /b/ fell apart and /v/ gave into hating everything but old /co/ was great. It was sadly the back door for tumblr shit to worm its way in, but it was like a solid 3-4 years.
>>433641 Considering how fucking annoying most them could be, along with the shitty spammers and AI generals, maybe this is a (brief) chance to have 4chan be a bit better than before
>>433960 Buddy, I discovered mlp porn and watched things like American Dad when I was 12 because of my unrestricted internet access. It honestly taught me more on sex education than school.
I didn't know this site was so pro janny/mod. Why are you on the side that's responsible for mishandling and killing board discussion on the site by allowing countless discord raids and shills in while banning on topic stuff?
>>433965 When zoomers go on about "unrestricted internet access" like this it's always so fucking weird. It's normal to look at sexual stuff at that age, 12 is around the height of puberty. That's expected for your age. Same with watching Family Guy or South Park or American Dad. I was 5-6 watching classic Youtube and I'm not going to claim I have "childhood trauma" from it. I had a friend who was a few years younger than me at one time and she was always going on about her internet trauma and how it needs to be a big walled garden.
>>433969 /co/ has always been a pretty sympathetic board and always tended to be on the softer side. In this situation though, I am not. Fuck the jannies, the more I hear the funnier I think it is.
>>433970 I think kids do need to be restricted, but it's more because everyone has a phone and the social media addiction has fucked zoomies up bad. My kids are getting flip phones until 16.
>>433971 They're crying over shartyteens while ignoring the bigger problem that is poor moderation by retarded degenerates who over the years actively killed discussion.
>>433974 Helicopter parenting doesn't work and is actually probably why a lot of zoomies are so fucked up and infantile. It isn't social media, the fucked up state of social media with femcels/incels is merely a symptom.
With how shitty and outdated the OS is, I think it's going to take them at least a month to put things back on full operation but run into the risk of selling the site because all that advertising handicap bux is lost.
Message from the moderation Staff right now on IRC (you can check yourself): >Emergency security measures are being put in place >Databases are being checked, no damage found till now, but previous threads restoration is not guaranteed >New security measures are being considered to avoid further attacks >Site might be up in 15 or 21 days once upgrades to the code and security are implemented
>>433988 legit just wipe everything and modernize the infrastructure. there's nothing to lose now. hiro should read this https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/jails/
>>433991 >New security measures are being considered to avoid further attacks They shouldn't be "considered" they need to absolutely be implemented. The current security measures they have are a decade old and as we can see here it bit them in the ass. My god Hiro is legitimately retarded.
>>433979 You could have said that in 2004 but today an unsupervised child will be groomed into a schizo pedo black nationalist femboy horsesexual gooner before you can say "skibidi"
>>433978 Both the sharty and the mods are awful and are both behind the site going to shit, though the existence of the former was directly caused by the latter.
>>433990 >/a/ is down >no more Junji Ito storytime >no more Sentai Red storytime >/tg/ is down >no place to talk about Jumpchain or horror RPGs in This is hell.
>>434009 /tg/-borne imagination game ahere you go to various different settings of anime/manga/comics/whatever and purchase various abilities, items, companions and mroe to help you survive 10 years in each world before jumping to the next (which is what makes up your 'chain'). Eventually, at the end of the chain, you're supposed to take a final "endjump" which will let you Spark (based on a Planeswalker Spark from MTG) and give you free unlimited access to greater multiverse beyond the chain but basically nobody bothers with those old rules these days.
They'd probably get pissed at me for "breaking containment" like this, but 4chan is dead and I have nowhere near the inherent loyalty to them needed to stop myself from talking about it now that all is said and done.
>>434013 I was going to start a few genre generals but most of the core gamers that I'm used to talking on /v/ are either on 8moe, Reddit, or gone. /cog/ is dead atm.
>>434008 Sucks for me as well I was in the /a/ Jojo storytimes and we just got to the big bad for part 7 before the hack Today would have got to the finale
>>434020 >Jumpchain /tg/ branch is dead as far as I can tell - compeltely scattered to the wind. Might try to make a refugee general on /coq/ if all else fails. Everywhere else - SB, Reddit, QQ, etc - is doing just fine, albeit worried that if 4chan doesnt come back then a huge chunk of Jumpchain history will be lost.
>/ppg/ Dead.
>both of the horror generals I was following Dead from what I know.
>>434035 what about 4chan needs to be modernized? i rather like the UI with 4chanX. it's one of the least shitty, bloated imageboard UIs along with this place.
>>434020 >my /vg/ general Scattered into the wind, probably. A few have congregated on Discord while the remaining are roaming the internet. >drones Quite comfy here.
>>434041 >being able to post multiple images meh, i never liked this >webms with sounds yes >maybe webp support that's as dangerous as the PDF support it think lmao
>>434044 that one is good. i don't know if it's hiro being greedy with the bandwith or what.
>>434047 Yeah, it was one of the earliest spinoff communities after QuickSilver made the original format on /tg/. They're really only slightly younger than the /tg/ community.
I've been in the 4chan IRC for a while, still absolutely no word from the moderators on when the site's coming back up. I guess I'd better get used to this site for a while.
>>434054 They're being really chill. Mostly arguing about random shit like whether Linux or Windows is better, or fighting a ton of sharty users who are constantly raiding it. They ERP'd with George Bush for a bit. I think all the moderators that are there so far are just as clueless as us. There's probably more info on the Janny Discord server, which is apparently going to be leaked soon, according to someone on the sharty. In a completely separate operation, by the way. Now we wait and see if that's just another troll or not.
>>434061 that's actually a good idea, but some guys are going to hit the airplane mode button like crazy. they also got rid of the IP counter which helped weed out the samefags.
>>433974 Kids don't need to be restricted but rather easy internet use does. Just ban phones from using social media sites and resign them to reading news/checking stocks/etc, that way they'd disrupt society less because every guy on the web would be a dude who went out of his way to sit at a computer rather than get force fed algorithm slop whenever he is bored and bringing out his phone in an addictive habit.
Trash refugee here again, still looking about for a new home... But while here just have to ask; Took me about 10 minutes to read through the thread, and the whole time there was this annoying music playing, how the hell do you turn it off? 0_0
>cool ass video played on the reply window honestly, that was neat and clean... kudos to the event >>434117 ITS THE END OF THE WORLD, ITS HAPPENING, too bad no other board is reporting it because THEY'RE ALSO NUKED but if you reaaaaly don't want to listen it while browsing this site, just mute your browser if you're on pc or check the notification area on phone the press stop
Well i'm fucked, I mostly used 4chan for /i/, /ic/ and /vg/. I wonder how many art centric altchans there are. Silver-lining is this site's UI is rad and 4chan jannies are getting doxxed. >>433676 Why would we want to get back at them? The site will be back within a month at most, and he made a point to only leak details of jannies. I may be a little bias since i was serving a month long site-wide ban for using a peridot reaction image on /v/.
>>434020 >/mlp/tamers There's a lot of pone alt chains, and almost all of them are super dead, so this is pretty scattered. Hoping it can regroup somewhere before the next episode (likely Friday), maybe on mlpol or 8 more mlp >/vg/agdg, /vm/some Minecraft server Pretty comfortable on discord >/sci/sfg I've only found one tiny thread on sharty. This gets 1000x more active on starship launches, so something will probably come up if 4chan is still dead by next flight >flat earth and portal A vs B threads probably for the best I stop wasting time on those
It's time to accept that the era of imageboards are over, they don't really serve a purpose anymore and can't compete against the sheer 24/7/365 insanity that twitter and tiktok can flood your brain with.
That, and any truly anonymous "free speech zone" will go to utter shit because the social contract is dead and everyone operates like a sociopath online now. Even if +4 gets popular it would just suffer the same fate as the mainland: devolving into 24/7 nazi shitposting, seething about the minority or twitterpost of the week, AI spam, botting, and fed influence.
The only thing that keeps a community good is obscurity at this point.
besides psyop containment boards it was way better than nearly every other websites besides niche forums i can just chill out and say some silly things people use it because it actually serves a purpose not because for nostalgia and stuff
>>433839 Since Ghostscript was handling the file, it ended up executing the malicious code hidden inside the PostScript file when generating the image.
>>434141 This. It's simple. Just have hobby zones to chill how you want without the usual prissy forum and username ranking systems and courtesy bullshit attached. 4chan was always that despite everything and that's what still puts it above places like twatter and leddit.
>>434156 gamergate I guess. But these "wars" are always one sided people being butthurt at 4chan. moot's "I'm going to make some soup" moment was pretty funny when that one guy demanded control of all the chans after ddossing everyone
>>434194 >A private company sent a bunch of hand-picked celebs (including fucking Katy Perry) to low orbit >Everyone acting as if it was a groundbreaking, historic moment and the all-female crew were heckin' astronauts >My honest reaction was just "hot flightsuits" And it was funny because after all the talk about being serious business and whatnot, they still had a fucking fashion designer come and redesign the suits just for the stunt. It was nothing but a show.
>>434203 Nah, I was just reading it to see what actually got leaked. According to the page, the "emails are discarded upon verification" thing was bullshit
>>434200 The shart is generally anti-Japan. The guy who did the hack seems to be an oldschool /qa/fag, he started working on it when /qa/ was closed. He probably just posted on the sharty to maximize seethe.
>>434041 >being able to post multiple images meh, always seemed tryhard when 8ch and its derivatives features that, same with their fancy text formatting
Since we're on Red Alert again >>433821 >I don't even know how the ban page looks. It's been a while but it looked fine when I tripped the autoban. Pretty sure it even had some original art for the ban page too >>433879 In the words of Grocho Marx, I wouldn't want to belong to a club that would have me as a member! >>433892 Fact check: True! >>433893 I'm almost impressed they were able to get back into their twitter >>433903 You generally want to break your code into well defined and manageable chunks/modules/functions. That way you can reuse code and debug it more easily >>433935 It certainly feels more snappy and responsive than it did a few years ago >>434133 >/mlp/tamers We've got a thread here: /sssr/>>>17438 >>434299 Send in more blimps!
>>434196 >>434348 You fucking retards, projects like SpaceX have never been about making the future more like Star Trek or even WALL-E, it's all about giving the elites even more power and MAYBE making progress in building an escape route for them (for when not even *they* can make use of this planet).
It is FANTASTIC news to them that now any cunt can just travel to space and back for what -they- consider pocket change.
This was never about improving humanity, it's just another humiliation ritual for everyone but the ones on top.
>>434368 >>434348 The bellbottoms, anon! Talk about the bellbottoms! Is actually surprising how much backlash this clownshow received from normalfags, from comparing how much emissions the trip caused compared to a whole tour of Taylor Swift (the bitch that can't go to the bathroom without using a private jet) to people downright calling it a hoax Also, just found out the Bogdanoff-looking thing is Bezos' fiance kek
