>>387361>Doesn't sound like any of this applies to 4chanI was talking more about 4chan.
> I don't think hiro is looking to sell itI actually think he would. He clearly doesn't care about the site, since he hasn't adequately maintained it in over a decade. He would sell it if anyone gave him a good deal, but 4chan probably isn't worth all that much to prospective buyers.
>>387362This. Gookmoot would rather sell the site then try to invest more money into it. The guy left the site to rot like a shitty landlord.
>>387364The elevens warned us about him back when he took over the site. I never trusted him, he always seemed shady as fuck.
>>387353>Usually the rebranding come after they get bought out by another company.very fucking interesting bump
>>387366I didn't consider him malignant, just negligent. He's apathetic towards the well-being of the site, and the whole thing is just a monthly paycheck to him.
>>387367There are definitely bad actors who would want to buy out le ebil 4chan to own the gamers.
>>387372To this day I can't believe people want to own 4chan (well, except guys who still have a semblance of respect for the values of anonymous funposting)
Is like fighting for the biggest turd hill. Sure, is a big hill, but it doesn't take the fact that is only a pile of crap with the ocasional piece of gold (that is just a piece of corn).
>>387255If /f/ is truly dead I swear I'll find the one responsible for its death and make them pay, full on favela elite squad tier, I'll make use of the tools at the brazilian drug cartels' disposal and dispose of the troon that kills my beloved
>>3873804chan has been an important strategic marker is fith generation cogsec warfare. That's also why it was shilled to shit
>>387191>servers bought used in 2010 runs the siteHoly fuck the site was running on self hosted 20 year old servers? Buying literally anything new would have paid for itself many times over just in the electricity cost.
>other stuffsounds like a "we done nothing, just the bare minimum and pray for the best"
the site will be hacked again, I'm pretty sure there are quite a few RCE waiting in the codebase to be exploited
>>387519I literally do not buy it. 22 unique visiters per month. And this site is allegedly an unprofessional piece of shit ran by complete retards? Not today CIA
>>387267A post counter reset would seriously fuck up the archives. But I don't think they are going to do that. Just wipe all the boards and that's it. Maybe not even that.
>>387281Nowdays with the fiber connections and CDN services I'm pretty sure you could.
>>387296But that does not prevent the site itself showing up in the search results. If you use robots.txt to exclude the google crawler, then you get "No information is available for this page." if you search for the site but the search result is still there.
This was not the case for 4chan, if you searched for it it would not even show it as a search result. Just like if you search for 8chan/8kun/8ch.
>>387519Read that again. Those are servers made in 2010 that moot bought used before he left in 2014. My guess is they were probably off-lease Nehalem-EP or Westmere-EP units in 2013, the Xeon versions of first gen i7s. Those were excellent buys at the time. It's also entirely possible that the electricity wasn't metered wherever these were colocated, making it not important to upgrade if the hardware can handle the load.
>>387521The majority of the site itself was designed 20 years ago, the codebase is tiny by modern standards, it takes very little hardware to send text and thumbnails to a CDN, and the post submission rate really wasn't all that high in the scheme of things. I'd say just about any decent two socket machine with quad core CPUs from that era with a good amount of RAM could do it. No reason you couldn't drop in a 10 Gbit/s Ethernet card for bandwidth as well. We're also talking a plural amount of these servers in the email, so it isn't unreasonable to assume that they had two or three of these balancing the load. Seems like overkill to me.
>>387524Yep. If I really wanted to, I could call my ISP and tell them to run a multi-gigabit business-grade connection to my house, then buy a server with 64 cores and 2 TB of RAM, connect it to Cloudflare or similar for CDN, and I wouldn't even be running at the limit of a single 120V outlet. Running big projects yourself is really easy these days, if expensive.
>>387551>connect it to Cloudflare or similar for CDNuntil you host wrongspeech and cuckflare drops you
gg & wp
how the hell did moot do it then back in the day? There were no CDN's back then, were there?
>>387551>Read that again.Read what? 2010 was a long time ago, even if we want to believe it was yesterday.
>not meteredNow days? Since the energy crisis? No fucking chance. The best you get is an allocated power budget (eg 250W average, 500W peak), and you are billed if you were continuously using 100% of that power budget.
>multi-gigabit business-grade connection to my houseYou don't even need that. I pay ~20 euro for unlimited 1/1g fiber connection currently, and I have 1/1g since 2014 or something like that. Besides a few outages in the past 15 years (I have this ISP since 2010 or 2009) the connection is extremely stable. Maybe there was like a total 24 hours of outage in the past 15 years. Oh yea, there was one instance when at a sunday I called them at 6pm and the technician was here by 7pm to swap their failed gpon. Many business grade ISPs don't offer support this fast on a sunday night.
>120VOh, hamburgerfag problems. We use proper voltages here.
>>387527You're right, I think I'm mixing up 4chan with one of its older archives (Heinessen I think). They did manually exclude the IA, but if Google excluded them it seems it was by Google's own hand.
>>387637can you take a screencap? X embeds are faggy
>>387644You guys are going to stick around here, right?
You guys aren't going back to trannychan... right???
>>387644It's still not fully operational it seems but yeah you can post.
>>387648never used it to begin with.
Remember who loves you and wants you to be happy, and remember who is only doing this to make money
>>387651Thank you for having us. I at least will try to still check in once in a while.
>>387648been here before shitshow, going to be here after shitshow
>>387646Ngl, it's actually a good idea
>>387648I'm staying
fuck the cancer that is 4chan
there is no meaningful exchange there
jsut brainrot
>>387659lol yeah it is. Took all of 30 minutes to break the site again.
>>387662No wait, it's working again.
let's see how long it stays up
now they moved new threads to /test/ that needs login, brave jannies, bravo
>>387665It's probably not ready to go fully live yet. They said they were aiming for Sunday/ Monday I think so will likely be then. We're here for a little bit longer I guess.
all these threads
>I didn't know what to do without 4chan
>we're so back
>I missed you
>...
ugh the brainrot is real
>>387648Don't worry anon, I'll be sticking around. Where there's a pony, there will be a friend to be made.
Fuck 4chan I'm only going there to shit on donkey show pedo groomer tamers12345 and Jewish kike groomer AZGChip.
>>387709You ought to get your bait at least consistent, tamers was reportnuked by donkey show. Should also try doing something interesting with it, as is you seem to be largely ignored. Be creative, of the peanut sized gland of sensory neurons you call your brain has the capacity for creativity.
>Banned within 15 minutes of saying nigger
Fuck that noise, I'm never going back to 4chan ever again unless I'm behind 200 proxies and 10 bots post for me with images taken from an imagebooru.
I cannot have a quality discussion about comics & cartoons, TV & video games anywhere these days unless I beg the quest/tg/ and fanfic fags to get their heads out of their CYOA board games and shitty fanfic books and come discuss some media. I'm having more productive discussion in the goddamn Youtube comments section.
.gg/wQbsjQJ3
>>387717>I'm having more productive discussion in the goddamn Youtube comments sectionunironically true
maybe it's not the bots
maybe the brainrot is real
or maybe zoomers really are retarded
discuss
>>387713Complete bullshit, 1pbid. Donkey show shills people then claims all critics are themselves. (((Pure Jewish tactics))).
The donkey show uses tamers12345 to groom minors online.
Also donkey show doxxed one of tamers haters on their wiki OOPS someone forgot they are supposed to "hate" tamers.
>1 day ban for describing who rapeape is
>not full, just board-specific
>>387721Remember, they brought it back, but they are the ones who still make the rules, including betraying us in the future.
https://blog.4chan.org/post/781845918774394880/still-standingNew blogpost about what they've been up to for the last 2 weeks.
>>387826>https://blog.4chan.org/post/781845918774394880/still-standingFirst paragraph downplay. Oh yeah, it was just a few hours.
<Ultimately this problem was caused by having insufficient skilled man-hours available to update our code and infrastructure, and being starved of money for years by advertisers, payment providers, and service providers who had succumbed to external pressure campaigns.We can't update our site because because advertisers hate us, and users don't buy passes and do it for free enough :(
>has 200 modsThis place is such a bullshit factory.
<We had begun a process of speccing new servers in late 2023Almost two years ago. The entire new product lifecycle of a server.
<Putting together the money for new equipment took nearly a decade.>five figure hosting bill>can't afford $10k in servers that would cut the bill<In April of 2024 we had agreed on specs and began looking for possible suppliers>one year ago<and few companies were willing to sell us serversFucking what? You can buy them from eBay all day long. Or call your Dell or HP rep. Or go to fucking Newegg and buy a motherboard.
Nigger, I can buy a brand new server right now, and I'm nearly broke. I say this as someone who has actually hosted an imageboard in recent years.
<We managed to finalize a purchase in June, and had the new servers racked and online in July. Over the next few months we slowly moved functionality onto the new servers, but we had still been relying on the old servers for key functions. ... The free time that 4chan’s development team had available to dedicate to 4chan was insufficient to update our software and infrastructure fast enough, and our luck ran out.Bro, luck had less than no part in this. Forget the gay-ass hardware. You didn't update the OS for 11 years.
<We are bringing on additional volunteer developers to help keep up with the workload, and our team of volunteer janitors & moderators remains united despite the grievous violations some have suffered to their personal privacy.Calling bullshit.
<4chan is back. No other website can replace it, or this community. No matter how hard it is, we are not giving up.So #brave. Stunning.
It's some nice fanfiction. You should go contact Marvel. They'd love this kind of writing.
>>387648I'll load mlpol up every day as well, because we can have real discussion here. But there are specific generals on cancerchan that I miss
>>387832>Bro, luck had less than no part in this. Forget the gay-ass hardware. You didn't update the OS for 11 years.It just occurred to me that an upgrade plan of
>birth a child into existence, and let this chosen one upgrade our infrastructure once he comes of age and understands computersprobably is only slightly slower than gookmoot's performance.
It honestly makes me wonder if some government niggers are in charge of administration over there. I know a couple of government sysadmins that are basically that level of fucking lazy when it comes to updating their shit.
>>387724The cuck timer keeps resetting every time I tried to post so looks like I won't be going back.
>>387832Clearly their budget goes into paying the mods/glowniggers. Having a tight control of the site is more important than updating it.
>>387834>It honestly makes me wonder if some government niggers are in charge of administration over there.Considering this year's April Fools, where they seethed at DOGE by thrusting their vision of it at users and basically saying, "how do you like it now, huh buddy?" I'd say it really looks that way to everybody.
>>387838That's a very good point. Only people who actively like government corruption, or are just committed to hating everything the evil orange man does, oppose DOGE.
>>387838Yeah. Even during the April 2017 Merge they referenced Trump cutting off funding to the national endowment for the arts, which they apparently got money from.
>>3877011st time? It's always like this when 4chan has interrupted posting, and DOGE was just as spammy with the WERE BACK threads after April 1st ended.
>>387832The crackdown on free speech could be an advert bait demand. They won't be associated with wacists.
>t. got an autoban for saying kike on /mlp/ >>387832They absolutely fixed nothing. It's running on the same retarded code and likely Hiro made them restore the site in the same broke ass functionality or they dont care and need the paypig passes.
Site's fucked anyways, there's now 15 minute timers and the mods are trooning out worse than before because they'll never live down last week
>>38795815 minute timer is new?
Or is that the one for making threads that was there before
>>387964I've seen people claiming it's for any new post now. Oh and people are getting banned for the most absurd things like mentioning altchans and making fun of jannies. The ban list on there is quite funny.
Worse than Reddit now. Guarantee they lurked on other chans and became perma butthurt that everyone despises them and booted the site back ASAP or else they'd lose their dwindling posts per minute
>>387980>mentionign alt chansThey always had anal pain over it, falling under global rules for advertisement.
It goes all the way back to when moot would censor things about gamergate on /v/ and then banning 8chan from being mentioned since people would go talk about it without his nigger shit there.
1337ches Losing 5GW
Picrel is being spread on 4pol. Thoughts?
>>388058I guess we're on the radar then
>>388058The top half is plausible but I can't confirm it, the bottom half is heading for tinfoil.
>tinfoil
well you can't argue that he who controls 4chan, controls all. I wouldn't be surprised if there were massive glownigger wars in the shadows to own that place
>>388059We been on the radar, but it's not they can do anything after the federal government is being gutted. They are losing power and they know it. The worse thing that could ever happen is 4chan going down, because it give 4channers a taste of what's like being on other alt-chans. The glowniggers don't got the time or budget to keep track of all the alt-chans and a horsefucking website when something damaging get leaked and they need to do damage control. It happen on 4chan before where even typing a certain person name got you auto-ban.
>>387648I will keep lurking, that's mostly all I do on either site.
>>388058/pol/ has been hanging-out with /x/ far too much, but the eval() thing is dangerous if truth, someone with bad intentions could be using it to do /something/, but what this something is would be hard to tell without further proof.
Instead of waving this single theory around like the truth, I think it would be better to collect as many information as possible on this issue to get a better view of the situation as a whole.
I know you guys like to post screenshots of a single thing and wave it around as 'something important', but please remember that this kind of post is a theory, and that it is very important not to have tunnel-vision when it comes to theories.
>>388059>I guess we're on the radar thenAlways have been. If you ever see 'the sky is on fire' atop of the website, it's time to abandon mlpol.net forever and never look back.
>>388097>Always have been>sky is on fireI almost forgot about that protocol. Yes, we have been, but we're less of a joke now
>Hiro actually put AI jannies to fill the gaps
lol lmao
>>388102Dead internet theory brought to life? There's been chatbots that can emulate 4chan style posting for years.
But autobanning text strings is probably what he's talking about, autobans were already a thing but rarely used. Since 4cuck2.0 came back online it's been more heavily being used. Going go have to search to see if every post with "kike" in it is now shadowbanned, which will not post on the board or the archive.
>>388126>There's been chatbots that can emulate 4chan style posting for years. And they didn't even use a good one holy shit just steal some claude keys
>>388100Ourchan uses AI jannies too. They are going to become more common.
>>388133I don't know how to break it to you but 8chan/a/ was using a mod bot a decade ago. smugloli still uses it. It's not hard to write a fully or partially automated mod script.
>>388133>OurchanFirst time ever hearing about this, does it glow?
>>388146Not sure. I've heard their owner was involved in crypto scams and I KNOW that they had 2 jannies that advocated for racemixing. One of which used the term "woke right" unironically. Even if they were kicked why they would have been allowed to be jannies in the first place is strange.
Multiple factors lead me to think current 8kun glows.
Also in late February, a 4chan /pol/chug/ namefag died in a police encounter after posting pictures from his phone of himself pointing a knife at a national guard station. He admittedly did lunge at the police officer with a knife, and the shooting was ruled justified by an Oregon jury. But if you know anyone that likes to schizo spam on 4chan, if you can get them off the website you may well save their life.

[YouTube] Mass of Christian Burial for Matthew Wong - Tuesday March 11, 2025, at 11:00 AM
[Embed]Halfway into the week of darkness I took a snapshot of the traffic of the 5 major altpol's (donkey showpol, jimpol, moepol, ourpol, mlpol): 21700 posts per hour.
Before the hack 4pol averaged 100000 posts per hour. But after the hack only 36000. The number 21700 correlates pretty well with 36000, doesn't it? This suggests that perhaps as much as 60% of the posts on 4pol were inorganic.
While I'm writing this, the 4pol catalog looks very clean. If traffic picks up next week and the quality of the catalog goes down, I think it's safe to conclude that we have a strong indication of the actual scale of the inorganic posters on 4pol.
>>388286Maybe Israel think they can save a few shekels and stop shilling on /pol/?
>>388159Why not direct them towards the mods and jannies and RapeApe?
>>388153There has been continuous scrutiny ever since Christchurch.
>>388286The day that it went up there were already tons of 1pbtid threads, threads about meaningless bullshit, BBC threads, bait threads, etc. The bots got turned back on as soon as they got word that the field was open for play again.
>>388286There is a shit ton of shilling being forced on 8moe right now to discourage users sticking around, looks like split resources while they set up ai jannies on 4cuck to stem free speech.
>>388377>The day that it went up there were already tons of 1pbtid threadsnearly not as much as usual
>There is a shit ton of shilling being forced on 8moe right now to discourage users sticking around>looks like split resources hmm yeah
>while they set up ai jannies on 4cuck to stem free speechsource?
I know /mlp/ in particular kind of holds a special place where its probably not gonna move but was the donkey show hack 4chan's 9/11, will things ever be the same?
