Welcome to /mlpol/ weary travellers. In this thread I will collect what I can find about the 4chan hack and try to provide a base camp for those lost 4nons that have managed to find their way here. Feel free to add anything you know or swap stories as well. The following is roughly gathered to ensure it is saved.

Knowing the 2017 April Fools joke qualifies you as an oldfag? I guess I've graduated
Also there's no way any Anons with even a slight knowledge of the existence of altchans don't know about this place, half of the ghostposts on desu mentioning them are about here and the other half are about NHNB

I have so many thoughts on this.
If anons want to chase what's popular, then it doesn't matter if 'here' is popular, they're not welcome, at least until they've checked their attitude.

I've been on both ends. When 8chan was a giant I barely used 4chan, having to wade through shit just to get anything meaningful going sucked. But after 8chan was killed by glows the resurrections and all alts since have been barren in comparison after anons lost any faith in anything with 8. I'm not talking about 8moe which was one of the copycats after 8chan->8kun
By the time I was a regular on 4chan again, the /mlpol/ merge happened and I had gotten used to filtering out a lot of the noise and I was there for a lot of the early energy. But over time I visited 4chan more and mlpol less to be involved in whats currently going on 4chan was just faster for getting any info, reaction, discussion. Even though there was a lot of butting heads, it was worth the trade off to make something out of that chaos.
For /mlp/ it meant prompt threads in a spur of the moment like when I was inspired by bootleg ponies that was one of the threads you'd never see on mlpol, generals with lots of content, show discussion, just things to talk about. But now I generally hate that people have stopped trying, coom dominates or mindless crap I feel nothing for. The board was a shadow of what it was, and there's no sign of everyone being on the same page with the bunkers. Like nhnb is the anti-thesis of the freedom that I liked but some people on /mlp/ think it's the better option even permanently.

I mean coomposts are dopamine crack, so it's always been this way, not just 4chan, mlpol is equally 'bad' in this context. The faster posting can be addictive, but so can unspoilered porn jacking off or gooning.
I've been through the gamut of boards being sfw and nsfw, with overbearing puritan mods on some of 8chan's many original boards or the absolute rule breaking shit that won't get deleted on /mlp/ after being reported over and over with obvious bias making everyone hate the board or hate the users for championing one side of the bias or another. And now that there's info that private reasons mods can add notes to ignore reports or strongarm bans it just makes it worse.

It's true./a/ is the "too little, too late" effort toward a former staff member's grand scheme. The idea was to TRY to make a pony site receptible to weebs. In the end, he is on to making silly amounts of money and no one cares about anime.

I've only ever used 4chan and /mlp/ and I used it because it was the best place to talk with fan of the show about the show and to find stuff that was created without needing a stupid fucking sign-in and I could call out faggots and niggers for what they were
others might have hated it but I liked the general threads because after the show ended there wasn't enough going on to sustain discussions and it was a good place for fans of specific characters to go to specific threads and show off any green, art or music they made, and the spirit of the fandom was kept alive because of the rewatch streams and the anniversary streams, I don't see us being able to congregate like that if we're scattered to these alts
I don't know when 4chan will be back, but I doubt it'll be gone for long, and when it's back, if it's back to it's normal self, I'm going back to /mlp/, and if it's not back to it's normal self I'm not even sure if I'll stay around here if it won't feel like the fandom with how dead it feels

It's not about "popularity" as an abstract metric, it's about having more stuff to talk about. It's nice when you wake up and most of the threads you were watching have something to reply to. It's less nice when you wake up and most of the threads you were watching have between 0 and 3 replies, and none of them are relevant to any discussions you were involved in so you close the site again and that's the limit of your engagement this time.
Mind you /mlpol/ is actually pretty good right now. It's a decent chunk of the /mlp/ activity and has enough stuff going on to actually self-sustain a bunch of conversations, it's nice. But there's still currently less to talk about than there used to be on /mlp/.
>inb4 it's all artificial mod bait shill bot janny spam!!
Even just taking a couple of generals I was a regular in, which have set up bunkers either here or on nhnb too (and even taking into account both for those who have threads on both), there's some that used to get easily 20-50 posts overnight and that now get 5-10 or less.

I may be in minority here, however once 4chan goes back I feel like I will try to stick around, I like Anons in here (even if they only post once a day) so I kind of wish to give back to the folks that help me during this harsh time of refuge.

Definitely this. I honestly even kind of regret not coming here more in the past, this place is cool.
In my defense up till now every time I'd check in every couple of years or so it felt so slow that it really felt like there was nothing to talk about. I guess I'm just not in the right altchan mindset where you visit once every 3-6 months, reply to a bunch of threads, leave, and in half a year come back and check if anyone's replied. It feels odd. To the seasoned altchan browsing anons, how often do you actually get sustained conversations when replying to months-old posts like that? It's just not the same if you're talking into the void and the original anon won't even bother seeing your reply.
Also the lack of a thread watcher meant I'd have to manually check back every few months or keep some tabs permanently open, so in the end even though I tried a couple of times I never bothered to become a regular here.
Hopefully now with at least a few more anons like us sticking around things might remain at least slightly more dynamic. And if Pupper is really working on a thread watcher that'd be very big. But either way I'll make a conscious effort again to try checking in a bit more often regardless.

There's no need to apologize anon, it HAS been dead as shit. A chan board is nothing without posters, and for a while now there's been ill enough posters to count on one hand. I'm astonished (and grateful on levels you may never understand unless you attend a con and get some of the free food) we're having this exchange. Greet the world with open arms, as Polites would say

Yeah, I getcha.
I sincerely hope that the simple explanation for this is that it was born of an April fool's joke, and that, like myself, many checked it out but ultimately had no reason to make it their second home or anything like that, and so it was left to languish as an obscure altchan and of course inactivity begets inactivity as those who found it interesting but weren't super dedicated to sticking around also began dropping off as activity tapered off.
And if that's true, in turn I equally hope that now, many anons will have significantly stronger and warmer feelings towards the site. You guys took us in during our hour of need and gave us home, warmth, comfiness and poni when we needed it and had nowhere else to find any. I may be getting sappy but I'm sure I couldn't have been the only terminally online anon for whom /mlp/ was their literal online home, and /mlpol/ being here genuinely means a lot to me.

I may return once in a while. I may not be as /pol/-minded as the common anon, but I enjoy having a place whwere I can dip my toes into politica without seeing BLACKED or obviously paid shills.
If there's an argument, I can see sources. And if it's fake, is ignored. /mlpol/ was always a good fusion, and the fact many came here rather than 8 or u18 means is good for a reason: community and engagement.
I will surely go back to 4, but I'm going to visit this place more often now.

I mean, it's 4chan of all places so I'm not expecting them to give daily updates on how getting it back is progressing like twitter or reddit would if they went down, plus trying to keep a low profile with how much work they have to do, but at least hearing something would be nice

8chan.moe runs on LynxChan, and LynxChan does that. I used to run a small LynxChan instance of my own and I can't imagine how buggy the site must be with 1000+ PPH. Even with a lot less traffic than that I found a pretty horrifying number of weird bugs and edge cases, which led me to seriously wonder if vanilla LynxChan had ever actually been tested by anybody. 8chan.moe's fork seemed like it was pretty heavily customized meaning it was hard to steal patches from, because boy oh boy does vanilla LynxChan/PenumbraLynx need patching, so it's possible that it holds up a little better than vanilla, but I'm not sure about that.
8kun is running on a customized vichan fork called Infinity which is reasonably well battle tested and I would think should be capable of a lot more PPH than the site currently has, but I'm not sure what kind of load balancing or CDN they have going on these days. Back in the day, the 8ch staff did try to replace Infinity with a clean-slate design called Infinity Next back in the day, but that migration failed and the site quickly reverted because Infinity Next turned out to be way too heavy under load to be usable for 8ch's user base. The original Infinity used to be a big mess of ancient PHP that nobody liked to work on. I'm guessing that's still true, but a lot can change in just about ten years so I can't claim to be an expert on Infinity beyond knowing some historical trivia about it. Might be possible that 8kun's servers aren't as well equipped to handle a load as 8ch's used to be, but every time I've looked /qresearch/ has had a ridiculous amount of totally not bot traffic keeping things warm so I don't know.
The collection of available off-the-shelf imageboard software for the aspiring altchan admin isn't good in my opinion. Every option seems like a bad one for different reasons. I really hope that mlpol's ASPNetChan is better than average. From casual use without any idea what the backend looks like, I feel like it probably is.

Personally while I'm very hopeful for ASPNetChan from a user perspective, the "ASP Net" part would make me very iffy to host something like that myself. But maybe that's just me.
>The collection of available off-the-shelf imageboard software for the aspiring altchan admin isn't good in my opinion.
I think part of the issue is just that the existing altchans are all running pretty ancient forks of forks of forks that evolved naturally over the course of time.
An imageboard is not the most complicated thing to develop. But almost nobody will bother spending their free time doing it when at best maybe one or two obscure alts with <10 users total will ever run it, and more likely nobody ever even will. /mlpol/'s case where someone wanted to create an imageboard AND make the software for it AND it had a well defined enough niche to stay relevant and not just fade into total obscurity and shut down - is a pretty rare thing, and then of course you have the problem that the admins are pulling double duty on both administering the entire site and trying to develop on it.
For example, PHP has been out of fashion as a backend language for over a decade by now, and so has ASP.Net for that matter. And I'm not just talking about bloated javascript framework websites, but for example Go is a pretty good language for web backends (really, perhaps the thing Go is best at). And yet the overwhelming majority of chans are still using PHP (except lynxchan which is probably the only "modern" engine from scratch - and is using nodejs of all things).

But almost nobody will bother spending their free time doing it when at best maybe one or two obscure alts with <10 users total will ever run it, and more likely nobody ever even will. /mlpol/'s case where someone wanted to create an imageboard AND make the software for it AND it had a well defined enough niche to stay relevant and not just fade into total obscurity and shut down - is a pretty rare thing, and then of course you have the problem that the admins are pulling double duty on both administering the entire site and trying to develop on it.
For example, PHP has been out of fashion as a backend language for over a decade by now, and so has ASP.Net for that matter. And I'm not just talking about bloated javascript framework websites, but for example Go is a pretty good language for web backends (really, perhaps the thing Go is best at). And yet the overwhelming majority of chans are still using PHP (except lynxchan which is probably the only "modern" engine from scratch - and is using nodejs of all things).

Moot is probably working with the feds, because despite how lazy cops are, hacking is a crime.
I think his shitter "durr partying" or whatever post is to get the hackers to put their guard down. Law enforcement doesn't announce they are investigating, they kick your door in when they are done.

That's the problem with going a fucking decade between software updates. They can't just update the server and turn the lights back. There's probably layers of deprecated things that need to be updated and replaced. If they would have just done their due diligence then each change would have been easy to do over the years, but they're stuck with a big rat's nest of bullshit to untangle since they waited until things blew up in their face before making a change.

the whole situation with 4chan feels like under duress to me. and the idea of moot as some kind of le epic glownigger doesnt hold much merrit to me when he wasnt the only creator of 4chan, he was given ownership to keep the feds from booking the owners over troublemakers. it just doesn't fit. he does, however, have some obvious connections, however, given the actual value of 4chan and how much he was paid, I really dont see it as him being controlled op or anything of the sort. 4chan was just a place to talk about video games and anime that got popular. it was a copy cat moot made of some japanese style website that took off. thats not the kind of hallmark of feds, thats bleeding edge stuff. Is he glowie now? sure, he took the exit strategy the glowniggers wanted. if he was really a cuck, or hated us, or what have you, put yourself into his shoes for two minutes. you create this anime website and pay into it with your own money. then some feds and your literal uncle start shitting in your cornflakes and threaten to take it away because some autistic permavergins caught them spending military dollary doos to influence whores and video game reviewers on the interbutts. I have no doubt moot went to japan because the entire fiasco that went on behind closed doors made him absolutely lose all faith in his family. he took his 15 mil, google job (necissary for feds to give him a job if hes going to get started in nippon) and cut ties. hes never been back, so that has to be part of the deal. what kind of attitude is that for a glownigger? most actual glowniggers would never settle for being cut off from their own project forever man. he'd at least show up like bezos does to bully the new person in charge on social media.

While we at /mlp/ are not doing too bad all things considered, there are still tons of things that just don't have a replacement. Most hobby boards like /g/ or /ck/ or /an/ simply don't have an active bunker (unless anons actually migrated to 8moe from all boards, I haven't checked it out yet). And there were certainly a good amount of posters who were regulars on the huge boards like /v/ or /pol/ and actually enjoyed spending time among the huge cascade of garbage going on there, and again there's simply no replacement that's anywhere near as fast right now.

Where can I get chink recommendations for my /tea/ now, for example? Probably not here.

their server had been running software that hadn't been properly maintained (according to the unofficial leak story). In information security this is considered scandalous because it's incomprehensible how a big player like 4chan could be so negligent.

Nigger. It's a scandal because they are a website with a very large userbase (allegedly hundreds of thousands) and they got hacked by a skiddie and went down for weeks because of atrocious security. It's not even just "they weren't following high standards", they were literally using software A DECADE out of date. They basically didn't update since moot left.
And it's not just some mumsnet type forum or something either. It's "evil nazi website" 4chan, regular host to various leakers and hacks itself, not to mention its ancient reputation for muh lulz raids and whatnot back in the day. Popular perception might be skewed but you'd still expect it to be regularly targeted by skids looking for infamy, and to be a bit more resilient than that.

There are degrees of autism when it comes to updates and safety. There is a massive gulf between being autistically focused on the bleeding edge of security security/staying on top of zero days the moment that they're announced, and going a fucking decade without applying updates and running software that has reached end of life. It would be one thing if gookmoot simply was an update or two or three behind. But his shit had entered end of life years ago.
Running software that has passed end of life is grossly negligent if aren't taking extensive measures to safeguard yourself from evolving threats. An image board isn't something like banking infrastructure, space travel, or systems critical to the preservation of life that justify running ancient but extensively tested codebases, and those aforementioned cases of running old code are supported by teams of software experts that stay abreast of evolving threats and take appropriate measures to safeguard their systems.

4chan shows you the IP you were posting with in its ban messages. If you have ever played around with Tinyboard on moderator side, it shows user IPs. Of course it's like that.

Tinyboard hasn't been updated in over a decade. Back then infinity had shifted to only showing hashes to jannies and other IB backends like meguca don't show IPs to staff at all.

I mean, the users are kind of unable to use the website right now as a consequence.
>Yes, they had bad security. And?
Yeah sure it's not the end of the world. It's not a scandal in the sense of "they are EVIL" or something. But it's a scandal in the sense of "I can't believe they would actually do that!".
It's a scandal in the same way some celeb being outed for fucking whores or something would be a scandal. Not in the sense that the average person is in any way affected, but in the sense that it was scandalous behaviour.

A potentially fruitful analogy, provided the MMA fighter wasn't local but had tens to hundreds of thousands of dedicated fans across the world, and had made a whole personality of being a fighter to be reckoned with, and then got beaten by school kids not due to some fluke but in a way that showed he was actually in horrible shape and his entire career had been bravado.

naturally. Is it so much of a stretch to assume that Sh4rty is run by the same glowniggers that ran the 4chan psyops these last 8 years? They took over in 2017 after Trump won. Now that USAID got cut, they couldn't fund 4chan anymore through their backdoor channels. The hack is them just making up a story to cover their tracks and burn the evidence. 4chan is not coming back. And when it is official that it doesn't, it will prove this theory.
If those glowniggers couldn't have control over 4chan, they decided no one should. And that's why they nuked it. And to replace it, they're running operation Sh4rty. It's funded by the same faction.
Why did they end 4chan though? That's still a mystery. My guess is that someone might be afraid that the papertrail might uncover where the money really came from (USAID). So before someone starts digging, it's best to terminate the operation and switch to the fallback crew (sh4rty). And I would assume that sh4rty's paper trail is much more obscure.

Honestly I think it was just a destabilization technique. Shills were getting to BTFO much too hard, fast, and consistently. I noticed them floating the idea of there that if Anons didn't stop saying so many no no words the "site might get shut down." They were told it already happened once before and just have things worse, but I'm assuming no one from the exodus is still in that department and they're convinced their idea is actually new and will totally work this time. They're probably hoping to quell momentum, demoralize, and steer Anons to places more easily moderated where there isn't an existing culture of speaking the truth about jewry. That and to control the narrative a bit more. They've been desperate to psyop various talking points about Trump and Israel and get White people to go to war.

covertly funding 4chan had become too risky because of DOGE. If someone would discover that 4chan was funded with federal money, it would be scandal and a massive redpill to normies.
There are two smoking gun ('ish):
1. in 2016 gookmoot was looking for investors, even willing to accept new board members in exchange. After 2017, never again was there mention of money problems and gookmoot went dark
2. exactly 2 weeks after the first quarter of USAID being nuked, 4chan is taken down by teenagers. 2 weeks prior, the site administrators joked about being shut down by DOGE
I mean... there's coincidences and there's (((coincidences)))

I personally think it's not coming back because it is exactly the type of thing USAID was propping up elsewhere. Also how the moderators there didn't really care about the userbase or were directly hostile to them.

Yes, it is the cycle of life. 4chan left to rot with decade end of life codes running the site and users hating the jannies/mods for trying to make the site Reddit 2.0. It was only a matter of time until it fall and now the alt-chans are feasting on it's corpse.
I remember anons said when 4chan get taken down, it will be the biggest mistake they ever make. I hope it become true.
It's going to be hard for the glowies to keep track of anons after they become internet nomads.

You are 1000% correct. They are burning their agents to insulate themselves, aka throwing kiwitrsnnies and the 4chan hackers in jail.
It's even worse than that though. DOGE's AI auditing can see who paid who, across mediums of exchange. You tumbled Bitcoin, paid me, and I cashed it out? AI will say "you paid me."
What happens when investigators tie the donkey show and kiwifarms to O9A, 764, the com, and other underage grooming/blackmail groups? Funded by the CIA and Peter Thiel?
USAID was a story so large in scale and scope, no normies dug through it. What happens when something of the same scale breaks, but it's about a child grooming gang?

Yes DOGE is what scared them. Very good NOOTICING they joked about doge just before being shut down.
Elon called out JayZ for buying Beyonce's(his wife) album so she topped the country charts. Now apply that to following USAID money around.
Now what happens when they find the CIA is grooming trannies online through the donkey show?
GAME OVER. We are going to see glowniggers do mass hacking campaigns to destroy evidence. Power grids, water plants, banks, retail store sites. They will try to destroy the country to distract from their crimes.
I don't think martial law can be avoided at this point. Nothing can stop what is coming.

Be the change you want to see.
A long time ago I did greens for a one off thread which became a niche general. It was too niche to survive without greens, and eventually more writefags showed up to take up the torch. Now all the writefags from that general are retired, so it's back to being greenless and the general died off.
