>>387201No way I've had Freemasons harassing me and ruining my life for 2+ years because they are mad im smart and better than them. They are spiritual trannies and will never be winners.
>>387287so few were around during the evony and anontalk days anymore, and because of that only a handful realize just how fucking bad shit was because of them that captcha was the lesser evil at the time
there was a fucking reason that the mere mention either on certain boards would net you an instaban shortly after the captcha went up
>>387315I remember when the anontalk source code got leaked. It was fun to see Kimmo go completely apeshit.
Still have it saved on some HDD.
>>387254If that's the new lego then the Self Demolition theory might be true.
Are they really going to try to rebrand?
>>387320>>387254wasn't this posted by gentooman
literally a guy named gentooman as a suggestion? Check full irc logs
>>387328The self demolition theory is when a company purposely sabotage themselves so they can rebrand themselves.
Usually the rebranding come after they get bought out by another company.
>>387353Like what Ubisoft is doing by putting all of its valuable IPs in a subsidiary that Tencent co-owns.
>>387353Why is rebranding so important that they would sabotage themselves to do it?
>>387357It allows you to fire thousands of employees with less trouble, for starters.
It also lets leadership transfer stuff to shell companies, while throwing shareholders under the bus.
Rebranding also gives the opportunity to distance themselves from scandals that may have irreparably damaged consumer perception of the brand.
>>387360Doesn't sound like any of this applies to 4chan. They're worried about losing staff, never mind firing any, I don't think hiro is looking to sell it and they are still 4chan so the "brand" is the same.
>>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.

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.
[Read more] >>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.
