>QRD?
4chan did ((scheduled maintenance)) and in the process added a supremely retarded rate limit, which raped both pass and normal users in the process.
Cuckflare is also partially down and the captcha not loading quickly or at all since 4ch’s domain relies on them
This means “high traffic” boards like /gif/, /pol/, etc have their traffic down to 1/3 because the bots can’t use their passes to spam post anymore.
Other than NHNB, what other bunker boards are there to hide in? Are there any other image boards that people will use as alternatives when 4ch’s doomsday clock ticks closer to the final hour?
Imageboards sadly are a dying medium, and I’d really not rather live in a world where there’s no options other then hyper edited attention span melting no space for critical thinking social media garbage that won’t let me say nigger.

>>404684A total ban on Indian and Israeli IPs would be based.
>>404683They nuked threads questioning the removal of the IP counter when that first happened.
>>404684Rejecting VPNs would undermine efforts to ensure privacy.
>>404687>undermine efforts to ensure privacyFuck your "privacy". The internet is a public place. You can have this "privacy" or you can post text, images, and video and have them appear in realtime on public sites such as 4chan. Not both. Whatever paranoia you have about governments or haxxors connecting your /hm/ posts to your dox isn't the burden of 4chan to bear. They shouldn't have to maintain an open door to shills, Jews, child porn spammers, scambots, or crawlers who can attack 4chan through the safety of a VPN all because a Minecraft YouTuber's VPN ad convinced you that somehow not having a VPN makes you a target for cyber-rape.
The fucking impressionable scaredy cats we're forced to share the internet with these days.
>>404688I don't believe that any of the issues you mentioned would be mitigated by banning VPNs. Bots, shills, Jews, spammers, etc are present on 4chan because they allow them to be there, because it gives Hiro ad revenue and thus he sees it as a non-issue.
If they can't even ensure security of user data, they can't expect us to use give up our privacy.
>>404686Wasn’t that back in 2021?
They memoryholed that pretty good nowadays.
>>404688>The fucking impressionable scaredy cats we're forced to share the internet with these days.Steve Jobs ruined the internet.
>>404691Get a 3 ban for mentioning it.
>>404694Our IP addresses, for starters.
>>404696>for starters.And for endsies, because that's it if you're not paying for 4Chan Gold. And that's fine because your IP isn't *you*, so it's not user data. If 4chan has your IP, it doesn't mean they can see the name of the person who it was being assigned to from the ISP. The general geolocation for most IPs these days is configured to be the address of the ISP or subcontracted switchbox responsible for giving it to you. It's impersonal and dynamic and is the absolute bare minimum needed to connect to a website at all. Your router's firewall prevents any incoming traffic that isn't explicitly targeted towards your computer's MAC which 4chan probably doesn't record and if they do it's in the very temporary access log for the necessary reason of keeping you connected.
Let's imagine a scenario where you were actually spamming hardcore filly bondage on /g/. The mods (mods only, jannies can't) see the same IP on all foalcon posts. They ban you and now you're gone... But one of the mods really doesn't like seeing Sweetie Belle's blank flank spanked. He wants revenge on you. He has your IP address - 172.67.158.95 - and bingo... He enters it in to his URL bar.. Connecting... Connecting.. Timed out. What can he do now? He runs it through a geolocation search and it tells him that Twicom, the company responsible for assigning you that IP, is in the heart of Cincinnati, Ohio. Great. He sees that it's not being rented by a VPN. The website tells him that it is dynamic with the range 172.67.158.91 - 172.67.158.98. He runs your IP through the mod search and sees the posts he deleted. Then he runs another IP in that range (172.67.158.93) and sees posts made around the same time as you were spamming... Those posts are on /cm/ (homo gay boy porn for homos)! Shock! You're a homosexual! The mod then goes to the Anti-foalcon Discord server and says that the same guy who was spamming Scootaloo futanari on /g/ at 3:28 AM last Thursday was also posting Kagamine Len speedo manga scans. The end result: Nobody fucking cares and he wasted his time.
But yeah, keep trusting Israeli-owned VPN companies with your name, address, and banking info so that you can use an Alaskan IP to protect your secret number from the 4chan jannies. You're statistically likely to be given the same IP that has been used for fraud, child porn, brute force attacks, and pretty much anything else that tech-illiterate retards were using Tor for back in the day. Real safe, real secure.
ba9707b is the average power user on 4chan these days.
>you need to man up and let schizotroon jannies stalk you
Why people want them to stick around every time something like this happens is beyond me.
>>404697Okay. I will keep using VPNs. Glad we have them here, even if the mods have to do a little extra work to chase off a persistent spammer every few months.
>>404700Staff don't need to see any of this or have private ban reasons to moderate effectively. It's purely for stalking posters they don't like and sharing info with their discord clique.
>>404701>Staff don't need to see any of thisThe only thing they're seeing there is the public info attached to the IP of someone they're in the process of banning. That screenshot works against you here because it showcases that the staff don't automatically see the IPs of new posts, instead needing to open the ban dialogue before the info is presented to them. Vichan and beyond shows the IP on every post at all times. If milpoolsoft is derived from it then the mod scoffing at this thread here is probably seeing your IP and thinking "damn, what a loser".
>IP address of the offending post>The ISP that owns the IP>The very broad location of that ISPConsidering a significant amount of moderation is preventative, this is all reasonable and again it's all public info, not private data. It's more so used to make sure someone you suspect of being the guy you just banned is actually someone else so you don't mistakenly chalk up the new offender as an evader.
>or have private ban reasonsGod forbid staff have a way to add notes to offending IPs as a means of informing other staffers of potential troublemakers.
>It's purely for stalking posters they don't like You fucking subhuman moron. You absolute retarded cretin. It's not "stalking". What does that word even mean to you? 4chan isn't the public park. You complaining about being stalked on 4chan is akin to you going to a house party and accusing the owner of abusing his power when he makes a note of you walking in to the master bedroom closet. Then you insist you should be able to walk around his house and drink his beer with a full VPN face mask because even though you're choosing to be in his house, your outward facial features are your private data or something. He kicks you out after you act like a faggot and then you come back with a slightly different mask and continue to be a faggot so now he has a rule that anybody covering their face must wait a minute to enter the party. You accuse them of being shizos and yet here you are pretending to believe the 4channal mods are going to gangstalk you and start hackering your xbox if you post ponies outside of /f/
>and sharing info with their discord clique.I guess the every altchan's staff board is a staffclique. Maybe the developer's chatroom is a devclique. Anyone who coordinates with anyone ever is a clique.
>>404704>I guess the every altchan's staff board is a staffclique.We hash IPs here for a reason.

Stop trying to get me hard from filly porn… Sweetie Belle is too good…
I wonder if they exposed their origin IP and they're just getting DDOSed. The argument that they're doing this to push passes doesn't make sense to me as the pass system is breaking too.
So 4chan has been down (403) today at 6:30 AM UTC, right on time for the anniversary, but it's back up now. Anyway.
There's this theory that 4cuck have outlived its honeypot role. Ever since Musk bought shitter, 4cuck has been actively bleeding traffic ever since, and (allegedly) most of the people the glowniggers should have an eye on, went to shitter too.
The point of the theory is because of the above, the jannies have been actually actively attempting to drive the remaining people out of the website in the preparations for the website commiting suicide by 2028. Their methods is protecting the active shitstirrers (or the shitstirrers in question are jannies themselves) while banning anyone calling them out on their shitstirring. This is especially noticeable in slower boards like /m/ or /vr/, the latter having multiple RE threads at any given time or having very obvious samefag threads (e.g. auster vs. stock laughter poster).
4/mlp/, being about the same as /vr/ trafficwise, has the turf wars. (You), assuming you regularly go in there, have probably noticed that one nigger constantly looking for "hiejeets", whenever if the thread actually does mention humans/implications of Anon being a human or not. The exact same guy has an easily noticeable posting style, he will samefag his shitty TF vs AiE arguments if not actually being given (You)s from somebody else, and also keeps multiple very long-living threads (e.g. Jumbo Don or various TF-themed threads) that he blatantly samefags in, also serving the purpose of helping slide threads he doesn't like. His posts have 30s intervals between them whenever he's doing his saged shitpost rounds. Given that he's doing it daily, it means that jannies use him (I don't think he's a janny himself, unlikely) to enshittify the board and drive the userbase away in the preparation for the shutdown, without giving him actual bans.
I don't like coping and two-more-weeksing about 4cuck dying in false hope of alts (that I myself don't use much) gaining activity (they won't, sad but true). However, this schizo shit makes way too much sense for me. 4cuck isn't a even good honeypot anymore because of the userbase fucking off, even xitter took that title away while actively murdering the website. With increasing costs of just about everything, RapedJeet constantly moaning how little money 4chan gets while simultaneously making it impossible to buy passes with crypto, the future for the website seems to be grim. Keeping the current RAM crisis in mind, the servers are unlikely to be updated well, and RapedJeet would rather shut the site down at this point.
On a side note, I'm posting with a VPN because of gubbermint censorshit. I can't post on 4cuck itself anymore because of the aforementioned schizo censorshit, as I don't actually have a pass, currently I can only lurk on that site. Thank Celestia that I can post here.
>captcha is even slower now that cloud flare isn’t down as much
I’m NOOOOTICING
The pass login page will no longer load. You get a 504 error if you try.
>>404720Heh, nothing personnel kiddo…
>>404715>I don't like coping and two-more-weeksing about 4cuck dying in false hope of alts (that I myself don't use much) gaining activity (they won't, sad but true).Because you won't use other imageboards and keep thinking of them as "alts" that are ersatz 4chan. I haven't posted on 4chan in years and I hang out on places that are fast enough to spend all day on.
>>404722Every other mare-related board is even more dead. And at this point, mare is the only thing I care about.
>>404723You should conscript up for the Russian-Ukrainian war then, Vladmir.
>>404722It’d be great if you could tell what these active chans are instead of just leaving us to here and NHNB.
>>404688I need VPN because 4chan is blocked in my shithole (Russia).
>>404729very nice flutterbat except for the b&thro, thank you
okay status update
>can get captcha
>do captcha
>just times out and says I either didn’t do the captcha correctly or it failed to connect
It’s all so tiresome, only got to post a single thread before the janitors nuked it since it was me complaining about the dogshit captcha rate limiting.
I had to wait 300+ fucking seconds to make a thread on /g/.
>>404731same problem here, I even have verified my email but it takes so long to post, I just assumed it timed out. And like 3 previous post attempts didn't go through.
>>404715The hiejeet thing is half shitstirring and half self-inflicted due to the doubling down by porn addict autists. You have to be artic IQ to not notice shit culture being imported from other boards for years degrading /mlp/ and it's not only /trash/ the most annoying faggots were around much earlier with importing /v/s shit console wars with generations, shit thread /v/templates and shitpost style. Long after eqg we have people who use /a/'s worst general with /dbs/ who are practically another donkey show in their posting style even when you remove soyjak spam.
Before the /trash/hiejeet wars it was /an/-zoo shitting up the board in a similar fashion. In contrast /pol/ has had an undercurrent in /mlp/ for much longer but hardly ever intentionally shit up the board like the other mentioned boards. And now /mlp/ has /int/ regularly with gore and frogposting, offtopic /pol/ bait threads and so on. Not to mention the aijeet imports from /g/ with the same shitstirring style
The whole thing is a giant clusterfuck, hardly even can be a called a turf war it's an ongoing middle east conflict in imageboard form where no side is going to back down and no side will ever get along, each attack or janny action will only make people more angry and shitpost harder against the other. The constant generals only fuel this because everyone on /mlp/ has gotten used to balkanization and it's expected as much.
Generals became a self-segregation and then when they come out and shit up the board they get told to go back to your containment thread. Except even in these containment threads you have people who will harass the general, among the autists who will fly off screeching driving
And now the kicker, all sides are shit-stirring and some are because they all have a chip on their shoulder that the other fags were doing it and got away with it, everyone has pushed the envelope. And everyone chooses their own ponies to fuel the flame, like apple and strawberry.
There have been /nmp/ shit threads, and /ptfg/ shit-stirring. The hoomans only shit threads, and the you will never be happy in equestria shit threads, the ai shit threads, generation shit threads, porn shit threads, and so on. This is not a result of glowniggers, every one is just the result of autists who only like their own flavor of autism and have decided only their flavor should be heard, and the other side should just shut up and fuck off - ala apple and strawberry.
The people who bait for lulz are the ones who take advantage of these inherent schisms /mlp/ created themselves. Every action jannies take is a 'win' for one side, except everyone knows jannies are trannies so everyone who praises mod action is the enemy, while at the same time the doublethink want or praise more janny action for their side.
>>404735>You have to be arctic IQ to not notice shit culture being imported from other boards for yearsNever have doubted that my small brain.
>In contrast /pol/ has had an undercurrent in /mlp/ for much longer but hardly ever intentionally shit up the board like the other mentioned boardsAnons having political stances is hardly comparable to intentional board enshittyfication.
>And now /mlp/ has /int/ regularly with gore and frogposting, offtopic /pol/ bait threads and so onThose are made by the usual suspects (the same ones samefagging the tftranny-hiejeet war). They don't cause much shitposting in them (even the samefagged flavor) and the Coalition for Transgender Rights in India is often quick to nuke them. They are made to slide shit, usually AiE shit because see above.
>Generals became a self-segregation and then when they come out and shit up the board they get told to go back to your containment threadI remember when back in 2016-18 prompt threads (which sometimes would lead to some funny greens) were banned, segregating content creation into the generals. Outside of the generals, the board quickly proceeded to turn into a shitting street. 2018 /mlp/ sucked niggerdick outside of a few generals and I doubt anyone would be unironically nostalgic for it. Even the show have turned into shit back then, the only good things from 2018-19 was the porn.
Whenever someone makes a drawing outside the specific generals for it, someone goes "REEEE! IT'S SHIT! KILL YOURSELF!" which I doubt it's autists, but rather brown children being brown children.
>There have been /nmp/ shit threads, and /ptfg/ shit-stirring. The hoomans only shit threads, and the you will never be happy in equestria shit threads, the ai shit threads, generation shit threads, porn shit threads, and so onWell, I feel like I am an useful idiot there for being a shit thread maker and thus provoking the shitskin children furthermore. However, I've never attacked anyone first, because I simply don't fucking care about wasting my time and energy for going to a TFag thread and saying "hey, you will never be a mare, tranny". Let them be.
And I feel like anyone thinks about how nobodies on an anonymous imageboard fantasize about their Equestrias more than they themselves do with their own Equestria is more likely to be a shitstirrer than an autist. Or they're gay.
Anyways, it all loops back to jannies being incompetent trannies which caused the hack last April in the first place. However despite having their personal information leaked, nobody bothered to even send them a pizza. Team4chan realized that despite being publically doxxed nobody will even attempt to do shit, so they might as well flex their incomptence in front of everyone.
>>404741>Team4chan realized that despite being publically doxxed nobody will even attempt to do shit, so they might as well flex their incomptence in front of everyone.The ones capable of such lulz left 4chan shortly after 2016 I believe. It was never a great place, but the quality has certainly declined since then.
>>404741>jannies being incompetent trannies which caused the hack last AprilWasn't the hack directly related to a software oversight? The developers trusting FOSShit and not implementing basic invalid file rejection is what caused the hack. The janitors were the only ones who could be considered victims of it.
>>404745Having the tools to hack the site isn't mutually exclusive with having a reason that isn't about the said site's shitcode.
>>4047464chan is a big popular website. The janitors could have had an impeccable rapport with the userbase but still the hack would have proceeded exactly the same as it did. It's time to stop blaming the 4jan channies for everything wrong on Earth.
>>404747I will keep blaming jannies cuz it amuses me and I fundamentally disrespect them.
>>404747Mods are fags. Jannies are trannies.
