> The Wicked Witch of the Web is dead
>4chan, an infamous hub for trolls, hackers, and neo nazis, is to be shut down sometime in 2019. Hiroyuki Nishimura, the owner of 4chan was interviewed this afternoon by CNN, and he shed light on a couple of things related to the site closing. According to him the site had become a problem to deal with and maintain, saying that “The site has become a weight that we just don’t feel like carrying anymore”. He went on to explain that the sites “toxicity” had become too much for him to deal with, the constant scandals and controversies were pointing a huge spotlight at the site, he said “It’s like being a thief caught in the spotlight, everything is exposed now”. The backlash and outcry for the shutdown has become too loud to ignore. Many people from both left and right want this haven for hate speech to finally be closed, once and for all.
>Hiroyuki stated that he doesn’t have an exact date the site is to be closed but the site will be completely gone before Spring. They have already started the process, as some boards are to be phased out and closed by February 7th. Hiroyuki stated that “Some of the more troublesome boards are to be hurriedly closed by the 7th”. Although he did not name names we can only assume that he means boards such as /b/ and /pol/, the two most controversial boards, known for their homophobic, alt-right, racist, and illegal culture.

The "illegal culture" part is pretty good bait though.

/pol/ was dead a while ago, when I mention /pol/ I always used to precise fullchan, not the joke 4chan/pol/ has become.

Fake news I'm afraid.
Seems like 4Chan's reputation and accomplishments will continue to live on for years:

it seems that the /pol/acks are moving to /news/ due to /pol/ being one of the boards going to be shut down.
history may repeat itself.
a brief history lesson. once upon a time tthere was a board named /new/ which would discuss the news. however, eventually, the founders of what would become /pol/ decided to get all their /pol/acks and /new/ essentially became what /pol/ is today. with far less censors. eventually though, moot shut down the board as he deemed that it was too cancerous even for him. but under protest, (plus /b/ received the /new/ immigrants) /pol/ was born. now with /pol/ being eliminated, along with /b/ it may be the case that /news/ becomes the new /pol/
