>>382850 Let us see, beginning on December 16, 2024 til April 14, 2025; there are 120 days. Then 226,745,669 Jewish Internet Defense Posts posts divided by 120 days is= 1,889,547 posts per day Then 1,889,547 posts divided by 24 hours is= 78,731 posts an hour. Then 78,731 posts an hour divided by 60 minutes is= 1312 posts per minute. Then 1312 posts per hour divided 60 seconds is= 22 posts per second. Make your own conclusions, but for me this is 98% jew bots and the rest are real flesh kikes. Besides Occupied Palestine, take into account the numbers from other ZOG countries which are also pumping jewish subversion.
>>382860 It bothers me to have to admit to being wrong, but it certainly appears that not only WAS this a diabolical and organic thing, but Soyjack of all fucking groups just embarrassed ALOT of the internet.
>>382864 the only thing that made me feel nervous about glow is the lack of passes leak. the anon who did it said that he did not want to implicate normal users but i dont really give a shit about finding some pass cucks I want someone to be able to do ratio data on where the bots are coming from, though if anything here >>382850 is true then it's basically a superfluous effort.
>>382864 not much to embarrass as 4chan technically is fucking old codebase that uses old php version, old mysql, old php mysql module that has been deprecated for at least 15 years and was replaced with mysqli module, etc. My wonderings in this is that was this remote or onsite hack, as if it was remote one, why hasn't this happened long before as nothing doesn't seem to be updated in years.
>>382860 >honestly feels kind of glow but also kind of real. maybe inter-department feuding? Probably organic, pretty sure all it would have taken is getting access to one mod's credentials. The feds use 4chan the way they use reddit, so taking it down themselves wouldn't make sense and if they did take it down it would be via seizure. I think other countries are also out of the question as /pol/ is a very useful place for countries like China, Russia, and Israel to spread propaganda. Of course if I were the hacker, I would have wiped the ban list and blocked Israel and Indian ips from posting just to try and do something useful and send a message to the mods.
>>382868 when i said glow by department fueding i mean more along the lines of ackshully dodge. but yeah i have no real idea what the goal is here i just hope trump and his kike supporters leave our anime website alone for once.
>>382867 Main part to make the hack possible was to get the servers real ip address. So I assume that was what kept a hack from happening earlier. But who knows, might have been a few different entities having full access and this was just the first to pull the trigger and take it to next level.
also I dont have a kiwi account can someone tell that retard who keeps kvetching about moot in gamergate that his uncle worked at silver stream media and also that the situation exploded over /v/ finding out about the DoD funding?
>>382862 Oh fucking shieeeeeeeeeeeeet. I fucked up by 10 years. I apologize. So, it is 120 + 3650 days (10 years)= 3770 days. Then 226,745,669 Jewish Internet Defense Posts posts divided by 3770 days is= 60,144 posts per day. Then 60,144 posts per day divided by 24 hours is= 2,506 posts an hour. Then 2,506 posts an hour divided by 60 minutes is= 42 posts per minute.
where online are all the ponyfags at now? theres nhnb, here, I see some ponyposters on /soy/ but the jannies are deleting. 8chan whatever the link would be for /pone/
>>382875 If they some how get it back up in 48ish hours then I will surprise because by the look things this leak of all of their shit is gonna take a while to fix
>>382842 Fuck 4chan, I hope fellow ponyfags will hop in here and make mlpol more alive. I love this place, but we could make it more interesting, more alive.
I'm not a horsefucker, but AF event made me confident that you guys are alright hope that the board is fine with refugees :^) >>382886 I'm a cancer of 2020 and learnt about this boards existence in 2021
>>382886 Some altchans got very active after 4chan died, but this place seems too disconnected and no one shilled it enough for too many people to come here.
>>382893 this place at least as don't remember hot while when there have been double digit UUIDs in first 50 or so posts. Also /mlpol/ got thrown around during april fools, so anyone that knows this place exists, most likely remembers it.

The Jewish BBC spam is real.
>>382913 That would make sense. The hacker doesn't seem to be of the same demographic that uses the sharty. Miku and touhou music are more of a millenial thing than a zoomer thing.
>>382920 wait a minute......something is strange. where is the jeet flag? I know spammed on /pol/, /v/ and /gif/ since they make it very obvious. yet I don't see em. does that means that screencap of JIDF being staffed with jeet is true? so which is it? >jeets being caged inside israel bunkers to spam BBC >jeets getting free israel VPN to spam their BBC with
>>382930 >>382932 >>382934 not a regular of your threads, who is Joshua? >>382933 the website used FreeBSD 10.1, I'm surprised that the forum wasn't hacked sooner
>>382935 The average sharty poster doesn't even know what that means. Still I would say watch the news today. Might be some developments that someone wants to chill discussion regarding.
>>382935 Pic related the article is likely a fabrication, but the pic is him. He is an insane shut in that is obsessed with 4ch brit/pol/. He is constantly shitting it up 24hrs a day.
>>382933 That's what stinks about this. It's perfectly plausible that Sharty or whoever infiltrated 4chan staff, and that the infrastructure is over a decade out-of-date, and that moderation isn't the band of 1337 haxx0rs they used to be, or that Hiro is AWOL and incompetent,... that all tracks. But if I were in Vegas, my bet is that there's an as-yet unmentioned co-conspirator still on 4chan staff.
>>382935 >the website used FreeBSD 10.1 I didn't know how old that was, so I looked it up: >FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE was announced 14 November 2014,[27][28] and was supported for an extended term until 31 December 2016.[29] The subsequent 10.2-RELEASE reached EoL on the same day >In October 2017 the 10.4-RELEASE (final release of this branch) was announced, and support for the 10 series was terminated in October 2018. Lmao
>>382941 Still though, we'd be talking about a rogue element and not the community as a whole. So what's the motive? Surely someone didn't just hack one of the world's most renowned discussion forums, dox all the staff, and leak their source code because they were mad about jannies or something like that.
>>382944 Hiro more or less stopped giving a shit about the website back in 2017, he broke from all the mounting political pressure. >>382950 That was a leak though and not a hack, wasn't it? Some /ourguy/ who happened to have access to the database.
>>382947 >So what's the motive? Surely someone didn't just hack one of the world's most renowned discussion forums, dox all the staff, and leak their source code because they were mad about jannies or something like that. Anon, Lee terrorized horsefuckers for years because it aired right after Barney
>>382953 In either case whoever is doing this wants their handywork to be seen. Because their DDoSing is aimed entirely at the boards.* subdomain, so you can still get to the website via the index to see that everything is getting fucked.
>>382934 Might make one later after ive sorted out some home stuff. Gonna need to generate an pony mascot too. Reckon a ginger mane with green eyes? >>382935 An absolute gobshite. Physical manifestation of "I was only pretending to be retarded.". I'd rather not talk about him. >>382955 Welcome fren
>>382951 He hacked into some Hasbro email accounts, and from there was able to get credentials for some internal file servers, which had the movie, some incomplete episodes, and a random assortment of Flash files. If it was an insider leak, I would have expected to see a more coherent set of materials (IIRC we didn't even get flash files for all the M6, just some of them and a random assortment of background ponies), and he would have made more of an attempt to hide exactly which systems and files he had access to, so that he could keep his job and do more later.
A-any other /g/ /lmg/ refugees here? Doesn't seem anyone has attempted to make a thread on any major altchans and like hell I'm going to reddit to discuss shit.
>>382954 I'm referring to Zesty Jesus, a TF2ber and a regular of 4chud his last name is Edgington >>382956 he got infantilized in SPED by being forced to watch Barney with mouth breathers his autistic brain connects ANYTHING related to Barney as being retarded garbage aside from /mlp/ he also sperged about Steven Universe because some VAs were present in both shows
>>382968 depends on how long the downtime is. less than 3 days and I see everyone going back, assuming the sharty doesn't botspam it to death with the source code leak
>>382971 I just like a little 'extra' magic I've seen some ponies there's a 'dark one' huh with 'holes' or so in it's legs, I like her, I believed she's winged too but some nice 'dove wings' of so would be cute I'm a n00b to ponies sorry bros
>>382952 https://youtu.be/EAk8PjCsXQ8 >Donald Trump, please, if you can hear us, please save 4chan >please save 4chan Donald-kun, please, I'm asking you >please get these trannies away from me >in dear God's name please let Barron run the site >>382967 half of the catalog is (was?) full of aishit this includes other boards 4chan need(ed?) /ai/ board
>>382969 I just don't think the admin staff cares about the site enough to do that.>>382979 >4chan need(ed?) /ai/ board That I can agree with you on at least. Although it will undoubtedly lead to AI-slop witch-hunting shitting up the rest of the site into oblivion.
>>382989 There's a mod on /g/ that deliberately shits up AI threads so it's never going to happen because undoubtedly people would want IDs on /ai/ so that they could out the fucker and just filter them.
Regarding more ontopic things, I have sneaking suspicion this 4chan outage was planned. Allow me to explain. >adjusts tinfoil hat America, the UK and the European Union have, over the past several years, created legislation/bills/laws in the interests of protecting children from online harm in one capacity or another. The measures to counteract online harm (as vaguely determined by these various laws) requires excessive manhours and safeguards in order to implement effectively, or just outright drop serving users in these territories. As much as a cesspit 4chan was, it was home to some rather dark minded people who went out and did some horrible things, so naturally the governments who created these laws would have 4chan in their sights for a financial murderfest, all in the interest of 'protecting the children'. I then offer the proposition that this was a deliberate act. A means of killing off 4chan beforr a financial bomb went off, or law enforcement got involved. We all know it was a honeypot, especially after trump was elected the first time (search /pol/archives for tranime before 2016 compared to after), and I have reason to believe not everyone on there was a psychopath capable of utmost cruelty, just a bunch of spergs with nowhere else to go. Moreover, I don't find the following believable. >10 year old FreeBSD install, no updates yet public facing >hacker had access for over a year >DB not released >Slapped together code I even suspect the files released (a8z45n.7z) aren't even the legitimate code running in production. I very well could be wrong, but something doesn't quite add up.
Reminder that the entire sharty mod discord server was leaked on election night where Froot made pedophilic jokes about Epstein files.catbox.moe/bsvj2n.7z
Reminder that data showing ALL of the sharty namefags were in various soycords, including colony which was a literal CP/Grooming server (kiwitroons helped cover this up) files.catbox.moe/dy0vtg.zip
It's also important to note that the vast majority of actual /qa/ era soyspammers were Foodists so not above making jokes about CP, Daisy's Destruction or zoophilia, the entire userbase of the sharty was replaced overnight. https://ghostarchive.org/archive/iF1Iv
Soytroons are completely and totally OBSESSED with emulating the old internet, so much so that they actively copy and emulate everyone else around them due to being absolutely creatively bankrupt, they copied Encyclopedia Dramatica with the soy wiki, and the Soysylum is just a shitty version of the SCP foundation, they're obsessed with the old internet but don't seem to grasp the fact that their shitty moral crusader LARP would've gotten them BTFO on any of the platforms their obsessed with, including old Encyclopedia Dramatica which quite literally encouraged people to spam CP on ebaumsworld.
>>383024 >This was planned Agreed, and your analysis - while including aspects that had not been considered previously - is quite compelling. This feels more like either weaponized incompetence or deliberate sabotage on the part of the site and management, that was only set off by this one guy.
>>383026 FUCLING BASED. I hate the fact nobody else knows how evil these people are. Sam Hyde works with them to spam Fishtank on /tv/ and /bant/. I know because they tried to make it look like I was talking sexually with minors on discord, so they could blackmail me.
>>383026 To add onto this, a few members of the colony soycord were involved in sexually extorting a minor to produce a film called "Mao's Destruction"
>>383024 >hacker had access for over a year wait, really? this explains somewhat recent day-long 4chan's downtimes >DB not released yet their admin staff is doxed, which is rather weird for a falseflag >search /pol/archives for tranime before 2016 compared to after I always find this argument retarded trannies and slurs for them became common around 2014-2016 following this logic all new board lingo is newfag behavior (NTA, FPBP, keyed, etc)
>>383033 Honestly, that's the most embarrassing aspect of all this. Yes, 4chan is obviously a more valuable 'target', but when they (Soyjack) came at us they were soundly BTFO. For 4chan to fall like this is just, well embarrassing as said.
Gonna post this here too if pones want a glow narrative behind the hack. The guy behind this account is an indian pedophile, child groomer and scam artist who used to run the kaliacc network on twitter under the name Sonya. His remilia corporation/milady network has been funded directly and indirectly (passage press) by Peter Thiel, who funds other right wing controlled opposition like the BAP network.
>>383040 Tranny groomer fed honeypot site. They are the same people who were shilling tamers12345 on /MLP/ and working with jannies to censor all negative discussion.
>>383041 Weird how this right wing guy Sam Hyde keeps "accidentally" promoting pedophilia and grooming over and over again. OOPSIES! No way that's O9A/Thiel/Remilia leaking!
* Topic is '4chan is temporarily down, please check back later ( ´ω`)' * Set by [email protected] on Tue Apr 15 12:40:01 2025
That's the topic in the 4chan IRC. It says "temporarily down" and was set by people involved with 4chan so it sounds like they're at least trying to get it back up.
>>383076 Interesting. It says that the .gov stuff was disinformation which implies that the .edu stuff is not.
From the sounds of it the 4chan mods are going to have to seriously overhaul the website to fix these vulnerabilities. They will likely update it in other ways at the same time. The 4chan that comes back online might be quite a bit different.
I feel rather good that I managed to use the website for five years without finding cheese pizza EVER maybe jannies were good at their job >>383087 >The 4chan that comes back online might be quite a bit different. would be based desu let's hope that extensions don't get fucked
>>383090 4cuck certainly has AI scanning of all uploaded images. I once made a hailuo video imitating "breaking the quiet" of a horse "jumping over a girl while dropping mayo" and it 404'd between upload and posting.
>>383087 >which implies that the .edu stuff is not Which ".edu stuff"? There are a few .edu addresses in the janny leaks, but it sounds like you mean something more than that.
My guess is the three .edu emails are just college students who were dumb enough to use their school email for their janny logins. I looked at the first one, which is @g.hmc.edu, and it seems like that domain is specifically for students. If you look here https://www.hmc.edu/biology/faculty-staff/ you can see that all the profs and admin staff have @hmc.edu emails, while the two with @g.hmc.edu look to be students working for the department as some kind of assistants.
>>383097 Apparently a not insignificant amount of janny emails were .edu ones. It's hard for me to say because kiwifarms is difficult for me to access in my country so I can't view the evidence first hand. All I mean by it is that it's an interesting fact to remember.
>britchan.net is still banned for non-UK IPs someone should report trainrobber for denying entry of refugees >>383104 I think hiro just said to global mods to "fix" the website ASAP like, what can HE do? Sell 4chan?
>>383110 being retarded on the Internet is not that unusual some Kiwi Farms users also had .edu domains >>383109 from what I understand they need to >update their stack >patch vulnerability (or kill PDFs lol) >restart /g/ >ask /g/ for advice >replace FreeBSD with Gentoo
>>383109 Half of /g/ could probably fix it. All they need to do is upgrade Ghostscript to a version that isn't riddled with CVEs, and maybe adjust the way they're calling it if the command-line arguments for it changed. Probably the main reason the site isn't back already is because they need to rebuild all of their servers in case the hacker left rootkits on the old ones, and I doubt they have much automation set up for that process.
>>383116 2/3 of /g/ memes about genpoo and draws logos >>383117 a lot of projects are free software with public source code IMO the best thing 4chteam can do is a public release of yotsuba (just like valve did with TF2 lol)
>>383125 This is quite a nice place that has obvious had some work go into it, but it's still not really got the bustle of actual /pol/. Though maybe that will change is more people start using it.
>>383123 >nowhere better currently 4chan is literally the worst imageboard not dedicated to CP. Maybe it's still good for some really niche interests, but that's like living in a white gated community in south africa at this point.
>>383128 All machines are vulnerable, especially if the OS and the packages are 10 years out of date. >>383129 If you're running a server, it's fine. I wouldn't suggest Gentoo as a dailydriver, unless it has a mares vagina.
>>383130 >implying that there are good imageboards all of them suck by being a retarded spin on BBS 4chin was "fine" because people were actually using it shitty altchans with 1337 native extension suck ass just because no one uses them >>383133 >I wouldn't suggest Linux as a dailydriver, unless it has a mares vagina. FTFY
>>383131 >There is nothing wrong here I will say that the way post linking works is quite janky with it having the post appear in the other post rather than you getting jumped actually to the other post in the thread. I don't mind the different approach so much but it does need some work to make it nice to use.
>>383123 I admit I am going to miss the fitness, literature, and paranormal boards very much. But knowing what I know now about the jannies and mods. There's no way I'm going back. I fucking knew they were targeting posters.
>>383134 I understand why people think that's a bad way of looking at things but activity is important for more than just quick shitpost threads. If you want to post your thoughts or call me a retard that's fine.
>>383137 Yup I've been targeted by jannies for sure. >Make MLP AI art >Someone comes in and literally spams 100+ shitgens, isn't banned, I'm banned for complaining >Go to /trash/sdg >They beg for my workflow, then use it to start spamming BBC, no ban >Go to /pol/, people follow me around calling me a jeet
>>383141 >MOOOM TRANNIES MADE 4CHAN INTO REDDIT >>383144 Server distros are considered bad for desktops because packages are more out of date. They still get security patches. Slower feature updates.
>>383147 Well, you are a retard, cuz you responded to my post. No seriously, ask any of the regulars, responding to me is evidence of retardation. >>383151 They're very cross to minotaur posting >>383153 No, Reddit made 4chan into reddit. Don't act so naive
>>383162 sorry, I play the games my friends play but I guess you wouldn't know anything about that don't mind me btw, ripping SteamOS off my girlfriend's new Deck and putting windows on it
>>383158 That's always the same cop-out answer. An argument of fools. Steams very own gaming unit runs on Linux, and I haven't found a game I can't run on that, pirated or otherwise.
>>383155 Tranny Jannies made it reddit in the sense that they make sure you're not a heckin bigot before enforcing rules.
Spamming, trolling, off topic, advertising are all relatively objective to enforce.
This also explains why /MLP/ has tamers12345 (tranny groomer) spam for like 3 months. 3-5+ threads at all times, his images being posted in other threads and boards.
If you reported them for spam nothing would happen, but if you criticized tamers at all you would get deleted/warned/banned.
Jannies checking your post history explains EVERYTHING!
>>383170 >there's a thread about a show related topic >if I shitpost in it I get in trouble just don't post in threads about things you hate, its not that hard
>>383171 Tamers is not /MLP/ related. He took the character designs because he's a lazy grifting groomer. It's about abusive homosexual "romance" and poop jokes. Has absolutely nothing to do with pone.
His 1st YouTube channel was banned because he kept lying about age restriction, because his goal is grooming kids/teens into homosexuality.
Also 5+ threads and advertising in other threads is against the rules anyways. Selective moderation. Now we know why.
>>383172 >hidden as the fag in question, I've made no effort to conceal myself. Let's be honest, the likelihood of you wanting to stay is low, this is just an emergency measure.
>>382906 then make a pony board, one less rulecucked than nhnb. /mlpol/ doesnt count because people clearly don't always want to mix politics and ponies, board's been dead for years.
>>383177 Do you think any of this is outside the threshold of possibility? Mods could snap their fingers and make a dozen boards if there was cause to do so.
>>383179 I dont know the mods reasons, maybe lack of jannies. Theres been other boards added throughout the years here but exclusively pony is still lacking, probably because they dont have a containment board need like g15 forces but there's still a desire to actually just want to have boards like the originals
>>383177 Like anon said here >>383179 it's not really that hard, yet we could have a whole altchan for ponies. Make /mlpg/ like /g/ on 4chan and it would be good enough.
>>383185 >>383177 We've been asked repeatedly, i assume by the same person, "make a board that isn't /mlpol/ but is some more specific thing." We've responded again and again "Just post that thing you want on the main board. It's within topic."
Before /mlp/ was made on 4chan, pony posters didn't say "Wow, I really want to post ponies but it doesn't feel on topic here. I don't feel safe to post." They posted ponies everywhere regardless of the wishes of everyone else, until the mods gave up and made /mlp/. After the April 1st merged board of /mlpol/ was frozen, we didn't just say "guess we'll die then" and stop posting, we continued posting relentlessly on /qa/ until that board was frozen, and we came here. If you want to post you'll post, regardless of whether you feel satisfied of how "on topic" it is.
If you're not posting to a board that is very obviously about ponies, it's because you don't want to post. Not because the topic forms some kind of imaginary barrier.
Can one of you faggots give me the lore on the "groomer" schizo he's posting his retarded drivel on 8chan too the funny part is he's not even wrong to some extent like the 09a sharty connections but like all schizos clouds his mind with retarded irrelevant shit like tamers how long has he been around/doing this?
>>383186 THERE you are! I was beginning to think I'd have to start blowing shit up like before. While 99/100 times I would agree with you, in this case you're wrong. This isn't like before where us (a niche interest group) was getting axed. This is everyone. We're not all gonna be friends, and many refugees may make a stupid, but stilll. Come on now. You remember. Thats how everyone feels right now.
>>383190 >Nooo don't talk about the shartys connections to government agencies, that's... Le schizo! He posts right after 4chan was just hacked by said government backed group. KEK
>>383193 It would be nice to have a general board for ponies, but he is also not wrong either. It's not like there are no threads without politics in here. You can post about whatever you want, there is even a Trixie thread here >>382974 → as we speak, snowpity thread >>378997 → as well and many more. Adding an additional board won't change a thing and it could only bring redditards and niggertroons.
>>383205 I am pointing out obvious government collusion with 4chan mods to make the site shitter and AstroTurf. It isn't complicated and it is all very relevant. The same group shilling tamers on MLP is shilling Sam Hyde on TV, because both work for Peter Thiel.
>>383209 Just make the damn thread. Literally no one is going to object to a britbong containment thread/hangout.
>>383210 Under the old tinyboard code an admin could just create or delete a board in five minutes. Our proprietary ASPNetChan code has the buttons but... It doesn't work. Pupper could fix that quickly, I'm sure, but it would take more than five minutes. On the plus side, we are not vulnerable to what afflicted 4chan.
I'll repeat: if there were a demand, it would show up regardless of the name on the board.
>>383214 >>383209 I've been questioning if the "no generals" rule should be removed for a while now. It was written in 2017 to prevent stagnation, but imo it's causing more stagnation than it's preventing now.
>>383214 nta but im looking around on all kinds of places and people are looking for a new home, if you guys wanted some traffic from people making boards TODAY would be the time
>>383186 This is assuming everything is just like /b/ and that sucks. The always present politics is a deterrent from regular posts, and always has been. It's not about safety, it's about the general culture. More people don't want pony and politics mixed than people who want politics and ponies as a board. It's that simple, and it's why this board has always been dead. /pol/ and /mlp/ can sustain themselves and did. It's not like /co/ where one blanket board is needed for all cartoons.
Where did everypony go, though? I'm familiar with a fair few splinterchans and they've all seen a modest rise in activity, but there must be thousands of thousands of spergs still out there someplace.
I don't really believe newfags exists. My thoughts are that as fast as 4chan is up again, regardless what is leaked, people will return to their home on the internet. But I don't mind, people visiting us nor is this a reverse psychology attempt at making you stay. Feel free to stay as long as you like and we are happy to have you. Just saying: Chuddha is never wrong, nothing ever happens. ;^P
Also apparently sharty scans your ports,so be aware and disable javascript,etc. in noscript and uMatrix or use a proper extension that's made just for this purpose. Now why would that site do that? good question...
>>383220 Yes. Make pretty much any thread you want that's legal in the US.
>>383219 Yeah, I've never cared for the "No Generals" rule
>>383221 Send them here. No, we don't have a new board today.
>>383222 Bro, I'm a liberal arts major. i don't know shit about code. if you want a copy of the code, ask Pupper and I'm sure he'd give you a copy, but I understand very little.
>>383236 >Bro, I'm a liberal arts major gay >i don't know shit about code. if you want a copy of the code, ask Pupper and I'm sure he'd give you a copy, but I understand very little. nah, I'll just complain about proprietary altchan until proprietary 4chan fixes itself
>>383227 >#deca.mare I apologize for my lack of culture. I wasn't familiar with #deca.mare until you mentioned it. But from what I can gather, it's a fictional ai character. I gather this by simply asking an ai so that's something.
>>383219 The >no generals rule was precipitated by 4chan /mlp/ who have all the goddamn generals, and no fucking content >>383220 There's many sinks, its fine >>383221 It isn't about trying to buiild anything. No, I'm hurtingtoo. This wasn't suppoed to happen, and fucking soyjack decided "It's Today!" This wiill go down in the annalls of internet history
Going to update code to fix the error in creation of boards. Could result in 10-20 sec downtime. In case the auto update of thread stops just reload. I will post message when I have completed update.
>>383233 Any proof? I believe it. They overplayed their hand and now it's public knowledge the sharty are glownigger trannies associated with O9A and Peter Thiel.
>>383233 Probably checking whether the IP you're posting from is an open proxy. Most IRC servers will portscan you when you connect for the same reason.
>>383229 It's not about just pony and pol either, the sharty hack affects every board. No /v/ which was one of the most popular boards many pol and ponyfags both used since there would always be crossposts into another escapism.
Ontop of that, board IDs is something that only /pol/ regulars liked, most other board cultures are far more anonymous.
>>383263 Counting the airfare and hotel costs? Well, technically yes, I think. But you're not really living it up if you spend less than $2,000 at the charity auction alone
>>383270 Im splitting up a room with 4 other horse friends and I’ll only eat fast food and I plan on only buying some t shirts. It should be good, right?
>>383252 https://www DOT soyjak DOT st/soy/thread/10615723.html#q10627603 again i don't know why do they do it just wanted to warn about it in case it's malicious in nature >>383260 yeah i don't really now the reason behind it
>>383274 I bet they launch some malicious JavaScript as well. On top of them following me from thread to thread they did it on other software platforms too, like Valve game servers.
>>383275 Nice, but how is it different than nhnb? /mlp/ had a mix of fags into g1-5, eqg, tfh, merimicorn, wildmanes, fillyfuntasia, tamers, ect. nhnb bans eqg, g5, unclear about tfh and others with vauge thing-I-dont-like is banned. what would the one singular rule be efforced like on /poner/ for those?
>>383286 If you are going to have a politics board then it would be better if porn wasn't on it or else you get a porn board rather than a politics one.
>>383286 Those boards imagine themselves as creating carefully maintained gardens where any unwanted content is pruned, but really, they are creating padded cells and straight jackets for themselves and their community.
In /poner/, we do not fear chaos if it means a little fun.
>>383281 It happened maybe 3-5 times I can count. >L4D2 server, profile joins with a super niche meme pfp from a thread on /biz/, a meme I make OC of. >TF2 MvM server, users discussing a niche meme from a girl's high school YouTube channel (related to Sam Hyde's Fishtank and a girl I briefly simped for, those glowniggers litetally harassed me IRL and online for 2+ years) >A few instances of people joining L4D2 servers just to yell/harass/belittle me randomly
Sam Hyde's wigger crew also slipped up once and admitted they had access to my 10+ year old Google account by posting a song I liked in high school, and used it to identify my thread ID. No suspicious logins. Sam works for Peter Thiel (CIA). Hacking is legal if you have government approval!
>>383294 I understand that you like to post it but it's what happened to /b/ for example. Taken over by porn entirely. It's not my website so it's up to the admins but it would be my suggestion.
>>383292 Based and fairly funpilled, but where is the line for "post pony" until it's off topic? Is anthro allowed? Does EQG count as "pony" on /poner/? Non-MLP equine shows? TFH with its roots to Fighting is Magic? Content that aren't even pony? (Spirit, Last Unicorn, Ect) Actual Zoophillia?
>>383301 I've seen AI been posted on this board already, so going to go with yes.
>>383301 If there is a nexus to ponies, then yes. If it's a generalized thread about AI, >>>/cyb/ is more appropriate.
>>383303 >Is anthro allowed? Yes. >But I hate anthro Then tell the poster he's a faggot >Is EQG allowed? Yes >But i hate EQG Then tell the eqg poster he's a faggot >Are non-mlp horse shows allowed Yes. >But i hate non-mlp horse shows Then tell the poster he's a faggot >Is TFH allowed? Yes. >But I hate TFH Then tell the poster he's a faggot >content that allegedly isn't even pony, but actually is full of awesome horses like Spirit and The Last Unicorn Yes. >But I hate Spirit and The Last Unicorn Then you're a faggot >Zooaphilia Tentative yes, though admittedly it's rather grey. Please do not post about actual plans to go have sex with actual horses in jurisdictions where that is illegal.
>>383305 That's a lot of 'allowed' but calling people a faggot isn't where things end on this tism turf war. Anyone who's spent in any thread that isn't g4-pony only will be able to see the back and forth shitflinging. Usually /mlp/jannies don't do shit about it, but theres also the one-way double standard where the janny only applies things to things he doesn't like. Whats the kind of moderation like for thread-warring faction faggots turning /mlp/ into console wars?
>>383263 >>383272 I went to Mare Fair 2 with a budget of $1k and ate cup ramen cooked in a coffee machine for most of my meals, even if you don't cut costs like a Jew in the great depression you'll be fine.
>>383318 Harkach hasn't been good in a really long time and it's practically owned by the Russian government now. And the local /mlp/ is dead. There's nowhere to return to.
>>383328 Honestly I'm just happy to get guys off 4chan. This place is great too, been coming on and off for a few years. Maybe even 8kunt will get revived to spite Hiroyuki.
>>383329 I'm trying to keep an eye on every information source I can so if you know of anywhere else people might have ended up you should post it. So far this place seems most active funnily enough.
>>383329 Yes, this place is good too, but it can be really slow at times. Liveposting just offers a different vibe, conversations feel a lot more real and personal, a lot closer to the feeling of sitting in the same room and chatting.
Actually by funny coincidence /xomy/ is sort of a sister board to this site. We got fed up with 8ch admin on the exact same day you guys were kicked off 4kidz - April Fool's Exodus.
>>383340 It's pretty crazy how far reaching the effects of that April Fools were. All sorts of random corners of the internet appearing and then also somehow surviving for years.
>>383337 Feds feared infinity's autistic organization, 4chan is really nothing like it and infinity hasn't ever been replicated again, all the alt spliters suck and have no activity. Which is why people went back to 4chan, people dont want to post in dead boards.
>>383344 I need to brush up on my Russian with duolingo and visit dvach's mlp board some more, the russian side of the fandom is actually thriving still from the look of things.
>>383346 I've never visited much but from talking to russian anons time to time, the russian chans died a miserable death long ago and what little activity exists is complete faggotry. AFAIK the fandom as a whole is still hanging on but it's basically all on tabun nowadays.
>>383344 Nah, i am actually pretty content with my life. A man doesn't need much to be happy - a roof over his head, some food and a stable internet connection. And ponies, of course. >>383346 >visit dvach's mlp board some more, Dvach is dead. There's a good amount of activity on websites like Tabun, VK pony groups, pony telegram channels and other places like that, some conventions - the pony community in Russia is very much alive, even if less active than in the US (obviously, there are less people in russia). But russian pony boards are dead. Like, 10 posts per day dead.
>>383329 I've never lurked much since that april fool's but honestly I should. It seems much comfier than nhnb, in everything from the website to the rules. I'll try to stick around even if 4cuck comes back, and if not then I might live with having to make my home here.
Honestly most of all I think I'm going to miss the various slow boards on 4chan. /g/ was mostly shit but had some neat generals. /diy/ was fun to browse. /ck/ also. All of this is shit that will not have any kind of bunker prepared, and won't have any "community" coherent enough to organise anything somewhere else, and people will probably just disperse to who knows where, maybe random discords, twitter, or just nowhere at all. And there won't be anything quite like /tea/ or /3dpg/ or /ohm/ or /dpt/ anymore, and it's not something you'd be able to find anywhere else. I never thought I'd say this but I do hope 4chan isn't dead forever.
>>383346 >dvach 1) it's harkach 2) unlike 4ch, it's literally a government honeypot (run by mail.ru/vk, a pseudo-private company) harkach's admin shilled for rutube ffs
Opinions on sinister Celestia worship? >>383352 Basically we moved to a weeb ERP site called meguca after sunshine got exposed back in April 2017. Made a /pol/, trolled the fuck out of Kampfy for months (if you've ever heard of megooka tranny goons, that was us), had some surprisingly influential RW ecelebs drop in sometimes and then we got nuked after doorcuck fucked up the Halle synagogue shooting (not one of us probably) and the site admin got doxed. We bounced around russian liveboards for a while until we stayed on nullchan.
>>383352 Hmm, I'll try. In summary people stopped trusting pig farmer Jim the admin, he just had way too much visible glowing. Then there was the mod team, lead by IMKampfy, and he went increasingly out of control after blompf's first election win. Any criticism of the zionist orange was getting binned and banned. Not just that, but he was increasingly on drugs or some shit, because he would have epic meltdowns in the middle of the night for hours.
Around that time is when the Sunshine leak happened. 8chan was building dossiers on its users, and we dipped.
>>383360 >harkach's admin shilled for rutube ffs You've got an even more concrete proof - he LITERALLY said in an interview with Varlamov (available on youtube) that he provides all information to Russian authorities when they ask for it even when he doesn't have to because he thinks that "we should help our police". What a joke.
>>383363 Am serious about this, and not being ironic. Please, as you will, tell your tale. I've spent more than a fortnite with the lads in /trash/. and any fandom lore that might go unappreciated or forgotten is MOST welcome and invited
>>383372 Another hack maybe? Seems to be quite similar to have happened to 4chan. Or did the servers just melt because more than 10 people posted at once? lol
>>383373 Nah. the admin is just a faggot who had no history of maintaining anything like a server load since they never ever had any consistent user base they never bothered to upgrade
>>383379 likely overloaded the server and it just crashed. From what I've seen, nhnb admin is insanely ban happy and definitely didn't plan for the activity spike
>>383379 Nhnb built their 'bunker' on a shitware foundation, seems pretty simple enough. A number of things could happen, they got cut off because of the bandwidth, they overheated, or cloudfare cut the site since it showed signs of life which it never had (lol lmao even)
>>383371 I have a whole bunch of our old memes from that era, but I don't know if I saved a whole lot of the actual, ehh, evidence. I'll poke around a little more and see what I can find. The Exodus wasn't even the craziest thing that went down over there though...
I've been browsing /mlp/ on a regular basis for years and only now that it's gone do i realize how attached i've grown to that place. Like, i hover my hands over the keyboard ready to type in 4chan dot org slash mlp and catch myself. I really hope we'll be back soon.
I got lost about an hour ago I sailed past that fork in the road And now here I stand A stranger in a foreign land
>>383385 Its hard to appreciate how it feels to not be able to take a breath when one realizes that's what they're trying to do and can't. Hyperbolic perhaps, but no, this is unprecedented and unanticipated; all bets are off, and we shall see what results.
>>383385 Same anon. but I'm thankful for alternatives. I can't imagine being like most other boards with no bunkers. I hope it comes back soon too. But I'm glad for /mlpol/ and NHNB Even if they're whiny little bitches
>>383385 Same anon. I'm glad /mlpol/ exists, it looks comfy enough. I didn't think to come here until now in the evening and it's like a breath of fresh air: ponyfags still exist and are still posting. A home away from home for now.
But I still want to go home, actual home, if it ever becomes possible again.
>>383391 Last was checked (10 hours ago?) Soyjack was absolutely immolating with posts, and kiwi farms was blowing up also. One assumes news has made the rounds to all the affiliated alt-chans, and amidst all the chaos I would be quite surprised if most alts were maintaining rigid guidelines, so if I were to guess the answer would be "Fucking everywhere"
>>383395 >/mlp/ was as shit as the rest of the site. as a guy who never really watched the show I must say that /mlp/ was, on average, better than the rest of the site (that's why I'm here)
>>383404 lots of discussion around the concept of the leaks, not much on the meat of it. Some shitflinging towards Hiroshimoot, and a surprising amount of focus towards /mlp/ due to the fillyfag artist who claims to be a mod on 4chan
its definitely the fastest I've seen Kiwi farms threads move
>>383395 I wouldn't say that. Some boards really are unusable. >>383404 NTA, but when I went, there was the 4chan thread with anons from different boards talking about the event, and a sharty thread with typical sharty posts.
>>383404 >If you can can you give us a QRD of what they're doing there? in general or right now? in general they dox people right now most of the website participates in 4chan monitoring thread (Before hack it had 400 pages, now it's in 600s) >I can't get onto kiwifarms from here without a VPN or Tor Airstrip One strikes again
>>383405 Up till now I for one haven't bothered because 90% of my time was spent on 4cuck (and I'm not jumping through hoops to buy a pass) Maybe now I should actually grab one finally...
>>383395 I'll admit that /mlp/ is far from being a perfect board, but it's still a good place. At times even a great place. If you ignore all the bait and shitposting at times you can participate in insightful discussions and talk with very interesting people (this is one of the main reasons why i appreciate imageboards so much - you can stumble upon genuinely interesting people). It's really not as bad as you're making it out to be. >I can't get onto kiwifarms from here without a VPN or Tor. You should really get a vpn, just in case. I've got several because like half the Internet (including 4chan and youtube) is banned in Russia and it's practically unusable if you don't know how to bypass censorship.
>>383415 anon, UK banned KF because they refused to give away user's data iirc their admin is in contact with (You)r country's Congress because UK's demand were, technically speaking, infringing on US freedums
>>383395 Basically this >>383414 It had flaws but it wasn't unusable. The 60 second post timer was a non-issue in 99% of cases, and since they got rid of recaptcha v3 a couple years ago even the captchas have been fine to type in.
It could've been better (e.g. no eqg) but for what we had as the most active pony imageboard, it was good enough.
>>383417 There's 600 pages of shit I'm not going to read. It doesn't look that interesting for new information. Though there is an article. https://archive.is/KLPBX
They also loaded the exact song and miku gif that sharty hacked the site with for lulz.
>>383414 >including 4chan I wonder why Russian 4chan ban is so...Unprofessional? boards.4chan.org is banned while ALL other subdomains are not, making posting possible it's literally a question of switching from boards.4chan.org to *.4chan.org
>>383431 Meh, once they got rid of the picture captchas and you can type it in straight up most of the time (and sometimes spend 2 seconds quickly moving a slider) it's really not that bad. No captcha is obviously better, but for a big site that has no choice but to deal with dedicated spamers and bots, it's understandable.
>>383436 There are easy captcha and hard ones. If you try to post from a new device you will get a 900 second wait and hard captchas but if you posts a few times to prove you're probably not a bot they get a lot easier and less frequent.
>>383430 IIRC the site got banned because someone snitched to the roskomnadzor and sent them a link to the yaoi board. They probably tried to block only that board. Maybe that's the reason. By the way, i am REALLY surprised /mlpol/ isn't banned. Probably nobody snitched yet.
>>383437 The "hard" captchas are still easy. The 900 second wait is the real killer. Sucks for posting with fresh cookies. Undeniably a bad change, but it's also a pretty recent thing.
>>383436 4chan would have to deal with a lot less spam if the mods weren't cancerous faggots and they got rid of the indians. Half the site is probably jeets and the staff get a kick out of violating their own rules while banning people they don't like.
>>383439 It prevents ban evaders from being able to spam too hard if every time they get banned they need to wait 10 minutes to start spamming again. Overall I don't think it's a bad thing.
>>383305 Retard question: the global rules say "no generals" but then reference the issues /pol/ has with general. If /poner/ is to be used as a bunker for /mlp/, would pony generals be allowed on it? For better or for worse, a huge chunk of modern /mlp/ activity was in generals nowadays.
>>383430 >>383403 By the way, you should really check out the snow. It's genuinely good and very comfy. And it's got an amazing community to boot! I'm especially fond of fan music and fanfiction. You can watch it here fim.heartshine.gay or on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_AQAl_C9TE >nah it is banned Works on my machine. Strangely, i couldn't open it in chrome but it works in firefox. My VPN is off at the moment.
>>383442 is this new material from the leak or just shit we missed while lol'ing at src code leak? >update captcha for /co/ Perichad won >>383450 >By the way, you should really check out the snow I'm tired of snow man last week's snowfall in Moscow was terrible
>>383448 IP counters on boards without IDs were always a weird crutch. Pretty much every board on 4chan with a full daily catalog turnover needs IDs, but jannoids and retards it's not "4chan culture" to enable IDs on ruined boards like /a/ and /v/.
>>383449 You think he got into a janny position on /mlp/? I dont know he would be pretty biased and ban happy. His vandalizing shitstorm in the aggie when people drew harmless g5 ponies was something.
>>383452 Personally I feel like the whole show is brought down by the terrible first movie that serves as a rotten base for everything that comes after. Also as a concept I don't understand why they made it so far removed from the FIM world. Like why even bother having a whole AU cast when they could have just brought the actual M6 through the portal.
>>383462 >>383452 In my opinion the whole premise is flawed. I watch MLP because it's a cute show about cartoon ponies set in a fantasy world. Nothing can be further away from that than a fucking high school show. I've still watched all the movies but i'm not a big fan of them. I don't possess the same visceral hatred towards Eqg like some other anons - i simply don't care. It doesn't move me like ponies do.
>>383450 >By the way, you should really check out the [show] I was neutral to the show before AF event, but plan to watch it during May just to abstract from DEDY VOEVALI #80
>>383462 The basic reason as far as I understand it was a near total revolt of the fanbase, and a compromise being the promise that EQG would remain as seperate from FiM as possible so it wasn't considered Canon to FiM
The first film is pretty weak I'll admit, but Rainbow Rocks really picked back up
>>383464 That's fair Anon, I find it fun but its a different kind of fun compared to FiM. Mostly helps that I find the Eqq cast more likable than the FiM cast post-season3
>>383467 Great idea. You should also check out /mlp/ in early October, we've got an annual rewatch stream where hundreds of anons gather together on cytube and rewatch the series and prominent pieces of fan content. It's great. >DEDY VOEVALI #80 Kek. I've seen those signs on bus stops, in public transport, in shops, plastered on random houses and big advertisement displays, there are even fucking stands with plastic cutouts of that statue. It's ridiculous. It really is a cult.
>>383470 People are missing it was glownigger on glownigger action. Sharty glownigger trannies ruined the site that was being staffed/shilled by their own people.
>retards itt think it was muh feds, falling for fake screenshots, and the thread has falseflagging foodists. Oh wait nvm this shithole is a /pol/ spinoff, i shouldn't be surprised if it's infested by schizo retards.
>>383480 Yeah just like how they were framed for Solomon Henderson's mass shooting grooming. Kek sharty shill. >>383486 Kek Sharty tranny having a meltie due to how fast people figured out their bullshit.
>>383354 I miss /fascism/ It was a place where intellectual conversation about nationalism, third positionism, and national socialism. Then leftypol killed it.
>>383506 Hiro has made an appearance on twitter and suggested that the team are working to fix the issues behind the scenes and that 4chan should be back in the nearish future
>>383514 >Unironically this place is the only good replacement for /mlp/, other places are Jewcentrals >>383518 >God forsaken hellhole Pick one or submit to greece
friendly reminder to anyone who thinks that horse pussy is too weird for feds - feds the biggest sickos of all and far worse than any garden variety internet degenerate
>>383550 That is a concept I could never quite understand. We're supposed to do the opposite of what glowies say or is it just a phrase used against Anons trying to organize something?
>>383616 I'm think it does it's just a bit hard to tell the difference between icons. Also you can change the settings to make a noise when you get a (You) >>383617 it came to me in a dream
I have a bunch of videos queued up from the regular talking heads and a few unrecognized voices, the SoyJack thread, the Kiwi Farms thread, and this thread open. I have a chat in a chatroom to read, and I've absorbed bits and pieces of stuff on Mastodon.
Time to see how bad my information addiction is, and what's going on.
Current state of sites:
4chin - broken nhnb - working mlpol - working soyjack - working pony.social (mastodon)- working pone.social (mastodon) - working ponerpics - working
Looking at soyjack as a data point to show that it doesn't look like a wider attack on imageboards.
Holy crap, the soyjack thread is at over seven-thousand five-hundred replies. I have ZERO chance of following this in real time.
What is the best way to keep up with this thing and stay informed without babysitting a ton of different information sources and getting lost somewhere along the way?
>>383621 I wonder why they haven't put it back up in read-only mode like smutty? Afraid he left a way to get back in? Afraid people have already made exploits using vulnerabilities in the source code which would bypass read-only?
I haven't read through these things yet, and they're obviously being posted to faster than I can keep up with, but these sources should serve someone well.
>>383622 >What is the best way to keep up with this thing and stay informed without babysitting a ton of different information sources and getting lost somewhere along the way? If it's important enough you'll eventually hear about it, don't worry too much.
I've set up a thread on /qa/ for suggestions about site features that maybe exist on 4chan or its addons but we don't have here, if you want to see about those being added >>>/qa/9226 →
>>383653 I worry about some of you guys, I can't tell you everything. Palantir and Anduril, ask yourself if any of these things are intended to benefit you, the burgoid citizen.
>>383656 While I don't like mass surveillance that doesn't look like anything new other than maybe the autonomous AI, but I doubt Thiel is the only one working in that space.
>>383657 I searched and people are still using the same fucking /dbs/ thread as last night to talk about it. What a pain in the ass to use the chunk method
>>383663 You should look into Thiel and his associates a little more. jewish transhumanists, very diabolical people. Also trying to buy at 4kidz as reffed above. Oh my friend, the rabbit hole is deep and ugly and even nationalist right circles rarely talk about it. Soros for the "right"
>>383024 About a month or two ago I recall some posters on /pol/ speculating new UK regs due to land April 17th (iirc) would have held gookmoot liable for "unlawful" content. The timing couldn't be better. The longer 4chan stays down, the more I'll believe this.
I was just asking horsefuckers on the /fimfiction/ thread for good eternal twilicorn fics due to my seasonal once every 5 years MLP fixation phase The fact shtf and brought me here just as I was doing it is ironic on its own Anyhow, what's the next og autism point of rallying if it actually stays down? cytube rigging? here? sushi?
>>383309 >Whats the kind of moderation like for thread-warring faction faggots turning /mlp/ into console wars? I can't speak to the threads, but I can say that if you, or anyone else, wants to come to the Friday night Watch Parties, that we'll tolerate nonsense and arguments up to a point, then it'll either be settled in a time limit, or the topic will be shut down if it's deemed too much.
Just found this place from ghost posts on desuarchive. Are there any other altchans I should be aware about as I settle in for the long wait? There was another pony altchan I used to have bookmarked but lost. Used to visit it when I was serious about tulpa stuff.
>>383680 >what's the next og autism point of rallying if it actually stays down? cytube rigging? If you're looking for something like a planned social event, we've got a weekly Watch Party room on CyTube. Starts around 7pm EST on Fridays, and goes for 6+ hours.
I put together a one hour playlist from YouTube with music, animations and such, focusing on fan-made MLP content, then there's an episode or two of a show. We transition to the second half of the night here operated by someone else who shows some shorts, a classic show, then a movie, then ponies. The japanese dub of G4 and an ep of G3.
We'll have a different schedule than usual because our usual movie streamer is going to be busy this week.
>>383240 I read it a few years ago, pacing and writing are solid. If Sci-fi is your thing you might enjoy it (Not sure if its been finished.) Personally I found The Princess and Kaiser and Heart of War to be among the most well written, both are incredibly long but are on hiatus.
>>383695 holy cope. you will not find a bigger 4chan shill than me because I believe in this website regardless of the tranny jannys and glownigger but i really am starting to think if they let it die for that long the impatient modern users will just make other sites far faster especially if they can somehow pump the domain name to the top of the search results.
>>383687 Sounds great atm, what's the channel? I'll prob be there >>383686 You can have some nice cozy and polite talk down at sushigirl dot us, the rolls are very comfy frens If you want larger but still comfy interaction then I'm pretty sure on the implying rigged wiki there'll be some discord links, pretty sure the /pol/ one is there somewhere if fapoleon and canes didn't take it down when shlomo died, and there's also the cytube cup channel that's always liv The bulk of the anons from what I've seen are kvetching on kiwifarms though >>383692 >Heart of War Am I retarded? I can't find it by that name >>383695 "Fake according to the IRC", allegedly
Peter Thiel is trying to buy out 4chan through charlotte fang / miya the black heart cyber angel / dresden. Look into these people and you'll find plenty of fucked up shit
>>383705 honestly i feel like I'm probably the only one that can hold 4chan. I am idealistic about it, but while i could be trusted with it i couldnt ever really afford it. is there even anyone else out there with the credability to not destroy the site? most people i think would be suited to run it personality wise arent big e celeb type people
>>383706 Nothing. Everything. Pithy and useless. Please, you need to do some research, find out how the orange won the 2016 election. It's not because he likes you or respects your privacy. CIA hirelings abound and many of them are rightly terrified for their disgusting skins.
>>383700 Oh well, maybe looking at more like a month to fix it then? Plenty of time to try out some altboards I guess, but the community will be splintered harder than 4vs8
>>383713 How many altboards are there? I mean, for "our" population. Are we looking at altboards that have /mlp/ content on them, stuff that allows /pol/ish content, or just any sort of imageboard activities at all?
>>383713 Who knows. The xitter post seems to be giving the implication it'll be down for an extended period. >>383714 Frankly I just want to be where the majority of other horsefuckers went. A site is just a site. The anons posting are the community.
If the content in the Kiwi thread is any indication, /mlp/ may be gone for quite a while, or worse. Huge shame. Mainly used to lurk or just participate in cyoa threads (even as few as they were compared to years ago). Not sure how communication will reach from those few qms on any continued content if 4chan does stay down, and that kind of brings a fear of ghosting.
It's very unlikely that 4chan will return soon. It wasn't just compromising a single account, the entire server was compromised. And if they just tried to restore it as it was, the same backdoors would be there. It will probably be a couple weeks minimum before this is fixed. Their code hasn't been touched since moot left
>>383721 They were depending on security by obscurity. Now that the site's source code has been dumped, they have to plug every vulnerability that has been left in the site for decades.
>>383724 2 splits on the same imageboard? Yeah that's just like 8chan was when everyone could make a board, but eh I think everyone's going to end up dead with all the fractures.
>>382953 >Anon, Lee terrorized horsefuckers for years because it aired right after Barney and there is now the possibility that barneyfag was/is a janny https://bvll.neocities.org/j/8592#p8598
>>383758 True, there's quite a lot of work to be done. I wouldn't be surprised if the site was down for a couple of days while they overhaul the system.
>>383758 >implying they had any for years While I was considering buying the pass in the past, now I will definitely stay the fuck away from it when the 4chan return.
>>383762 I had planned on getting one for some shenanigens, but not now, for sure. The soyjack guy said he's not going to dox the paypigs, but that doesn't mean someone else can't or won't. 4chan has to not only fix the damage but fix all the vulnerabilities, and the consensus from the leaks is that there isn't enough competence to do both.
It's so funny to read posts from sweet summer childs like this one, being someone who has always sat on little imageboards.
https://mlpol.net/poner/54#396 >The fact that the 4 sites that people have seeked refugee too are only getting like 1 post/reply every 3 minutes is really sad. I feel so alone like I'm on an abandoned side of the internet.
>>383767 Ehh, most of the traffic in modern /mlp/ seem to came from shit posta and bots posting the same formula of "single not even vaguely pony pic, retarded statement formed as a question, one post". I don't missied it.
>>383767 It can be rather jarring when you don't have posts popping up every minute but the other side of it is that threads stay up a lot longer (and also don't seem to have a bump limit) so you can say something, go away and do stuff and then come back some time later a lot more easily. On 4chan usually the thread isn't there any more if you were to go away and come back in a few hours.
>>383772 There is a bump limit, but it's like 500 or something, and /vx/ may have bump limits disabled. Not sure a thread in /sp/ has gotten enough posts for a bump limit to matter, likewise for /ub/, /a/, /cyb/ or /qa/. /go/ was the "greatest hits" archive that went into disuse after a while. The welcome thread is WAY past bump which is why it's pinned, and that thread has LORE if anyone is morbidly curious
>>383775 I was noticing that. The value of the bump limit can be changed in one of the staff menus, relatively easily so it's whatever it has been set to. The only time the board is slid is when it's a raid, but threads automatically archive so as soon as the spam is removed everything is unchanged, so bump limits may have been removed entirely
>>383778 It would make sense if the admin just disabled it for this thread so it remains here for people to find rather than falling off the board all the time (and might also be site wide, who knows).
>>383784 Just pick a couple and post if you find anything. Rather than having 20 people all try to read the entire thing themselves, it would be more efficient if 20 people read a part of it and reported back if they found something.
>>383621 The sharty's own summary of events: https://wiki.soyjak.st/The_Great_Cuckset Don't know if they'll keep it updated as 4chan goes back up, but it at least gives a quick rundown of the hack itself
>>383785 Doing my part then. >4471 Jannies talking about cooking? I guess if anyone needed proof they aren't robots. >5147 Surprisingly reasonable discussion of banning gun control posts on /k/. They seem to recognize that it can be on topic. >5333 Jannies noticing that everything on /a/ and /v/ is political around the 2016 election. >8289 Jannies celebrating Christmas >9838 Jannies pondering when and why new boards are created. Ends with the excerpt I posted.
>>383772 /mlp/ was slow enough that threads could stay like easily 10+ hours with no bumps at all, so just one or maybe two anons would be enough to keep a thread up. A thread dying in "a few hours" (so like 4-5) would be very rare and a sign of unusual posting activity or maybe someone trying to slide things.
Not everything has to be /v/ or /pol/ tier, those really are too fast to follow unless you're actually actively online. But /mlp/ was so slow you could still easily check your favourite threads once a day and they'd have like 10-15 posts each. And I do think that's somewhat comfier than the entire board getting 10-15 posts in a day and a thread you like maybe getting two posts per week.
>>383791 >#253 Discussion on the rules governing rapidshared content on /co/ and the possibility of updating them.
>#272 About the policy on motivators on /a/. They are to be deleted and user banned if they persist.
>#281 About deleting unmarked spoilers on /a/. They are to be deleted even if the series is old.
>#282 A janny is unsure on what should be deleted on /s/. They are bothered by fake tits and female bodybuilders and wonder if they should be allowed. They are told by a Mod that discussion should improve the board as a whole. Good discussion should be left alone even if the content personally displeases them. The picture should be judged on its own merits. Another janny then says that they will instantly delete any picture they consider "gross" even if people seem to be enjoying it, and that they believe the board has too much porn on it. Finally something about "report "misa campo/leah dizon" catchphrases as ban-requests"
>#288 Asking whether they should delete dogs, cats and prinnies from /c/ as they should apparently be posted on /cm/. Told that animal pictures as well as anything close to furry should be deleted with the exception of catgirls. A mod asks why anime animals can't be posted on /a/. People then agree and say anime animals are fine, just no furries or photographs.
>#295 Asking whether fapping to female mech pilots is allowed on /m/. Another janny says they would rather not see female pilots on /m/. That /m/ is sfw so there should be nothing too revealing and that they can be strict about it being a mech board so at least try to relate it to a mech.

>>383699 It's not on fimfiction https://ponepaste.org/user/ThingPaste I rember reading this on pastebin after finding it I'm a write fag thread a day or two after mlpol blessed us with its presence.
>>383816 Not everyone who uses /pol/ knows about other chans, or at least all other chans. We're here but who knows what's going on in other corners of the internet.
Am i the only one who find this hack a bit strange? It's weird that the hacker didn't delete datatables to cause more havoc considering they are from sharty and they supposedly hate 4chan. Now the 4chan stuff will be able to restore most if not everything without data loss.
>>383816 My guess is that most anons have no fucking idea what is going on. So basically they are refreshing 4chan pages, getting CF error with no actual information and think this is just bit prolonged downtime. So it will take day or two when actual crawling around net starts as reality is hitting.
>>383824 >So basically they are refreshing 4chan pages, getting CF error with no actual information and think this is just bit prolonged downtime. I'm sure they aren't that dumb and will immediately search the reason for it.
>>383824 4chan getting hacked at least is fairy big news. They might not know much more than that but if they have looked at the internet at all they will probably be aware.
>>383823 My guess is even they has sentimental feeling for 4chan. They probably still browse there too considering how legitimately awful sharty is. At least they vindicated /pol/ and the chuds by showing how da joos are truly behind everything.
>>383831 I can't remember what thread I was in but before I went to bed I saw the message about /qa/ and the music playing. The site was broken when I woke up again.
>>383831 I went to sleep a few hours before the hack and woke up a few hours after the site died. Initially assumed it was just downtime and then slowly figured out what happened. My pathological online habits suffered greatly when I couldn't check all my generals for new posts in the morning.
>>383835 >My pathological online habits suffered greatly when I couldn't check all my generals for new posts in the morning. Same here, 4chan has become the sole place of my internet activity due to how shit the rest of internet has become. It's ironic how one of my first visited sites back in 2007 ended up my only visited one in 2025.
>>383831 I was on /co/, probably looking at one of the storytimes (the only good reason to go there these days). By the time I saw the message and went to /qa/, it was already locked and I couldn't post anymore.
>>383831 It was a drawfag thread, I was about to make an request but the site just wouldn't load, than I found people posting about 4chin being hacked so I guess I will chill with you guys for time being.
>>383831 I was on a /pol/ thread shitting on Spaniards on why the spanish empire sucked at developing latam,, after that I went to sleep and then got the news that 4chan is down
What do you guys think about this assessment? I'm inclined to agree. Should 4chan die forever, i don't think any replacement site would get much traction. Everyone would scatter and huddle in their own small boards, discord circlejerks and other similar places. I just feel like any kind of "new 4chan" can't make it big in the modern internet and the original site is pretty much irreplaceable.
>>383850 I agree but I also disagree plenty of people face this every day when they see the site they knew change for the worse. Hell I became a fucking normlperson because I was tired of being treated like shit on /tg/ for posting 2hus and not being terminally brain damaged about how the mechanics of a game work. and shit has only gone even more down hill now. I pretty much wouldn't ever use 4chan if /tg/ was the only board left on it, and only finding untouched communities within it made it worth staying to me.
>>383850 Its the layout for me. Other alt chans, including this one, unfortunately have confusing and unpleasant lay out. 4chan layout is just less offensive to the eye and more intuitive. Sharty for example genuinely hurt my eyes, the background is too bright and the font is too small and messy.
>>383855 I have no idea what you mean when you say this sites layout is worse. I have seen some chans that are even better than mlpol though. one let you have a chicago95 style board. I want it so bad but I cant refind it.
One of these niggers banned me for shitting on indog on /v/ and made miss out the touhou thread on /MLP/. I hope the shartniggers fill his hardrive with CP and call the FBI on him.
>>383850 It's rather pessimistic but not necessarily entirely wrong. A bunker needs widespread knowledge and good organisation. I think modern /mlp/ is possibly too fractured for that to be possible. /vt/, for example, apparently immediately moved to some other website, but /vt/ was much newer so they had already just built up a super fast board basically from nothing only a couple of years ago, making it much easier for everyone to coordinate a migration. /mlp/ has over a decade of history, multiple groups that hate each other (to make things better, often with variously complex overlaps between the groups), nobody agreeing on the best way to run things with everybody having strong opinions on this, and plenty of anons either having holed themselves up in some small selection of generals, or just taking frequent massive breaks, etc.
The one thing that every /mlp/ poster has in common is that we were all tolerating /mlp/ as it was, no more rules and no fewer, no better jannying and no worse. It was the lowest common denominator and as such the one place where everyone could still be counted on posting in. With that option removed, and everyone forced to "pick" their "favourite" alternative, the rifts in ideology between the posters are just going to open up immediately and you'll end up with competing camps hating each other. You already see this with nhnb and here.
Maybe, maybe, if there was a single obvious "alt-/mlp/" that everyone knew of and treated as the obvious bunker/alternative, with no other viable or trusted ones existing, maybe then a migration would've been possible. But as it stands we've already splintered into two on day 1, and I think that anon is also not wrong that plenty of anons just didn't think about bunkers at all and don't know about either of these.
>>383874 >You already see this with nhng and here False. Nobody who has been here prior to 2 days ago knows the first thing about nhng, and the posts that assert animus are inauthentic and homosexual.
>>383874 Yeah, good post. I feel like most of these problems come down to people caring too much about stupid, irrelevant stuff. It's the fate of all communities that have been around for a long period of time - you have multiple little cliques and circlejerks, and people get too comfortable in their little groups and begin forget why we are all here in the first place.
>>383875 I am talking about specifically the refugees. I'm not saying there was ever any bad blood between nhnb and /mlpol/, I'm saying the /mlp/ posters trying to pick a board are already picking a favourite one of the two and forming camps against the other, such as calling nhnb ruletrannies (even based on hearsay and wrong info) or nhnb calling any critics barbiefags (even without any eqg context).
>>383874 Oh yeah, forgot to mention - i wasn't talking about /mlp/ specifically but rather about the site as a whole. I don't think there will ever be another 4chan if the original one goes down for good. >>383882 I think this board was spammed by Sharty pretty badly a couple years ago. They have an article about raids on this website on their wiki
>>383886 That was another time. When was tirech created, 16 (!!!) years ago? The internet was very different back then. I feel like imageboards are a pretty obsolete website format as of now in the sense that here's much less demand for them in comparison with the early 2010s.
>>383884 Oh yeah, for the entire site it's looking grim. I don't much care about /pol/ or /v/ - though I admit the big boards like that did serve kind of as my doomscrolling fodder, I never made a tiktok or anything but just refereshing the /pol/ catalog and scrolling through was a go-to timewaster. Still, objectively not important (to me). But I've already lamented above about some of the smaller boards. /g/ had a lot of consumerist garbage but some very nice discussion too, and was healthily fast - almost every general-purpose altchan has a "tech" board but they're all absolute graveyards. /diy/ had some nice threads to hang out in. /ck/ was fun to scroll through. /vg/ was mostly a shiftest but there are one or two generals that also felt like part of my home, I'll miss /egg/ if it dies for good, and again the good ones didn't have an associated discord or anything so there's no way for anyone to coordinate and nobody planned any backups. /wsg/ was fun to scroll though once or twice a month. /an/ had some quality threads, and again 8chan apparently has zoo allowed on its /mlp/ but it's going to be orders of magnitude slower, and without any of the non-explicit comfy discussions and the non-horse stuff.
All of this stuff will basically be gone forever without 4chan. Aside from the big boards, 4chan was basically THE western imageboard, and as such THE host for hobby boards. Without 4chan, various hobby topics simply do not have any imageboard space left at all, period. It's all going to be discord servers, maybe half-dead forums, and garbage like that.
>>383890 >All of this stuff will basically be gone forever without 4chan. Aside from the big boards, 4chan was basically THE western imageboard, and as such THE host for hobby boards. Without 4chan, various hobby topics simply do not have any imageboard space left at all, period. It's all going to be discord servers, maybe half-dead forums, and garbage like that. Very true, and that's why i want 4chan to come back up so much. There's simply no place like it. Although i feel like me may be doomposting too much - i mean, the team behind the site is still there. They've got their work cut out for them, sure, but rebuilding the website isn't an insurmountable task. 4chan will be back, probably before may.
>>383888 I'm more optimistic about imageboards when you think about it, IBs are the simplest form of public forum one can have on the Internet: No registration, just text, images and numbered posts A noticeable chunk of zoomers dislike modern web, some of them migrate to private discussion platforms just to keep themselves "sane" let's ignore common problem of private discords, okay?/ I do believe that, given a proper environment, boards can become "popular" as they once were years ago.
>>383831 I was on /fimfiction/ ranting about the Glim fanfic that the kiwi author abandoned since 2013 and I was severely invested in Then I noticed the /qa/ thing with the hirogook post and the music, listened to it on repeat for quite a while and then everything died when I refreshed the thread
>>383895 >I do believe that, given a proper environment, boards can become "popular" as they once were years ago. Well, i suppose that's where we disagree. I don't think imageboards will ever truly die - like you said, they offer a very easy way to communicate with other people and on imageboards you don't have to commit to anything or worry about keeping up your image or anything like that. There will always be some demand for such forums. On the other hand, i feel like you are overestimating the amount of people who care about or need this sort of thing. People are fine with Discord and Reddit and whatever other social media they may prefer. Imageboards will always be a pretty niche thing, with 4chan being an exception due to how popular it is.
>>383898 > or worry about keeping up your image That's an absolutely huge thing, though. Lots of 4chan's boards were driven by posts/threads that were used as a "test" before they "risked" posting them to reddit
Afternoon, this thread seems to be the best place to post. I'm one of the admins of Ponepaste, I've put up a banner to help lost anons find their way to find more pony. A few have asked to add this place to the list if you want to send some traffic your way. If you want me too then I will, the offer is there.
>>383933 Yeah, the amount of esl I saw from leafs was even greater than mutt flags. It was especially easy to tell them apart from actual canucks when they got riled up over shitposters fucking with them.
>>383219 I haven't been here in the past few years, and just remembered about this place today. For what it's worth, I always felt that the "no generals" rule was completely useless. There are still general threads that persist for ages, like that eternal Trixie thread. All that the rule accomplished is that the general threads on this site superficially avoid the G-word in their titles.
While we're still here, is ponerpics ever going to get fixed? There are several functions that straight up don't work like "Related" and galleries.Next and previous image don't work neither. Is there any chance these bugs are going to get fixed?
>>383692 Thank you for your input. ^^ >The Princess and Kaiser and Heart of War I will check them out. Is Heart of War the one about Flurry Heart become a warrior princess or ruler?
>>383963 Yeah it jumps between her, Anon, and an oc. I think both technically have her becoming the sole monarch, just with vastly different undertones. Fantastic reads by all means, should probably keep you occupied for 3 or so weeks.
>>383972 >>383963 >incomplete I strongly urge you to think about this fact before you delve in. I fell for it with "Asylum" and i fell for it with "Equestria's Twilight", and the longer and more engaging the story, the more awful you feel when it ends on a cliffhanger and the author has no intention of ever finishing it. You do you, but i have learned my lesson and only read finished stories now.
>>383975 Wise words, wise words. I started on The Princess and the Kaiser myself when it was getting nearly weekly updates, and look where it is now - over a year gone by with zero progress.
>>383975 Jej. I once read a manga that accidentally did a late series character development ~40 chapters in, walked it back, then made another 100 chapters of haremslop. Complete waste of time.
>>383980 vpn again. Also, an anon from /fimfic/ downloaded a fimfiction archive, analyzed it and found a number of other stories that had new chapters added like 10 years later. Of course these are extremely rare outliers, but you never know.
>>383975 Brutal I pleasantly spent 2 weeks going at a leisurely pace through 130k words of Not My Destiny and Glim, getting invested into the caracters, only to hit the fact that its been left incomplete 12 years ago
>>383975 >>383977 I see where you are both coming from, and I might only be speaking for myself when I say this. But reading as many stories as possible gives some very helpful insights if you intend on creating your own fic. Be it with plot direction, pacing, and even genre to an extent. Ive followed Heart of War since 2017 and have subconsciously compared every other single piece I've read with it. So much so that I want to write my own, but don't want to disappoint any readers by inadvertently dropping off the face of the earth.
>>383980 >>383982 This does happen, but it happens extremely rarely, and in the vast majority of cases even if there is one more update it is almost always goes like this >author comes back after years and years >posts new chapter >"hey guys I'm back! I'm gonna finish my old story now!" >never logs in again The cases of an ancient story actually getting picked back up AND FINISHED are probably in the single digits, especially if the gap is longer than 2-3 years (a "short" hiatus like that is a bit more plausible).
Mind you for Princess and Kaiser, I don't think it's totally dead, I've heard that apparently the author is really busy IRL but has still been working on upcoming chapters. Plus a single year is not a death sentence yet. But it is still very jarring when you're reading regular updates and then suddenly get stuck for a literal year+, and also the fic is now downgraded from being super active and reliable to "maybe it's not dead, hopefully" which is a lot less certain.
>>383983 That is a fair point. Some people also think the experience is worth the brief disappointment at the end. Though mind you if you want to read to become a better writer, you're probably much better off reading classic literature, the kind that's critically acclaimed. Some pony fics do reach a very high standard, but most even "good" fics are more like good enough as amateur writing and enjoyable as far as ponyfics go, and of course the majority is really rather subpar and flawed.
>>383983 If you want to write something you should. Maybe it will go somewhere and maybe it won't but at least you have something written that could go somewhere.
>>383985 I've had ideas for a fic floating in my head for years and have committed a lot of ideas to memory and notes. I actually hashed out a rough structure for the first few chapters after reading P&K and put a few paragraphs into pastebin before crashing at my desk. I'm set for a week of vacation after Easter Sunday, so I'll hopefully be able to throw a prologue up and get some opinions on it in the near future.
>>383988 >Though mind you if you want to read to become a better writer, you're probably much better off reading classic literature Should also add, I've been neck deep in a lot of black library books and other warhammer literature. Ciaphas Cain and the Gotrek & Felix series to name a few examples. But the mods just had to drop gr15 for the recent April fools and reactivate my itch for pone. Hence my urge to put pen to paper.
>>383983 >>383988 By the way, if this is the first time you're doing any creative writing, common wisdom is that (like most other things you do for the first time) it's very unlikely that you will get everything right. So just like with any other skill, it's important to start actually doing and practicing. But don't necessarily expect to put out a magnum opus with zero prior experience. Of course that's not prescriptive, and it's possible to start writing and then improve as you go and then for example go back and re-edit earlier chapters. Writing is more important than not writing, either way. Just something to keep in mind - not meant to discourage, but rather on the opposite to encourage you to just go ahead and do it and not get bogged down in perfectionism by setting your own expectations too high for yourself, and thus never getting any practice in because you're unsatisfied with what you're coming up while lacking the practice and experience to do better.
Talking about incomplete fics, I remember when i was epicly trolled by the author. So i see this story - "letters from a friend at the end of the world" https://www.fimfiction.net/story/65656/ 130k words, a Trixie redemption story - an interesting premise, finished , so i decided to give it a read. Guess what? Turned out it's the FIRST part of the story that ends on a cliffhanger, and the second part was abandoned in 2014 after a single chapter. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/233420/ Why wouldn't you at least leave a note about it in the description or before the first chapter? I was extremely dissapointed.
>>384009 As it is past bump limit its time is limited no matter what and less and less people will be able to find it as it slides down the board. A fresh thread that collects any useful info before it disappears would probably be wise.
>>384012 Fair point. So "4chan refugee rendezvous point" of sorts with a QRD of the hack details and a QRD of /mlpol/ and where to go (mainly highlighting /poner/ and >>383305, basically)
>>384014 Something like that. There's also the janny logs to work though. I did about 7 so far and another guy a few more and I might go through more later. It's quite an interesting insight into the life of a janny, gives us an idea of what gets done for free and gives us something to do.
>>384016 That's true. Actually maybe the next thread should be posted in /poner/, since that's explicitly the /pol/-free /mlp/-only board for /mlp/ refugees. Based anons can then migrate to /mlpol/ also but those who want to remain contained won't have to venture outside.
>>384017 I think an OP/qrd can just link the neocities link. A thread digging through it and posting findings sounds fun though.
>>384021 There are loads of logs and that neocities is quite slow to load. Going through them is more difficult than you might think but I believe it's a worthy exercise overall.
>>383995 I mean the whole second part of that story has been finished. Of course, that ended on somewhat of a cliffhanger too so I'm waiting for part 3 to be released and hopefully that'll end the story but it's such a well written fic I really don't mind because it takes so long to get through both parts. It also could be worse, you could be waiting for the author to continue Night's Favoured Child for like 12 years.
>>384023 Maybe but not necessarily. I dunno, I'd make it in /poner/ but I don't have a strong opinion on it.
>>384028 I am angry because it's advertised as a "trilogy" but the definition of a trilogy is three separate stories within the same continuity. The Horizons series is literally a single story, just formatted in three volumes, which is not what a trilogy is.
>>384031 >I am angry because it's advertised as a "trilogy" but the definition of a trilogy is three separate stories within the same continuity Do you want it to be three seperate stories? I kind of liked that the plot focused mostly on the mane six. I assume the author is going for a lotr style where each story continues immediately from where the last one ended and will culmiate with everyone meeting up and having some final epic showdown with celestia or some such. In any case, it could definitely be worse since author is still active unlike Night's Favoured Child where I have to assume the author died or something.
>>384038 I am going to make a thread here that collects information about the hack from this thread and anything we know about when/if 4chan is coming back. You can make something on /poner/ as well if you like.
>>384036 No, I want the author to be clear about it being one story, an incomplete one, rather than slapping the "complete" label and tricking me into reading it. >I assume the author is going for a lotr style I agree, yeah >where each story continues immediately from where the last one ended No, LoTR style is where it's a single story and it ends exactly once.
>>383875 >1PBID The fracture point exists now, and didn't exist before. People from nhnb are shitting up mlpol and /poner/, since they believe all the bad people are over here, and all the based people are over there they dont care. The old alliance of /mlp/ and /pol/ doesn't mean anything to these chronic ragefags
>>382875 Mostly altchans, I should think. Xitter was regarded with contempt by most Anons there, excluding botfags and glowies constantly making Xitter screencap threads
>>382944 >>382933 Sharty are a tranny grooming cult backed by feds. They groomed Solomon Henderson to attempt a mass shooting. Don't underestimate their psychopathy or manipulation.
I think feds are under new management and wants their tranny cult to go away. Intel agencies don't announce firings or new plans/goals.
>>384059 >No, I want the author to be clear about it being one story, an incomplete one, rather than slapping the "complete" label and tricking me into reading it. Eh, I can't really be too mad about it, if it were one story it'd still be listed as incomplete now and as you said, I may have never read it. However, I really enjoyed reading what is finished so far so I don't really have any regrets about it and I assumed the author did it so they could take breaks between writing the different installments.
>>383831 Idk what it was but I was arguing with an anon about how big mares should. Judging by the real ponies, average adult equestrian mares should be around vid related. What do you guys think? Is it a good canon size for mares? Should we ask Ms. Faust how big FiM ponies are?
>>384141 Oh alright, I interpreted that as she was on screen at one point in a flashback. I haven't watched any of the episodes following the release of the movie.
>>384155 Lasting impression on site quality too. The slow slide into shit was so slow it's hard to notice. It's a breach of fresh air being on mlpol/8chan
>>383874 >The one thing that every /mlp/ poster has in common there was also the migration off of pastebin to ponepaste that what seemed like a supermajority also agreed upon
>>384183 I mean the thing is pastebin wasn't some primary community site, it was just a tool we used to host our greentexts. The tool became unusable, someone made a better tool for poni needs, everyone started using that instead. A far cry from the board itself getting imploded and everyone having to coordinate moving somewhere else without even being able to, well, talk on the board.
>>384186 you're not wrong i was referring to the 'oh shit' factor that every anon at the time had, because all it really was one day was pastebin putting up a warning that they were going to start purging pastes (read: shit they didn't like), causing horsefuckers to panic and start archiving everything similar to what /h/ and other boards did when it was thought that sadpanda was getting shut down that combined effort of archiving/evacuating every last pony greentext from pastebin while ponepaste could get built in the first place really stuck out to me, and the fact that /mlp/ was better prepared for pastebin's purge than /g/, /mu/, or other boards was very amusing to me
>>384187 Oh yeah, archiving is some good autism. Horsefucker archiving is pretty good in general, see: TPA for youtube videos, ponemusic for music (rip though), etc. Or the boorus having multiple copies. Or the /mlpg/ archives which, as far as I can tell, are some of the few surviving archived threads from so far back. It's nice.
>>383874 >The one thing that every /mlp/ poster has in common is that we were all tolerating /mlp/ as it was, no more rules and no fewer, no better jannying and no worse. It was the lowest common denominator and as such the one place where everyone could still be counted on posting in. With that option removed, and everyone forced to "pick" their "favourite" alternative, the rifts in ideology between the posters are just going to open up immediately and you'll end up with competing camps hating each other. You already see this with nhnb and here.
People are tribal in nature and it getting worse by the day. But in the end of the day it's the survival of the fittest and eventually 4chan had to go down.
>>384158 unfortunately a lot of the places on 4chan i go to probably wont survive without a real chan. the idiots in isekai wont survive smuglo.li's autistic spell everything grammatically correct /a/. /vg/ had a section for kirby, megaman, and falcom games. mlp had tech sanctuary and im just not confident we'll see that continue here but we'll see. I wonder if the mint threads will move here for now. I dont know if I ended up getting my coin or not.
>>384205 >>383874 personally I understand the hatred of barbies given they are ugly and all, but i hope mlpol's poner survives, we already have /ponerpics/ and honestly we need a way to preserve content from eqg especially the voice lines without atuistic ziggers starting fights over it. this isnt fucking 4chan so everyone can >nohooves to their hearts content without tranny jannies approval. that ought to be enough for people. In my opinion while I am a huge 4chan fanboy the site spiritually breathed its last death when the sage command was no longer allowed to be announced so it could not be taught to minorities.
>>384207 I'll say here and say it again, fuck the tranny jannies on 4chan.
There was this russian poster on /pol/ and whenever somebody make a thread with a sexy woman pic in the op, the russian would always reply with a furry fox pic and post that say "no tail". Guess who get ban? The russian furry poster. Everyday I pray that Putin never conscript this man so he can keep posting furry fox pics and making the jannies work.
>>384212 There have been many such staples of culture that were sistematically destroyed by overjannying The BGC greek dude was also one of them, there was another russian spamming venti with "0/10" on every woman bread, the fact that one could get a very big holiday by provoking lee into the thread (I personally liked doing it with picrel, was hit or miss for both baiting barneyfag and getting b&), surely there are many other better examples But still, 4ch is like a public walk, society in the open, even if it was full of degeneracy and overmoderation one could still get a chuckle out of it by lurking on a handpicked thread. The fact that sharties went ham on it out of self-righteous wokeism is very retarded Even more so that the large amount of real organic traffic down there prob went out onto twitter and discord circlejerks at this point, it's only dwindling even more the whole imageboard ecosphere
>>384216 to be honest i dont blame sharty but i also think they where short sighted, if i had that kind of back door i would try to find a way to get long term access.
It's baffling that anyone's treating this as if 4chan is going to die for good when we know for a fact it's infested with feds. It's too useful to them for cointel purposes to go away forever, it'll be a couple weeks at most, but it'll go back up and it'll be back to business as usual.
>>384218 while I agree that it will be back up within a couple of weeks, I am unsure if it will be business as usual. I suspect that there will be a decent sized drop in users. Which might be good for some boards, but bad for places like /mlp/
>>384216 overjannying have destroyed too many boards on 4chan. I know for a fact a tranny janny went hard on /u/. I also the BGC greek guy. So many funny moments.
>>384224 /u/ used to have a dedicated mlp thread back in the day and do their own rpg maker threads. it was never good even back then but its a shell of itself now which is odd given how much free real estate dykeshittery gets.
>>384218 the problem isnt that we know its useful the problem is theyre a bunch of whiney inshitified retards who can barely even do their jobs on their best day of the year. nobody has any reason to think they wont cock it up enough to kill the site.
>>384222 Imageboard users aren't that transient, I already know a bunch of people that keep trying to get onto the site even though they know it's down, all out of sheer rote.
>>384227 Whether they can do their jobs well or not isn't the relevant bit, it's that they want 4chan to continue existing for cointel purposes. That's pretty much why it stuck around this long despite being decried globally as a so-called problem. It is actively being protected by the US feds ever since they gained control over it in the late 00s over the CP issue, and extended it to /pol/ 2016 and onwards. The US isn't even the only country with a vested interest in 4chan staying online.
>>384235 >Whether they can do their jobs well or not isn't the relevant bit, it's that they want 4chan to continue existing for cointel purposes if you do a shitty job running the nuclear reactor in a submarine it doesnt matter how much you need the sub, the reactor is going to melt down and you will lose your sub. the people in charge of 4chan have no answer for this, and the fact that it got that way in the first place has everyone cogent of the fact. If they had any sense at all, they would just put the site up and hire a couple people to watch it. but they wont. they are retards anon. utter retards. they cant problem solve like this.
>>384212 I could have sworn he was FSB or some level of government intelligence. His whole job was probably to shitpost anthro waifus, which I can respect. Even though I prefer pony.
at some point i'll need to acknowledge the 4chan tabs open on my browser aren't ever going to update again, but not today. people are strange. i know enough about IT to be aware those threads aren't coming back even if the site comes back. you'd have to fight me to close them.
>>384321 They have thread numbers, so when the site does come back you'll be able to look them up in the archives and also use them as a reminder of which threads to seek out again to lurk in. That being said it's not necessarily guaranteed they'll do a post DB wipe. They might, especially if it's easier and they find the work to migrate and patch everything already hard enough, so it's perhaps even likely, but there's nothing saying that they must definitely do it.
a guy from here had been hanging out in my thread on trash for a couple of weeks, but now with the rush of people i doubt i'll spot him.
so, fun story about QA, from waaay back. i forgot all about this, but there used to be a guy in my group who made it his life mission to annoy QA. they fucking hated him, it was hilarious. he was an invincible ban evader that would come back any time mods banned him. crazy swedish bastard, i never found out what happened to him.
>>384440 he called himself rainbow wuma, and would post smug rainbow dash pics in 10 seconds flat after every ban.
>>384442 my thread was one of the last remnants of the first /b/ pony threads from a long time ago. i'm the dedicated autist that was keeping the official pony thread alive, if you ever saw it.
>>384456 i should have known because of the french flag. it's good to see you. yes, this is smokey. i was considering making a bunker thread for us, but i'm not sure which site to use. there's poner here, which seems mostly mlp types, then mlp on 8chan.moe, and there's also a trash on 8chan. any thoughts?
i was thinking about it, and it's possible ponies may have indirectly killed 4chan. because when i showed up there, it was a wild west in terms of moderation. People screamed and screamed to "bring back snacks!" as in, return the style of heavy handed modding he'd dished out. then, ponies arrived. people started harassing moot until the point he not only created more mods, but also the janitor position. the hated jannies that would ruin every board, and invite the group that eventually claimed the site's destruction. he also created mlp as an excuse to ban ponies everywhere else. moot only cared about 4chan for the popularity it brought him, so when people at cons started yelling at him about ponies, well. there was going to be some action. but that's why my group never got along with the mlp board, because it was literally made to spite us.
>>384463 i like this place too, and ninjaz did kind of invite us right before shtf at 4chan. i think poner is fine. i don't have any ill will towards the actual people of mlp. in fact one of my friends had been making inroads to unite us before everything died. i'll see what i can do.
>>384466 That's nice you're creating new connections. Sure, as you like. I'll stay around anyway and I will let Duchess know if you're doing something. Take care.
