>>53449 >read only It will be read only for months I bet, or it will be hacked again.

>>54371 >>55021 swfchan works on my machine, but HTTP only, HTTPS seems broken.

>>55237 Funnily enough I don't doubt there's Indians out there that would gladly accept payment to be a fall guy in the off chance you get doxxed. Just use their name on everything so that in case someone doxxes you, everything points to some untouchable Indian on the other side of the planet.

>>55226 >>55268 Kek, that would be elite level opsec. After all, what could 4chan's worst enemy do to someone in Mumbai?

>>55268 I will be sure to use the cringiest tiktok indian I can find. They'll be in for a surprise when they "doxx" me.

>>54315 i like there been no captcha timer and no cloudflare tbh

For 3~ months preceeding the hack I've been unable to post to 4chan from my town (yes, large swaths of the town is permabanned). Just woke up one day, tried to post in the /int/ general for my country and whablam (paraphrasing): >This IP-range is blocked due to abuse. It's extra weird because the leaked source code suggests my country is part of the "whitelisted" countries, and the IP-range is for companies/residential buildings, a lot of static/not served by any VPN (to my knowledge), and delivered by the most reputable ISP of that country. At first I assumed someone in my town had spammed some board until a mod just took the entire range off, but surely such a measure would've been lifted by now... no? Am I forever condemned to use paid/my own proxies to post on 4chan just because (presumably) a singular faggot was naughty and then a mod deemed a town acceptable collateral? <coincidentally this was right before the 4chan pass increased in price

>>55130 It's honestly incredible how few people understand IRC. I made some jokes in there during the March outage about how the site was down because it was transferring to Elon's servers- go on when it comes back up and I see a couple spergs posting about what I said.

>>55313 >Am I forever condemned to use paid/my own proxies to post on 4chan just because (presumably) a singular faggot was naughty and then a mod deemed a town acceptable collateral? You could beg on IRC to be released

The spirit and cultural dominance 4cuck once possessed will never come back. Not here, not there, not anywhere. It's unfortunate, but the zeitgeist behind imageboards has been irreparably destroyed by the mentally retarded among us, deliberate and continuing glownigger well-poisoning, and a carefully cultivated attitude towards bootlicking mods to "fix" problems (protip ALL problems stem from moderation.) How dreadful. All you have to do to fix any imageboard is establish clear and very super seriously important rules like for real guys don't break them, and then enforce them with an iron fist (read: not at all*). That's it. After a few years of nonstop shitposting wars of annihilation between various factions of the userbase, things will have reached equilibrium and a new culture will have established itself from this grueling and funfun process. *With exceptions for things that will get you, the userbase, and the site itself vanned if allowed

>>55355 >The spirit and cultural dominance 4cuck once possessed will never come back. Fine by me tbdesuwa. I want a place to talk about anime and vidya, I don't care about being a cultural center

>>54811 >based on my time here, a lot of modern 4chan users WANT this endless pile of garbage, they don't care about having a discussion, they just want 4chan to be a super fast chatroom that they use as an anonymous Discord replacement. Seeing this on /a/ is the reason why it's the one board I've never gone back to since the real 8chan died. It was bad enough before luggage lad quit when IRC shit up the threads for every big seasonal show, I'm definitely not going back for the anonymous MAL experience the newfags here want.

>>54068 All that $$$effort$$$ to turn you into a statistic, a number with no relevance, to delete your personality and make you into a helpless bystander unable to even defend what you care for. Almost fifteen years on 4cuck and looking back I was always punished for being myself, having my own thoughts, daring to express my own opinions and them being longer than a ragebait Twitter post. Funny anime reaction images mass replying to posts longer than a paragraph and against the hivemind were already in motion back in the late 2000s. 4mossad promoved mob behaviour, idiocy and cuckoldry (le epic Rance, Mexico trips, day bastard retardation, yadda yadda) before the normalfags, the indians, the jews and the bots fully destroyed all of the internet. Good fucking riddance, hope the glowies managed to get some real work that wasn't making people miserable, dumber, and racial baiting for once

>>55337 >You could beg on IRC to be released Never spoken to them there, do you happen to have any experience on how to word such a request that would actually make them consider it? (*I refuse to attach butthole)

>>55421 >do you happen to have any experience on how to word such a request that would actually make them consider it? I've never begged for a non-rangeban but I did once beg them to turn a permaban into a 1 month. Just be normal. Explain that you've been caught in a rangeban and ask them how you can get out of it. Mods are overall pretty reasonable so long as your message isn't "FUCK YOU TRANNIES STOP DOING THIS TO ME I HATE YOU KILL YOURSELVES"

>>55482 >but I did once beg them to turn a permaban into a 1 month Reminds me of a time I got a permaban ban for being a repeat offender shitposter with a custom ban note about how my IP's been banned over a hundred times and they were sick of this shit, and since I had a static IP at the time I couldn't easily ban evade (without spending money) so I doodled a pony in ms paint (no, not bronyshit. I was a stick figure horse with a rainbow in the background) and linked to it in my ban appeal. Mods shortened my ban to a week.

>>55498 Very based all around. Mine was because someone was spamming loli porn in a thread on /a/ and I said something like "Loli spam is boring, post pizza like a real man". Permaban for "violating US law", which I think is bullshit. When I asked to be unbanned I just said it was obviously a joke and they shortened it to a month. Still bullshit, but whatever I remember reading somewhere that mods don't hand out permas anymore, but idk how true that is

>>55512 >mods don't hand out permas anymore Permas are functionally useless and only encourage ban evasion. Their primary purpose is more for stamping out VPN usage.

>>55379 Misinterpreting what I said and putting the cart before the horse. You become a cultural powerhouse by doing the things you do best, in this case discussion. 4chan got to where it was because once upon a time it was the best place on the internet to talk shop despite some massive faults. All the bells and whistles of cultural dominance come way later. >>55385 >the real 8chan died What did Jimbo call it after the gov slipped their dick in? 8kun or something? Is that piece of shit still alive or did the purposeful fracturing of the community ultimately succeed in killing it and any hope of a viable 4chan alternative? It all feels like forever ago.

>>55837 8kunt is still alive, or was. /pol/ there is back down below /qresearch/ and none of the other boards took off. Most people are here, a couple are on niche alts.

>>39584 >a twitter screenshot fitting end

>>54824 I just wish I we could have a made in abyss thread without it being 90% loli/shota porn dumps. Its not even nsfw reaction images related to the post, its just porn. That makes it unironically better to discuss the show on a heavely moderated site.

>>55837 it could be viable but must get massive exposure. if elon musk started elon-chan, it would get more popular than 4chan. twitter is not that different that an image board except it is centered around users instead of boards.

>>54824 >idea to segregate SFW and NSFW on imageboards This kills discussion and the lowest common denominator (porn dumps) become the majority of each thread. Why would you want this? Do YOU want to be spammed with unsolicited content of a fetish (blacked loli scat, for example) you despise? Use your brain.

>>57128 You can still have rules about what kind of NSFW content you allow on a board so segregate the fetish content. You can also have a rule that prohibits pure porn dumping. Having no SFW-only boards used to be the norm and it was fine.

>>53119 People don't want meaningless pornography As of such, they want to have character discussions in their porn dumps, and they can't currently do that on /e/ If manga discussion was allowed on /e/ then it would become the more popular board

>>57372 >they want to have character discussions in their porn dumps What the fuck, no thanks. Don't include me among those people.

>>57512 Ok, I will mentally disclude you next time I think of it

>>39957 I remember during new years this happened

>>57017 >if elon musk started elon-chan, it would get more popular than 4chan Yes and it would suck considering the userbase it would draw

And it's over already. Thank you for your service, 8chan. I'll try to keep coming back every so often.

>>37531 She's back

>open 4chongz by residual instinct <it's actually back Well shit, what now? How long has it been back anyway? I know that place always glowed, but there is a different, unknown glow to it now so I'm really not sure about checking in these first few days.

>>57017 didnt elon musk say he wanted to buy 4chan a few months ago? i would raff

>>57372 >have character discussions in their porn dumps, and they can't currently do that on /e/ Petition /e/'s BO to change it then. >>58564 >back >no improvement whatsoever They should have waited longer and actually done some work on the site in the meantime.

>>59704 They're content to say nothing and spam meta bans like normal, can't wait for the next hack.
