Keep in mind I'm one anon with a fallible memory, so forgive me if I give a representation that's only partial because its literally impossible, 8chan was like its own country, no man can really understand what was truly going on with it completely. I'll probably stick mostly with /v/, GG, /pol/, and the activity as it pertained to several boards and the general popularity of it at the start, as well as any history surrounding some notable figures. >the beginnings 8chan was technically made in around 2013, but nobody besides a few random retards or autists gave a shit. It was made by a wizardchan fag named Hotwheels (Frederick Brennan, aka the cripple, later becoming the cripplecuck, who >we all thought was based at the start), but nobody gave a shit at this point about this site >the REAL beginnings in August 2014 and onwards, Gamergate was starting up. This shit became massive, not because some slut apparently fucked journos like nobody's business (though that was pretty bad when the scope was revealed), but because of how much censorship happened across all sites. Anons thought 4chan was impregnable from this shit, but it turned out not to be so as the topic of Gamergate was totally censored from /v/, only allowed to be discussed on /pol/. Through some digging, it was revealed Moot was an actual literal cuck who sold the site out, hired SJW mods, and was basically a thirsty traitor, and people needed a site they knew was free from this bullshit. 8chan was found where people could make their own boards and control their own shit, and choose their own freedom (part of the reason it was called infinitechan) and a large months-long migration of anons, called the first exodus began with people shilling the board on cuckchan for months on end. What a lot of people nowadays might not be aware of was just how huge this, and later the second exodus, were. 8chan went from a literal wasteland, to having a /v/ board which made 5 million posts in under a year and this was despite the imageboard being under consistant DDoS attacks, going down frequently and having major problems like CP and doxxing/harrassment false flag attacks, journo smear campaigns, all manner of bullshit basically. There were numerous boards on 8chan that were actually alive and thriving. Most of the quality anons from cuckchan had either left or were crossposting (and people likely noticed a drastic decrease in posting quality), and 8chan became the second biggest imageboard on the internet. It was still small compared to halfchan, but it was no slouch As the board was growing, anons realized the need to create their own culture. It was in the midst of GG that Vivian James was created, as basically a response to feminists bitching about female characters in games, and Vivian James (Vidya Games, with her /v/-inspired shit of being a NEET with a green and purple hoodie, a ginger which is a minority for whites, and so on) was an anti-thesis to that. it was also a time when board tans were getting more and more popular, each large board eventually created or used their own -tans, and had their own artists and places, often but not always overlapping, and created OC that contributed to the "culture" of 8chan. Red anon was also created by a Jap-anon's idea, and people started taking pride in using 8chan, partially because a lot of people (not everyone though ofc but enough) left out of principles though. A large portion of /pol/ left with GG, /v/ and other anons, and /v/ and /pol/ were basically aligned for the GG issue more or less, both of which were the first and second biggest boards on the site, but the site was truly free, even shit like /leftypol/ commies and furfags and all manner of degenerates were using the site. For a brief period of time, despite numerous major problems, anons could feasibly call this a paradise compared to 4chan and the way things were going because of how many good things came of it, but damage was building thanks to all the attacks, and people were slowly dropping off over time. >the tough times, and the administration changes, but still there was life People loved the times under Hotwheels generally, despite his occasional faggotry, but he couldn't handle dealing with the site, and there were various things going on at the time, like the attempt to make a better imageboard that could better accommodate the anons that ended up being a scam with Josh Moon (kiwifarms owner) taking 15K from anons and doing nothing on it and fucking off. The site was being routinely fucked, and despite things like domain changes and whatnot, Hotwheels couldn't handle the pressure, and eventually sold the site to Jim Watkins, someone who glowed like a nigger in the dark, but anons were reluctant to leave on mere suspicion alone after all that was established and all the difficulties and problems endured, and Watkins made some... questionable changes that went somewhat unnoticed by a lot of anons at the start, but were slowly chipping away at the site. he purged certain BOs for no good reason, and pretty much fucked certain boards completely like /sp/, but the site was functional and could handle attacks so people weren't really aware when the larger "problems" seemed fixed, at least from what I gathered, but then the Trump elections happened and things got more and more complicated. The site was routinely getting raided, especially /pol/, by obvious shills during the election campaign, which led to some... poor moderation decisions and some necessary survival tactics, on top of the new BO being a turkroach maddowposting avatarfag freak who banned people, and even later banned a global (Ron Watkins, Jim's son) who posted a warning on their board. I believe /pol/'s board ownership was switched out during Hotwheels time by some fag he liked, which slowly caused damage to the board that eventually got pretty fucking critical. Eventually /pol/ was more or less killed off, and shit got fucked. Anyways, despite a slow bleeding of users, the site was at least "okay" during this period of time, unless you were a fag who liked to use the boards that got fucked over, in which case, unfortunately, yeah, you were fucked, and Jim deserves to burn for what he did. >site death and zombification The site was mostly going on as usual, minus some major events here and there, such as /hwndu/ being a massive board for the time that they fucked over Shia Lebouf, Neogaf dying and us having a massive celebration thread and a good time, etc Life was generally good, but there were serious problems that were going on under the surface that were killing the imageboard, unbeknownst to a lot of anons, but despite these issues, the majority of anons were still there, using the 2 major boards, /v/ and /pol/. Eventually, things come to a head, with... I can't remember at this point, I think it was the El Paso Shooting, but it could also have been the Christchurch shooting, where Jim shuts down the site for an entire year, and anons have to survive out in bunkers. this is what killed the site most of all, in that period of time, we lost anywhere from 70-90% of the users during that time while >we were on the bunkers because the site was literally completely gone for many months. It eventually came back as 8kunt, which the remaining anons tried to work, but it was just unworkable as a site >(small scale) revival This is the period of time since 2020 and now, with the remaining userbase split, somewhat overlapping, across the webring, with site drama and bullshit keeping a lot of us separate, but now things are... relatively stable I suppose, compared to the more chaotic times of the past 3 years. Hotwheels turned into a leftist furry fag, Jim This is a very broad summary, its not nearly enough to cover most events on 8chan I'm aware, so ask questions and I'll do my best to answer what I can. Already hitting the text limit on this post so I'll sto

This is very interesting history to learn. <from recent cuckchan post I found I was laughing my ass off seeing this screencap on /pol/ yesterday, but I got reminded by the post, so the first question is: Was it the feds/glowies who made Moot sold the site and manipulated him to do all those shit? Or he did it out of his own conscious?

>>7217 I'll try to remember some of the crazier shit that went on >the GG boards and threads were doing a lot of digging and research back in the old days, but the boards had to deal with all sorts of bad actors and faggots, at one point the /gg/ board got taken over by GNAA and wiped completely, so a new one had to be made, and then later another >the Trump election was huge, the second exodus more or less came largely from /pol/ and helped to put 8chan on the map due to this, with how many memes, and literal memetic warfare was being conducted due to the 2016 election, it was no joke, and people were quite literally worshipping a meme chaos deity through GETS >/v/ was chugging along generally well during this time, anons were creating new things all the time like the squilliams for E3 or what have you >meme boards would crop up and become popular, like /ebola/ for the worship of ebola-chan, or /hwndu/ as I said earlier >/leftypol/ would get routinely bullied by everyone for being massive faggots >/bane/ was meme magic + baneposting, fun times >all manner of niche boards could enjoy possible success, but only a few actually did >/pol/ created a daughter, but /pol/ is kinda dead so you won't see much OC of him, or her (Erika) >Deepfreeze girls (Danielle and Freya) were created as mascots for Deepfreeze, which was a GG-related database website for cataloguing journo corruptions and evils >the site's attitudes were generally libertarian (+natsoc in /pol/'s case) at first, though /pol/ became more authoritarian natsoc later >GG helped cause the death of Gawker (media conglomerate who controlled many of these shit sites like cucktaco) by literally taking out millions from them through email campaigns, then they got legdropped by Hulk Hogan which >we all celebrated >all kinds of weird boards somehow had their times and communities on 8chan, many anons probably unaware of their existence >anyone could create their own boards, you had a board dedicated entirely to nep which made their own re-translations of Nep Rebirth 1 and 2, and shit like /rws/ for the running with scissors dev who visited and used 8chan in the day >THQ nordic AMA was a big event for the site, and pretty fucking hilarious >Yoko Taro visited us once, but the site was literally broken at the time so he could only make 1 post, but at least he came >for whatever reason, there was a literal fag board called /cuteboys/, but it was full of gays who vastly preferred nazis over leftists, so that was pretty funny >Assange complimented us in GG at one point in time for digging and going on the right path, so that was cool >generally fun times were had >a /redchanit/ board was created in response to the GG SVU episode, which was so hilariously memetic that I think it genuinely had too many memes in a short period of time, causing it to have a meme explosion and then death >shit like /v/ sings continued for a while Basically a massive portion of the board's history is tied to GG and what was created during the early days. We had some really talented and hardworking anons in those days, things were taken pretty damn seriously, and new anons were expected to assimilate to board culture after the migration period during the exodus was over, people were expected to always archive sites to preserve them and to avoid giving enemies clicks (and anyone who posted a direct link was outed as a faggot/shill/newfag), avoiding believing bullshit on the internet with "trust but verify", and basically just being a storm of productivity, fun and meme creation >>7218 I did not mean "literally" sell the site in that time, he sold the site out in that he betrayed the site to SJWs and anti-GG, the GG betrayal was because Moot was thirsty for pussy and connections, the actual selling of the site was more likely a combination of both. the actual sale of the site and moot fucking off to Google happened later

here's some of the moot caps from ED since my old HDD died, glad they still exist

>>7219 Interesting. What about Mark Mann? I was almost afraid to say who is he, but you said ask questions. This guy looks like something I want to make a comic about him like /v/-tan and Tre/vr/ with /jp/-tan. Part of things I know is the hole like Goatse, and he has a social media account that I couldn't find in anyway. I read some that Mark is the ONLY ONE who did not act any bullshit like "Alex" or whoever that treated 8chan with manipulated reasoning, while Mark treated with mistaken reasoning. I'm Spanish born, but I spoke English all the time, so excuse my ESL. >>7220 Interesting. Is there more?

>>7221 No wait, it's from ED, sorry. I thought you found the survival screencaps of HDD. Is ED reliable source for 8chan history? or it's been fucked up by leftist or outsiders?

>>7221 Mark's the BO of 8/v/, he was just the first to claim it at the time he's got a lot of personal stories that I won't get into in a nutshell, he's a bit of a retard, he's (funnily), a literal autistic jew who has made questionable decisions and at times has had bad or incredibly stupid moderation, but compared to most other attempted BOs and mods of /v/-related boards, he's somehow ended up the least spergy, people tolerate his retardation because he at least is nowhere near as bad as the other shit that's been dealt with, and at least believes in GG genuinely, but he's still a faggot like all hotpockets He's literally autistically screeched on public camera during the /hwndu/ times, he showed up during an HBO interview/documentary on 8kunt for a literal free lunch, he got and streamed a leaked copy of Sonic Mania and became the "12 game overs" man, and back in the day, anons sent him a cake (I think it was for 8chan's birthday), and he ate the whole thing in a single day, possibly a single sitting. Some people are absolutely obsessed with him however, its a really weird thing going on with him, like /cow/ trying to turn him into a lolcow or whatever, posting pics of some fat guy's asshole who looked similar and trying to meme it into him, they spammed the board for months about 2-3 years ago with Mark's a fag, and I really get pissed at him and he needs to stop doing certain things, but I'd much rather have him than most retards out there >>7222 ED is okay, but they used to be a lot less shitty to 8chan, they used to be more "aligned" with us in the older days, and shat on >our enemies a lot more the screencaps and shit are fine though, since this is all old shit that most already knows of, I remember these being the same in the old days so don't worry about their veracity.

>>7223 in the old days of 8chan, anons used to post their permas from cuckchan shit was pretty bad during those times on cuckchan, the site was literally wordfiltered kek

>>7223 >He literally autistically screeched on public camera during the /hwndu/ times, he showed up during an HBO interview/documentary on 8kunt for a literal free lunch, he got and streamed a leaked copy of Sonic Mania and became the "12 game overs" man, and back in the day, anons sent him a cake (I think it was for 8chan's birthday), and he ate the whole thing in a single day, possibly a single sitting. OH MY GOD. I REALLY REALLY WISH I SEE THE VIDEO OR SCREENCAP ARCHIVE ABOUT IT OR HIS SOCIAL MEDIA PLACE WHERE HE POST HIS VIDEOS Sorry if that's inappropriate about it. That literally got my attention. More importantly, considering you seen it all in the past, "what defines OC, and what defines organic when it comes to positive virtues [idk how to explain] like Starfist on cuckchan /v/ and Desu-Girl of Rozen Maiden Suiseiseki, and Waha girl? And what would've helped contribute 8moe and cuckchan about the OC?

>>7217 >I think it was the El Paso Shooting, but it could also have been the Christchurch shooting The El Paso Shooting and subsequent media campaign that prompted Cloudflare to cut 8chan off, at least officially. Though around the same time Cloudflare was filing its IPO and likely took this event as a perfect time to make such a decision (virtue signal marketing). But ultimately the Christchurch shooting was the beginning of the end, as it really placed 8chan on the detractors' radar as a high priority target. You could feel the heat building beyond that point.

>>7225 I don't have them on-hand, but if you ask around anons can post stuff for you >"what defines OC, and what defines organic when it comes to positive virtues [idk how to explain] like Starfist on cuckchan /v/ and Desu-Girl of Rozen Maiden Suiseiseki, and Waha girl? And what would've helped contribute 8moe and cuckchan about the OC? You're getting into very complicated topics here /v/ is rage personified, and I suppose TTGL would be a good representation for /v/, for obvious reasons if you meant something like that. Its basically the /v/ anime, and the OG from the olden days of the first /v/ rage animation, and anons like it a lot. There's a lot of various vidya characters and other memes that are codified into /v/'s identity though ofc. I wish I had the Hulk Hogan x GG Giga Lawsuit Breaker webm on hand. Anything that's memeworthy will have an impact or presence though I suppose. like Jojo in the old days was universal across all boards. /pol/ in the election days was obsessed with Kek, and by extension, Pepe, for his meme potential and whatnot, and hitler is more or less codified into /pol/'s identity, with a dash of Ron Paul. The biggest virtues, at least for GG and by extension much of 8chan, I would say is truth and freedom. During that time it was nothing but lies, censorship and control by so many bad actors. Do what you want and have fun, just don't be a faggot or cancer and respect where you are, keep it clean and good for the future. OC is OC at the end of the day. As long as you love the site and where you are, at least in some small way, that's fine no matter what you do or create. For cuckchan it would have been hard, since they lost so many quality anons during the exodus, their posting quality dropped and they didn't have vanguards, gatekeepers, oldfags, and people who made quality content to keep it up, they largely had newfags, monkeys who tried to imitate the old traditions, and only a smattering of oldfags, and as a result it leads to what you see these days. However due to cuckchan's sheer size, they do at least have some artists and some quality anons sprinkled in here and there, but talents are largely wasted on shit like nu-jaks or whatever. They don't really give a shit about beauty or quality or effort much anymore, and what I think is a new ADHD generation took hold over there so now its mostly shitposting. I think its an inevitable thing if you don't have a population that genuinely cares about those aspects, you would also be fighting against a flood, 4chan grew too fast for its own good, and lost too much in the process. For the oldfags they do have, they're largely surviving off the crumbs of the past and whatever the few drawfags and OC creators make that are actually good, but there's not a lot. There was a lot of pride in being a part of 8chan back in the old days, >we even had >our own anthem and shit.

oh, and I suppose Guts is a pretty good representation of sorts for all the shit we've been through, especially now its complicated in a nutshell

>>7227 >>7228 >The biggest virtues, at least for GG and by extension much of 8chan, I would say is truth and freedoms. It sounds like alternative universe of old /b/ or [s4s] except it's truth instead of lie. Or something like that, but I believe and respect freedom in those situations. Even if it made me uncomfortable like gore threads. Do you know what was the biggest virtues of 4chan before GamerGate? The sources tells me the best tip of making OC is "just have fun.", yet it couldn't be that simple, no? >>7228 I wish I know what Guts is but I don't want to bother you. Is niggerpill = children acting like total faggots on cuckchan like "kys" this and "fuck off" that? or what does it mean?

>>7229 <It sounds like alternative universe of old /b/ or [s4s] except it's truth instead of lie By that, I mean the usual "don't take anything here as a fact." comment on cuckchan.

>>7229 >The sources tells me the best tip of making OC is "just have fun" yet it couldn't be that simple, no? I mean, if you want, you can also add the goal of self-improvement into the mix to always aim to get better. Fun is the most important thing, but you can make works that encourage, inspire, laugh, dream, wax nostalgic, have hope for the future, make something wholly original like a new character, or all of the above Striving and struggling in the face of trials, suffering and adversity is also a strong representation of 8chan since that's basically tied into our history at this point. You can also mock enemies of course, OC is OC at the end of the day and you should just aim to have a good time. Fun is an important aspect to surviving on a board like this, if you're not having fun that's a real problem. >guts he's the Berserk protagonist, aka the man who's been through the most suffering in terms of fictional works that I can think of, struggling against a world who wants him dead he's the 3rd character from the top left in this pic >>7230 oh yeah, you shouldn't believe anons blindly You're free to doubt everything I say here its just that if someone is lying, they should be called out immediately on their bullshit false accusations and claims and all sorts of shit can easily run wild here its basically "proofs or it didn't happen" and "where's the archive, faggot?"

>>7231 >he's the Berserk protagonist, aka the man who's been through the most suffering in terms of fictional works that I can think of, struggling against a world who wants him dead. he's the 3rd character from the top left in this pic Oh, that's the LIIIIIIVE guy? Its hard for me to recognize some of those characters since I don't like watching modern anime about same stories of same-face similar action battles that basically gets cliched in Japan, where we meet a hero, then new characters, and more unnecessary characters with cheesecake female sidekick, etc. Like I understand what Hayao Miyazaki says when he said the beauty of anime is run by perverted otakus who dislike looking at other people's face. I recognized Akira, Dedede, Osomatsus, Yotsuba, Green-anon, yellow-alien teacher I forgot the name, Goku, Reimu, Umaru, Panty/Stocking and more though. As iconic as the blue robot cat is in Japan, I'm surprised Doraemon is not mentioned once there, especially famous in 2ch and the Tanasinn inspirations. So niggerpill is false-accusations?

>>7229 oh and niggerpill is a blackpilled spammer who doomposts and samefag spams about how "everyone should kill themselves, we all lost, its over, look at how our enemies are winning, etc" He also might be luciano (a brazilian) who fedposts the exact opposite of niggerpill, like "all leftists should be killed, kill your enemies, find their houses and whatever" its just a shitter

>>7233 I see. So beside the https://ourobooru.booru.org/ site where all OCs artwork from drawthread shows up, where else can I learn the names and history or stories about OCs like the fat skeleton guy and Gilda Marr? ED wouldn't be right answer for me since time is much different as there's more headcanons made here, and massive sources of Vivian James fan arts that I sadly didn't try to save them all for model studies.

>>7234 Just ask around Gilda Mars was a -tan who was made to represent reddit, though funnily enough they didn't want her so /v/ adopted her, she is retarded and has all the negatives of reddit, but for whatever reason >we still love her, even if she deserves bullying at times. There was a GG hub on reddit at the time, and on various other sites as well. GG was pretty massive and was beyond just 8chan. The fat skeleton guy is the /tg/-tan, I believe they have a board on Smuglo.li, but idk how they are these days

>>7235 I see. I hope they won't scold me just for asking like on cuckchan to "lurk more" and such. Now..this may be incredibly ludicrous question... but what are authentic oldanons like (you) or 8chan stances and thoughts about Friday Night Funkin'? The fandom or "stories?" is so bewildering in the mind of people who love the series and mod, they include themselves in everything, notoriously vs. /v/. There was an old meme comic about 4chan laughing at a book girl, and the book girl gets her revenge by subliminally advertising 4chan, which anon responded "Oh God no..." but it feels like FNF fits that descriptions. There's a /vg/ /funkg/ board which is like microchan /b4k/ [Random for Kids. I made it up.] There's literally a board for /funkg/ now on 8moe. https://8chan.moe/funkg/ I must admit I sometimes lurk there just to find /v/-tan and Cancer Lord fan arts. One side of me says it's good that cultures is finally getting love or such on cuckchan where it only took the /v/ mod to acknowledge board-tans that has been lost in times until now. I love seeing fan arts of classic stuff. But another side of me says it's bad because of faggots from Twitter and Reddit manipulating everything and self-insert gender bullshit for no reasons. I love headcanons and stories, but, for Twitter, it's really ridiculous and has no sense of love, only attention desires. To me, morally, it's very concerning. But to me, experimenting, it's literally interesting. /funkg/ is one of the most alien type of communities. Which gives me a question on what was cuckchan's stance on Newsgronds and what is 8chan's stance on Newsgrounds as well, especially the 2 OCs from NG appearing in the Flash archive on 4chan? When oldanons hear NewsGrounds, I can tell the first thing pops out of the head is Zone-Tan.

>>7237 Forgive me if that comment pisses (you) or any anon off. There's like 85% chances lurkers from /funkg/ will see this and post it on /vg/ saying "mods for this feel?" such.

>>7237 >I hope they won't scold me just for asking like on cuckchan to "lurk more" and such. You'll have to get a thicker skin if you wanna post here, bullying is standard procedure but its only because anons care about this place >what are 8chan stances and thoughts about friday night funkin' I'm afraid I can't really give you an answer. /v/ isn't a hivemind, I don't really care for it myself besides like a single mod song or the memes, but I don't represent anyone besides myself either. There are anons who like it, I dunno how some feel about the game or the board, but people use the board so clearly at least some anons like it. I know most anons definitely don't mind the MILF lewds though :^) Dunno anything about the fandom myself, its not something I looked into, you could just make an FNF thread on /v/, there used to be one but it probably fell off the catalog. >twitter yeah twitter's full of faggotry and attention-whoring, its also where most artists hang out, there used to be a big meme and shitposting war on twitter and a lot of anons were there, but they all got banned years ago. Dunno much about the community, you'll just have to find out from them directly or something, but even then, you shouldn't assume anything is necessarily representative >newgrounds see above, NG is fine with me I guess I'm not some super oldfag by the way, I've been around since the start of 8chan, and before that point, but not that much further. There's plenty of anons older than I. >One side of me says it's good that cultures is finally getting love or such on cuckchan where it only took the /v/ mod to acknowledge board-tans that has been lost in times until now. Never heard of this part, huh. Weird.

>>7239 That's sadly true about thicker skin. There's this saying that mention that without gatekeeping, they'll be encouraged to bring more and more normalfags until it becomes their community, and no longer >ours, so I understand about that. One hand concerns that anons won't know the mental issues or health problems like usuals in /r9k/ and need "comfort zone", but other hand say without sugar coating, they should feel like they get the truth instead of "This guy is being too kind to me..but there should be more" stuff. The only thing negative thing I got for funkg is one fucking dumbass uploaded the mod to GameBanana which fucked cuckchan up even worse, that they have to post infamous Cinema Comic to get them to fuck off. This is not /biz/ I get it, but it kind of saddens me that my options to find a way to make money through commissions is vastly limited because of censorship fuckers and such. If you must know since money is the big problem in creativity, I want to buy musical instruments, a type of "tutor" or whatever they're called, and a way to support my personal friends and family. Yea, I founded 4chan same year as yours around the ESRB leak, there used to have more Bait Fishes than before. And before that, I loved reading rage comics. When I learn those memes originated at 4chan before it turned to cuckchan, I want to supported OCs in anyway I could before I found this place. There was no attempt to make group-collaborative ideas right until the FNF vs. /v/ appeared, which led to the creation of Wes and Jay, the /vrpg/-tans

My question is about how look like they board. What they fuck we are celebrating?

>>7241 Dammit, the board, no they board

>>7241 I don't understand what you're talking about, but I'm assuming you mean what do the vrpg tans look like? Pic related. If it's about OP pic, they're celebrating birthdays of 8moe. Like cuckchan's birthday is October 1st, so it's fun for them to make birthday celebrations like Squilliam. 8moe and 4chan's culture feels very similar as there's similar events here. And I do not mean any insult, but judging by your speech, are you from /funkg/ by any chance?

>>7243 Is about the colour of the board, mate, that green and palid scheme ando the party hat.

>>7244 Oh, today is 8chan's birthday! I didn't see until refresh. It's very coincidence to me about history of 8chan before the birthday.

>>7243 >are you from /funkg/ by any chance? What

>>7243 Sorry, I read the first and justo write my doubt >/Funkg/ Error mate, I'm a spic refugee

>>7246 Let's just say /funkg/ has attract so much newfag's attention and get easily fixated and attach to anything they see "cool" on it like 3AB's comic. Someone might make Vivian James mod about it and attract many tourist to here. It would be Mark's nightmare to do more work.

>>7247 Ah, cool. Welcome.

>>7245 Thanks >>7248 Is kinda pol tier or something like that? >>7249 Thanks again

>>7250 /b/ tier; they often include any OCs and FCs into whatever they feel like, even self inserts. There's even a picture of Pico [Pico School NewsGround] having sex with Luigi [Super Mario].

>>7251 > There's even a picture of Pico [Pico School NewsGround] having sex with Luigi [Super Mario Ok, gay shit. Thats all? Fankids about things what mix ramdom shit self insert and fuck with that, looks like every Internet community if You ask me.

>>7252 Ironically, it's the tip of the ice berg. Fankids browse 4chan religiously to even take any "oldfags" seriously about what's posted there and what shouldn't posted there, even if it's a LARPer. They literally planned to make a mod about Sad Satan and many anons over there went full autism, that one anon decide to make the mod reality just because "it's 4chan, we do not forgive we do not forget expect us." Its so unpredictable, there's even an Infinigger playthrough remade for Scratch https://scratch.mit.edu/search/projects?q=infimario The Sad Satan one is on worser level, but I don't know how much worse it can go as there'll be a CP mod at this rate... On lighter note, I like other pic related I couldn't find the iceburg meme about /funkg/ with "/v/-tan x Kapi". With all said and done, I am wondering how 8chan will deal with those /funkg/ newfags when "Third Exodus" comes.

>>7253 <On lighter note, I like other pic related I couldn't find the iceburg meme about /funkg/ with "/v/-tan x Kapi". I meant to say I like the fan arts like this. I don't like iceburg meme, grammar errors. Even if chances are they look cringe, at least it's an OC made for 4chan. Sadly, it's cuckchan atm.. The spoiler one is cringe. The rest looks cool to me.

<This is the period of time since 2020 and now, with the remaining userbase split, somewhat overlapping, across the webring, with site drama and bullshit keeping a lot of us separate, but now things are... relatively stable I suppose, compared to the more chaotic times of the past 3 years. Hotwheels turned into a leftist furry fag, Jim Wait, is there continuation of this? I just realize it.

>>7238 Also, I called it. I literally called that lmfao.

>>7253 Well, it's worse than I thought, but i don't think they fuck with the /hispanic/ side of 8chan, good luck with /funkg/ mate.

Where ever did the ol' 8archive database go? Someone needs to hunt that shit down cause theres no fucking way all of it got deleted.

>>7368 no, it literally did, it was catastrophic that's one of the reasons >we archive threads through archive.is

I like to think I contributed a bit to /v/'s history

here are some screenshots from the last /pol/ mod revolt after they got blown out by jim and his gook son

>>7217 >Josh Moon (kiwifarms owner) taking 15K from anons and doing nothing on it and fucking off. Moon did create (eventually) infinitynext,problem was (as far as I know) he didn't know jackshit about coding then/was self-taught. Problem is 8ch shut down a year or two just before it was finished,and at the same time when wheelcuck became a loud and obnoxious furfag. 16chan was created with InfinityNext,went down because Null gave the perms to some guy and then he fucked off. 9chan went down because literally noone used it and same guy who also works on endchan(Odilitime I think) had to do both things as the same time. TL;DR If El Passo didn't happen I'd argue we would have both Infinity Next and the original 8ch. <At least no Jim Watkins/Cripplekike

>>7394 Kek

Someone has the video of Jim watkins going to Mark house in a poorly draw style?

>>7509 https://youtu.be/SKlXtJPxdmg

>>7394 I liked Bruce-posting. Do you have the full thing? The only thing I really have is this GET and an archive of old OC that someone graciously gave me a couple years ago. If anyone has a suggestion for their preferred file-sharing site, let me know. >>7399 Seems like incompetence and bad timing are what really sealed the deal, though the shootings were definitely a deathblow to the site. Decentralization also doesn't appear to be working. Still, we have here, and I'm very grateful for that.

>>7941 forgot the get don't even remember if this was on the bunker or not

>>7399 > If El Passo didn't happen I'd argue we would have both Infinity Next and the original 8ch. I think this ignores some basic realities. Infinity Next is still not usable. Josh is reasonably talented at making shiny frontends, but he has demonstrated a real lack of backend experience. The entire point of Infinity Next was to avoid the bottlenecks that Vichan suffered from, but his solution was to avoid any form of cache. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of the issue and of IO-bound data processing. It's like getting mad you keep getting a flat tire, so you try to design a car with no wheels. We might still have the original site if not for shootings and manifestos, but we'd be under the thumb of an increasingly deranged Jim who cares little for imageboard culture. His focus has basically always been on the politics. He's way happier with the Qfags who are now paying money to use a site to conspiracypost. As bad as things are, they could have been worse. Imagine if Hotwheels hadn't been removed from Patreon and had run the site for the next 5 years. What happens if he stills decides to become a Communist that thinks 8chan promotes shootings? He just nukes the site with no notice and tells everyone to go home?

>>7217 Wow, that was great, but you didn't tell me about the missing boards of 8kun, and how the site removed most of its images and replaced them with a static one! Continue!

>>7958 >missing boards of 8kun ?? Do you mean the missing boards of 8chan Prime? Prior to the launching of 8kun, Jim had for weeks, asked BOs who wanted their boards backed up to shoot him an email and he would back up the board on the new site. All the boards that are gone are from those whose BOs never asked Jim to back their boards up either because they moved to a bunker, wanted nothing to do with the new castrated 8kun or simply because the board was abandoned for a really long time and there was no one to take up the mantle. >site removed most of the images and replaced them with static ones Jim is a retard and while he backed up the threads from the boards that did request to be migrated over, he didn't do so for any of the files, hence the 404 or die files in place of these lost files. Also, 8kun is a broken heap of shit that goes down every other week so more files keep getting lost whenever the site goes back up only for it to inevitably go back down again because Jim doesnt need to care about improving the site when all it's original users have abandoned it and Qniggers have no where left to go to circlejerk over their imaginary superfed but Jim's grift site where he fleeces them of their money kek.

>>7960 Wow. And I thought the "join or 404" crap was because of the loli/shota ban...

>>7960 Well, this is interesting. Speaking of this "broken heap of shit," how's it doing right now compared to 8chan.moe? I don't want to burn my eyes looking at that cursed placeholder image again...

>>7960 Just how much of a retard is this Jim Watkins right now?

>>7960 >BOs who wanted their boards backed up to shoot him an email and he would back up the board on the new site That's bullshit, I shoot him an email but he didn't back up my board, which sucks. >>7977 The only active board is /qresearch/, not even their /pol/ equivalent has a substantial amount of users, and even though that board has something like 4000 users they post repetitive nonsensical shit, not even chatgpt delivers that kind of messages so I'm pretty sure most or them actually are straight up bots.

>>8176 What kind of "nonsensical shit" are they posting? The new "Guidance" link mystifies me... I wonder if even Jim Watkins mentioned 8kun is currently dead...

>>8179 Go ahead and check their /qresearch/ by yourself if you are so interested. Most of their messages look like random text generated by a bot, and there isn't a single reminiscence of discussion, which for a over a 1000 users board is totally bullshit. It's obvious Jim filled that board with bots posting the same shit over and over again because he didn't want to admit his boomer circlejerk died long ago. Heck, even their /pnd/ board no longer has activity, if /qresearch/ had organic activity that wouldn't be the case.

>>8185 When I went to /qresearch/, all I found was stuff that looked like something a HUMAN or CHIMPANZEE on a typewriter would type, not "guidfyyvrngiifdsumcugfdcoigdmcocos" or something like that. (...Except for something about Trump...) Also why didn't Wikipedia mention >>7960?

>>8179 When I said the new "Guidance" link mystified me, I meant did the link probably mention what you say at >>7960 or not?

/trapshota/ will forever be remembered for this.

>>8265 Also, why and how did the Hispachan boards suddenly pop up here?

>>8310 Long story short, their site died and since a lot of people already had bunkers over here they decided to migrate.

>>8331 How can your site die when you're still using it?

>>8419 What are you talking about?

>>8421 I meant, "How could Hispachan's old site possibly die when they were still using it?"

>>8422 Well their admin was a faggot who shut the site down because he didn't feel like running it anymore.

>>8422 Well, /hisrol/ moved here when they were kicked out, that's why they were here before Hispachan was put to sleep. That's one of the main reasons why everybody picked this place as bunker.

I’m a bit curious on what’s going on, and what is *zzzchan* I’d ask about the history but I don’t want to make a bad impression. And what do they enjoy so much, like 8moe enjoys freedom and truth so much

>>8524 They're former members of this /v/ who hate the BO of so they splintered to their own website. At this stage, it's impossible to tell if the shitflingers are actual users of either board or just troublemakers. For all the talk of rivalry the two boards (and their sites) have more in common than with anywhere else. Culturally they and all of their boards are /v/-centric since the users are all predominantly /v/ users. Both sites are hated by the remnants of /cow/, alongside any other boards that traditionally have a problem with /v/ users. Someone in this /v/'s meta was saying there's some kind of drama with a moderator over there. It's unclear if that's just bait to start a board wars argument or if there's actually something happening. In either case most users think the board wars thing is dumb and find the people engaging in it obnoxious.

>>8422 It started when hispachan retarded admin deleted a few boards there.

>>7960 >>8532 I have no idea who was the most retarded by now.

>>8533 It's a hard competition. I'd say Jim is less of a fag compared to Loan because he has the mindset of a capitalist pig; his plans don't make sense but AT LEAST you can tell he tries to profit from qboomer cattle. Loan, on the other hand is a hormonal tranny who ditched his whole userbase out of pure autistic meltdown and nowadays only his Discord circlejerk, which is composed by, like, four exmods and a teenager zoomer who very likely he groomed; still follows him

So what was the argument in >>5243 at 1/22/24 about?

>>8926 Whoops! I meant the General Purpose 8chan Sitewide Meta Thread!

>>8927 tl;dr fag was outed out of smuglo for being a fag and he came here crying acting he's the victim

>>8935 "F. A. G.?" I don't know who "F. A. G." is, but I looked up smuglo. It's a loli board seems pretty nice...

>>8949 By fag I mean the /news/ owner. Smuglo is a retards circlejerk, by the way; you'll quickly realise only rulecucked seasonal anime obsessed manchildren post there.

Is the shota board/shotakot dead? I hope not... Also how did this tor fileposting pause thing happen/could this be the reason /sm/ is dying?

>>9003 >claim to provide a platform for the marginalized >betray the most marginalized community that would benefit most from your platform and tell them they have no place here >all your boards involving that community wither away and die

>>9006 I have no idea which question you're answering to.

>>9007 ...or whatever any of >>9006 means.

>>9008 ...or where the heck the board owner went to. Do you have his contact information at least? Or /delicious/?

>>9009 ...or what that image you posted is called.

>>9003 He's fine and still an asshole. And finally get fuckt pedos.

>>9042 >I covered myself in shit and now no one will come near me get fucked yeah you're a real winner alright.

>>9043 So you don't want his AIM name then?

That look like 10, not 11

>>9728 They were doing that because they were late.

>>7219 <the Trump election was huge, the second exodus more or less came largely from /pol/ and helped to put 8chan on the map due to this, with how many memes, and literal memetic warfare was being conducted due to the 2016 election, it was no joke, and people were quite literally worshipping a meme chaos deity through GETS Considering what happened yesterday (the 5th of November), is there going to be a Third Exodus now?… is that a bad thing or a good thing?

>>9730 >>9728 I literally forgot I modded that in the previous year until the CSS had been up for a solid day. Oops.

>>7254 They're still making fan arts today.
