>>12640 The second it's back I'm gone.

>>12643 And you’ll be back after it gets hacked 1 day later

>>12643 Same

I don't know. I like this place but I don't want to post in a graveyard. I'll stay unless everyone else leaves I guess.

>>12640 I was never really here.

Leaving instantly, /v/ here is too moderated with IDs and /vb/ allows gooner spam. Arguing with indian shills in steamchart threads is essential chan culture.

Is it too much to ask to have both?

>>12640 I don't want to go back to Janny...

>>12659 Oh I forgot about those stupid sales threads. I probably won't go back.

I'm probably waiting a few days to see how much worse it becomes, then I should be going back.

I only really hung around there to scour for any interesting games new and old, and for some specific threads about recent releases with an occasional hit of nostalgia. If this board can at least provide the latter, I might as well stay here. The degree of aggressive autism on 4chan has been steadily increasing over years and I won't miss it for a second.

everyone who is like "4chan has been dead for 25 years" or "I won't miss /v/ and nothing of value will be lost" will immediately come crawling back to it the moment it reopens

>>12720 Anyone that doesn't miss 4chan doesn't have a heart. Anyone that wants it back doesn't have a brain.

>>12722 I'd rather have a heart than a brain it has done nothing but cause misery in my life

>>12640 Ima do pic related. I like it here, but I miss my generals.

their content policy is really commendable in the last days, posting even SFW would get you b& by the vengeful jannies for being "Off-Topic", but we all know it's ABIB or something with the standard "idiot pedophile" reason being hidden there's really only a single dead vidya general I miss, and I dunno where those amicable guys went

>>12724 I like it here too but wish the normal /v/ board didn't have so many generals taking up the first few pages. Still it's comfy overall.

>>12640 Of courshe, just to see how quickly it gets hacked again if they really think closing one exploit will somehow fix their problems. They need a complete revamp of the code base and port it trough at least two iterations while fixing everything that breaks while doing it. One week or two are not enough for that.

>>12640 Honestly I'm going back. /tg/ here is unbearably slow

>>12640 Honestly for me the dream-case scenario would be this place reaching slightly upped /vr/-tier activity and it persisting after 4chinz "returns". Admin staff didn't change so things are 100% going to become way worse, infact they might really try to turn 4chan into reddit this time, <racism outside /b/ might not be a meme rule any longer.

none of the jannies will ever change or get a fucking hint that their site is beyond ruined so honestly if i go back its only going to be to go out of my way to piss them off

>>12640 If no KurobaEx or equivalent is made for 8chan I'm going back. Phoneposting using the browser is completely soulless, even on 4chan with 4chanXT on Firefox it sucked ass compared to a dedicated app

>>12790 You sound weak

>>12790 >Phoneposting There's your problem.

Honestly I kinda like it here, discussion seems a lot more genuine without all the noise and constant low IQ posts trying to divide and conquer, but people will go where there are other people. It's clear now that there is a big divide between 4chins moderation team and the userbase, they don't see anything wrong with how the site has been led since gookmoot took over. As it looks nothing will change in their mindset.

>>12659 The bits have buck broken you, son. Having a blue and red /v/ is godsent. You probably just want to vent on non-existent people. >>12733 Idk why the dumbfucks don't use vg as intended. >>12774 Then start posting what you want. >>12790 Chance is getting updated any day now.

>>12806 I have a job

I don't like this as much, but Hiro's staff have shown to not be trustworthy to secure data. That the hacker didn't have the full post history of every cuckpass holder (let alone release it) is pure luck. Many, many people would have been turbofucked if that occurred Honestly even if it comes back I think I'll just post occasionally on minor chans that allow me to use a VPN and no captcha, and then only post stuff that I could stand behind publicly if it came out

>>12659 >t.pajeet

>>12813 >That the hacker didn't have the full post history of every cuckpass holder I think he essentially did have access to passes but decided not to leak it for some unknown reason.

>>12823 or, you know, 4chan doesn't actually keep an archive of every single post or thread

>>12811 >I have a job Then maybe you shouldn't be shitposting until you get home.

>>12823 Didn't he say that pass holders emails were hashed but mod emails weren't?

>>12643 fippy

>>12823 That cap where he clarifies what he's leaking mentions that cuckpass emails were hashed and that "I do not have that information" re: post history If the emails were hashed and there was no PII from the payment info then it wouldn't really matter too much if he leaked posting history as it couldn't be linked to an irl identity But I'd rather not be there for the next edition of this where someone figures out how to get unhashed emails or payment details or whatever

>>12643 >>12655 >>12845 Good morning, saars!

>>12826 This Though again, the fact that Moot and/or Hiro were too lazy to implement such a thing is pure luck It's very easy to imagine an alternative scenario where they decided to store post history with cuckpass, IP etc info for some future project The lesson here being >don't pay for a cuckpass unless it's like Monero >don't shitpost without VPN/tor These two things will give you plausible deniability whenever (not if ever) this occurs

>>12640 I'll be going back, all my favorite generals don't seem to be here. I'll probably stick here for a while but I got a feeling if 4chan comes back this place will slow back to a crawl. And I got a feeling that is probably wanted.

>>12640 I have two Generals that i would visit from time to time, but besides that? No I really hate all the bot and pajeet noise, having to mentally filter that and the retards that only talk in memes (which might be bots too) is headache infusing, i sure as shit won't miss that Also, the mod and janny team were literally working overtime making everything worse, that's not going to change

>>12955 It's only a matter of time before India finds out about this place. I know 8chan.moe blocked Isreal (kek) but I don't think they've blocked India.

>>12640 Yeah because besides the gacha board everything else is dead.

>>12915 >>12826 But archive sites exists. So wouldn't that means that 4chan keeps archives of all the threads and posts? Can't a hacker easily get in and find the IPs of a poster in the thread or all boards? I don't know how this shit works.

The absolute stockholm syndrome of 4trannies ITT The things a terminally online nigger is ready to bear and justify fro a crumb of pajeet (You)'s and enraging a gay janny for 5 minutes, unreal

>>12966 iirc it takes roughly 2 weeks to beat the first withdraw signs of addictions. Give em one more week.

>>12970 Nah, they're completely mentally ill, they replaced any kind of hobby with baiting pajeets and commiefornian jannoids for 12 hours straight. It's terminal.

If 8chan doesn't straight up die after 4chan reopens, then I'll lurk both 'chans, plus a couple other alts.

>>12640 All I want is to a 4chan X like experience. This site is missing all of the QoL stuff I enjoy like thread watching and posting images using url links.

I'll probably go back for a couple of the smaller boards there that seem to not have survived the exodus or perhaps ended up drifting somewhere else

>>12996 Maybe if 8chan becomes more popular and 4chan stays down long enough we get 8chanX

>>12996 Check /b/, some anons are working on something like that right now.

>>12965 The archive sites basically take shit from the 4shart API in so far as its exposed (I remember it basically being json of different threads but I could be misremembering) Thankfully IPs and cuckpasses aren't exposed there so none of the archives have access to them. But im not sure about trips. So in theory if your trip was verifiably tied to a real identity and it was all over an archive site then yeah you're fucked But unless you were one of the boomers posting their fat wives on /b/ every day then there's probably little enough on archives that could identify you as the poster

The only thing I see happening is that attacks on the site will increase because the admin have showed how incompetent they are and I have no faith that they will be able to fend that off.

>>13126 I only ever tripfagged when a thread required it and that was maybe twice many years ago. I just don't want that tied to my other posts.

>>12966 >.t 4chan regular

>>13137 Unless you were spamming slurs with with your passport scan as the image you're fine But in general for opsec reasons trips are a bad idea. I cant remember if they show up in archives but just in general the principle should be that nothing connects your posts

>>12640 Half the threads here are generals, the other ones get 10 replies per week with legit the same 'quality' of posting as the better half of 4chan /v/ threads. Why the FUCK would I stay here

>>12640 I may have 4cuck open on another tab when it comes back but ultimately I think I like this pace better. Sadly I think 8 and all the other alts will instantly die the second 4 comes back and it will go back to having 3-4 posts a day.

>>12640 my hope is that 4chan's spaghetti code is so bad it takes them too long to fix it and everyone just moves on

>>13162 Half of the threads being generals is the worst part, mark should really have a "Put your fucking generals in vg" rule and hide vg posts from the overboard by default. Right now this just looks like a vg bunker.

>>13162 This. Outside of the generals, discussion is almost nonexistent. People say this place will die when 4chan comes back up, so what the fuck was it like when 4chan WAS still up? Who even used this place? It's the same as every other altchan where you can get a response in a week.

>>13161 This, it's part of why the extension let you randomize filenames and hashes. Too many faggots archive searching for every post you've ever made.

>>13169 >Too many faggots archive searching for every post you've ever made. Literally no one does this

>>12966 NOt to mention the proof that many of the posters they were interacting with were bots. Someone made a 4chan simulator and for most of the threads it was identical to posting here.

>>13173 >for most of the threads it was identical to posting here. So why use this site

>>13171 You don't remember the people who would post the archive link like some kind of gotcha because you use the same file like 4 times? I'll even be a faggot myself to prove that. https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/text/b4k/ Just walls and walls and walls of people thinking they're the next Sherlock tracking a single person from thread to thread, most of the time being absolutely wrong using circumstantial evidence like file hashes and post times. Just five posts down is one from just before 4chan went down that was a guy claiming one post was several different people based on something something Nintendo bad.

>>13177 Because real people post here. 4chan was a target of so many shills and social media bots that it's impossible to tell if the activity was organic or just the largest social media campaign in history.

>One week without seeing twitter or steam chart threads. Don't you feel your psyche healing anons?

Hopefully it stays dead The captcha for each post No thread ids They even disabled the ip counter Also banned just because you triggered a jannygger Fuck that shit 8chan is a bit slow but I'll take it

>>13186 I definitely haven't felt the twinge of annoyance I would feel opening up 4chuck's catalog and seeing 10 twitter threads all starting with OH NO NO NO NO NO NO SISTERS

>>13187 What was the point of disabling the IP counter?

>>12640 I hope it doesn't come back and if it does I hope it gets hacked again or have other major technical issues or censorship that makes it unusable

>>12640 this place doesn't have /3/ (and even if it did it would never have more than about 4 posts a week because original /3/ was extremely slow already) so yes, but i might come back here once in a blue moon when really bored

>>12813 >That the hacker didn't have the full post history of every cuckpass holder (let alone release it) is pure luck This point isn't brought up enough. The hacker from the "We are anomalous" group for people born after 9/11 refused to release pass user data when he could have easily pulled a /b/ and throw them in the fire for a laugh. Meanwhile, recent emails show that senior staff members aren't willing to step down despite the leaks revealing that they actively let the website get sabotaged and only look after each other. The fucking hacker cared more about the average user than them.

>>12640 no reason to bring that shit site back

4shit dying is good but still sad. It was the last of the antediluvian (2007) internet spaces that had any cultural relevance. Oh if 4shit could also take jakfaggotry down with itself.

>>13223 that's like saying russia's economy collapsing is good yeah on an adversarial level it's good that your enemies die but if the entire world economy collapses (because russia is a major economy), you will die too what would be the point then?

>>12957 I have two bad news for you: 1. Most Indians you encounter online are posting from the flags they and their entire family moved to, Canada for example. 2. 4cuck was de facto ran by one od those Indians.

>>13230 That's a nigger, not a pajeet.

>>13230 Looks more black to me.

>>13230 Yeah, I keep forgetting Canada took in all the pajeets. >>13235 >>13236 You are both right, supposedly. RapeApe is apparently a mix of black and indian.

>>13228 Following that weird comparison, what're the 4shit collapse consequences here?

>>13239 I mean, so far things seem fine. If anything things improved a bit. Annoying that /v/ is flooded with generals I guess.

>>13243 Oh, I thought you were implying some grand consequences for the internet at large. So far I've only thought about: content farms stop using greentexts and many refugees flocking to Shitter and Discord. This place will be fine knock on wood.

>>13192 To hide the fact that most threads were botted/full of samefaggotry. It makes the site seem more active than it really is.

>>13326 >the fact that most threads were botted/full of samefaggotry This

>>13326 >>13330 If anything schizos not noticing UIDs and then ban evading to cry about them with a horde of (1)s has proved how easy it is for a few bad actors to pretend to be a legion.

>>12640 I'm only here because this board is the closest thing to active I've found. I barely even cared about /v/, it was like my fifth choice for browsing when my other boards were slow.

>>12640 i don't see much of a reason to stay here, it's just too dead outside of the dedicated circlejerk generals. you have week-old threads with only a couple dozen replies, and that's on the faster boards. it's even worse on the slower ones. if i want a serious discussion, i want it to be a discussion and not a series of letters delivered by carrier pigeon over the course of a month and a half. this site simply can't provide that.

>>13384 >Alive but because its getting spammed by shitpost poisoned schizos >Dead but genuine pick your poison, anon.

After learning about who the moderation team are, what their attitude is, what the priorities of leadership are, and how incompetently they were running the site, FUCK NO. I don't care if this place isn't blazing fast like 4chan was, /v/ was unusable garbage for years. No, I don't give a fuck about Ass Creed being woke or what some grifter on X said about it. I don't want to see half a catalog of Switch 2 price threads that are just thinly veiled whining about Trump. This place has people actually talking about games who aren't obvious pajeet ESL shills and actually has moderation that doesn't let schizos run rampant. It has staff that aren't activists who are adversarial to the userbase and let schizos run rampant. Hiroshima and RapeJeet can go fuck themselves.

>>13186 My mental state is already improved and I don't think of suicide all day long anymore

>thread IDs on both 8kun and 8chan Nah, I'll go back to 2+2 and never look back, shit moderation team be damned.

>>13428 If 4chan doesn't come back you can be assured that shit is gonna eventually make it's way here. Sure the moderation can handle it now, but it's already trickling in on this board. >>13436 What is exactly wrong with thread IDs again? It's not like it's a perma thing for your entire stay on the site. So for one thread all your posts are linked to you, big shit.

>>12640 i'll probably check in on here once a day or so when it comes back like i did when 7chan was alive, since there's bound to be some anons that stay. but i'll probably post more on 9gag if shit is actually happening

>>13442 >What is exactly wrong with thread IDs again? Little schizo can't samefag-agree to boost his shitpinions nor samefag-disagree to astroturf, prease understandu

>>13442 >that shit is gonna eventually make it's way here Sure that's a possibility. But one of the reasons 4chan was so shit was because of the very public residential proxy front ends that people were using to shitpost non-stop. All of the ones I know of converted into regular altchans and are concentrated into their own circlejerks. The fact that you can even post from TOR here and there isn't a glut of CP spam and bots is already miraculous enough. I feel like the people who were actively ruining /v/ find that it isn't worth the effort to make their way here.

>>13448 Yeah I was assuming that but thought maybe that anon had a good counter point to it. >>13450 Good point, and I hope you're right. It'd suck if this site gets ruined, especially when they've been so welcoming to rapefugees.

>>13451 if you dont want this site to be ruined then its in your best interests that half/v/ chugs along as if nothing happened whenever that does end up happening.

>>13442 outside of samefagging I assume it's because they can disappear into the crowd if they say some dumb shit or get tired of an argument and keep posting in the thread, which isn't really an issue if you aren't a baby (I have been that baby)

>>13326 >>13428 Been legit blackpilled by the realization that 4chan was actually mostly bots and paid shills. I knew it would get bad after the IP counter was hidden and LLMs became easy to run locally but holy shit the entire website was a gigantic social engineering project from like 2012 and on. After looking at the activity graphs the paranoid schizophrenics shouting about infiltration were right all along and I don't know what to feel about this. If it happened there, why can't it happen here? I knew the internet was dying for a long time, I just didn't realize that as it died it would look so alive dystopian shit I need to get out of here and start farming chickens or something

>Normalfags + failed normies >Redditors and twittertards >Underages >Shills and bots Remove all of them and you get like ~30 people per NOTdead board

>>13442 >what's wrong with less anonymity on an anonymous imageboard Put on a trip, Redditor.

>>13442 i think thread IDs are good, but i can see the other perspective. i've already seen a fair bit of gigafaggotry like finding a post from the same ID made 18 hours ago and picking it apart as part of an unrelated argument, or dismissing well thought-out posts simply because it's the first post that person's made in the thread. it's all very reddit.

>>13488 i'm really not convinced by the bot idea. i think the real blackpill is far simpler and sadder, which is that a lot of people are just very dumb and very stubborn. i talk to plenty of people in real life that just repeat the same conversations, same canned phrases. truly peoples is the real bots.

>>13488 I think the only thing stopping the bot flood from destroying this place is its obscurity. They haven't found it yet, and a week ago this board got like one post a month and it simply wasn't worth shilling on. The shills and bots aren't doing their thing for shits and giggles, they're trying to either make money or push political positions. It costs money to run this shit and they wouldn't bother for some tiny board nobody has ever heard of. Now that's changed, and I fear it's only a matter of time before this place is flooded. Enjoy it while it lasts I guess. >>13456 I think this is true. If 4chan came back, the marketers and bots would continue using it, and leave this place alone. I think a lot of people would leave here, but if enough stayed to keep a reasonable post rate, this would be a comfy place to post for years to come.

>>13516 The bot was already here in the final fantasy xiv thread, jannies did deal with it

>>13488 I'm blackpilled by reading in these threads that real humans still posted on 4chan after email verification was added

It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible is to admit it

I don't know, on one side I'm glad that the evil gamergate altchan got a way more chill and friendly userbase compared to the infernal battle royale that is the average halfchan /v/ thread, but I feel that it doesn't have the same fun spirit the old board had in its few threads of lucidity, I seriously hope funposting picks up soon

>>13450 >The fact that you can even post from TOR here and there isn't a glut of CP spam and bots is already miraculous enough. Israel is rangebanned, this is why 99% of the 3dpd CP and BBC spam is gone.

>>13610 >poccner banned I guess that explains where all the magatards went.

Honestly having that fucking disclaimer every time I visit is getting to my nerves

Rumor going around 4chan might have been USAID funded. Would be funny if it was true.

>>13610 KEK, JIDF not beating the allegations.

I'm going to stay here, It's more relaxing, people aren't just angry constantly or trying to get other people angry. Not nearly as much politics (or politics that actually bother me). 4chan was great cause conversations moved quick, but I didn't really enjoy anything else.

>>12640 what freedom my thread just got deleted

>>13626 it don't think it was the site itself but the shills, botfarms and jannies clearly were

>>13635 Same. This site is so much better, there's no comparison. Thank God 4chinz died and I was forced to try out other chans - I might have never discovered this beauty. I almost forgot what it was like, discussing shit with actual people instead of bots.

>>13516 Good point. Halfchan dying and coming back a month later with reduced population would probably be the optimal, most ideal thing to happen to imageboards. I almost feel like we're entering a new golden age.

>>13514 It's not even just being or stubborn it's blatant denial of reality because they don't want to deal with it

>>13642 Where?

so whats the proof that 4chan was full of bots beyond "i dont like what was being posted"

>>12823 They told him to leak ips of some boards but he claimed he couldn't as they closed the site by then.

>>13926 Removing the IP counter was a huge tell that they were inflating the Unique IPs counter.

>>12790 you're one of the retards who make chan boards worse, go kill yourself

Please PLEASE stay dead, the mass emigration to different imageboards sanitized the userbase in a way I thought it was never possible. Also, this speed is perfect for me, and it filters low attention span zoomers and (You) baiting retards.

>>13926 It was very noticeable after they took the IP counter away. People saying it was obvious a decade ago are blackpilling retards with an agenda, though.

>>12782 <racism outside /b/ >might not be a meme rule any longer. It was already getting enforced. You could constantly see posts being deleted for "nigger" and the jannies were using a "request ban" function of their toolkit that also mutes the poster for fifteen minutes. I want 4chan to come back so that cancer doesn't stay here, but also for a number of niche threads that were comfy and wouldn't thrive anywhere else (a particular /vr/ thread comes to mind, speaking of). But its return absolutely does need to have people going to war with the moderation. It needs to be hardcore spammed with "nigger' until they get the message about that stupid rule.

>>13988 Because calling people "brown" is the peak of insults in /v/ threads. No. I don't think people should be banned for saying nigger or whatever once or twice, but idiots spamming it every sentence was getting annoying the days leading up to 4chan's demise. Keep the /pol/ shit away from video games.

>>13997 Yeah, I'm not talking about using "nigger" as "brown." I'm talking about "Listen up nigger" or "oh shit nigger what are you doing." You know, the 4chan tradition that long predates any of this political bullshit? The same way calling someone a fag isn't being homophobic? Calling them a retard isn't being anti-developmental-disability?

>>14013 Yeah I get you bro. It's all in the sake of fun and keeping the sensitive people away. I was just getting fed up with people (who were probably bots based on their repetitive posting habits) derailing every thread into a shit flinging contest on /v/. I wish it was more active here. We can make /vb/ and /v/ work. File sizes are bigger here, moderators aren't faggots, and no stupid email verification bullshit.

>>13997 Those people are already far past saying nigger. Some of them are still spamming tranny. Others are jeetposting. Neither of those were being moderated.

>>13997 >Keep the /pol/ shit away from video games. But then how am I going to get paid.

>>13988 >It was already getting enforced. selectively as usual you could get random bans for nigger, jeet, gook, kike, and even just jew in the last 2 weeks before shutdown comically enough jap and nip never got any deletions or even warnings really shows the priorities of the negrophile jannies

>>14013 >>13997 Anons only started saying it, faggot, retard, etc. because it was offensive and shocking. When everyone uses nigger and faggot every sentence, it stops being funny and just becomes proof you're a /pol/ poster who's saying it out of genuine, purely normalfag malice. It just proves you've been turned into a normalfag who actually cares about American politics and shit due to gayops, instead of being funny.

>>14094 I assure you, a lot of it was genuine fagggot/kike/nigger fatigue.

>>13997 >Keep the /pol/ shit away from video games. I knew I had this shit saved for a reason.

>>13488 nothing proves this more than reading this post itself. these threads have been frighteningly coherent. please god 4chan don't come back!!

>>13937 >>13967 IP counter was removed because they didnt know how to fix it due to it bugging out, it's in the source code that the hacker leaked.

>>14095 Not back in 2008 when the site first exploded in popularity. Nobody cared about normalfag shit until GamerGate when people started listening to the retarded grifters telling them what they wanted to hear.

>>13997 It all comes back to normalfags ruining everything I love. I don't CARE about what some stupid black in Chicago did. Get off my fucking board and go listen to Joe Rogan and post on Facebook, you fucking FAGGOTS.

>>14140 The (((influence))) is undeniable at this point, you have to be a damage controlling commie yourself.

>>14098 Modern /pol/ was a mistake. Glad I left that board in 2014.

>>14098 Fuck off, /pol/.

>>12640 going back purely because i don't want to miss anything from my favorite drawfag

>>14124 source not looking through the whole source code

>>14124 Nice pilpul.

>>14145 Shut up, retard. I've been posting since 2006. I just want to talk about video games without policing how I talk. I do not want stupid faggots like you going "UM YOU'RE ACTUALLY A JEWISH SHILL" if I ever dare disagree with you or insult your precious tumor of a board. = /pol/ and /mlp/ should have had the same thing that mods did to /fur/ done to them. You faggots should have had your IPs logged and banned from the entire site for posting there.

>>14155 > I just want to talk about video games without policing how I talk. Who is policing how you talk? You're not even being coherent.

I don't hate /pol/, I used to even post on it, but most of it's posters that go to other boards can't shut up about politics and bring it into everything.

>>13610 It's so refreshing to see the admin go into detail like that. I wish the moderation staff was that communicative.

>>12640 oh I'm 100% going back. I like 8chan a lot, don't get me wrong, but I've been on 4chan for nearly 18 years. I couldn't truly leave if I tried...

>>13488 i knew about it but it was fun having conversations on niche shit or small convos in a speedy manner.

>>14169 /pol/ feels the need to proselytize because they think thier cause is something everyone needs to hear about.

>>14184 Every single hobby was destroyed by woke AKA tikkun olam AKA cultural marxism. You are a tranny.

>>14189 Chatgpt hands wrote this post.

>>14147 I've been on 8chan since GG for more than a decade, we made jokes on /v/ that 8chan was just /pol/chan from time to time. We aren't obviously aren't but the site as a whole is more /pol/-minded than 4chan. You're going have to deal with the antisemitic rants from time to time, refugee. >>14155 >I do not want stupid faggots like you going "UM YOU'RE ACTUALLY A JEWISH SHILL" if I ever dare disagree with you or insult your precious tumor of a board That's already has happened here for a decade. Yes it's annoying. Anime is still higher on the totem pole though. That said; >>14169 /pol/ is functionally dead here, since move to .moe/se. So if you're seeing /pol/ posting that's a 8chan /v/ poster.

>>14194 Jewish hands with no argument against mine wrote this one.

>>12640 I don't know why it's a choice, you can use both. I already lurked places besides 4chink.

>>13488 why the FUCK was the IP counter hidden in the first place? Don't think they ever gave an explanation for it

4chon will dominate the world.

>>14204 So they could swarm the entire site with bots. You can't point out one poster pushing a narrative if you can't see that the 100 post thread only has 5 unique IDs.

I liked /v/ because it was nice for finding and talking about new indie games or even just lesser played games. The only active threads I'm seeing on altchans are preexisting generals.

>>14208 obviously that wasn't the intention retard-kun, it had to be something that made more sense

>>14155 >reading through old news posts >it was the faggot who founded ED that convinced moot to bring back /new/ as /pol/ yeah i mad the fucking beginning of the end, he should've that fag to fuck off and made a point of making a rule against politics. fuck that nigger and fuck moot for being a retard

>>14227 How does that not make sense?

>>14232 He's in denial about how sold out most of 4chan's mod team was.

>>14227 According to this >>14124 they were just lazy on fixing it. Dumb excuse? Yes, but also tracks with their MO on moderating controversial topics as a whole. "don't want to deal with it the reports anymore so were just banning the discussion entirely."

>>14222 pretty much this. you could make a thread on 4chan's /v/ about basically any game, and if you were lucky it would get some traffic and have a bunch of activity. doesn't matter if it's some obscure shit like marble blast, you could get a real thread going with some persistence and a little luck. no one's making a marble blast thread on 8chan, and even if they did it'd die at 1 post.

>>14238 >according to this sourceless post that has yet to post source even after being asked

>>14239 Now I'm paranoid that those posters wouldn't be real people though.

I'm not going back I'm not letting those fucking jews fingerprint my browser and log my IP and run stenography analyses on my posts ever again thanks for the detox, have fun talking to the IDF's AI i guess

>>14243 how do we know you're not just an IDF AI posting right now?

>>14239 agreed. That's how I found out about Andrew's game, my personal indie GOTY for 2022

>>14230 Moot has flipped flopped on /new/ twice now. Remember that he deleted /n/ during the obama election. Guy couldn't make up his damn mind and should have trusted his gut. /r9k/ is a cesspool too.

>>14250 watch out for peter thiel and astroturfed ragebait, it's like loosh farming for the rich >>14239 those threads on 4chan were full of the dev's friend's friends and some indians shilling bad inoffensive indie slop and the niche ones would die in favor of astroturfed [NEW THING] threads

Yeah Iam not goin back its better for us to disconnect ourselves from would be forces that look to control the content we want to see. and we could always improve this chan as well we just need to figure out how.

Whether it's back or not I'll be staying away a while. The entire source code for the website is out there now. Every skid who wants attention is going to be poring over them looking for a different vulnerability. Considering hiroshimoot couldn't be bothered keeping the thing's software up to date, I really doubt they're going to do even a patch job on it, let alone the full rewrite they should really consider at this point.

>>14265 >dont make threads about obscure games because that's shilling >don't make threads about popular games either because that's also shilling die

>>14265 You sound like those "buy an ad" retards. Kill yourself.

>>12640 I will go back, this slower freedom is really fucking slow, if there was more activity it would be no brainer but it's looking that the majority just are waiting for 4chan to return

>>14273 kek mad you got found out?:

Man I'm fucking hungry for some steak right now.

they need us here normally the top boards are all spics sadly, the ppd is far too low to live here

>>14282 I made parthian chicken tonight, from the max millar recipe. It's real good. Not much beats a steak though.

Well, these altchans have a lot of nice bells and whistles, but I kind of miss how fast everything moved back home. I've seen a bunch of threads here from over 4 fucking years ago. I can scarcely imagine having some stupid shit I posted lasting longer than a week on the slowest boards I frequented. Sure it was mostly filled with bots and the staff were a bunch of clique-y trannies, but that's just how mods are on every fucking website. I'm not on 4chan because I respect the moderation staff. Plus, there's those threads and posts that absolutely make wading through the shit worth enduring.

I WANNA GO BACK HOME I WANNA GO BACK HOME I WANNA GO BACK HOME i WANNA GO BACK HOME

>>13488 I don't even know where else to go besides here

>>14222 >>14239 You could just make a new thread asking for game suggestions based on what you like you know?

>>14204 >>14227 The only plausible explanation I've seen if you don't buy the explanation that it was done to make marketing shill bots less obvious is that they broke it trying to do the April Fools joke from a couple years ago where we had the Day of the Rake and they never fixed it. I don't know if that's the real reason, but many things line up with the explanation given by /g/: The time the IDs went away was during that event, and they never came back. It's clear that it was code added onto the Futaba codebase, and as we've seen very few people on 4chan really understood how that shit worked. Which is why they were still using a codebase from 2014-2016. So when they broke it trying to do one of their funny april fools jokes the one person who could ever actually address it said "Fuck it, they'll use it anyway" and just never bothered putting it back because of the technical debt that had built up to that point. I am one to blame incompetence instead of malice. However, that doesn't mean other outside elements didn't notice this and use it to their advantage like whoever was flooding 4chan with bots in the first place.

>>14317 Recommendation threads are usually just people naming games that I've already played or heard of. Plus, some of the games that I've learned about from /v/ aren't games that I would normally play. I'm not a huge fan of Survival Horror yet I liked Look Outside and Crow Country.

>>14240 See: The thing is the source is on 4chan (gone, feel free to trawl through https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/text/IP%20counter/ to find it) or the sharty (fuck going there). People back in the day even noticed the IP counter on the clientside through inspect element, it just didn't do anything on the backend. Which makes sense. If they broke it irreversibly, they wouldn't immediately comment it out of the code if they were attempting to put it back and failed.

would anyone even care enough to hack 4chan again, it took 9 years for anyone to even bother trying a known security vulnerability.

I will be back in a heartbeat once it's back online. I'll probably come to 8moe more than I used to but this place is just so fucking dead. I actually really like some of the boards on here, /vb/ in particular is nice and this site's /b/ is much less retarded than 4chan's /b/. But man I need more than like five posts per hour on any given board.

>>14342 >would anyone even care enough to hack 4chan again See here's the thing that should keep you up at night This is just the hack they KNEW about. 4chan, very likely with as many vulnerabilities as it has, has been hacked before but the hacker instead silently extracted databases and credentials instead of putting Mikus on the front page and exclaiming "KILL NIGGERS WITH PICKAXES" like what this hacker did. The ones that are really good are the state-sponsored ones who have a huge stake in knowing which of their citizens are browsing the alt-right online meeting spot.

>>14346 you're telling me the CIA knows i've been spamming bust the crust? AIIIEEEE NIGGERMAN SAVE ME!!!

>>14349 worse: They've been spamming it with you

>>14344 This is how I feel. The board moves too slowly even now, and the site itself is slow as shit in a lot of ways too. Like if you post on any board that requires captchas every post it's an absolutely miserable experience. The first captcha never works so you have to click refresh which takes a minimum of like 10+ seconds, then it takes like 1-2+ minutes to try to post, then sometimes fails and you gotta do it all over. I've had a bunch of posts go through without being assigned to me so I don't get (You)s on them, I've seen people's posts get duped, etc. Could strike it up to being overloaded with this "activity" but that's pretty telling in itself.

>>14346 If the government wanted to know what websites you were browsing they'd just ask your ISP you stupid fucking nigger. I swear to god some of the shit you fags say is borderline qboomer levels of retardation sometimes. I miss the days of being able to assume that 99% of the people you interact with online have at least some level of tech literacy above that of a 90 year old grandma.

>>14361 I would also add, governments don't have to hack into 4chan to get any information. Hiro and co have been acquiescing to every government requests for years.

>>14349 It's more like the CIA, Mossad, basically everyone at this point lol is guiding what you post and think and can discuss more than them caring to dox you personally. Like >>14361 says they don't need to dox you. The US government alone has admitted to this shit repeatedly. With this USAID thing being the most recent admittance. https://datarepublican.com/award_search/?keywords=4chan

>>14361 >>14375 >>14380 >If the government wanted to know what websites you were browsing they'd just ask your ISP you stupid fucking nigger. I swear to god some of the shit you fags say is borderline qboomer levels of retardation sometimes. This isn't the American government who would do this hack you stupid fucking nigger retard, god. It's like you think America is the only country on the internet and half of the world isn't ran by phone scammers in the third world who use those credentials for scamming/botting.

>>14391 >doesn't even know what the fuck I mean by "they'd just ask your isp" holy shit

>HERRRO?? >HIRO-SAMA???? >GLORIOUS NIPON WANRA IP DATAS >ROH-HO! >YOU DO EEET FOR FREE? >ARIGATO HIRO-KUN It's that simple.

>>14391 why would i give two shits that china knows im making fun of shitty ubisoft games

>>14392 WOW YEAH CHINA AND INDIA IS GOING TO ASK MY AMERICAN ISP FOR MY INFO AND GET IT You stupid nigger illiterate imbecile. What do you think the third world hacker/scammer collab would have to gain from access to a website that processes 4chan pass payment info on their front page in cryptocurrency? You're just proving more and more that everything you said here >>14361 is describing yourself but you're too fucknigger retarded to get it. Post your black as tar hands and get it over with. >>14396 What would a third world state nation actor gain from your posting habits and IP addresses over the course of years? Something even your ISP doesn't have because you connect to 4chan over TLS? Of course I doubt you or the other guy know what TLS even fucking is and think the internet is in cleartext.

>>14398 yeah, what would China gain from knowing I shit on ubislop games.

>>14399 Because between shitting on Ubisoft games you had an identity leak 4-6 years ago you don't remember as everyone has. If you've posted on 4chan long enough, someone can build a profile on you and find you just like the glowniggers do now.

>>14398 >china and india will know what you fap to and your favorite video games Ok?

>>13238 >RapeApe is apparently a mix of black and indian. So he's like Reece's Feces.

>>14402 >And Access to my crypto wallet >And access to my steam profile that I gave away during a Steam Gift thread years ago >And access to a server that I advertised to play TF2 on >etc. >etc. You may think it's not important info but it is. You're just reducing it down in your head because you don't remember the extent of the information you've given away on 4chan.

>>14401 What kind of fucking information are you giving out? Why the fuck is rajeesh in mumbai making profiles of people on the internet talking about video games? What does emperor xi get out of this?

>>14404 kek

>>14405 >xi knows my steam profile and the tf2 server i play on And then what?

>>14405 Okay, I'm so sure Xi is gonna personally track down my IP and steal my credit card.

>>14406 >>14402 > What kind of fucking information are you giving out? You are a tiny datapoint in a table of people who have given out more than enough information than what normal people would put on their facebook. The problem is you're thinking only of yourself: Let's say this isn't true >>14405 for you, but for many people, it is. And then let's pivot away from you, personally, if you can manage that. r9k and soc had people posting their full drivers licenses for meet-ups, not very important information on its own but extremely important if you can get other verifying information about them. Which the post database does. >>14408 >And then what? They steal it? Maybe you don't have hundreds of dollars of games, but someone out there does, and they set their password to something they set as their email in a post they made years ago in vg.

>>14410 Wait the chinese government? This conversation was about foreign governments stealing your info, not random scammers living in a third world slum.

>>14409 >Okay, I'm so sure Xi is gonna personally track down my IP and steal my credit card. Are you going to start pretending he doesn't have a cybersecurity wing in his army that doesn't do exactly this all day long? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLA_Unit_61398 The problem with discussing anything with /v/ is you guys are really not informed enough to be discussing these topics in the first place. >>14412 Like this shit. This started because someone asked "would anyone even care enough to hack 4chan again" and the blackest nigger, in all his retardation, said that Xi and Crew would just ask your ISP for the personally identifiable information that 4chan keeps as a result of you using it because all of you are tech illiterate.

>>14416 What does the chinese government want from steam account? What exactly do they plan to do with my steam games?

>>14413 >Wait the chinese government? This conversation was about foreign governments stealing your info, not random scammers living in a third world slum. >This conversation was about foreign governments stealing your info, Did you just admit to living in China or does China not count as a foreign government to you? It's not just China, mind you. All of these third world shitholes see 4chan, an ancient PHP site on archaic hardware, and see that Crypto wallet grabbing Pass bux, database full of user-identifiable information, and salivate.

>>14416 Well I hope Xi enjoys playing my steam games I guess and the few hundred bucks I got in the bank.

>>14418 Why are these governments stealing peoples steam accounts?

>>14417 Yep, /v/ is back, where we all pretend to have fallen off a turnip truck instead of using our brains. >What exactly do they plan to do with my steam games? https://thegamehaus.com/gaming/how-chinas-steam-ban-affects-gamers-around-the-world/2022/01/20/ >BattlEye the company that created PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ released recent data from the company’s anti-cheat tech provider, indicating that 99% of accounts that have been banned for cheating are from China. >Irrefutable, wouldn’t you say. >This problem has repercussions beyond the lobbies too. It has spawned an entire grey market of Steam accounts, mass-produced and traded in China so cheaters don’t need to worry so much about getting their accounts banned. >The run-on effect of this is it increases the chance that your Steam account will be hacked because it has a resell value, pulling hackers from all over the world into this grey economy. This isn't even getting into people who have CSGO Items that are worth multiple thousands of dollars and have posted their handles in steam trade threads.

I hope 8chan is ready. It looks like the schizos found the place.

>>14423 Aaand now we've reached the end goal of any /v/ thread where the faggots who started shit run out of shit to sling and just pretend the whole topic (that they started btw) is off-topic. Feels like /v/ never left!

>>14426 Right, call me a schizo, but never actually say that I'm wrong.

>>14427 You're just spewing schizo nonsense, you retarded autist.

>>14422 >the chinese government makes money by stealing peoples steam accounts Provide proof or shut the fuck up.

>>14422 Pic not 100% related but came to mind. Getting indulgent people to care about this sort of thing is a Sisyphean task. Don't waste your sanity anon.

>>14429 No, someone said something extremely retarded and I corrected them, now they're pivoting that I'm a schizo for correcting them. The problem with /v/ is that there are too many pencil-neck nerds who are happy to pretend they're the smartest people in the room but are actually the dumbest people on the internet. They don't google anything, they don't use search engines, they just assume they're correct and double down when they're proven wrong. >>14430 Here's one such pencil-neck faggot now, you replied to a post with a link. Of course you don't believe it, nothing would change your mind because you think you're automatically right and the smartest person to ever live.

>>14416 >This started because someone asked "would anyone even care enough to hack 4chan again" That was retarded, yes. You are being wildly more retarded by projecting a worst case scenario. Few people have static IPs or anything else identifiable in a 4chan log so that they can actually have a profile of 4chan posting built for them. You are blowing the privacy/security implications that exist into comedy and that is why people are mocking you, you oblivious imbecile.

>>14433 You're 100% right and this kind of trap is what ruins threads on /v/. In reality, it's my fault for engaging in the first place since it's clear I'm never going to change their minds. Maybe we deserve 8chan and its slow pace.

>>14434 Nothing in that link says anything about the government being responsible for it you lying faggot.

>>14435 > You are blowing the privacy/security implications that exist into comedy and that is why people are mocking you, you oblivious imbecile. No I'm not, every fucking Janitor just got doxxed with way less than what some people put on 4chan intentionally. You don't browse boards like /soc/ or /r9k/, or even vg where people post the handles of Discords and Steam accounts they have had for years. You don't realize the identifiable information they post there. You don't think about it because you don't care. It's that simple.

>>14434 Anon, I think you might be a midwit. Sorry for calling you a schizo. Different ailments, I know.

>>14435 >You are blowing the privacy/security implications that exist into comedy This and conflating government and private entities as comparable issues. Everyone points it out and he just declares them to be "the problem" and dismisses them.

>>14449 Or you're just wrong, and are too dumb to admit it. That's okay, I'm used to dealing with people like that, having posted on 4/v/.

China just flew over my house.

>>14447 Jannies have to give their id to the admins. If you're giving out your full name and address on /r9k/ then you're a retard.

>>14450 >>14438 >This and conflating government and private entities as comparable issues. They are comparable issues, you faggot. These are the same entities. China hires private hackers and this has been proven for years. Here's the justice department making that connection just a month ago. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-charges-12-chinese-contract-hackers-and-law-enforcement-officers-global Again, you don't know about it because you're uninformed and you don't care. When someone posts a link, you think it's just schizo babble because you have to be the most right person in any thread. >>14453 >r9k is full of retards You're just learning about this now? You should see what people were posting on /soc/ and /lgbt/. Full-on group meetups with IDs.

>>14447 Now go back and read everything else in that post that you didn't quote and reply to, fuckface.

>>14455 It's not a worse-case scenario when it's proven to fucking happen on websites half as popular as 4chan. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/22/business/china-leaked-files.html >Paid article Fuck NYT just element inspect it all away.

>there are retards giving out their information >you are vulnerable to 4chan getting hacked the same as they are <What? No. >YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID lmao

>brainlets are too fucking stupid to understand what a datapoint is Not shocked.

>>14454 >>14457 >anon reads an article about intelligence agencies hiring hackers for espionage >thinks this means that intelligence agencies are hacking into their fucking steam account

>>14459 >wow, this guy really loves Halo Geez, China is coming for me. NIGGERMAN, SAVE ME

He starting out talking like foreign governments had a model to attach everything you've done on 4chan and all of your accounts to your real identity and you're gonna be in some deep shit and, when people pressed him, fell back to "china has authority over people who will steal your money/valuables if you shared it." Top kek.

>>14467 Um are you stupid? China is hiring HACKERS to HACK into things. They must be going after my steam account, what else would the chinese government want?

>>14464 https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/hotforsecurity/77000-steam-accounts-are-hacked-and-raided-every-month Damn you're stupid. Like a 'incapable of rotating an apple in your head' level of fucking retard.

>>14468 But ANON, you BOUGHT THE PASS so NOW THEY GET YOUR CRYPTO PORTFOLIO.

>>14467 >>14468 Xi really wants my TF2 Unusuals.

>>14470 Again, another article that says nothing about the chinese government being responsible for this.

OH GOD WHY DID I POST MY STEAM ID ON 4CHAN WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

>He's starting to samefag now Okay, I get the hint, you're too stupid to argue because you probably came from the Sharty. You don't need to push it home. >>14467 >He starting out talking like foreign governments had a model to attach everything you've done on 4chan and all of your accounts to your real identity and you're gonna be in some deep shit and, when people pressed him, fell back to I never 'fell back' to anything, my point originally is that you're a datapoint in a database. You may not have shared anything but tons of retards absolutely have because we see them do it all of the time. Again you're just not mentally equipped to handle this argument. So just keep samefagging, it'll make someone think you're right.

The word of the day is triangulation.

>>14478 You're too dumb to understand that you're wrong.

Xi just saw that I downloaded Furry Hitler because I posted Caramell Dansen on /v/ and is sending the hot chinese assassin babes after me!!! Help me Donald Trump!!!!!!

>>14476 This is how I know you're a fucking midwit, the argument the whole time has been third world governments but you laser-focused in on China because some other midwit (maybe even you) insisted they didn't have state-sponsored hackers. This is a circular argument of morons reinforcing each other's stupidity in a game of telephone because none of you read my posts. You just read each other's posts and think you understand what they're talking about. >>14479 Noooo anon that's not real and doesn't exist. >>14480 You're too dumb to explain why I'm wrong. You haven't even attempted to because you're aware you're too fucking stupid to grasp this argument.

>several people are taking the piss on me >SAMEFAAAAAG

>be leet hacker >get contacted by chinese glowniggers >they're offering me tens of thousands of dollars to do some work for them >oh shit, time to hack into some CIA databases and steal american secrets, it's like i'm really james bond >sign contract, wait for my orders >get another email one week later >my assignment is to hack into some fag's steam account

>>14484 I do appreciate not having post timers, yeah.

>>14471 >you BOUGHT THE PASS I think the funniest about this whole argument is that it's based on someone being stupid enough to buy a pass.

Guys CS:GO just launced by itself.

>>14483 No you retard, the argument is that foreign governments aren't targeting your fucking STEAM ACCOUNT, nobody ever denied the existence of glownigger hackers hacking other glowniggers.

>>14488 Anon, Stop being a midwit for a second: /vip/ had thousands of posts, there were LOTS of people buying the pass even if you didn't. The problem with this argument in general is people are too simple minded to think beyond their own keyboard. You weren't the only person using the site, there were hundreds maybe even thousands of people with passes.

>>14478 >my point originally is that you're a datapoint in a database Even if we accept this as true, you never went anywhere on that concept. You went to "stealing muh crypto!" What do they get out of fragments of user post histories connected by the IP address they had for a period or whatever the fuck else gets stored on 4chan that they don't get out of the publicly available data?

>>14492 People who bought passes deserve whatever they get.

Agent Orango, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is a daunting, dangerous task, vital to the democracy and freedom of our country. At 1430 yesterday evening a user on 4chan posted the sentence "FEE FI FO FUM I SHIT AND SHART OUT CUM". This is a major threat to our way of life. Your goal is to hack into the 4chan database and find out where this anon lives and steal his steam account and unusual TF2 hats. Don't let us down.

>>14493 >fragments of user post histories connected by the IP address they had for a period or whatever the fuck else gets stored on 4chan Anon, T H E Y B O U G H T T H E P A S S

>>14497 Don't forget the retards who folded in the face of the captcha and wait timers and gave their email.

>>14490 And my point is: Yes they fucking are you dumbass. Do you live under a rock? Stealing accounts is a major multi-national crime ring worth billions. https://www.businessnewsasia.com/2022112952358068-professional-stealers-opportunistic-scammers-targeting-users-of-steam-roblox-and-amazon-in-111-countries/ Except when I post an article reinforcing it you don't even bother reading it. These are how these under-the-table state hacking groups make their money so it doesn't look like major governments are funding them and the justice department has that on record. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-seizure-cybercrime-websites-selling-hacking-tools-transnational But you don't read any thing so it's pointless to discuss it.

>>14457 >>14470 >Clickbait shit Aw shit the bots are here now.

>>14498 Kek even I forgot about that because it seems so pathetic to do it, but you're right: the database of email addresses alone would be a treasure trove of information. I'm shocked the 4cuck admins weren't selling it themselves.

>>14501 Have you seen the XIV generals, they have been for a while now.

Guys I think China just flew over my house

>>14500 >there are hackers that steal steam accounts >the chinese government hires hackers >therefore the chinese government is using hackers to steal your steam accounts I just want to confirm, is this your line of logic?

>>14504 >XIV generals Why would I?

>>14501 Ok posting links to reinforcing information is clickbait shit. I mean you wouldn't be wrong if this was some hit piece about Gamergate but it's not. >>14494 See: I hate the people who bought the pass but even I don't think they should get their shit stolen by unreliable, broken code on 4cuck.

>>14505 Talk about flied rice!

>>14507 For laughs.

>>14506 >I'm going to strawman everything because I don't read any article posted I just want to confirm, is this your line of logic?

>>12810 My main gripe with 8/v/ is that, since generals are allowed and encouraged, it makes it a vg clone even though vg also exists

>>12813 >That the hacker didn't have the full post history of every cuckpass holder (let alone release it) is pure luck. Many, many people would have been turbofucked if that occurred This anon gets it but apparently most of 4/v/ were tech-illiterate retards.

>>14513 The article you posted doesn't mention any governments.

>>14520 I posted an article from the justice department that explained it, but again you don't read anything so it's pointless even discussing this shit with you. Why should you read anything? Greentexting is a way better way to argue than engaging. Video games.

He's been given the opportunity to actually make his point about how (((THE DATASET))) is dangerous to you as a 4chan user who doesn't share personally identifying info or avatarfag or whatever. And instead he's continuing to bitch at the guy saying "China isn't stealing your steam accounts" and vomiting news articles about it. What a beautiful bout of shitposting. This has been fun.

>>14522 https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-seizure-cybercrime-websites-selling-hacking-tools-transnational This article? It doesn't say anything about foreign governments.

*steals your unusuals* heh, nothing personnel, gwailo

>>14523 Schizoposters. Just like home.

>>14523 Anon, the problem again is >>14492 >The problem with this argument in general is people are too simple minded to think beyond their own keyboard. You weren't the only person using the site, there were hundreds maybe even thousands of people with passes. And the same goes for you: You may not think you shared any personally identifiable information, do you know that for sure? Fuck no you don't. The problem is again you don't get this argument in general because you're too selfish to think about anyone but yourself. But sure, it's just shitposting, you're just pretending to be a retard. For fun. >>14525 Again you don't read any of these fucking articles so you also missed >>14454 >Chinese Law Enforcement and Intelligence Services Leveraged China’s Reckless and Indiscriminate Hacker-for-Hire Ecosystem Which is linked to that article because it's part of the same crackdown. But you're not going to read that one either so what does it matter? You're going to greentext something and pretend you've won. Or just say I'm schizo because you're too dumb to strawman it away.

>>14523 Also I find it fucking hilarious that we're on 8gag but you're acting like me not talking to you for like 20 full minutes means I haven't addressed you. I did address you, I just don't think you're worth any more of my time because this board isn't ran like your home board where the person who spams the most until the other gives up wins.

anyway it's 2AM, idk what time it is in your backwater monkey country, so I'm going to bed. Ta.

>>14533 Yes, they hired hackers. That does not mean that they hired hackers to steal your steam account. The chinese government does not want your steam account, they hire hackers to steal information from the US government and corporations, not steam accounts.

>>14533 >do you know that for sure? Fuck no you don't. I do. Now what, dipshit?

>>14533 >you're too selfish to think about anyone but yourself. You have been repeatedly told that we recognize that there are retards posting their info and we don't care about what happens to them. They do the same thing elsewhere and get fucked, often without even requiring a breach.

>post my credit card number, expiration date, and security code on /r9k/ >mao zedong hacks into 4chan and steals my post where I gave out all of my personal information >uses my credit card to buy thousands of dollars worth of steam games bros...why didn't I listen...

>>14534 Then why haven't you explained what they can do to me with the great big database that includes my posts (with no personally identifying info or accounts or anything) along with a bunch of other people (who have given personally identifying info)? You have not even once replied to people pointing out that 4chan users don't have the same IP address for fucking years of posting (there is a tradition of getting a new IP whenever a janny has a melty for fucks sake). It seems that you have, in fact, not taken advantage of the opportunity to make your point - that being, and I quote >my point originally is that you're a datapoint in a database You have, at best, pulled a "Have you no sympathy for those poor retards getting fleeced?!?!!?" and have instead just postured it away while pulling out the EVIDENCE for the guy who keeps poking you about china stealing steam accounts.

8chan is better and it's active enough. juicy upload limit too

>>12915 >VPN/tor Guess what they explicitly block so they can give your "in minecraft" shitposts to local law enforcement

>>14534 >Why won't he explain his original point instead of being willingly drug off on this stupid tangent? <Aaaaaw is wittle anon upset that I didn't reply to him? <Look at these guys spamming the stupid tangent like that means they win. Why would you asking me to explain my original point be worth my time? lmao wut

>>14553 Based. Retards who incriminate themselves on 4chan deserve the consequences.

>>13167 Great idea m8 Also why 2 vg boards lul

>>14556 I think the guy who made vgg/ didn't notice vg existed.

>>14555 To be fair, Cpt Fragile Ego having a neet flown down the eastern seaboard over a 4chan post so that he can confront him in front of a camera is pretty comically pathetic.

>>14560 Doesn't matter, made me laugh therefore it's good.

>>14560 qrd?

>>14564 Florida policeman enters national awareness for dumb shit. Neet in new york suggests that he should be killed. Extradition happens. In between the neet deboarding the plane and arriving at jail, policeman and news camera are waiting to confront him and ask the neet about making good on his threat.

>>14568 Oh and it happened multiple times. People saw some guy getting arrested for making threats on 4chan, and then proceeded to do the same thing, only to get arrested just like the first guy.

>>14564 >>14568 Sheriff Chitwood.

>>14568 lmao i don't need any more context than that to know the cop has a dick you need a microscope to see still funny though

>>14568 I don't know how to feel about that. Majorly that cop has a fucking ego problem, but the NEET was dumb enough to make death threats on fucking 4chan.

the discourse in this thread made me draw this

>>14281 "Buy an ad" - totally not a bot in a thread about a game from an ad.

>>14204 It was to cover /pol/ raiders spamming about /pol/ (As in, Muh /pol/ /pol/ lost incels BTFO) in SweetBaby threads

Good morning >>14546 >>14541 >You have, at best, pulled a "Have you no sympathy for those poor retards getting fleeced?!?!!?" No the problem is you and maybe one other Anon doesn't see the problem in being among targets just because you, personally, aren't that target. Which is naive at best, downright dumb at worst. The "They haven't come for me yet, so I'm safe forever!" mindset. Either ways you should be angry at 4chan for having such paper thin security but making sure all of their 4chan pass info is up to date because that's all they viewed the website for anyway. >>14635 lmao, that's funny. We should start the rumor that people got hacked buying 4chan passes so less people buy them.

>>14273 post about boring games if you want just saying people in those threads aren't really people, catch my drift? do you niggers really dream of synthetic (You)s?

>>14560 It's comically pathetic but let's not pretend the NEET didn't deserve it. Worse: He got to do it on Taxpayers dime. Chad move, I say.

>>14797 I'm convinced the average /v/ user would be happy just talking to bots, because they sure seem to reply to the same shit all of the time.

>>14799 no wonder they're so fond of xitter too

>>14797 Yes, any game you don't like can't be possibly liked by anyone else, and any post about it must be made bots and shills even if the game itself is some one man project with a budget of burger and cola. This stick-up-your-ass attitude is part of why discussing anything on 4/v/ was near impossible.

>>12640 I'll be back to /an/ and /ck/, yeah. Literally the only reason I'd have to go back to 4chan /v/ though is the activity. Everything else about the board has become such utter dogshit. If more anons would choose to see 8chan as a worthwhile alternative, I'd 100% spend most of my /v/ related browsing here. I am interested to see what happens with /trash/ though with how quickly the board seems to have acclimatised.

>>14830 If every shitposter ends here then there wont be any difference with 4chan. Unless the shitposters were the jannies themselves

>>14829 >Yes, any game you don't like can't be possibly liked by anyone else, and any post about it must be made bots and shills even if the game itself is some one man project with a budget of burger and cola. This is true tho it's why you should crash every onirism thread even ones made on different websites

>>14832 >Unless the shitposters were the jannies themselves 110% I believe it.

>>14832 It's more the botting and everything associated with that that's the issue over there, it's a 24/7 target that's been taken over by all sorts of crap. More activity naturally means more room to shitpost, but I'll happily take that assuming 4chan keeps most of the attention from here and other places.

>>14829 I'll be honest fam I might go back just to shill mine own game but yes, that's how it works. 4/v/ was awful for discovering actually cool indie games. it was an astroturfed circlejerk from the same old retards echoed by a bunch of bots. I didn't even go lol buy an ad, I respect the hustle but it made for some really low quality threads and worse optics for the good games

I don't understand the difference between /v/, /vb/ and vgg/. /v/ here feels like generals but why does vgg/ exists?

>>12640 Thanks to the leak i now have more shitpost material to make their lives and jobs hell with all those devilish things i have in plan for them, they're gonna regret ever working for free.

I feel like Chuck in BCS after he tore down all The Walls. 4chan is The single most important site to me. There hasnt Been a Day I havent visited it since I started Browsing Back in 2008

Any real ETA on when 4cham is coming back? I heard two weeks, then one week, and then that it would be back today, clearly doesn't look the case though.

>>13610 awesome

>>14906 Their shit got all fucked up, if it comes back this month, then I wouldn't trust it at all with my IP.

>>13186 No because the absolute ghost towns that have replaced it make me feel empty. At least shitposting and bitching about retarded steamchart threads distracted me.

>>14915 It should have given you time to refocus on your life and hobbies. Why let the site drain your time away like this? And I don't mean that as an insult either, but you could be doing a lot more or getting a lot done without it.

>>14855 It was good enough if you knew where to look, I've made a fine list of potentially interesting stuff to check out by just snooping around in threads about last played games, upcoming releases, thematic threads etc. Of course more often than not it's just same old shit, but on the offchance you might find something nice that you're unlikely to hear about anywhere else.

>>14915 I've played more vidya in the past week then in the last months together simply because I'm not shitposting so much. I had no idea just how fucking addictive it was.

lurking on 4cuck helped distract me from the voices

Honestly the actual speed of the board isn't a problem so much as the load times on images and videos, Sometimes it takes like a full minute.

>>14911 Cripplechan is even worse in that regard, so I don't know why you're even posting here if you care about that.

>>14938 QRD?

>>14938 you don't have to use your ip to post here thoughbeit

>>13488 The level of bot activity was pretty obvious if you paid attention in certain boards. People from sharty actively brag about running bots to "soyduel" on 4chan in their wiki, ylyl threads on /gif/ were all bots, /v/ was incomprehensible and very obviously mostly bots, /fit/ was constantly being spammed by demoralization bots. You're right though if this place gets more well known it will eventually happen here too, we just have to gatekeep properly. Being off the google search algorithm helps a lot. It seems in normie spaces people are considering the sharty to be the new 4chan, i see on normie social medias people saying to go to the sharty. If you look at that place that is a schizo hellhole containment board so its a good thing that the normies are being driven there, let this place stay smaller.

>>14973 >we just have to gatekeep properly Different poster, but I don't know how it's even possible to do that anymore. I've said it before, but the internet as is currently exists is far more vile than 4chan (/pol/ aside, but that's it's own separate entity at this point). It's for that reason that "lurk more" hasn't worked in years. That ocean of piss, it's now the entirety of the online platform. It kind of makes me want to go back to old-school forums at times since nowhere really feels sane anymore. Guess all I can really do is hope 4chan remains the sole focus of collective autism.

>>12640 Probably lurk both.

>>14855 >fam Spotted the tranny who thinks he's cool for pretending to be a nigger.

>>14546 >You have not even once replied to people pointing out that 4chan users don't have the same IP address for fucking years of posting (there is a tradition of getting a new IP whenever a janny has a melty for fucks sake). So this must be the thread where techlet anon finally learns what Browser Fingerprinting is, and that pushing the little button on the back of his router doesn't do shit for keeping him anonymous from 4chan staff because he's doubtfully privacy conscious enough to use a browser that resists fingerprinting. They've only chosen not to ban based on it until now, but they have your posting history dating back to the Google Captcha age if you're still using the same hardware.

>>14915 Stability is only a short-term problem as servers are brought online. This place is far from a ghost town. I can't see how anyone can look at a board with even a few posts per minute and think "Wow no one posts here". The endless warring threads were practically automated with how any of them were just reposts of a repost repost repost. Getting into a steamchart thread was identical to getting into a religious debate in prior times. What's the fucking purpose? You already know what everyone is going to say.

>>14915 >make me feel empty Anon I dont think that's an imageboard issue but something that runs deeper in you.

>>14915 >>14973 You see we used to have a solution for this back in the day, in ye olden 4chan times, we would browse more than one board. Yeah, crazy, right? There are currently seven boards more active than /vb/. The idea that you only stuck to one board the second you clicked the site was a joke people made about people from old /b/: That it was the newfag filter that kept retards from finding the quality boards. Now, that was a long time ago, but you're still capable of browsing multiple boards, even multiple /v/ boards, and it still won't be /v/ speeds but it will be close to engaging you at all times. There's even an overboard for doing just that.

>>15119 >just lurk on /gacha/ and other trash boards you don't like

>>15119 >Browse multiple boards >Nothing changes cause < LOL THERE ARE BARELY ANY USERS LEFT

>>15119 >split the users and it'll work surely you are retarded

>>14239 >>14254 The one time I made a thread about an indie game on /v/ I was accused of shilling, then the fucking actual dev of the game somehow found the thread and sperged out in it, it was hilarious but also sad

>>14169 That is literally everyone's problem with it. Yes, niggers commit crimes. We get it. But they refuse to be obsessed with them on the board meant for it and instead come into my thread about Tribes: Ascend to post soyjacks when I want to talk about going fast.

>>14204 It's quite literally because it broke and they never bothered fixing it, so they just removed it. You can see it in the source code leak. They were too fucking stupid to fix the feature so they just removed it.

this whole scenario might just revive 8chan

>>12640 Going to go back to 4chan for fewer boards with user IDs, but lurk here too.

>>14915 You realize that you just admitted you used ADHD-tier posting speed to cover up having to stop and think about you're saying or how your life's going, right?

>>15119 Didn't take long before baiters came here

>>15160 So?

>>12640 he was right though, it was evangelical cancer taking over the board and every board it infected

>>15179 not like it matters anymore though, the last few years have been awful, the thiel bots have pretty much taken overy board i was interested in, which was a result of 4chan being recognised as an important chess piece in terms of online influence in 2015/16. sort of what happened to twitter too around that time, which also have become an unusable sludge of bots. i will go back but only because it's my home, but i feel a great deal of sadness when i think of what the site had become. i doubt by 2030 there will be any organic content left, it will be just bots. at least i got to witness that 06-12 internet golden age

>>15190 i will remind you all the bots and spam suddenly vanished the week following HAMAS attacking israel

>>12640 I don’t even see what’s wrong here. Everyone complained about /pol/ taking over the site and turning every single thread into culture war nonsense Notice how no one is screeching about trannies in the water supply? Notice how no one is quote shitposting with soyjaks? That was 90% of posts

>>12640 Entire staff of the website has to change. The gamergate exposed how fucking corrupt the staff is, even moot, so unless literally all of them leave, there's no fucking reason I'm going to a place that's a literal lefty website / reddit tier.

>>14927 Just wait till you find out what other effects social media addiction has! >lowered IQ, decreased problem solving skills, critical thinking erodes >compulsive dopamine chasing creates adhd like symptoms >increased risk of dementia >dimming of imagination, loss of ability to visualize and audiate And then the effects of consuming a 24/7 stream of propaganda oh my

>>14635 kekd

Guys lets be real here, why the fuck would you want to go back to place ran by trannies and leftists? All that censorship of speech, all those bots, all the psyops ran by intels. Why do you want to go there anon? Why? You might as well start using reddit or twitter at that point, what difference does it make?

>>15242 because i want to torment them for all eternity

>>15242 I am a leftist.

>>12640 chan culture being packaged into an accessible, flanderized reddit-friendly thing for normalfags who wanted to use it for influence started with gamergate, then lead us to this. the problem was that the mods did not gatekeep enough.

>>15242 t. brainwashed thiel drone

>>15242 Because it's just better. Sorry chud, you can't compete with dudes in rainbow socks who will absolutely never be women.

>>12996 does XT not work?

>>15257 Unlikely to happen.

>>12996 >>15262 bummer. at least fullchan x exists.

>>14882 What other boards? You are not seriously fucking suggest to casually browse /gacha/ and /vyt/ right? There is not even /tv/ or /sci/ here for fuck's sake, /tg/ is so dead it might as well not exist and everything from /vst/, /vrpg/, /vr/ and /vm/ is thrown together into /v/ to die under circlejerk generals.

>>15267 >fullchan x Doesn't work on my machine, sadly.

>>15282 There's always /trash/ anon. Come home.

>>15289 I'd browse /pol/ before that accursed place.

>>14918 >It should have given you time to refocus on your life and hobbies what life and hobbies?

>>15282 There's regular /v/

Kill jews and and anti /pol/ faggots

>>15312 Fuck off. /pol/.

>>15243 sounds like a knee-jerk response, and not something that bears good fruit in long run >>15245 if not a troll, and you thought previous site's moderation team was good, then it's time to do some self-reflection anon >>15248 how? elaborate >>15254 It's not better, it was heavily botted, there was gaslighting, there was shilling, there was intel psyops. Only thing good of old site was that it had higher accesability to normies, so there was a chance for normie to get red pilled by visiting 4chan and spreading that anti-semitism to their normiespheres, but now that the site is gone that risk is gone. Other than that, it was very much a site that gradually grinded its userbase, since the moderation team was actively against its own users and worknig with intel agencies and shills.

>>15242 considering the normalfags actually migrated to xitter I fucking hope things stay this way. makes me realize it's that fucking shithole that really fucked us

>>15318 >it was heavily botted Provide evidence. >there was gaslighting As with any social media websites. >there was shilling Provide evidence. >there was intel psyops Provide evidence. I don't care if the Jews fucked with /pol/. Keep it /v/idya.

>>15242 I don't care I just want a faster board that lets me post anonymously if I get banned I just switch IP it's really no big deal

>>15326 He's probably a Kiwifarms fag seething about the /v/ wordfilters, not knowing that the actual problem with the filters was that they hadn't been updated since like 2018.

>>15326 >Provide evidence. Does 8moe having the same volume of users as 4cuck on a normal day yet a third of the activity, even less, track? Or is that too conjectural for the Beit Din?

>>15242 I'm far leftier than the mods are, and also way less deranged RapeApe thinks he's le ebin culture warrior that is saving western society with his anime and vidya taste, which explains why culture war threads never get dealt with Meanwhile every alt-chan is dead as fuck >>15345 >Does 8moe having the same volume of users as 4cuck In what world? lol

>>14523 >>14530 Saucy, garlicky breads, just loike mootmama used to bake them.

>>15353 in the world where 4cuck user numbers got leaked and you can check them right now lol

>>15345 >Does 8moe having the same volume of users as 4cuck on a normal day yet a third of the activity Delusional.

>>15356 Ok, anon, so explain how 4chan somehow has a million times more activity than 8chan despite supposedly having the same userbase. And bear in mind any coping you do about jeet spamming or vpn switching or whatever would mean that those numbers would also be accounted for in the supposed same userbase. In other words, 8chan.moe would actually have way more people than 4chan has, since it wouldn't be jeets switching proxies.

>>15362 you just answered it, Jeet Shills and Proxies.

>>15363 And why the fuck wouldn't these supposed leaks you're talking about show the jeet vpns as unique users, retard?

>>15365 because they work on server farms and don't bother with VPNs

I had like 10 threads on my watch list to sate my coomer needs that aren't being met here. As soon it's back, I'm gone.

>>15366 You just said the issue is proxies and now you're saying they don't bother with them. Who do you think you're fooling?

>>15369 >Who do you think you're fooling? dunno, a gay nigger faggot perhaps?

>>15367 Yep same here. The board for giant girls is dead on this site, I wanna go home

>>15367 /trash/ is already a thing

>>15367 Did you get banned on panda and pixiv or something?

>>14882 /v/ = vg /vb/ = 4chan /v/ vgg/ = vg but without the post IDs vgg/ exists so anons can comfortably samefag or have a safety net for when they make dumb replies so that it's not tied back them. Of course none of that will do you any good if you're autistic enough to be recognized through repetitive behavior

>>15326 >Provide evidence. I noticed here on 8moe that boards without captcha gets shills like you. If every board here uses captcha system, maybe we'll have less shills like you here.

>>15242 You don't know what you're talking about. It's either >slow shit (8chan and all altchans) >censored shit (reddit twitter) >the least shit (4chan)

>>15433 >demand evidence >"y-you m-must be a shill!!" Neck yourself, queer.

>>15443 Why hello there sharty, shill

>>15446 You still haven't provided any evidence.

All this debacle should AT LEAST make most anon more aware of the dopamine bot treadmill 4/v/ had become. In fact, what have you been doing with all the new free time /vb/?

>>15440 Is it impossible to have 4chan without corrupted staff, and trannies? You do know you don't need to bend the knee to the oppressor, right?

>>15463 Been playing video games and working on my writing. Honestly I post on /vb/ more than I used to post on /v/ as well. It was more difficult finding an interesting thread there because of the marketing spam.

>>15463 Started playing Look Outside and rewatched No Game no Life, also been learning to draw more

>>15465 This place ain't 4chan and it will never be 4chan. It was made for people who couldn't stand 4chan in the first place.

>>12640 I don't have to choose, I'll simply use both. If anything I'd prefer to come back here after 4chan comes back and vg chatfags have left.

>>15463 I started a patreon

if /vb/ was 100x more active I would consider staying

>>15480 4chan /v/ was not 100x more active than /vb/. We're talking 2x, 3x tops, and most of those posts were seamonkeys and bots.

>>15480 >100x more active too much, 10x would be better

This thread and board makes me remember why 4cuck sucked

>>15482 4/v/'s pph alone rivaled the pph on this entire site. maybe it's not as noticeable during peak hours but in the early morning this board dies.

I hope 4chan never comes back so we can all be free, but there's no way the world governments will let it stay dead forever. I do enjoy this break from all the bots, government agents, and marketers though.

>>15440 It's slower because there are fewer samefags, bots, and general spammers.

>>15471 It's gradually turning into same kind of place if you let the discord leftists and trannies dictate what goes on in here.

>>15318 what made 4chan fun was the range of people on it, arguing with retards in particular, you are a thiel drone because you've been successfully psy-oped into believing you must only ever exist in echochambers where you're just being fed what to think and believe rather than engaging with a wide range of people and thinking critically

>>15544 Are the trannies in the room with you right now?

>>14555 >>14798 The entire chitwood case was fake and the only people who post about on 4chan / 8chan are unironically paid shills. /pol/ not only found out the real identity of richard golden but accurately predicted the outcome of the court case months before it happened despite it not even being illegal, the whole thing was just autodidactic "lesson" for dissidents.

>>15480 Lets hope this downtime encourages anons to use the other alt-chans for once

4chan going down made me realize just how lonely i truly am

>>15546 also the prostelysing and evangelism that leads to people purposefully trying to bring people to the site/board to convert them to join the echochamber, fundamentally changing the character of what existed before the evangelism started happening. that is what killed /pol/ in particular from 2014 onwards

>>15563 You are not alone, I am here with you Though you're far away, I am here to stay

>>15563 Same here, bro. It's time to go outside again and fill life with life.

>>15362 >Ok, anon, so explain how 4chan somehow has a million times more activity than 8chan despite supposedly having the same userbase. Do you not get the idea of splitting? The userbase right now is in a million pieces.

>>12640 I'm torn. I'll probably split between the two sites since I still enjoy browsing 4chan even if the mod team were starting to be fags.

>>13930 Speaking of, someone told me that sharty turned on the hacker and they hate him now. That actually happen or just being being delusional/misinformed/both?

>>12823 Leaking them would be a serious Crime that would put a bounty on him >>15607 i wouldn't be surprised, the shartyfags are actual niggers

>>15608 Me neither honestly. I only poked over there once after the hack to see what was going on and I don't understand the appeal of it. it was funny that half the place was having a meltdown because a lot of the biggest schizos and retards from 4chan flooded there after the site went down half to fuck over sharty for getting 4chan shut down, partly because they heard about it from the hack and decided to go there. That shit was funny, but not funny enough to stay there.

>>15615 i was only in the sharty while the hacker was leaking shit, could you explain how these board schizos managed to battle the soyfags?

>>12640 8chan: Actual discussions, OCs, and sincerityposting 4tran: my toilet to shitpost in and actively make it worse for everyone else. moot should have mercy killed it, but until then, modern 4tran is solely a zoo to provoke autistics faggots into tard screaming and nothing more

>>15607 I haven't looked much into it but here >https://arch.b4k.dev/meta/thread/3058/ you have nigh-everything. Sharty wouldn't play touhou music and post anime girls, so the hacker being a sharty is out of the question, however he's most likely killing two birds with one stone. There's a theory, dunno how credible now, that the hacker was /ourguy/ janny kicked out the moment he wanted to improve the site because head mods like shitape (if leaks are to be believed (I believe it without checking honestly)) are "bbc"spammers, and long-term jannies are almost always trannies. Back to sharties and the hacker however, sharteens are a form of memetic cancer born from 4chan, specifically admin neglect to deal with /qa/ sooner. By claiming to be a sharty the hacker removed attention from himself and directed it to whole shartychan, which could even include legal troubles 4chan staff might want to conduct out.

>>15594 >The userbase right now is in a million pieces. It's really not, there's only like 2-3 alt-chans that are getting good traffic, but that still doesn't explain where the rest went. It was all bots, and if we get captcha system here, we make sure they don't come here too.

>>12640 the moment 4chud comes back online i'm posting a steam chart thread on /v/ they deserve it desu

>>15626 (Me) forgot to include, it's been a while but I think the hacker still hasn't sold out cuckpass users much to soijakers discontent

>>12640 A decade ago I blew it off for 4chan. Now? Here, 4chan is beyond unrecognizable now and even back then it was noticable but still bearable. I was on some copium thinking "it'll go back to normal after summer...or next year, or next year... or" you get the idea.

>>15631 Those are unironically fun.

>>15639 <tfw forgot about anons being happy that wokeslop game failed i know i'm gonna call them poorfags for not buying switch 2 + the new mario kart on day one

>>15546 some of the dumbest, most uninformed people on /v/ came from some variety of shitpost cult that told them to push a narrative about a game flopping. sure a lot of them just do it cause stirring up shit is fun, but "idiots thinking they're in good company" and all that. i would sooner suffer to make a retard look stupid than have everyone agree on something stupid.

Nothing-ever-happens-bros... two more weeks...

>>15652 Make it stop.

>>15652 I think what bugs me most isn't that 4chan is down, is that there's complete fucking radio silence from everyone about what the hell is going on as far as if/when the website is going to be back up. Even if it's just "things are fucked, it might take a few weeks"

>>15673 Doubt they want to led on just how fucked everything is. Fixing 10 year old code is a couple weeks work with multiple updates and fixing every new problem that comes with it. Then I wouldn't be surprised if some jannies and mods jump ship and they need to find someone new with the threat of doxxing now always looming over their heads. Shit's just fucked for them in every way.

>>15673 That kind of response indicates that they don't have a clear estimate, which means there's still tons of work for them to do to make sure this doesn't happen again. We're pretty much going to be here for a while

>>13186 No I just ignored them You could just filter them fairly easily if you wanted, simply adding a word every now and then Seriously, you whiners make a mountain out of an anthill, filters fix every issue

>>13442 >What is exactly wrong with thread IDs again? Being tracked every post ruins the point of the website being anonymous and why people come here. People spend half the thread talking about each others ids. And you can tell discussion and shitposting is neutered as a consequence. Samefagging isn't inherently bad and can be fun to do and read. And most importantly, it stops GENUINE POSTERS who don't want to be seen as spamming or starting every topic even if they create and participate in high quality discussions.

>>13541 What are you talking about? I never once provided an email–not even a burner–to post on 4chan.

>>13664 >I almost forgot what it was like, discussing shit with actual people instead of bots. People say this over and over and over and over every fucking thread I read. Let me ask you, I'm genuinely curious, do you only post on /pol/ or /v/ or what? There are dozens of good boards, generals, and threads on certain topics. People chose to wade in shit and then complain it stinks. I like 8chan too, but come the fuck on, 4chan was hardly iredeemable. In fact, I have seen just as much bait on here, and many of the old resident shitposters quickly migrated here and continued on as normal. It's the same in most ways. Do you think m&ms taste differently because they come in different colours as well?

And don't get me started on the email narrative I didn't give them my email and I never faced the 15 minute timer aside from the literal first wait on the day they added them. You did not need to give them your email, you did not need to wait 15 minutes between each post. You are either literally retarded or parroting a narrative you've heard on something you've never experienced yourself. If you clear your cookies, open 4chan in another tab and with a new ip, yeah, you'd have to wait 15 minutes once again Guess why? It's not to bait out your email, it was to stop spammers and mobile-posters ban-evading and shitting things up. And it did work, it didn't get rid of the problem, but it DID WORK. But nooo, it's the same retarded argumentation every thread with absolutely no basis in reality For all the complaining about bots you sure do sound like one.

>>15686 >Samefagging isn't inherently bad and can be fun to do and read. Kys lol schizoposting on 4chan has gotten SO BAD in the past few years people will legit argue with themselves for 8 hours a day to try and sway the board’s opinions

>>15712 Even if you think that, surely you can agree that having no ids is a necessary evil. People don't want to make 1 stupid reply and be forced to remain silent the rest of the 1000 reply thread, especially on a slow site like this. That could be days, weeks, months even. People want to discuss different topics in the same thread without everyone saying "hurr durr why are you talking about this bro", even when you are on-topic. Having obsessed retards quoting each of your posts because they lost an argument doesn't make a site better. In all the id threads I've browsed on here I've seen the same, not just against my posts, but in general >1 reply >50 replies >8 replies but talking about different things >4 replies just to avatarfag or post shipping-shit Flags are good, ids are dogshit. I've said my piece.

>>15730 >Flags are good, <ethnic shitflinging good >ids are dogshit. <being accountable for all posts in a singular thread bad Are you hiding your mental illness or perphaps you're of jewish descent?

>>15740 If you think flags are bad you are a jeet, south american, or some other flavor of brown. Why would an American care about having their flag seen? It's that simple, funny you call me a jew lmao.

>>15730 yeah its so much fun to get a general shit up by 1 (one) shitposter samefagging, and apparently 4ch jannies couldnt even see who is who so no way to moderate properly and the only purpose ive seen for flags was for people to make retarded baitposts on pol with a memeflag or vpn

>>15740 4cuck is that way- oh wait it's gone HAHAHAHHAA

>>15730 >>1 reply >>50 replies >8 replies but talking about different things >4 replies just to avatarfag or post shipping-shit This is good, because the true truth without IDs is this: >1 reply >50 replies >80replies but talking about different things >4 replies just to avatarfag or post shipping-shit >one (1) schizo with 300 replies stirring up drama for no reason at all

>>15095 4chan is not storing browser fingerprinting, dipshit. Read the other posts before butting into a conversation.

>>15744 >If you think flags are bad you are a jeet, south american, or some other flavor of brown. flags are fine for a board like /int/, that's it, because the board is centered around international banter, Extending the meaning your retarded comment on flags, to give flags to a place like /v/ or /a/ is to turn them into /int/ lite you fucking retard, <strawman I'm just pointing out the kikeness of your comment which you wrote rather randomly, much to contrast your >>15730 >Having obsessed retards quoting each of your posts because they lost an argument doesn't make a site better. retarded strawman of a scenario taken straight out of reddit. Literally, because of once unfortunatel lurking of mine there for some warhammer lore exposed that behavior all too well. Further on your comment >Why would an American care about having their flag seen? Amerimutts are too proud to display and 80% of them are going to straight up insult others based on non-US flag, especially all European ones, not to mention blood fueds from shown on /int/ will carry over whether it's nip and gook or germ and pole. <Source? 4chan's /int/ and /pol/, especially /pol/ Funny you call me a turdworlder where turdworder's, especially a jeet's worst nightmare is ID system just after flags.

>>15440 Why don’t people just post faster :3

>>15740 You messed up your meme arrows xD

>>15652 >>15662 >>15673 >>15675 >>15679 It's ready when it's ready.

>>12640 I really dont want to go back, this place is like a 1000x better in every way except post count. Really sucks since that's the thing that actually matters most. Anyway for what it's worth I will stick around as long as there's activity here. I'm hoping 4chan stays dead for like another month or two and by then there might've been enough migration to actually get something permenent going here.

archb4k is down now too

>>12640 AND NOW I'LL NEVER TURN BACK (I'LL NEVER TURN BACK!) I'LL NEVER TURN THAT WAY NO MATTER HOW LIFE TRIES TO FACE ME I'LL TURN THE OTHER WAY NOW AND THEN (NOW AND THEN) MY HEAD STARTS TO SPIN (STARTS TO SPIN) BUT I'LL NEVER TURN BACK AGAIN (NO! NO!) FROM THIS MOMENT ON (MOMENT ON!) I AM MOVIN' ON (MOVIN' ON!) AND I'LL NEVER TURN BACK! (NO!)

>>15712 >people will legit argue with themselves for It's called "having internal monologue", and it's funny to read, kys

>>15891 schizo samefag detected

>>15673 They've been awfully secretive about site issues. A few months ago, something happened that nuked half the posts on the entire website, with some boards losing decade old reference threads, and the only reason given by the staff was, literally, "Mods being dumb." They don't trust their users and expect their users to trust them. Ridiculous.

>>12640 This shithole bans you for calling people tranny or posting wojaks.

>>16005 sounds great, what's the downside?

>>16006 "whats the downside with mass censorship and transgender mods?" reddit is that way xir.

>>16010 lol you would've never survived back when mods actually filtered buzzwords

>>15702 they just want to fit in by piling on the "le this is just like old chans now" you're. right, it wasn't close to iredeemable

>>16010 >>16005 >implying 4chan was better with it's literal tranny mods and jannies that also banned for calling out trannies randomly

>>15702 >>16020 >my board wasn't completely eaten by bots and cancer yet so 4chan should persist until it is. I don't know if you guys thought this through. Do you really want your niche boards corrupted first instead of just moving now? Why do you have faith in 4chan staff after the doxxing proved they hate you immensely?

I don't like that /v/ is just vg, why even have separate boards for them? I don't miss 4chan in the slightest I browsed it out of habit and having no life.

>>16025 >NOOOO BUT WHAT ABOUT MY CONTAINMENT BOARD who gives a fuck, /v/ was abandoned by the mods when moot was still there and /pol/ was created as a containment board. this is like complaining that a sewer smells like shit

I hated all the brown people, glowniggers, and bots on 4chan. But I liked the culture war threads. 8chan is peaceful but sometimes I want chaos.

>>16030 Are you seriously implying /v/ and /pol/ stayed on their boards? Did you miss the /qa/ incident entirely? Did you miss seeing that kinda people the mods and jannies are? What kind of revisionist history are you pushing? Why are you so confident your board would stay safe forever with such horrible people as the staff?

>>16036 you're right, mods should do their jobs and permaban people who escape containment.

>>15730 Stop being a demure, self conscious, twat.

>>15635 Eternal September never ends.

>>15883 Why is Sonic music so kino?

>>15673 the mods seem to communicate as little as possible these days. no idea why especially when rapeape apparently tweets all the time.

>>16124 It feels like the mods are part of a completely different community with a completely different culture, one that is hostile to 4chan and its community.

>>16125 moot wouldn't have let this happen

>>16125 4chan itself is a bunch of different communities which all hate each other, even within the same board. An actual coherent community outside of general threads died over a decade ago.

>>16128 Moot did allow this to happen. He allowed it to happen when he gave the site to Hiroyuki, a guy who didn't understand 4chan and seemingly had little interest in it. Hiro never engaged with the site at all, and now some random negro named rapeape and his discord circlejerk are in charge. >>16141 I really disagree. 4channers, imageboard users in general, have a very distinct culture that is very unique on the internet. They way we talk, the way we interact with one another, the shared history and feelings. There is a sort of meta-culture under all of these different communities, linking them together in a commonality. If you want to see an example of it, go to reddit or facebook and see how people interact there. It's radically different. Only (partial) exception to this is probably /pol/, which is full of transplants from reddit and twitter.

>>16156 >go into thread >it's people accusing each other of not being real 4channers and demanding that they go "back to reddit" not exactly a coherent culture

Any Vidya you guys would recommend on PC? Nothing specific, if you played something cool and want to share id appreciate it

>>16161 It's hard to describe. If you've ever met a 4channer irl you can sense it. Like you both just kind of "know" and have this unsaid connection. Know all the little injokes and stuff. >>16167 Been playing Tropico 4. It's pretty fun.

>>16167 CrossCode. I've shilled this game (for free) on 4chan, I'll shill this game (for free) on nu8chan.

>>16167 People hated it on release for a number of reasons (and 4/vm/ fags had an active schizoposter who hated it vehemently), but Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers is legitimately my #1 racing game of all time, despite being a fucking freeware Sonic fangame. It's pretty weird, though, so it takes a while to click. Also, seconding what >>16178 said. Crosscode is fantastic.

What's this about .se being deplatformed? Are shartyfags targeting this place now?

>>16928 unless the singular guy that did this to 4chan is doing it then no sharteens are as ineffective as ever

>>16932 So it's just the domain deciding to fuck this site over a mass of reports?

>>16167 Dishonored 1

>>16167 eroge games.. japanese ones obviosly

i hate the fucking banners with yotsuba in them being hurt, whole splinter sites reek of bitter faggot energy

>>16941 The admin posted something about some other platforms in sweden pressuring the one hosting the site into taking it down. I guess there's a bunch of backups.

>>12640 I'm used to slow boards because I lived on comfy /vst/ with the occassional dip into /v/ to start a dark souls 2 bait thread. People that want to discuss vidya will stay here. People, mudskins and jews that want to respond to steam chart threads and dark souls 2 threads will go back to /v/ In the end, this place wins.

>>14257 /r9k/ use to be good when it was just dudes, but then females and trannies started infesting it and changed the culture to something vile. Dudes left leaving trannies, faggots and orbiters, real sad. I miss the tiny chat days of /r9k/, I would eat raw stinging nettles for laffs with robots and do all kinds of wild shit attempting to one up another. Nowadays it's not even the same board, it's just awful. Kill it.

>>15673 The sooner you realize that cuckchan moderation is actively malicious the better It's not 'ermm teehee they can't tell! ;p' it's "god shut the fuck up retarded nigger user stop fucking asking I wish I could permaban you to make you seethe"

>>18472 >esl calling anyone else mudskins

>>18539 >esl out of nowhere Yup, you'll be going back to cuckchan to be distracted by the LLMs and ubisoft shills. You'll be there forever.

It's pretty funny the ID boards mog the no ID boards when it comes to speed.

>>12640 Leave, this place is too fucking slow, even the /b/ in this place is somehow slow even though its anything goes the board

>>18562 Only jeets and shills are afraid of IDs

I'm so damn lonely its insane, i don't do anything besides just lurking the various alt chans hoping for a somewhat interesting topic to popup. Just give back the white noise, i don't care if its all shills and bots. anything to just distract me from this crushing isolation that's eating me from within.

>>18614 I feel similar, just full of barely contained despair steering from loneliness and escapism. I would usually game and play visual novels to occupy my mind, but with my computer having issues, lately I have been feeling like total crap. I just want the old days back.

>>12640 generals are better in this website, general shitposting boards like 4/v/ are better in 4chan

>>18554 But anon, Nintendo said they're not ubisoft...

Depends entirely on 8chan's activity if 4chan does come back. If it goes down to, say, 50 PPH on /v/, I'm gone.

>>15673 Don't forget every single Hour 4chan isn't back, is practically a month on the internet as a whole. If by next week it isn't back, I guarantee 40% of the user base will have moved on.

>"del_log" >19.5 million >"banned_users" >10.7 million Those faggots were saving the deleted post history and ban history of every single user, forever. By the good will and graciousness of the leaker, he did not leak that data. I wonder if he forked it though before he lost access.

>>12640 there isnt enough porn

>>18614 >>18679 >Just give back the white noise So you are aware you were hooked up in a dopamine (you) treadmill and prefer go back to it instead of taking the chance to kick the habit? But why?

>>18878 are you asking why people don't want to return to what they were escaping from? the dopamine machine was not the real issue

>>18920 There are better ways to cope than endlessly browsing imageboards for bot replies.Like videogames

Bots are fake and gay. I refuse to believe your faggotery.

>>18878 See you on 4chan, bro.

>4chan was 90% bots 8tards keep screeching this absurd lie.

>Rapeape just added java tutorial videos to his youtube playlist Kekarooo

>>15482 >bots you never grow tired of this narrative stay mad

>>18933 It's pretty obvious it's not a lie at this point

>>18933 no you see, the slow website with multiple banned countries that sometimes takes 5 minutes for a post to go through not absorbing more of the userbase means they were bots

>>18939 https://eylenburg.github.io/altchans.htm

>>18939 What a useful goy you are.

>>18939 >As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell him nothing, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures ... he will refuse to believe it ... That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization. Accept the truth and kys.

>>18947 >>18949 the majority of people posting on 4chan only MAYBE knew of 8chan and the sharty, this is not proof of bots. humans astroturfing or just being actually retarded is far more likely.

>>18949 Ah yes, because everyone who posted on 4chan must have moved to an altchan website. Retarded and delusional.

>>18953 So they went back to >>>/reddit/ Same difference as bots, actual NPCs

>>18936 >https://youtube.com/@PartapDavis/playlists >actually real 4cuck head jannie doesn't even know how to code Java. The site gonna be a buggy mess if it ever comes back at this point

>>18959 or twitter or some discord yeah, all I'm saying is you guys are giving internet posters too much credit

>>18959 >goal post moving Kill yourself, you dumb niggerfaggot.

>>18939 >They all went to X and reddit, sites that are notoriously botted themselves and that have shown no spike in traffic since 4chan's demise. Where else did 90% of the userbase go then, Neo? To youtube, owned by Google, one of the biggest investors in AI? (((Facebook))) ? It's time to take the red pill anon. I understand the pain of your loss and the shock of reality stings, but you're naivety and optimism won't serve you well during the war with the machines. Better to die free than to die an algorithmic slave.

>>18969 oh sure maybe one day it might get to that point but as of now i'd argue the bot believers are the optimists, reality is often times more mundanely terrible. it doesn't even have bullet time

Yep in the modern age of bot spam every other website was suspectable to it except 4chan everyone knows this come on guys

>>18959 Among other sites, I'd say over 50% were from other websites. Retards just can't accept 4chan was humans making bad posts.

>>18976 Making the same bbc, kike, pajeet posts everyday dang they must have been getting paid to do that

>>18978 Nigger, interracial was one of the most popular boards here a week ago.

>>18978 Nah, people are just like that.

>>18985 hell people too dumb to code a bot just have text files with the shit they copypasta. then you have extreme cases like Barry who genuinely exist in a time loop. wonder where that lad went

>slower activity >website is still overloaded Yea I'm going back.

>>13186 But I enjoyed going OHNONONONO with a gaggle of retards like a bunch of monkeys. Unironically

>>18939 uh oh this post really riled up the 8troons

>>19006 Why you don't do it here?

>>13186 >>14533 >. But sure, it's just shitposting, you're just pretending to be a retard. For fun. Yeah Why else would you shitpost

>>19015 Not enough retards to make an appropriately sized gaggle.

>>18933 They were bots not in an automated sense, but in a retarded hivemind sense.

>>18878 I'm a bit better now, took some meds and am feeling less anxious. In my state now, I would say no, I wouldn't return, provided 8chan doesn't slows to a halt the moment 4chan comes back.
