They probably just disabled the option to upload .PDF's and called it a day. Hopefully they get hacked again, it'd be funny.

>>23672 (OP) I’m hacking 4chan rn actually

>>23676 >They probably just disabled the option to upload .PDF's and called it a day. This. If they were lazy enough to keep using decades old PHP code, they're likely lazy enough to not even bother patching the exploit.

>supposedly have backdoor access to 4chan for at least a year >while they doxxed staff and dumped code, they could have given us a massive guide tour of the behind the scenes and posted a ton more screenshots >most importantly, they could have undone 10 million bans by nuking all of them before playing around with the site like a much of kids In the end the doxx and dumping of code did nothing in the long term, they came back in just under ten days, with no improvements to the site at all, and even worse moderation. They could have actually done something positive and unblocked every ban there ever was. Or get rid of all the word filters and limitations. Upped the size limits on a few boards, etc. Yeah I guess it was kind of cool to see the behind the scenes of it all, perhaps put a face to the some mods, but in the end 4chan came back, everyone came back to it, and it's business as usual.

>>23681 nothing ever happens

>>23681 What a waste to not delete every thread in lgtb except for a pinned thread with the YWNBAW copyasta. Specially since it was the sharty the ones to hack

They were still using mysql_*, a function which has been deprecated since 2013 and was completely removed from PHP in 2015. Rewriting a PHP backend that was still using mysql_* to something modern would take time even for a large company, let alone a couple of unpaid jannies.

>>23681 They could have just restored a backup of the site in that case.

>>23685 >since it was the sharty the ones to hack The hacker posted anime, which is anathema to those amygdala damaged-retards. Plus those sharty imbeciles wouldn't find their way out of a paper bag. He just pinned blame on those clowns.

>>23688 They keep a backup of 20 years of perma bans? Well, guess that plan was shit out of luck, then.

>>23693 Well, I'd assume so. That would be a competent thing to do. So they probably don't, but it's likely that their hosting platform is competent and regularly makes automatic backups for them to restore. >20 years of perma bans Can't imagine it takes up much memory.

>>23685 The hacker was a tranny that pinned the blame on the sharty sharty being retarded gaslit themselves into thinking they did the hack

>>23676 They got a Vulnerability Disclosure Program https://4chan.org/security so you can report bugs for the high reward of a 4chan pass. The thanks list is already quite long. They also deleted the flash board. Cloudflare also has some protections against SQL injection and such. I remember trying to post a code snippet on /g/ and it got blocked. I wouldn't count on it getting hacked again, since they got an army of battered wife syndrome autists checking their security for them. But I still hope they get taken down again. They have reddit tier moderation these days.

>>23676 Hey! Give them some credit! They also just disabled the option to upload .swf files, they worked so hard to improve the website!

When I used my going into 4chan machine I raped all of its holes

>>23672 (OP) 2 more weeks

>>23676 They also disabled the /f/ flash board

>>23929 Imagine finding vulnerabilities and sucking up to them for a fucking 4chan pass. >battered wife syndrome >I love him! He'll change! No, he won't.

The fact that it came back within the same month sucks, it should’ve stayed down for at least a month or more. This is coming from a former refugee who appreciates how chill it is here, sometimes it can get too hectic on 4chn, also 8chan is based for multiple uploads in a single reply, no tedious captchas, audio uploads, etc.

4/v/ and 4vg seem to have lost a third of their traffic. 4chan overall seems to have lost a fourth of its traffic. Thoughts?

>>23975 I want to find your vulnerabilities…

>>24112 Damn, I was expecting a drop but not that deep. I'm sure it's a mix of facts. Some decided to leave 4/v/ for good, others might still be on the fence, perhaps waiting to see if anything weird happens before going back and the rest most likely didn't like the fact that jannies became more trigger-happy with the bans so they just left. Whatever the case is hopefully we see more traffic around here, personally I don't mind the slow pace but wouldn't mind more frens either.

>>24112 https://wiki.bibanon.org/4chan/History >4stats data indicates that traffic on 4chan has dropped between 20-25% from before the hack. I noticed this right away on several boards, when listing things by date created and how new threads were barely getting any replies. >>23099 (Cross-thread) >>23110 (Cross-thread) Maybe it's too early to tell the damage. Maybe in another week things will be back to normal? It's possible small portion of users went to alt chans and stayed there. If 4chan keeps getting hacked and taken down for days offline, perhaps it would improve somewhat, less posters, less shitposting spam. Are the vertical numbers monthy visitors? It's below 600,000 now? Or is that daily? Not good for Hiro (his own fault though)

>>24120 I'm on the fence myself. I checked out 4/v/ when it reopened on Friday but it felt even more like it was on duct-tape and glue than before the hack. Image posting was broken, captchas wouldn't load, refreshes would give an error a good 25% of the time. Really felt like they half-assed the re-opening to get it done quick. >personally I don't mind the slow pace I feel the same. 4/v/ threads felt more like a chat room than a forum thread with how fast they were. Here on fullchan, you can make a post, go play some vidya, cook a meal, or do something else, and come back in an hour without having to worry about the thread getting pruned or hitting bump limit. t. rapefugee

>>24112 Not into the whole /vt/ world but its a very busy board and also took a massive hit. It was down when that shark vtuber announced she was retiring on May 1st, likely would have seen a massive spike. I wonder if 4chan was like "we gotta get this shit back online before May 1", because muh ad revenue from visitors concerning her retirement.

Who runs 4stats anyway? Someone should tell him to remove /qa/ and /qb/.

>>24125 My screenshots are from https://4stats.io/, posts per day >Maybe it's too early to tell the damage. I'm wondering that myself as well

>>24131 >Image posting was broken, captchas wouldn't load, refreshes would give an error a good 25% of the time. Is that still the case? I haven't seen anyone complain about it after the first few hours

>>24140 Haven't checked since Friday, I wouldn't know.

>>24131 What annoys me the most is the broken UI, the board header doesn't follow you anymore and everything is super small and nobody seems to have a problem with this for some reason

>>23672 (OP) They posted on the blog for the first time in years saying they mostly did just that, dealt with the .pdf exploit, removed /f/ because .swfs shared the same injection vulnerabilities, and took on several coding volunteers to "keep things updated" after moving servers from moots old toasters. Presumably BSD and the rest of the software is all updated and Desuwa isn't coding everything on his own anymore, but if they're just unpaid volunteers you can bet the shits getting outdated in 6 months anyway.

>>24146 What do you mean?

>>24150 >you can bet the shits getting outdated in 6 months anyway. What makes you think that?

>>24152 maybe I'm hallucinating the first one I don't remember it exactly as before but everything else is definitely much smaller than it was before. It seems unchanged on mobile though

>>24153 If gookmoot doesn't have a developer or sysadmin on retainer to maintain the server infrastructure, you can bet your ass he'll leave it to rot without updates again. Say what you want about jannies but no self-respecting IT admin will do that kind of grunt work for free.

>>24155 Ok but this exploit was known for like 7 years and no one did anything with it until this month, even if there are other exploits why do you think anything is going to happen soon? Do you think this leak will encourage more or something?

>>24153 They're volunteer "developers" that were brought on to blitz the problems that led to the hack. They had time over 2 weeks to do things. For programmers and coders, free time to upkeep a website without being paid is the first thing to go when they actually have something important to take care of or their own projects, they won't be on standby for years to come. Jannies are already a high turnover and their skills aren't valuable anywhere else. Programmers and system administrators have better ways to spend their time.

>>24156 Cybersecurity is a constant game of cat and mouse. Even if the server stack gets updated now, some sharty copycat could come around in a year and try again with a more recent exploit. Maybe not now but there's a decent number of schizos who have a bone to pick with halfchan.

About a third of the activity of my general on 4chan consists of a samefag spammer. Another third is Twitter users. And the last third is legitimate activity. I only care about my general lately, so I'm considering going there just to tell that last third to come here to avoid all that garbage (we have some good activity here as well, but I wish there was more), but at the same time if the post counts have lowered significantly following the hack I don't want to boost them by posting myself

>>24158 Yeah sure but no one bothered for years Also I wonder if they're planning to go after the hacker legally

>>24159 The time some of the generals I used spent here on boards with IDs honestly showed their true pace and how most of them were just filled with a handful schizos or ritual posters shitting them up

>>24160 They literally cant even pay anyone to regularly maintain their shit site, they rely wholly on ad-revenue and you think they can muster up any funds to pursue the hacker?

>>24161 XIV threads on 4/v/ and 4vg are all like that, a handful of anons being surrounded by a shitload of samefagging about specific players or whatever the current drama surround the game is.

>>24160 I just think it will be outdated and start falling behind again in 6 months, not that it will necessarily be hacked again by then. But now an even bigger target is definitely on the websites back and it's more widely known than ever that their resources for upkeep are pitiful.

>>24161 I know genuine discussion is coming from the Twittertards as well unfortunately. When 4chan came back a bunch of people were talking about how much they hated being "forced" to spend their time on Twitter or Reddit. We were wondering where people went instead of imageboards, well that's the answer

>>24163 Supposedly Hiro has money though, that's the weirdest part of all of this, it feels like he's not in charge of the site at all

>>24170 I've always hated Twitter. Hated it before the Tumblr purge, hated it more after, and hated it even more when Elon bought it. Recently there's been a feedback loop of people posting Twitter screenshots on 4chan and 4chan screenshots on Twitter, creating this digital ouroboros of low effort engagement bait.

>>24171 Because he isn't. RapeApe is in charge of the site. Hiro just pays the bills for some reason but not much beyond that at as far as I can tell.

>>24171 It's always been clear he had zero interest in the site, it's why the moderators were able to make him into a liar by completely disregarding the "one meta discussion thread per board" rule. Someone claiming to be a former jannie said he's only poked his head in to talk with the team like twice. I'd believe it. He's very active online on nico etc. He interacts with the 2ch community. He speaks English, but only showed up when he bought the site and might respond on twitter once in a blue moon. 4chan is just a billboard for him.

>>24176 Yeah, the hack seriously made it apparent.

>>24178 >He interacts with the 2ch community. I thought they hated him and wanted nothing to do with him anymore.

>>24181 Yeah I don't know why I framed it that way and not just "the types of jp anons that show up to his drunk streams"

If you look up RapeApe, the first thing you find is this https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-man-who-helped-turn-4chan-into-the-internets-racist-engine/ But people keep complaining about getting banned from 4chan for breaking the "no racism outside of /b/" rule Which one is it? Is the 4chan administration trying to make its users more racist or are they trying to stop people from saying nigger?

>>24183 >do i believe the anons getting banned, or a journalist?

>>24184 I believe the bans and I'm not defending him or the janitors at all, but I will take a wild guess and say RapeApe isn't a transgender communist banning anyone who offends his race >“RapeApe has an agenda: he wants /pol/ to have influence on the rest of the site and [its] politics,” a current janitor said. This sounds believable, it would explain why the entire site has been filled with off topic /pol/ talk since 2016 while none of the moderation team does anything to stop it

>>24112 >Thoughts? i can't believe bans are still public, and wouldn't surprise me if they hide it Other than that, knew it, people don't realise websites are all about momentum. I actually applaud them for getting it online as buggy and unsafe as it is, wait another week and it was going to be a bigger decrease in activity. They did it to get the advertisers money flowing obviously, but was the right choice anyway.

>>24192 Only some bans are public, they choose what to show as an example of posts they don't want. That's how it's been since forever I was hoping for it to stay offline another week

>>24185 If his twitter is anything to go by its plausible

>>24193 >they choose what to show i didn't knew that, fuck that's even more retarded.

>>24051 4chan cucked 8chan by coming back way earlier than everyone thought things would be perhaps drastically different if it stayed down for 3 weeks, maybe even 4

>>24183 Culture of 4chan is currently downstream from RapeApe viewpoint or understanding, not the idle hands Gookmoot.

>>23929 It's not even been a week and the thanks page already has several names on it. Doesn't this sort of prove they threw the site back online as fast as possible, and it still has vulnerabilities? Seems like two to three weeks would have been reasonable to get the site back up, considering what happened - that's what they said, and instead it came back faster than stated. Better hope those names don't lead to anything else, lest the Sharty/Kiwi doxxers start finding the people who are helping 4chan stay online. And really who the fuck would want to help them after it was clear that a decade after moot, no one gave a shit? Not about the site code, not about the quality of the site (features), not about the mods and jannies in how they acted towards people. NO. ONE. CARED. About the quality of the site slipping - and these bootlickers wanna help them. Also them removing the Feedback page is a massive fuck you to their audience. They treated everyone like shit, and now you don't get to have a voice at all. I don't know it's temporary, but if not, fuck them. >>24178 I forget the post I saw, but someone gave a time frame of when the last time Hiro posted on 4chan and the last time he did something else (which I don't remember), but one of the numbers was something like six years. >>24181 When I went to Futuba Channel after the hack, I looked at a couple threads via Google translate. There were likely alot more that took place as I slept due to time difference, and they don't have searchable long term post archives like 4chan, but I did see many posts giving Hiro shit and people recollecting their time to when he fucked over 2ch. >>24183 >of an anonymous administrator who used moderation enforcement, or lack thereof, to allow the influential website to become a crucial arm of the far-right. >Relatively little is known about him, even by the janitors who spoke with us and worked for him, although he has been supervising 4chan’s day-to-day operations for around a decade. Haha, no so anonymous anymore! I remember reading that article a few years ago. Who knew a few years later we'd find out his real name and face. >“[RapeApe] basically fulfills the role of an administrator considering Hiroyuki [Nishimura], the actual admin, doesn’t touch the site,” a current janitor told me. Poole and Nishimura did not respond to repeated requests for comment. RapeApe responded by sending an email that contained only a single link to a video of naked muscular men dancing. Doesn't touch the site? Yup, that sure turned out to be true. >Gamergate has overstayed its welcome. It is starting to cause a massive burden for moderation.” Maybe you people shouldn't have tried to silence it in the first place. That's why it blew up as big as it did. >RapeApe claims to be a military veteran who served in Afghanistan as well as a voracious reader, interested in video games, guns, and Warhammer: 40,000. He often complained about his family impeding his work and was afraid they would walk in on him looking at questionable or pornographic posts as he was moderating. Afghanistan? Veteran? I thought he was Canadian. >According to the janitor and chat logs (as well as a deleted Twitter account two staff members confirmed was his), RapeApe is also politically conservative and racist. One former janitor described him as “a typical right winger and /pol/ dude.” His Twitter account featured him responding approvingly to Tucker Carlson clips, urging another user to buy an AR-15 rifle for self-defense, wondering whether the state would force people to be homosexual and suggesting that Twitter was “staffed by leftists” who were deleting conservative users’ accounts. In conversations with other janitors in the leaked chats, he found humor in horrifying news about riots, shootings, and the Ebola epidemic—especially when that news involved Black people dying. What happened to just liking anime? >But RapeApe isn’t just a typical /pol/ user who happens to run the site. According to three current and former staff members, RapeApe shaped 4chan into a reflection of his own political beliefs. “RapeApe has an agenda: he wants /pol/ to have influence on the rest of the site and [its] politics,” a current janitor said. Oh so that's why the site sucks now? And did ten years ago. Riiiiight....

>>24174 >digital ouroboros good descripting

>>24236 >and the thanks page already has several names on it So you guys were wrong and people are willing to fix their security for free lol

>>24161 >everyone suspects that it's literally one schizo shitting everything up >thread IDs reveal that it was, in fact, literally one schizo shitting everything up Why is this so common?

>>24236 >What happened to just liking anime? I've been wondering for a decade.

>>24256 Coming here revealed (confirmed) it was happening in multiple boards and generals, and even more than I suspected.

>>24183 4chan is highly left-leaning. Their April Fool's joke this year was them "subtly" complaining about DOGE by essentially letting us relive 1 day of back when 4chan was actually good. You get banned all the time for any sort of racism. I've been banned for calling a gacha game "jewish", I've been warned for saying "brown" in a positive light, and I've been banned for saying "nigger". Honestly, it's to the point now where when I see someone shitposting, I hope to god that they say something that is even mildly racist, because that's the only thing I can possibly report them for that might actually get them banned.

>>24259 This can also be supported by some janitors using .edu email addresses. But I'm curious to see how you address the apparent RapeApe discrepancy and how the site has been filled with almost nothing but off topic right wing talk on all boards for a decade.

>>24263 >how the site has been filled with almost nothing but off topic right wing talk on all boards for a decade. You get shadowbanned for saying tranny, anon. You get banned for saying "tranny janny". You get banned for anything related to trannies. Any thread on /v/ that is created about those "girl gamer" events where the group pic is all trannies gets killed on sight. Trannies and brownies are protected classes on 4chan. This is not right-wing ideology.

>>24264 >You get shadowbanned for saying tranny Proof? I suppose if you say that and it doesn't appear in 4chan archives, then it means your post wasn't made public and you're shadowbanned. Is there any evidence of this? If I start posting there again I'll try to throw the word around to experiment. >You get banned for saying "tranny janny" Because that falls under the "don't criticize the moderation team or the website" rule >You get banned for anything related to trannies I wish

>>23929 >>24236 The thanks list was there even prior to the hack. Pass for vulnerability reports isn't new either. I hate how people assume something is new just because they never clicked anything on the homepage before.

>>24265 >he pretends not to know I wish you luck, anon!

>>24267 I clicked stuff around the home page several times before but I never saw that page or the bounty shit. Do you have a pre-hack archived version? >>24268 I'm not pretending anything, if you know more than me then please show me

>>24269 No. Despite the cooperation with board archives, the website itself disallows itself from regular website archives in their robot.txt.

>>24257 usually the midwits who realised anno is a hack and there is nothing deep to rei having an orgasm try to compensate their lost teen years by pretending to read (and to get) "high" literature like... political shit or philosophy. This also works as the ultimate appeal to authority, if you disagree with them then you are also daring to contradict X historical figures (even if they contradict each other).

>>24254 no one said they didnt get volunteers to fix their shit just that its a strategy they wont keep up they've offered passes for exploit reports for a long time. thats reports, not fixes. fixes still had to be directed and done by "4chan staff" not the script kiddie that emailed them saying they found something. in all that time guess what? neither the pdf exploit or outdated freebsd was ever mentioned to them that way, OR IF IT WAS, it was noted by staff but just ignored and left unresolved even with the public posts 10 years ago referencing the pdf exploit they didn't decide to get anyone to fix it for free or otherwise they clearly operate on a premise that if no one is attacking a vulnerability at that moment, it isn't a priority...for years... after this blows over the volunteers will disappear and quit and the team leader will get lazy again and not seek replacements out or think about it until something major happens again its just the nature of running an amateur and large team on no funding. coordination and up keep. it takes time away from rapeapes gay little janny army military larp in irc/discord to actually worry about technical problems until someone forces him to, like sharttranny

>>24272 archive.is isn't affected by that though

>>24279 kek >>24284 Fair

>>24279 Your post sounds like you're just making shit up. I can't even imagine a single person that is actually how you describe, and I hope they don't actually exist

>>24300 Well, I didn't manually snapshot any but they have a search. https://archive.is/XA35s The earliest one they have 2020 but even that feels too recent.

>>24305 Thanks

>>23929 >find vulnerabilities for FUCKING PASSES AHAHAHAHA this has to be a joke >we do not offer a cash reward what the fuck lol

>>24259 >>24263 >>24264 4chan is not supposed to be any sort of political leaning, it's suppose to be a site to just talk about anything, primarily ANIME and WEEBSHIT. The reason why the site is the way it is because RapeApe and his full-time mod team are grifters of the highest order. /pol/ was allowed to run rampant because he was using them to help grift to keep his job as the only mod who knows how to deal with them, he's using them to grift off being the one "maintain" a free speech platform and internet legacy as long as 4chan, and he's grifting the left now by enforcing these changes and finally cleaning the place up when this is some shit he should have did well before /pol/ went rampant 10 years ago. There is no agenda being pushed, there is no "left-wing 4chan" or "right-wing 4chan", there is only a grifter grifting as he holds a well known and extremely popular website hostage, and you can thank those worthless hackers who embolden them to do even more grifting. Me personally i'm still of the belief the whole hack was a larp and the Mod team used it to consolidate even more power on the site. How the fuck else would you explain getting access to literally the entire back end of the whole place, comms and everything and then you go and leak absolutely nothing value?

>>24264 With the entire source code of the website leaked and the access to the moderation dashboard, I don't think anything about shadowbanning was found. Why would that be the one feature they hide if it was a controlled leak? Disappeared posts probably really are just a result of duct taped 2008 software, not getting engagement from the bots, and our bait not being taken.

>>23672 (OP) Yeah I don't believe they did anything. They just ran OS updates and disabled .PDF/.swf uploads. >>23681 >>24324 I believe that one anon who said it was a psyop to get 4chan users on the sharty, but it didn't work. Now they are advertising the sharty everywhere on 4chan. >>23685 >>23692 >>23702 Sharty users are groomer trannies backed by the federal government. The "we hate anime we hate loli we hate trannies" is the same thing child rapists do by making their charity contributions very public. >>24259 I was banned for making fun of Indians on /v/ and it's funny the hack confirmed /v/s mods are Indian.

>>24324 Now that's a much more sensible take. I think you're on to something. >you can thank those worthless hackers who embolden them to do even more grifting How? >How the fuck else would you explain getting access to literally the entire back end of the whole place, comms and everything and then you go and leak absolutely nothing value? Define "value" in this scenario Getting access to servers like that happens more often than you'd think, especially as of late people seem to be making this type of leak into almost a sport, I think it's concerning because it might get dangerous if it keeps going Also 4chan seems to have lost a fourth of its traffic following the hack

>>24347 >Define "value" in this scenario When one does a hack like this and doxx it's entire staff, the common sense thing would be to doxx and leak literally every from the top down, from this leak we didn't get shit, just info confirming everything we already knew and suspected. the one thing new that we did get is that somehow RapeApe has full control of the website and Hiro's is so far detached from it his name might as well not be on there. You'd thing messages between the two big names of 4chan would have been thoroughly searched for upon this revelation, but it's just crickets. This makes no sense. With all the scandals and fiasco's 4chan's been in the past dacade, with the feds up that site's ass, and with 4chan loosing investment partnerships because of all this, you mean to tell me Hiro, the person who supposedly in this just to make money, HASN'T been lighting these fuckers up in DMs and E-mails over all the money he's being fucked out of thanks to bad publicity? There's just no reference to any of that at all? We are suppose to honestly believe that?.

>>24347 i think he's talking about the way the janny/moderator team is working overtime right now to enforce rules. the hack definitely made them take the job more seriously, and its probably all in effort to stop users from egging eachother on in their hate for the jannies and that possibly leading to offsite gathering, hacks, raids, or just general organized shitposting in protest of the jannies. them getting doxxed and seeing everyone shittalking them and the way theyve run the site for the past decade definitely emboldened them to treat users even worse, which is where the increase in bans and enforcement of previously ignored rules comes in (flame wars, off topic) innocuous posts that would have been let to slide 2 months ago almost instantly deleted. asking if theres a board where you can ask questions and get answers, posting with the miku gif, replying normally but adding nigger at the end. people are already apparently forgetting you used to be able to say shit like "of course jannies won't delete this thread" or "the mods on /other board/ banned me for posting sneed" without a 3 day vacation now

>>23935 how tf could they get hacked by a .swf file? It runs through ruffle so it should be secure if they do things correctly.

>>24351 Didn't /f/ still run them natively?

>>24349 RapeApe's or Hiro's email wasn't breached. Neither were their messenger accounts. Where would messages come from? It's the websites source, they can't magically get to things that aren't stored on the websites servers. The chatlogs are all old public IRC screenshots, previous IRC or Discord leaks, or the /j/ board. The most that was even accessible was SEEING the staff emails on the internal staff user directory, and the hacker getting access to Hiro's admin account/trip. It doesn't mean he suddenly has access to emails or his moms bank information and dental records wtf.

>>24350 >i think he's talking about the way the janny/moderator team is working overtime right now to enforce rules. All that has really changed is that they are trigger happy on banning for racism, but that's because apparently the new jannies are all jeets

>>24354 >The chatlogs are all old public IRC screenshots, previous IRC or Discord leaks, or the /j/ board And you mean to tell me that in the 10 years of these old as longs, there was just absolutely nothing regarding Hiro trying to get in contact with his mod team to grasp what the fuck are they doing and why the fuck does he keep getting calls from the US government over shit that happened on the website? This is what i mean when i say nothing of value was leaked pertaining to those two in particular. Even if hiro is smart enough to set up a chat room or way of contact with them outside of all this, there should and would still be tidbits from everyone bitching about the situation and talking about Hiro's requests and how they should proceed in the discord and /j/ board. That's is nothing from those either makes literally no sense naturally, I would even go as far as to say those logs were cleaned up and made presentable for this "leak"

>>24355 i wish, dude, but the other reasons i mentioned are much more heavy handed than before too its all around not just racism. "attacking users" is frequent as well when that used to be any sort of thread. by virtue of the volume of bans, they're actually enforcing some good shit that could get discussion back on track and was sorely needed in the past but they're also now banning almost anyone that doesnt have the most neutral tone and take and sfw image possible. at least up to 2 days ago, i havent been there in 2 days but it looked like the DDay landing

>>24356 You're jumping around too much now. It was about what should have been in this hack to be of value, and you wanted things that would not have been included in this type of hack at all (chat logs, emails, from a site source code. Private correspondence from a "doxx" that amounted to seeing the email addresses of people, not getting their passwords...see what I mean?). What calls from the government? What requests from Hiro? Now you're making up situations for them to talk about that you're disappointed weren't in leaks of public discussion channels. You're pulling schizo conspiracy theory shit. >Hey a janitor leaked this chatlog from a janitor level channel where they talk about gooning, news and what they ate that morning in 2018 <WHERE'S HIRO'S CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE FBI IT DOESNT ADD UP Shit nigger you're on your own. No one will ever produce anything valuable to you. You're our only hope now.

>>23929 >Rewards: Recognition and a 4chan Pass >No cash reward Honorary jannies

>>24051 I'm 100% sure they didn't even patch up all their outdated codes. >>24051 >The fact that it came back within the same month sucks, it should’ve stayed down for at least a month or more. They would have lost even more users. It was a desperate move to retain most of their userbase. They're especially making sure to bring it right in time for relapse.

I think it's pretty obvious moot "owns" the site for legal reasons but was forced by feds to sell out when he got the google job. There's no way he is completely ignorant of the sites state, he just doesn't care because feds are in control of it, not him.

>>24371 part of that theory works with the one that he never actually worked for google, his name not being on any projects and his work station being empty with no reporters ever able to track him down for stories and the feds just puppeted him behind the scenes with a japan vacation and pic every several years

>>24373 It's gotta be funny imagining glowniggers treating 4chan as some kind of super terrorist nest hub and 80% of the posts are just dumb retarded posts and people jacking it to anime titties with the remaining 20% being they themselves posting interracial cuck and tranny porn with some glowing posts included

>>24374 I'm pretty sure the intent was to us a sight like 4chan, because of it's ability to be used anonymously, as justification to drum up more and more stricter internet laws, by first using it to create the crisises that would call for it. problem is that 4chan is not a hivemind and people so they can't be used as some kind of organized terrorist website in the long run when they have site users, frequent ones too, actually shitting and attacking the site. There's not enough conformity for the narrative to stick.

>>24373 Pretty easy gig. Just get to relax. Him not maintaining the site was his attempt at leaving.

>>24373 >part of that theory works with the one that he never actually worked for google, his name not being on any projects and his work station being empty with no reporters ever able to track him down for stories and the feds just puppeted him behind the scenes with a japan vacation and pic every several years Watch Silicon Valley if you haven't

>tried to make a first post in 4chin after it was back >120s timer to post Are they fucking real?

They're not only losing traffic from "getting back" at anyone talking about the hack but are just begging to be hacked again in the first place. Lets face it, none of the staff know shit about coding, Danjeet Durkbar working 16 hours a day at Bioware knows more than they do.

>>23929 >We do not currently offer a cash reward. Laughable. >But I still hope they get taken down again. They have reddit tier moderation these days. Same. On one hand I hate using the website because 90% of the posters are just bots, trolls, edgy Redditors or coomposters that only go there because they can't post half the shit they want to post on Reddit or X without getting banned in minutes. On the other, it's the only place where I can find more than a handful of people to converse with about my niche tastes and hobbies without worrying about getting banned or getting a bunch of faggots to spam all my posts calling me some sort of Leftist buzzword just because I sometimes say faggot and nigger whenever I think it's applicable.

>>24352 "native" flash is literally just serving a SWF file to the client and letting them do whatever. It poses about as much threat to the server as a JPG file.

>>24226 holy shit that explains so much

>>24236 >they don't have searchable long term post archives like 4chan ftbucket?

>/p/ still processes EXIF data hope they updated or replaced that ancient library that was reported as vulnerable years ago

>>24146 >nobody seems to have a problem with this for some reason Because why would shills and spammers give a shit about their favorite cesspool?

>>23972 This is pretty much proof that those are the only measures they took

>>23672 (OP) Hopefully soon. I kinda want the site to die for good. This place is better and honestly like half the altchans have more functionality than 4chan plus no poor administrative decisions.

>>24051 Honestly kinda glad wapeach doesn't exist You shouldn't have a dark version of every character

>>24112 Thats good but its not enough. Most those people are probably just taking a break thinking the site is still down, not moving onto here or somewhere else.

>>24120 Since this site lets you create boards more users is always better. If regular /v/ gets shitup you just make hardcore /v/ or like we have /vb/ for shitposting and regular /v/.

>>24159 At this point I'm wondering if I should just get on twitter. Seems like where people go to talk if they actually enjoy video games. Not really sure how discussions work though.

>>24161 why do you think they removed the ip counter? Most generals only had like 10 active people and maybe 20 or so who only made a single post

>>24183 hasn't vice as an entity been completely debunked?

>>24265 >Proof? in the pudding.

>>24324 bro both 4chan and anime are inherently right wing quit being deluded

>>24823 I've used Twitter for many years, and let me tell you, it is basically just modern 4chan with profile pictures and post histories. In terms of the quality of the discussions, they're on par. You get the exact same petty bickering and arguments, and "the discourse" on both websites is interchangeable. This is because there's a big overlap between the two site's user base. The right-wing Twitter users use 4chan as their second website, and the left-wing Twitter users use Reddit as their backup website. It's why half the threads on 4chan have a Twitter screenshot in their OP. I find it funny to see people still treating 4chan as this super scary dark web neo-nazi hacker forum when Twitter isn't much different.

I'm getting right sick of Cloudflare. https://www.techradar.com/pro/cloudflare-admits-security-tool-is-blocking-some-challenger-browsers https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/04/cloudflare_blocking_niche_browsers/ I run an older OS and older browser, Mypal, that uses an old Firefox ESR as its base. A few months ago, Cloudflare starting hanging on the captcha on 4chan. In fact, it hangs on any site that uses it, such as when you visit a page and you need to verify you are not a robot first - something more and more websites are doing. So when I visit these pages, if I don't backspace or X out of the page soon enough, the browser hangs. I don't know exactly what its hanging on, but it lasts anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes, and the browser becomes half crippled, my CPU usage stuck at around 25% usage when this happens. It eventually goes back to normal. Because of this, I use another browser that is Chrome based for older operating systems, called Supermium. I don't like it but its the only thing that works with these fucking sites that use Cloudflare. Ontop of that, when using 4chan I get these checkpoints where it randomly has to check things. I don't have to click anything, but again, my Firefox based browser will hang if I don't backspace or exit out fast enough. When I open a new tab again, I can access the site as usual. These checkpoints were about ocne a week, maybe once every two weeks pre-hack. Pos-hack I seem to be getting them every second day. Today I am having extra problems, now stating my browser is outdated. I keep trying to load a blue board, then a red board, and I kept getting blocked, as usual when I saw the message and quickly exited out of the tab so it wouldn't hang again. Several times this happened it would not let me access 4chan. As typing this, I tried again, and the page loaded normally. First pic is from late March, second is from just now. It's so nice that 8chan doesn't use this site. 4chan and several other imageboards use Cloudflare and it fucking sucks. 4chan also has a second image based captcha now called h-captcha, its what you now use when you wanna see if you are banned are not, and you also need to use it once to post on 4chan and then it switches to the other type of captcha. Dunno if that's also Cloudflare but it also sucks.

Why are you surprised at everything being so half-assed

So what's the answer to the OP's question?

>>28029 Quite awhile it seems.

>>28033 I doubt anyone is even trying to exploit it right now

>>24990 >until hiro fucks off forever >2015 kek

>>28029 >>28034 My bet is sharties are trying to strung up a competent script kiddie when the summer hits since that's when the traffic on 4cuck will be the highest. Excuse me for not being sufficiently tech literate but I suppose even the mighty formidable force of battered housewife syndrome autist won't be able to patch out the site which source code's was leaked and mod team is hellbent on doing nothing about it. And when the actual sharties really hack the site now I am expecting the worst. Since the hack I only browse 4chan through the archives I refuse to even IP log by simply visitting the site without protection (at the very least I expect the use of virtual machine to mandatory)

>>28049 I think the main thing that would worry me if they hack the site again is if they're going to leak user information, since 4chan apparently datamines its users and saved our post histories across devices and IPs. Even if I stop going there, the damage is already done on that front, if a hacker gets in they can leak all user information. It probably wouldn't be too big of a deal, but it would be annoying. I suppose they could also infect the site and use some browser exploits to hack our computers, but that would rely on our own software not being up to date or them having access to undisclosed exploits (which is still possible of course)

>>28059 Not much a problem for me with past IP logs since it changes everyday for me by always switching the router off for sleep. Personally I haven't checked the site since it went down in hopes at least the logs of every IP visit the site maybe perished as it's least important compared to the banlist and other more data-mining things. For the next possible hack, lurking info from tech literate anons no one fucking acknowledges how nice the hacker was and how much of an /ourguy/ he was. When a shart will hack a site he hates everything about including the entire userbase apparently even the most mediocre script kiddie can inject worst possible kind of malware for any user clicking anything on the site when the hack would happen.

>>28061 >Not much a problem for me with past IP logs since it changes everyday for me by always switching the router off for sleep. The IPs you get are always in the same general area, and from the leaked screenshots 4chan logs device information alongside your IP, at least when it comes to ban logs. So they seemingly store device + IP, not just IP >how nice the hacker was I'm still surprised

I'm trying to not go back, but there's so much that I can't get here. /gywb/ is basically dead here.

4cuck lost 8cuck lost pedos lost tranime lost /qa/ won

>>28061fag here, update that I am a fucking moron who accidentally entered the site for a second because of sheer fucking syndrome despite being clean since the hack happened. From what I lurked tech literates said they can't do much with it but I'd like someone tech literate to expand on dangers about data of IP address + device used being leaked.

>>28179 You could use some browser plugin to block the domain entirely if you want

Gachaniggers on 4cuck /v/ are getting uppity and are starting to resist the anti-gacha crusaders. This is grave news for 4/v/ as the moment the gachanigger cliques organize 4/v/ will be turned into full gacha board with actual games demonized and the /v/ that first advertised such gems to me like Look Outside or Dolls Nest will cease to fucking exist, because 4/v/ at that point won't be anything more than discord erping ground masquerading as image board.

>>28272 bros this is so sad

>>28272 what?

>>28272 Didn't they have vg? Why can't some forms of autism be contained in their own little quarantine zone?

>>28272 I just don't understand why there are so many of them. Are these types of games the only thing non-gamers play anymore?

>>28307 >Didn't they have vg? They have and they don't want to be contained, they want to spread like an infestation >Why can't some forms of autism be contained in their own little quarantine zone? They are literally the memetic manifestation of cancer. Also a bizarre things from the hack that was leaked was that vg had the highest of rotated jannies due to jannitors going clinically insane within a week of moderating not even the board but selected gacha generals. >>28322 >Are these types of games the only thing non-gamers play anymore? The primary customer base are SEAniggers and probably indians. Gachas are basically "casinos" (an insult to casinos really as they at least give you an illusion of winning money back rather than spending hundreds to thousand of ameribucks on anime girl pngs) on a phone which a brownoid mind cannot resits.

>>28345 >jannitors going clinically insane within a week of moderating not even the board but selected gacha generals. Given what I've seen from the shit spammer here in /v/ I believe it, with the ~200x population they have there's probably even worse spam more frequently over there.

>>24170 The fact I've seen so many halfchan anons say they went back to twitter or even pondered the idea of sharty boggled me, i know way more than half the traffic is made up of those people nowadays but them saying it so brazenly is astonishing.

>>28366 >The fact I've seen so many halfchan anons say they went back to twitter or even pondered the idea of sharty boggled me, For former they went back where they came from, For the latter they were already tourist frogposters who latched onto pepe instead of fucking lurking a little more

all right, all right. i'm on it :D

But is it really worth it? Come on, it's a fucking fed honeypot with FiB Tr00n mods and J@w posts from Israel! Let them die a slow death I say, just delete your bookmarks. The corpse is already rotting, hacking it serves no purpose anymore.

>>28366 Shame, remorse, self-introspection and dignity are becoming foreign concepts on the internet. I don't know what causes it either. Most people would happily become apart of the social media gestalt or debase themselves by interacting with people who hate them.

>>28513 I get it, it's hard to find someone who doesn't hate me

How do I check the stats from this site again? There is no way it manages to get more than 100 posts every day

>>28635 https://8chan.moe/graphs.js, https://8chan.moe/boards.js has posts per hour .if you're not on mobile. /gacha/, /v/ and /vyt/ each have a PPH higher than 100.

>>28637 /gacha/ posters aren't real people. Nobody who plays a gacha game is a real person. I got here after 4chan went down for a week, what were those numbers like pre-4chan migration?

They really hate Pragmata threads and are cracking down mass banning a lot of people who dare to discuss the game properly instead of the unironically funny pedos

>>28675 >the unironically funny pedos Amusing how this game has made lolicons drop any pretense about what they actually are

>>28272 >Look Outside >Dolls Nest >gems get some fucking taste

8tards at it again with 4chan dooming threads? you guys are a joke, stop having inferiority complex for a literal shithole

>>28688 Oh no motherfucker, this thread is 100% cuckchan refugees bitching. Nothing on our part. This board was a funposting lounge before you fucking termites infested it.

>>28690 >blaming the halfchan hate threads on halfchanners really believable anon, thanks
