4chan LLC

wasn't there a 5-year troll post about future 4chan been purchased by MTV and turned into SFW image chat

Being slightly better than utter garbage is not an accomplishment.

Gawker subsidiary

Shalom!

That is already happened.

Your service with 4chan is contingent upon your providing legal proof of your identity [...] You acknowledge that providing 4chan with any false or inaccurate information regarding your identity is both a breach of this contract and a punishable offense under law.

Why would anyone ever consent to this?

>>45
Because Anonymous is legion.

>>46
That's precisely why it's stupid to give out this information. All it takes is one incompetent site admin to furnish the whole board with your contact details.

>>45
4chan is much like the USA itself: an illusion of freedom, but actually a totalitarian prison pen.

The leaked logs paint a dark image of who really controls the site.

>>45
Because they have no choice.
There's good reason 4chan demands the identity of its employees.

>>50
And that reason is "FBI".

>>51
No it's to prevent shitty employees and trolls from being hired.
Imagine manly tears got selected as a janitor for /v/; the second you saw his face on his ID you'd NOPE, fire him, and dox him.

>>52

Imagine manly tears got selected as a janitor for /v/;

Who?

>>53
An attention whoring tripfag who's about 4 feet tall.

>>54
Tell him to check my dubs.

>>55
I view post numbers in base 16.
Those aren't dubs.
Pathetic.

>>56
I don't.
They are dubs.
They are sweet.

>>40
Wow. How fucking pathetic do you have to be to send all your information to a random fuckbag who has proven he has no clue about security many times over^* (or his successor, I guess) so he can sue you if you fuck up, in return for absolutely nothing but the privilege of deleting child porn and other garbage off a shitty imageboard? What next, a credit report? From a cursory glance at the logs, some of these janitors are online twelve hours a day. Are they so devoted to a zombie site that is running on pure inertia that they are blind to the fact that that is everything that 4chan once stood against.

>>50-52
I agree with >>51 chan. Look at the timing. Thousands of whorish celebrities have porn of them stolen from Apple. Apple deflects blame to 4chan. But who can moot deflect blame to? All he has to his name is a mountain of 4chan Gold money and a utter failure startup. Well now it is officially the ``volunteer'''s responsibility to remove it, and with their information on file, that lawsuit can get passed right on along. Bravo moot, for setting things up properly before you left the burning building. Now no one can touch you.

4chan Gold

4chan Gold is nothing. You have any idea how much he made off of 4chan diamond? Enough to wipe his ass with hundreds!
He still sold out to gawker though! You can't cure that kind of super greed! _{^{I know you're stupid, but I'm not being serious here, ok? I'm making fun of you for thinking 4chan gold is real and moot is rich.}}

lawsuit

When they file a DMCA takedown request the content is taken down. Hell, in most cases it's probably taken down before they can even file the request because lol ephemeral content.

FBI

What's that got to do with lawsuits from stupid celebrities?
Do you really think the FBI spends their time discussing the best ways to blame 4chan janitors for celebrity nudes? You're crazier than Terry!

>>61
You fucking autistic moron.

I know you're stupid, but I'm not being serious here, ok? I'm making fun of you for thinking 4chan gold is real and moot is rich.

I was alluding to 4chan pass.

Listen to the first fifteen minutes of his farewell address. He talks about spending thousands on lawyers because famous sluts wanted to sue him for damages to their image. DMCA is not the only law in the country, you know. And whether they win or lose, that money is still in Shlomberg and Shlomberg Legal's pockets.

Do you really think the FBI spends their time discussing the best ways to blame 4chan janitors for celebrity nudes?

I meant that there was a legal force compelling these actions. Please try to not think so narrowmindedly.

I'm now concerned about the state of the textboards. Moot kept them going, even though they're frozen and can't be posted on, but at least we have an archive. What if the new owners really don't care at all and just delete the dis. subdomain entirely? What if all our years of shitposting on the obscurest section of 4chan are suddenly gone without a trace of their existence?

>>62

I was alluding to 4chan pass.

They're nothing alike.
Buying a pass only means you don't have to type in the captcha.

>>63
In his farewell video, he alluded to three contenders for the throne, one of which was a server admin who used to be a dev, who had been on the team for, like, ten years. I can only guess that that is MrVacBob-sama-kun-hime. But the other two were some guy who wrote some userscript, and some old mod. Who knows where the cards will fall. But there are already backups made of all of w4ch with /prog/scrape. If I recall correctly, they were uploaded to the archive.org and Admin-kami hosts them here, and of course, any self-respecting /prog/rider already has them saved on at least three mediums and a base64 encoded hardcopy in both print and braille.

>>64
Well, they are alike in that they both cost money, which could be argued is the most important and relevant attribute in the context that I presented.

I will not respond to you again.

>>64
Not the guy you're arguing with, but I think you're missing the point. There's obviously at least some money involved in 4chan passes, and his statement was that moot profited off of it. You can't seem to get past the fact that he used the wrong name.

>>63
I'm tired of linking this.

I have a strong need to say something and every I would like to say has been said in >>58.

>>66
20 from a healthy fraction of 4chan users is a significant amount of money. moot is such a scumbag.

>>69
Why?
He ran 4chan out of his own pocket, making a loss for 10 years. What's bad about him finally getting a little money back?
We're lucky he even decided to keep the financial burden that was 4chan alive.

>>70
People like to complain.

I seriously hope you guys are redditors or something.
How could somebody use a website when they seem to hate it so much.
You're so entitled.
Worse than black people and native Americans.

I don't begrudge him for making money at all. I'm just annoyed by this about-face. I spent a lot of time there long ago and it saddens me to see it fall this far. The fun of 4chan was because it wasn't just a web forum with image attachments enabled where you payed your $10 to get a chance at sucking off a bunch self-important twats with a little moderator tag on their profile, and arguments weren't won by getting your mod buddies to ban someone. Most importantly, it never took itself seriously. Now there is a 4chan LLC and a contract of indemnity and non-disclosure for the mods, and they want proof of identity, etc. It's like it's trying to be Reddit, but I don't think that even Reddit does that. I realize that it would probably be hard to make money, which I again state that I am not against, without lawyering up and what not, but I feel a loss none-the-less.

Consider the day that dis.4chan.org is no longer hosted. Yeah, we have archives, but no one will see them. Excepting the unlikely event that someone rehost it, old /prog/ culture will be gone from the larger internet culture for good. The archives are no more than museum relics from a long forgotten civilization that died without note, and no more people will browse the pages and gaze with morbid curiosity upon our musings and performance arts.

It's the same with 4chan in general. The spark that made it fun is now destroyed and it will probably never recover. (Perhaps ironically, it is that spark that destroys things, because intruders demand entry, but then redecorate the places to resemble the places they were trying to get away from).

But I've digressed quite a bit.

>>72
I don't use 4chan anymore. Even shitposting on /jp/ has long since lost it's appeal years ago. And it is suprisingly little consolation that the meidos were in fact getting buttblasted in their private channels about it. I used to use /c/ a lot, but dedicated boorus and an english interface to pixiv obsoleted it. Everyone on the other boards are just boring and uninteresting. There's just no reason to go other than for meta discussion on it's failings.

>>70
He doesn't pay his employees. He pays them with stockholm syndrome. These people are scum. Like walmart takes advantage of migrant workers. Moot takes advantage of shut ins whose only perceived accomplishment is the title of moderator on some unsanitary corner of the internet.

>>74

**contains frustration** Please read the entirity of >>67, or search for ``heliohost''.

no more people will browse the pages and gaze with morbid curiosity upon our musings and performance arts.

Print a copy of the old testament and shelve it at your local library.

I just found out you can still report threads on world4ch. I wonder if the mods and janitors get notifications from the textboards still. Probably not. But I'm going to report threads anyway.

Didn't someone report every thread on /prog/ during the mod war?

>>76
Why could you even report threads?
It's not like there was 3d CP.
