Did the sharty hack destroy this site?
I remember even just a couple years ago this place was brimming with activity.
Now I barely get 4 replies on most threads.

Probly multiple factors. But remember that globohomo think tank’s leaked report about destroying places like this by making them increasingly unpleasant and unproductive to visit? And now they can do that with chat bots. Obviously in the end they want essentially total social control, digital ids + digital currency etc.

Have the bots been eliminated?

trannies infiltrated the moderation of most boards and ran them into the ground. I'm permabanned on at least two boards last time I checked.
I'd really like an alternative where I can just discuss news events, anime and other shit anonymously, and not fagged like reddit
is it that hard?
>>
>>534391876
you should see this board at night
it's like those times when the site freezes, except it's just naturally that stagnant at night
>>
>>534391876
The smart ones have moved to alt chans.
Brown people havent discovered those yet.
The dumb posters like you and I well, heh, were here for life.
>>
>>534392171
>I'd really like an alternative where I can just discuss news events, anime and other shit anonymously, and not fagged like reddit
X should've been the place for that, but the grifters and shills flooded it instantly just like they did here.
>>
>>534391876
Meanwhile the Asian female gook spam every hour gets like 35 posts within 5 minutes while the board is stuck at 3 posts a minute.

This place has been dying since 2014 at the latest.
>>
>>534391876
Most counties have banned the site, and google removed it from searches.

That has real world effect from normies finding the site.

>>534391876
Eternal September.

This anon is banned for reporting your posts. Press S to spit.
>>
>>534391977
Worse, non white twitter posters
>>
>>534391876
I'm gonna say it... a lot of anon just got that this site is unconsequential, especially in the current cucked internet, it survive barely as a place to lurk some not mainstream version of the global news, but its mostly larp
>>
>>534391876
Its the admin the mods and the hack.
A ton of anons stopped posting after the hack.
The admin made it worse by implementing strict cloudflare jewry.
The mods made it worse by rangebanning entire ips instead of using ai tools to easily block the OP spammers.
>>
>>534392253
lol there isn't one single alt that's worth a shit, every one is infested with owners/jannies/both that are schizo as fuck, censor based on taste or nothing you can pinpoint, many of them outright attention whores who'll lie and censor a site into the ground to hide that they're censorious at all
roving gangs of discord faggots that'll destroy any site that isn't already like that, or gayops them into being that
most run from discords or other offsite circlejerk garbage

this really is it
>>
Well the sharty is pretty dead now as well
>>
for me i stopped posting as much because of how annoying the biased moderation is
/pol/ is pretty alright but other boards are fucking obnoxious and it's really annoying to get banned for a post that other posters are making in the same thread without getting banned
also pretty fucking annoying when other posters are doing posts that actually break rules and my post gets got instead of that
>>
>>534391876
you are shadow banned.
noone can see your posts except mods, janitors, and glow niggers. every once in a great while you're given a pity (you) just to keep you around while copies of every post you make are stored in a data base.
have a (you).
>>
>>534392596
how dare you
you probably like general threads
>>
>>534392077
no. brit sneedbots are back posting at the 8 and 9 second mark
>>
>>534392751
>other boards are fucking obnoxious and it's really annoying to get banned for a post that other posters are making in the same thread without getting banned
I share this sentiment. I'm banned about every other thread I make. Pondering quitting altogether but then I'll have to be a normalfag 24/7 and can't unleash my inner autism.
>>
waiting forever for a captcha then doing multiple gay ass puzzles is annoying af. also twitter/x is basically the new 4chan imo
>>
>>534392077
No this place is all JIDF and various other shill bots
>>
>>534391876
everyone went to X. It's not like this site s actually anonymous anyway. Jannies have your ip and location and will rat you out to the authorities if you misbehave.

We are in the process of basically disabling phoneposting because a gay, pedophile, zoophile furfag nigger manlet with several hours of recorded child grooming to his name runs a ban evasion service used by schizo weebs to spam child porn with exclusive residential VPN services paid for from his own pocket.

Every posting problem in the last 3 years can be directly attributed to him.

I wish I was fucking kidding. He has a thread on Kiwifarms. Search leto / unicodefag

elon just bought it to collate everyone's "real opinions" on a site it's easier to track poster histories on for a while
>>
>>534392993
>We are in the process of basically disabling phoneposting
this would only be an improvement but would kill traffic comparatively from where it was
>>
>>534391876
Anything that's posted here gets posted on X, so there's no reason to come here. There's no attribution to the original source so the current generation has no idea what 4chan is. If they do come here, all they would see is discourse they already see on X, with the added hassle of onerous captchas. Why bother?
>>
>>534391876
the threads that get the most replies are ragebait twitter/reddit screenshots
>>
>>534392924
Honestly, it's not just X. That applies to this board, but the lifeblood of the site - gamers - have moved on to other sites. Every game has its own forum, everyone's on Discord, and then there's the YouTube gaming community. 4chan is no longer a unique corner of the internet for gamers. It's just better than Reddit, which isn't saying much. The perpetually online would rather be perpetually online somewhere else.

they deliberately sabotaged their own honeypot in order to kill it

unregulated places of free speech are phased out right now, as the final phase of escalation and ultimately mass extermination comes closer
>>
>>534392993
less than 0.01% posts come from his website, 4chan is just overreacting.
>>
>>534391876
https://4stats.io/

if you look at the data, the hack actually didn't really have any impact on traffic in the long term. it bounced back pretty much immediately. traffic has been declining since well before the hack. it's just an old, archaic website that is full of schizos and miserable people, it drives people away and it's not attracting any new users.

Care to elaborate further on your assessment, anon?
>>
>>534391876
No one is waiting 60 min to post
>>
>>534393406
the format itself is outdated
the userbase was never all that newfag friendly and didn't even need to be for a long time, being king of IB traffic
>>
This place a shit storm now. Threads archive before the next morning
>>
>>534393175
Pretty much what's happening. The 15 minute post timer was because of him. People genuinely have no idea how hard this nigger fucked the site up.
>>
>>534391876
I shall reply in your honor.
>>
It was shilled to death the moderators just let it happen because they are glownigger leftists
>>
>>534392077
This place is a complete and total human hotspot. There are 0 (zero) bots engaging with the website and all its sub-directories (boards).
>>
>>534393412

x and other platforms have moderators and can be held accountable (censored) legally more easily, as they are corporations.

thats what its all about.
mass control.

and the latter is very important, especially in the times that are ahead of us.
>>
>>534392077
4chan is just a propaganda site now
>>
>>534392993
Is that the nigger that makes spammers post their little dicks and dox themselves before they can use his vpns?
>>
>>534392253
>the alt chans
the remnants of 8.ch.an that still hang on were all implicated in promoting terrorism and CP. They got on the fed payroll quickly.
at least this site is too incompetent to be effectively weaponized
>>
It's just the same threads every day. There's maybe a couple worth posting in every day, but then its just the same slide threads everyday. The ones that are interesting just get bumped off by slide threads.
I honestly hold onto the hope that there will come a day that all the shills and bots will be repurposed elsewhere. Since this place will just continue to become more and more irrelevant.

The entire board is just black and white, direction brain faggotry.
>critisize side A? you must be a side B shill
>>
>>534393640
So basically: if its online - its controlled.
>>
the bot money dried up within a week of the 2024 US election's end, and the end of USAID finished them off entirely
now it's actual posters and NSA jeet shitpost bots

first time since 2015 i saw a thread on /pol/ last 24 hours was late November 2024
>>
>>534393544
this place has been a golden goose for the kind of people that have discord groups dedicated to infiltrating the offsite mod circlejerks and destroying altchans so I guess it was inevitable
sharty shit just put blood in the water so now you can see those kinds of fags posting as well
>>
>>534393802

there are different types of honeypots.
chaotic free ones like this one.
and pseudo-free ones like x.

of course, real freedom only exists offline.
>>
>>534393494
yeah that's true. frankly, it's a bit of a miracle that it's even still as active as it is considering how old the site is and how it's basically been unchanged all those years. 4chan is contemporary with fucking Myspace. so many social media websites have risen and fallen in the time we've been around, the only other forum that old that's still relevant is Reddit. hell, there's not many websites period from that time that are still relevant other than ones that achieved total dominance in their area, like Amazon, Wikipedia, and Youtube. and all of those with the exception of maybe Wikipedia have had numerous updates to their site design.
4chan is very much a relic of a different time and it's not really surprising that it's starting to slow down.
>>
>>534391876
The Mossad bots got reset.
>>
>>534392751
It's so annoying how the most interesting threads with good engagement get deleted while pure shit stays up.

>what happened
normie invasion
4chan got popular after mainstream attention
now its mostly 1pbtid
>also
community notes -
4chan has software features you can use to express negative opinions about crappy threads yes it really works but requires team effort kek
>>
didn't help but it was all going downhill before anyway

Have you ever been so far as to break way from the the far side of the moonlight in the evening is really nice this this time of year. I have and it's a 10/10 experience.

>frankly, it's a bit of a miracle that it's even still as active as it is considering how old the site is and how it's basically been unchanged all those years.
alts have been such a shitshow almost everyone from shit like the exodus either left altogether or came back here
it being unchanging is actually a good thing comparative to the shitshow alts have been
there's one particular admin who made it his goal for years to ferry people around from one site of his to another rulecucking them into oblivion, couldn't trust any new site cause it'd turn out to be another of his pulling his same old bullshit
which starts to blend with the way so many alt owners end up in these schizo holes fearing the discord kind of fags YOLOing around wrecking shit for the lulz using child porn and anything else that'd work

it's like the remnants of almost the entire IB crowd here now, buried under all the shit traffic
>>
they also deliberately shredded 4chans user base by banning shitloads of people for no reason

i was banned for half a year for allegedly posting "cp"
>>
>>534391876
Unit 8200 has been a little busy / dead after the war with Iran started. Your "frens" will be back as soon as the war is over and they can afford to pay jewish women to sit around and post here all day again.
>>
I lost the link to the thread years ago, no idea if any version of julay is even still around, but there was a conglomerate of admin fags after 8ch got rekt that was having meetings on how to divide the site's userbase and fuck with them and milk donations and shit out of them
so many people driven away from that kind of shit, and fred outright giving those kind of idiots this "how to for dummies" guide on interfacing with service providers to shut any imagebaord down while he was feuding with Jim over 8ch
meaning no site was reliable cause they'd all inevitably close or need to censor so hard and illogically it drove all the traffic away
>>
>>534391876
most competent people have left and are making youtube videos now or shorts/reels for instagramm
only plebs are left
this is a breeding operation for intellectual sleepers not their actual residence
