>>78584501technically still the incorrect previous thread
>>78584581No, it's correct. The other thread (https://boards.4chan.org/r9k/thread/78583281) is cursed and should never be mentioned again.
>>78585178Could the mods like force archive or autosage the old thread so that the /bant/ schizo can't Necro it for the next 3 days like he's also going to do to the /bant/ thread?He's already beginning to bump the bad thread. He's probably the one who sabotaged the OPs in the first place.
>>78585226See? It's so cursed, it wouldn't auto convert the link: >>78583281
Don't post on the other thread. I'm not angry with the op, the /bant/ retard just wants to keep it bumped and make us post on the /bant/ one
>>78585507Oh and /bant/ is dt's territory, which isn't a good thing
>>78585510it's one of the faggots that spammed the /trash/ thread before we left
>>78585538it wasn't me. even outside of myself the /trash/ thread had many problems. I'm glad you left and you all should be glad to be gone. people who disagree are just bad actors trying to stir up shit and drama for no reason other than their own amusement from causing such displeasure amongst others.

I wonder why this happens. Also there is a conspiracy theory going around the boards right now, that they got rid of the unique poster counter in threads to hide the empty/dead internet and/or bots. Sounds crazy but who knows. Someone in this thread posted a link and it made me do a double-take, because it's very rare someone posts html links on this damn website, yet my antivirus goes nuts when I come here. Something to think about.
>>78586148Why page 7 specifically?
>>78586197Stop mass replying, I would still give you a reply if you didn't do it >that they got rid of the unique poster counter in threads to hide the empty/dead internet and/or botsI'm sure that this is what actually happened. They wanted to make artificial threads look natural. Now a thread can only have 5 different posters and 52 replies
Why did they add the IP counter?

Why did moot add an /adv/ board? The notion that you could get honest advice on 4chan of all places was even more ridiculous back when it was made.

This feels like a meme that would have started on 4chan if the site wasn't culturally dead
>>78588308We already have enough conspiracies on here as it is. Are you saying you trust the administration of this website over an antivirus software????
>>78589140>>78589140Not that anon, but I would trust gut feelings and tea leaves over antivirus software.
>>78589111i was actually thinking the same. twitter seems to be the site where all the memes are coming from post-covid, i really don't see shit from anywhere else including here.
>>78589584when did 4chan become uncool?
Wake up honey, new ragebait just dropped.https://is2.4chan.org/wsg/1724446140739727.webmGame's called Dustborn.
>>78589909we know, anon. its been posted on /v/ for like 2 days
>>78589942What if I didn't browse /v/, tough guy? What then? You'd have to suck my balls then, wouldn't you?
>>78589843this place is still active but most new users are just going to the already massive boards that are always going to be garbage heaps. i guess that makes it that much harder for new memes to spread unless they're obsessively spammed like -oomer/wojak shit, or they relate to something political for people to sperg out about. come to think of it i have a hard time recalling a new non-sociopolitical meme from this place since the early very 2010s.

>>78590099Another thread.>>>/a/270246554
>>78590081I think you're generally right, though I also think /k/, /pol/ and reddit have been feeding off of each other for memes related to the Russo-Ukrainian War. But that's a niche field, the memes are only relevant or funny to folks deeply interested in that conflict, and could arguably fall under the sociopolitical category you highlighted already.
happy to see caturday still going strong! >>>/b/923365627 TAKE THAT PORNOGRAPHY!
>>78590081a lot of 4chan memes are in-jokes and more specific to the board community where as the modern viral meme hinges on being a moldable fill-in-the-blank template for for you to share with (x) fandomjokes like goku giving chichi bone cancer or screaming KANTOOOOO when you see the fat red lizard are harder to mass translate into other fandoms so they don't get as bigand depending on who you ask the fact that they stay as in-jokes is a good thing
>other anon has no argument and accuses you and someone else of being a samefag>meanwhile he's blatantly obviously been replying to his own posts (reply 1 minute after the original post, with the same distinctive bad grammar, on a topic nobody else in the thread gives a shit about)The only more kino trope is when they resort to a semantic argument but get the semantics wrong anyways because they're an ESL. Seriously though, is it just me or are most false samefag accusations you get usually just projection? I guess that people who do it assume that if they are, everyone else must be too.
Crazy to think that Zoe Quinn fucking and sucking five guys would lead to the United States to the edge of a second civil war.

If LRD is dead, that's 5 years down the drain.

>>785914065 years of his efforts down the drain. I'd prefer he stay gone so lolicon threads recover without the stink of all the 3D shit he brings up unprompted. He ruined them with his network of shitposters.
>>78589140>>78589140the antivirus requires root permissions, aka it can do fucking gpio and overwrite the firmware.I am not running firefox with fucking root

>>78591490the fuck are you talking about retard
>>78591425You're overrating him. He just copied what "they" taught him, and he was really bad at it. There were even posters who said they agreed with his "message", but they couldn't take him seriously because of how edgy and unintentionally comical he was. "They" (if they matter at all, probably not) should be glad he stopped, he was such an embarrassment and failure.

>>78593270what about /t/? piracy isn't allowed there>/t/ - Torrents>All material licensed in the United States is prohibited. This includes music, manga, hentai, artbooks, and anything else protected by United States copyright law. (Note: 99% of what you will find on the internet is probably unlicensed, however first check and make sure it is before posting!)>There will be no "warez" allowed. Warez is classified as: retail software, games, movies, etc. See the above rule.>Content should be Japanese in theme or origin. The torrents board is not your standard anime tracker. As such, no anime of any kind is to be posted on this board.
>>78593657copyrighted material was also always against youtubes terms of service and yet they got a billion dollar lawsuit (which i think ended up going nowhere in the end)why? because rules are meaningless unless you enforce them. hiroyuki is not above the law just because of some hardly enforced rules.
>>78593443thanksis the background supposed to be transparent?
>>78593945na i just filled in it with the reply color so its jpg friendly and it traps it in 4chan
>>78593945>>78593959here's a png transparent version
>>78593966>hiro trans.pngOh, you
>>78593983ima tricky one!
>>78593689no, what the fuck? that's not even close to how it works.youtube got in trouble because it's fucking youtube. everyone on the internet needs youtube to exist for one reason or another, so everyone on the internet uses youtube where videos can stay up for as long as the creator wants and get recommended by the algorithm, which means copyright violations are far more serious in the eyes of license-holders. 4chan is a relatively obscure site that very very few people use to get copyrighted material, material which eventually gets auto-deleted before any relevant party can take action and regardless always complies with DMCA requests and/or law enforcement.for a relatively small site like 4chan, which doesn't have any attention driven to it as a piracy site, simply saying "don't post it" and deleting the occasional movie rip is more than enough to stay out of legal trouble.
>>78593993this was in 2011, before any of that algortihm shit existed
>>78593993yes you are right that stuff gets deleted over time here unlike youtube videos which stay up forever (or until the video/channel gets deleted(or youtube itself goes down)) and that 4chan is much smaller than youtube but there's nothing that says that you can only go to court with billionares, the hosts of romsites of the past know that better than anyone.but you are right that it probably won't. I'm just saying legally it could.

not a /hap/ but i'm pretty sure this post is fake, right? the post count doesn't match up with the time (>>>/ic/4762993 is from 2020) and the post content itself doesn't look like it's in any archives
>>78591168gamergate was the dress rehearsal for america's current culture warit was the spanish civil war of the internet
>>78594595the post is likely not from /ic/ if I had to guessalthough checking the ten billion archive I couldn't find a match. So maybe it is a fake after all. The only boards that had anywhere near that post count were all blue boards, and I doubt there were a lot of people using other themes for the SFW boards

don't ask me how I know this, but GPT bots won't respond to you if you have a spoiler in your post
>>78595989I kinda want to know how you know this. Useful trick if true, but it's unfortunate that we're limited to certain boards to make use of it.
>>78596079Are you sure you want to know?My source is I made it the fuck up.
>>78591168>people just like to pretend that gamergate was a huge political movement that changed america forever and not just an online slapfight that did little else but launch the careers of low-iq e-celebs.gamergate spread awareness that many journalists are corrupt activists, and it grew the anti sjw / woke movement. videos about it got hundreds of thousands of views and a lot of counter voices rose to prominence. its hard to tell how much impact it really had. it definitely affected culture war, but as isolated event its impact was definitely smaller than the european migrant and terror crisis that occurred at the same time, and not even 1/100th the impact of elon buying twitter
>>78595878Archives were a mistake.
>>78592854LRD made Orenji draw the "gamer child gf" meme?
>>78593047/b/ is 4chan's Dejima, all the bannable communities can live freely there. Or maybe like CHAZ. Pretty much what I'm saying is that stuff is contained only on /b/ as a sort of carryover from the Moot era.
>>78593993Shit gets leaked here constantly.>the Nintendo gigaleak on /v/>the Pokemon beta leaks>the Nickelodeon "gigaleak" on /co/ (files from the Titmouse animation studio got leaked there a while back too)>or, hell, the goddamn FappeningDMCAs happen all the time here as a result (/v/edditors remember this back when Last of Us 2 came out), but anything involving lawyers tend to be directed at the poster as 4chan has the funny little disclaimer that posters are the ones responsible for their posts. Example of that being the anons behind the aforementioned Fappening, a handful got prison time and the legal aftermath was the main reason Moot gave up on the site.
Besides /co/, /vp/ and /mlp/, which other board gets leaks with relatively high frequency?
>when the other anon you've been arguing with isn't actually a schizo and you realize you've been in the wrong the entire time
>>78596175>it grew the anti sjw / woke movementso as i said, low-iq e-celebs. videos getting hundreds of thousands of views means next to nothing in the broader political landscape, as is evidenced by the fact that most of those channels fizzled out after max 3 years (including many who pivoted out of "politics") and even the major figures like sargon completely flopped in the political world by mild media ribbing.the internet influences irl politics, i won't say it doesn't, i'm just saying gamergate's influences are fairly negligible compared to even people like andrew tate or even a few political streamers on twitch who despite having stupid views aren't treated as toxic waste by relevant politicians like the anti-sjws were.

If we're talking about lower board quality, we can talk about /a/ and how /dbs/ posting leaking to other threads kills genuine discussion.So much posts about cucks and diapers and disgusting shit all under "on topic" discussion just because it has an anime character.
>>78599004>I only want the degeneracy I like on the degenerate board!lol, you reap what you sow. /a/ is garbage.
>>78599004it's on /co/'s death/vs battle threads too, and those threads are left alone sometimes, pushed onto /trash/ other times, or just outright deleted them when mods feel like it, so i assume the staff is a bit conflicted on what to make of it all.

>>78598986I find a lot of them still don't like being stuck with the "anti-SJW" label, even though a bunch of them are also mentally stuck in 2014 and think the hipster-with-a-mask pic this is making fun of (don't have the original handy) is a thing that actually happens.
I've noticed a big down tick in people calling other posts bots recently. I felt like I saw it constantly but now not so much.
>>78596110Kek, I should have expected that.
>>78600435coinciding with AI shilling seeming to go downit's been a big thing the past few days that a paper was put out showing LLM and other machine learning models haven't made any appreciable advancements in a year and a half, on top of there being extremely dubious use for AI and the technology inherently not being profitable
>>78600538i agree the ai bubble is popping but sadly what ai is really good at is writing fake comments.i hope the detection for LLM keeps up with ithonestly i think 4chan should ban all LLM written material even if its uploaded by a user.the biggest thing 4chan has is the comfortable feeling of a homogenous community. the feeling that real people real ideas are behind the posts.the feeling when some anon shows something off to the camera and includes the thread in the background and your replys in featured.ai directly threatens that
>>78600642>honestly i think 4chan should ban all LLM written material even if its uploaded by a user.how do you propose they do this without banning half the site due to false positives
>>78600283i know the pic you're talking about and yeah it's the exact reason people stopped using sjw so much, "if you disagree with me you're an sjw, if you say you're not an sjw you're an sjw in disguise". it's one of those things where i feel like if you weren't called (or implied to be) an sjw multiple times back in the 2010s you probably didn't have any actual opinions on anything, same as if you haven't been called a retard or faggot.
>>78600690any blatantly ai that is lengthy in text that has a high possibility of being airight now i can just copy and paste chatgpt text and upload it but if i dont want it flagged as ai-generated i need to make a few tweaks. first i should make sure the text reads naturally and fits with my own style. adding some personal touches like stories or unique insights can help it feel less robotic. also checking for errors and matching the tone to whats expected on the platform will make it blend better. interacting with readers in the comments can also boost its authenticity.
>>78600642Your concerns about AI-generated content, particularly in spaces like 4chan, are valid and reflect a broader anxiety about the authenticity of online interactions. The rise of AI, especially language models, does indeed pose challenges in maintaining the integrity of online communities. When these spaces are valued for their human connection, the introduction of AI-generated content can feel like an intrusion, undermining the trust and authenticity that make these communities unique.
>>78600732fuck you chatgptand honestly chatgpt isnt the LLM im worried aboutspecific LLM's like 4chan-gpt which are difficult for readers to detect are worry some
>>78600747I think that's more a sign of how fucking dumb and homogeneous /pol/ can be than it is an actually convincing AI. Outside the context of "blending in as an average /pol/ post" it's useless.
>>78600732totally get what youre saying the worry about ai generated stuff on places like 4chan is real and hits on a bigger issue about keeping online interactions genuien with ai becoming more common its tough to keep that human touch which is what makes these communities special when ai content starts mixing in it can feel like its messing with the vibe and trust that people value so much

>>78598587>what goes on there?Basically ponyfags hack Hasbro's servers every couple of years and leak every project in the works they can find, and some of them are shareholders at Hasbro that post insights of future projects. The last leak I know of contained a lot of stuff from the G5.
Sometimes I'll think of /v/ projects and how people always seem to leave out Yandere Simulator starting on /v/, which is funny since it's probably it's second biggest gaymin export after nuzlockes.

>>78601931That's exactly why it's the 4chan post equivalent of an "I'm With Stupid" shirt.
>>78601138>it's second biggest gaymin export after nuzlockesNot even close. Even if you don't count Minecraft (which you should, because Notch was a /v/tard who posted all the earliest updates there) you've got Katawa Shoujo, Pokemon Clover, Risk of Rain, and the /v/ Friday Night Funkin mod which were all pretty impactful on the wider internet. After that is a fair number of indies that came out of /agdg/, which I can't remember the names of other than CounterAttack (which is fun).
>>78601931>This isn't actually possible without extremely highly coordinated spam threads and would attract mod attention very quickly regardless of board>i think it's a /pol/ thing, don't think much of itor if you're actually asking about the feasibility of it from the accuser's end then you should remember how paranoid about everything /pol/ and this site in general can get
>>78601894Fun thread. I hope that one dude actually goes out and takes a picture of the dish.
>>78601950>paranoidMore like fucking stupid because no matter how you look at it, it makes no sense.
>>78601982When you're paranoid enough, nothing is stupid. You just gotta belieeeeeeve.
>>78601937Fight Knight was by an /agdg/ anon
>>78601937I was more talking about community projects and not people from here who ended up getting big but in that sense if YanSim counts I could see counting Minecraft so sure, but of the rest Yandere Simulator is far more popular just going off of YouTube views and community engagement (e.g. let's plays, discord, patreon) so I'm not sure what you mean. Hell, Markiplier's video on it is still one of his most viewed above an onslaught of FNAF playthoughs.
>>78601982i've seen people from /pol/ saying the ip counter was taken away specifically to harm /pol/ "discussion" by making falseflagging and bait posts easier for government agents in the lead up to the next election. they can't not be fucking stupid; they make retardation their life's work and are proud of it.
>>78602043We probably have different definitions of "biggest." I have a hard time giving YandereSim credit for anything since it's an utterly failed gayject produced by a lolcow. But if we want to talk general community, you could give /v/ credit for both Vinesauce and Nyanners, since they both started out shilling there.
>>78596713definitely more like CHAZ, still one of the funniest "recent" events on /pol/
>>78602108How the fuck can it target /pol/ specifically when they still have IDs and flags? What fucking retards...
>>78601937Snoot Game overtaking GBVH as the base for all of its fan media with the devs sill seething to this day about it
>>78602127>We probably have different definitions of "biggest." I have a hard time giving YandereSim credit for anything since it's an utterly failed gayject produced by a lolcow.That's fair, but my point was more about it being one of the bigger "it came from /v/" things and it's a complete failure by an embarrassment of a "developer" so people just ignore its origins.
Desuarchive stopped archiving?
Did something happen to /v/ and /vg/?
>>78602329moot won
>>78602402what do you mean by "something"?
>>78602329it seems like new images are not being downloadedhowever if an image is already in the desuarchive database then it will show up with the postposts and their text seem to be archived correctly. just images broken it seems.
>>78602213"school snooter" is one of the funniest things i have ever read on 4chan
>>78602658It was also missing a relatively new thread I tried viewing on the archive. It actually grabbed it now.
>>78602721it always takes a few seconds to grab things even when it isn't having problems.
>>78602810Interesting. Last I tested, there was no rate limit I hit on the API (just json, not images or html).
>>78597473I wouldn't say high frequency, but I have seen highly classified documents and national security secrets leaked first on /pol/.
>>78600013I never used SA but I would imagine yes and it'd probably be something like Ebaumsworld.

>>78601549>>78601463Follow-up here after being warned for making a thread about the game it turned out what the mod was doing was herding everyone into the most overtly negative thread where he's let an obsessed shitposter roam free in it. >>>/v/686682639
>>78603960What if the mod is that shitposter?
>>78604223That would go a far way to explaining why reports on him seem to go ignored most days but I've seen him get banned before.
>>78604229I don't know how exactly the report queue works, but mods and jannies likely can't hide reports (such as to their own posts) from others easily, and they can get banned too. Certainly their posts aren't going to be undeletable.
>>78604252No ability for mods to get banned except by admin/site owner, jannies are treated the same as and can get banned like normal posters, to my knowledge. Though jannies can circumvent the appeals process entirely by yelling at mods on Discord. I think mods and janitors are capable of dismissing reports? But like you yourself mention it's also klaxon alarm obvious to any other mods that that's what they're doing.
>>78604272My theory is that every mod and janny can just see everything in the mod queue, but obviously reports need to disappear once someone has looked at it and judged whether to act on it or to dismiss it. I've also observed that single posts can basically get report shadow banned, meaning you can report a post that has been marked as unreportable as often as you want, but nobody will see the report.
>>78604223that feels like it would be an unnecessary burden to have just to be able to have a slightly easier time avoiding a ban, since other mods will obviously notice you spending more time shitposting than moderating. ban evasion on 4chan is way too easy to justify the headache of being a mod/janny
>>78604307As far as those FFXIV threads go I think Occam's razor applies and it's just a mod's pet shitposter. It's been a noted phenomenon since the game's Heavensward expansion that at least one mod has a hate-rager for the game and does not like its presence on /v/.
Is the front page down for anyone else?
>>78604344seems to be down as well as the rules page and probably anything else that could be found on the front pagefun fact this makes the ban page unviewable which i think makes bans permanent because i don't think bans actually expire until you view the ban pagebe careful everyone don't go posting in any ffxiv threads now

>>78604440Yeah looks like everything's up again
When did you change from liking the mods to despising them? Like most of /a/, I used to consider them one of us, just with more powers. But this changed starting around 4 years ago. Now I think every single of them should unironically kill themselves. I started lurking 4chan in 2007. I didn't care much about the mods or moot, but when they posted, they seemed agreeable. But they stopped communicating with us, went completely silent, and now their inconsistent and insufficient actions disgust me.

>>78606134Same, although it's been like this for a few days (>>78592924).Page loads hanging, CAPTCHAs not loading or displaying the downtime page in their frame, etc etc.Honestly CloudFlare has fucked the site with its stupid cache feature.>Post>Refresh>post isn't there>Refresh>post is there>Refresh again>post isn't there againIt's not even like some JavaScript/XSS thing where it's pulling in content, it's just...wrong. Delayed. Took for granted how snappy a website just running a script then giving you a flat HTML page was ( ._.)
>>78606137My god, I really can imagine this is what they did. They're running on fumes with no paid devs, so it makes sense that some complex features are not really implemented as UI but require raw DB queries, which are easy to fuck up. And of course with no backups or checkpoints, even though it's a trivial thing to do with databases. Why do they think databases were invented?
>>78606148The only important mutable state of 4chan is the current post counter for each board. An entire board gets wiped? Maybe multiple boards? As you can see, it doesn't matter much, shit's back to normal within a day.

Im convinced the wipe was intentional. The staff is intentionally trying to kill 4chan. After removing the ip counter, letting shit threads run rampant while deleting on-topic threads and so many retarded management decisions you can expect "oopsies" becoming the norm soon. That's how it ends.
>>78606227It's from the Snowden leaks. They tried to hunt him for leaking that. He lives in Russia now, where the glowies can't get him.
>>78606237now that the mods are actually posting, we should ask them why they removed the IP counter
>>78606237YAAAAAY!!! HOORAY!!! WOOOOOOOW
>>78606223iirc it was pokemon threads, then pokemon generals, that led to /vp/ first, while VN threads like katawa shoujo and RTS threads like SC2 led to /vg/ proper

Maybe we should have random board resets once a month. Or a week. Fuck these necrobumped 2 week threads.
>>78606440They could write a script that restores the board from one of the archives. But that would require maybe an hour of tinkering, if they even have anyone who isn't too bird-brained to do it.
>>78584370Oh /r9k/haplets, where's your resident mod to modsplain this grand blunder?
>>78605225I've always thought 4chan's style of invisible moderation did more harm than good and I remember reading a moot post where he agreed as well. It gives users the feeling that they can say/do anything at best and feel completely isolated and abandoned at worst. While I have a largely neutral feeling about mods/jannies (some boards are better than others on this issue), I am confident that all moderators/team members (save hiro and maybe not some jannies) are people that care deeply about the website and it's a passion project for them that they stick with through all the bullshit and legal insanity.
>>78606443Random or semi-random board purges would be really good for the huge boards like /v/ and /pol/.
>>78606471I thought moot defended and pushed this invisible moderation style?Though that doesn't mean not to communicate with users at all, like the mods have done after moot fucked off.
>>78606440>mods = fags?>insta-kickedkek
>>78606471there's other imageboard software that handles moderation much better where users can actually audit the moderation logs https://github.com/bakape/shamichan
>>78606450Don't get why they can't just combine an old SQL backup with the newer posts. For all boards even, surely it wouldn't fuck up the post numbers or anything? Maybe some threads would be on the wrong page for a bit, however that works, but there have been weird glitches where there have been extra pages before. And it all works out in the end.
All of the boards I hate didn't get wiped and I'm still pretty annoyed about it
>>78606471Do you think invisible moderation helps or hinders with antagonism between mods and the average users? I ask because, as a reformed furfag, I keep up with the doings on e621 and I've watched over the years as people seem to get increasingly bent with the mod staff their doing the typical internet mod powertripping bullshit. On e6, you know the mods, and you usually know what they're doing, so to my eyes you can form concrete opinions on them, for good or ill. The one upside to invisible moderation is it gives you plausible deniability. I can assume they're not cunts, and chastise people bitching about admin abuse for earning whatever they're complaining about because I don't feel any lingering personal animus against them.
>>78606475You're right this was his idea and he pushed it for a long time, but I am sure I remember seeing a post from him towards the end where he said something along the lines of it being a bad idea that did more harm than good. I could be remembering wrong, but we are absolutely way too far into this to change course.
This site is so overmoderated it's becoming a lot less fun
>fuck up really hard>want to soften the blow by saying s-s-sorry guys... w-we did a dumb...>don't say a real reason that would make people understandThis is how you know how stupid the fuck up must have been.>>78606557They should moderate more.
>>78606535I think invisible moderation is the major reason why users hate the mods or are unaware that they exist at all or actually do anything. I think more a more visible mod presence (more stickies, more blotter posts, regular news posts, occasional public bans, more visible mod posts, etc) would have made the website way better but we're 21 years into this so I don't think changing it is viable. It is what it is, for better or worse.>>78606557This guy spams about niggers and trannies on hobby boards guaranteed.
>>78606245>ask them why they removed the IP counterHave you ever posted in a new thread that was a few rows down on the catalogue only to have it not bump? Then if another anon replies, it magically bumps. This occurs because the thread was posted from your IP and the site applies OP bump rules even if you're not the one who typed the post. If you post here and fill out the captchas, the algorithm is pushing AI generated posts through your IP onto various boards. The chances of catching this is very low as it's unlikely that you will happen to find and reply to a benign thread on a board you might not even visit.They only hid the IP count so you don't realize what's happening. Otherwise you'd see a 300+ post thread with an IP count of 20 as each bot plays the part of many different anons. Even if it's your first time posting, perhaps the thread already contains a post pushed through your IP.I also suspect this is intended to frame high priority target anons for various crimes. There might be a post with a benign sounding story implying the anon was near some place that a real crime occurred. Or a post that implies they're in possession of illegal materials. Online posts are used as the basis for conviction all the time. At the very least, it can be very financially and socially costly to the target.I myself post from behind 7 proxys, so I feel comfortable enough to shed light on this scheme.
How schizo did /biz/ respond? No apology thread there?
>>78606612Fair assessment.

>>78607860Because they are not anonymous and Reddit has upvotes/downvotes which I hate.Many of the 4chan communities I use have associated Discords but I avoid posting in them due to the lack of anonymity.
>>78607839We're talking about absolute trash like spam, blatant off-topic baiting, organized shitposting.
>>78606165active boards getting wiped is bad but manageable, the real kicker is the slow ones. it'll probably take weeks to months for /3/ to fill up their catalog again.only a select few of them getting hammered is what's confusing me. if it was a profoundly bad fuckup like trying to test something live, wouldn't all boards be affected? has anyone found any correlation between the boards lost?
>>78607885this is obvious to anyone who cares about actual discussion but you're trying to explain this to someone who thinks 4chan is reddit but with less moderation. jesus christ they probably treat 4chan like a chat room too if they're comparing it to discord, sickening.
>>78608060>like trying to test something live,Considering the mod called himself dumb multiple times, this seems like a reasonable theory. Maybe trying to delete spam that matched a search expression or something. Could also be that the mod stopped whatever he was doing when he noticed he was wiping boards.
>>78601853I don't think that's true. Are you talking about the "Current Users" stat?

>>78608060As mentioned above, it is possible that all the boards are not on the same servers. If still true, this incident suggests that not only are they not on the same servers, there is no rhyme or reason to how they are distributed across the servers.

What if it was an IP range wipe gone wrong? If the range accidentally included most IPs that are on use in the internet, and if IP wiping has a board selection feature, this might be a worthwhile theory.
>>78609394the timing may be notable but technically desuarchive claimed 4chan is reporting 404 status codes on large swathes of images, not 429s.

>>78609937>has a sharty board
>>78609821But it's more than that. It's true that public bans and the occasional (or even frequent) mod message can help in some ways and hurt in many others, but the issue is more that they do these things out of the blue and we only ever see the aftermath. Why did they remove the IP count? We can only speculate. Why did they close /qa/? We can speculate with more certainty, but no official statement. What the fuck just happened here? "Mods being stupid lol, sorry!" is all we'll get and it's frustrating.Like, why the fuck did they make a message on individual boards, instead of just using the news page that's gone basically unused for almost a decade at this point? That's what people mean by public moderation: making it clear why they're doing things before they're done, and/or clarifying things after. Near every piece of information we know about the site's moderation of the past decade is from IRC logs where mods are rude and dismissive, and that's wholly their fault and not the users. Sometimes it even takes a rogue janny leaking shit or a literal court order after a mass shooting to hear anything at all, what the fuck?They don't want to say something stupid publicly that then gets tossed around to hell and back (e.g. "cultural phenomenon" re: smash) but staying silent has the possibility of doing just as much harm for a site like 4chan. Hiro knows English, even if he pretends like he's some clueless Japanese guy to trick people into thinking he doesn't understand the question, so there's no excuse for him not giving so much as a "we see you, we hear you <3" every now and then.
>>78609983It's to contain all the 'tardy whining from offsiters, we're not affiliated with soitrannies in any way. Stop spreading lies.

>>78609432Yeah, either that or they have a tool to wipe an entire board, since they wipe /b/ every now and then. Since the stickies were not affected by the wipes, it makes sense that it was a mod tool rather than a database query.
>>78610327>posts that piss the majority of the board users offFixed.
>>78609432i doubt its an IP range issue because then why are only certain boards hit and others not? an IP range mistake would turn 4chan into swiss cheese

If you sort the entire list of board names alphabetically, and count the number of boards in the gaps between uninterrupted sequences of the boards that were deleted, there's this pattern:1 1 3 3 6 3 20 13From the start, I could notice that the boards that were deleted trend to the beginning of the alphabetical order. I was hoping to see a more regular pattern.

>>78611163The timeline's weird, not4chan.org was registered on November 5 2004 but in early 2005 4chan still linked to the boards on the main sitehttps://vyrd.bibanon.org/rx/736524.htmlThe earliest proof of not4chan in use I can find is this cap, from the post counts it's clear the boards weren't reset. (Post count on /l/ on 4chan on Oct 15 2004 was 46123) There's claims that it ran on the same server which makes sense if all they did was redirect the URLs and change the CSS. For a while you could probably access the same boards on either 4chan.org or not4chan.org. There's also a reference to not4chan in the leaked code from 2010.not4chan was mostly run by moot's #raspberryheaven friend Saber, along with Censored_Vagina (CV was pretty involved with early 4chan) until July 26, 2006 when Saber either lost interest or was worried new legislation would outlaw loli.
