“There’s been an attack on our server. A beast has been awakened. It approaches with feeeeaaaarsome steps. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Are we paying the price for our hubris of being racist pieces of shit?” -4chan
Anytime I see a quote from 30 Rock, it gets an upvote.
it could be the result of the forum running on long-unpatched software dating back to 2016.
It’s widely known that the current site owner doesn’t give a fuck about the site, and it’s de facto been led by the moderator “rapeape”. Sooner or later the site will die, financially it’s probably worthless, and I wonder where all those people will go. Maybe they could make a federated imageboard…
They’ll probably move to 8chan.
8chan got taken down years ago, multiple reboots of it have appeared but IIRC they’re all practically dead. So, not a likely candidate.
They moved to reddit in 2015.
4chan is old news at that point, pretty sure most of the regulars moved on because they felt it was becoming too mainstream
Crap, we need this site to come back up and fast. Can you imagine these people going to other sites on the internet? /jk
