• I added an agora current events board to contain discussions of political and current events to that category. This was due to a increase support for a separate board for political talk.

1) Please return to the topic at hand. 4chan got hacked. Talk about that. Flame wars are cyclic.

2) Wolfmanfur banned for degeneracy. Genuinely, we don't need that here.

Cheers.

Back on topic, I know that suptg at thisisnotatrueending.com served as a repository for all things /tg/. Likewise I know that /fa/ and /fit/ had offsite websites for storing information. Does anyone know if other hobbyist themed boards had been storing data offsite? I assume /g/ did? It would be a shame to lose all that useful information.

If I remember correctly, /mu/ and /lit/ both had wikis, and while I'm not sure if it was an official thing from /g/, there is https://wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/Main_Page which has a lot of the information from /g/'s various boards

Speaking of tech, does anyone else think they might just trash yotsuba and move to another platform entirely? The code was apparently super old with a bunch of PHP functions that were deprecated back in 2012, and so are probably removed at this point. There will probably be so many breaking changes to PHP that entirely rewriting yotsuba wouldn't be economical.

Late to the party, but I just want to say I genuinely want to remember this.
The common factor between every world or internet event I've experienced in the past decade is that I don't pay enough attention to form a vivid memory of having lived them.
This right here feels like weekly drama at best, when in reality it's exactly the type of internet turning point slash plot twist we all yearn for. Something to be remembered...
And...
...something to exploit.

Are they going to use this opportunity to revamp the shitty timer and captcha system?

/lit/ had a wiki which was a valuable resource of recommendations, and /x/ had a torrent library called The Temple of Solomon the King,which was a repository of texts on different esoteric traditions and modern books on the paranormal. 4chan might have been a shadow of its former self. But I liked asking questions there, and looking for recommendations. You needed to filter a lot of noise but you were given responses that were difficult to find in other places, like you could randomly find an autistic schizo who has been reading into something you weren't even aware existed for years now and it would be thrown at your face. You could also throw in your takes that you aren't entirely sure make sense or are reflecting of reality without a worry, acommpanied with a bit of creative writing, because you are just anonymous, and in 4chan you should know not to take things too seriously.
Places like >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk in comparison tend to give you much more conventional responses.

Once again furries prove themselves to be the single most obnoxious community on the internet, which is really impressive considering what the internet's become nowadays

Looking at the leaked code, it's surprising how amateurish it is. I would hope the next iteration cleans things up considerably

I know there are other image board platforms, so it's certainly an option. The problem though is that hiroyuki was letting the inmates run the asylum. The fact that the backend hadn't been updated in a decade -- since before he even took over I believe -- is proof enough. He was content to just let the patchwork feeble systems of 4chan run and collect whatever pass profits he could. Is he willing to invest in putting together a new website?

Do you think they'll let us talk about Homestuck on /co/ after they "fix" the website?
Only if the associated modstaff quit upon the opsec breach. I find that unlikely, our kind will remain underneath /co/'s boot.

Its for the best really, Epilogue forward was kinda whack
