Is that the average 4chaner?
Above average.
Start linking up 4chan IDs to real rich people like Musk or republican officials and watch trump start calling for the death penalty for the hacker.
It’s that incel elon musk starting all those facebook porn threads on /b/.
I think you guys have a weird idea of what 4chan is.

Allegedly Elon’s account.
Did 4chan had usernames and so? Wasn’t it’s deal that ir was anonymous?
Some of the boards use a system called tripcodes, which are essentially a username and password in one that are used when writing individual posts. It allows people to prove that they’re the same person across multiple posts, without anything as identifying as a user profile attached.
I always tough that they were cookie-generated, like you wnter the cookie assign a code for you that eventually go off. Pretty lame them pretending to not have user names while doing it.
Tripcodes are not automatically applied. Default posting was anonymous, but a user could optionally post with a tripcode name.
Some boards like /pol/ introduced post IDs where a randomly generated code would follow your anonymous name within a thread, so others could see which comments within a thread were the same person. That system wasn’t site wide though, and it wasn’t a persistent account.
Pretty lame them pretending to not have user names while doing it.
doesn’t this essentially make it an opt-in system to user names?
So, a bunch of trolls got hacked? I’m not sure how I’m expected to feel about this, but frankly, I’m not feeling anything at all.
As someone who has never actually used 4chan, I have popcorn and am just sitting back and enjoying the shit show
That’s the best way to consume 4chan content.
well thing is, they might be searching for a new home
Oh many of them are here already.
It’s like a circus, grab popcorn and watch.
someone hacked into the sewer and stole all the turds
I posted an amused and positive comment on the orange site about this and in 2 minutes got a threat about me getting hanged in the near future. Tech bros be panicing.
I mean, the same will happen here if you post the wrong opinion. It’s not that different from Reddit. (See how I used to word and nothing happened, btw?)
I would like to be hung. 😏
Question: what is the significance of /qa/, why was the board banned in the first place, and why did the hackers bring it back?
qa was my favourite 4chan board probably ever. it was a random board like /b/, but strictly SFW. so, they were the creatives of the site. the soyjak memes you see everywhere started there. they got into fights with other boards but it came to a boiling point when they raided 4chans LGBT board, and as a result qa was closed. they moved to another website. that website, or rather one of its users, then spent about a year navigating the very outdated freebsd from a decade ago running on 4chans servers until he was able to access the PHP admin panel, re-open /qa/, and then nuke all files on the server except the homepage. which itself now seems to return an SQL error.
Which site did qa migrate to?
its a website referred to as the party, but im not saying the actual name due to the fact that it regularly gets spammed with csam and other violent things of the nature, its really a lawless land and its hosted in russia. its not hard to find if you look on twitter or something. even as someone who went on qa before, i have never wanted to step foot there, its not the same.
Not interested in that other stuff, but are there any sites you recommend that are closer to the old qa?
kissu.moe is where most of the original qa migrated to, aka the people who were there before it started to become a raiding board. it even has its own version of qa there now which is really nice and they have drawing threads and talk about anime and stuff.
it’s soyjak.party
Fascinating. Live by the trolls, die by the trolls.
The hacker known as 4chan hacked himself? 😮
Who is this anonymous and why does he keep talking to himself?
Come over to Marblecake and I’ll explain.
Turns out the hacker known as 4chan barely knows how his own code.
Which one of you is going to hack reddit then?
ok ok I’ll do it
Maybe they could do the world a favour and delete it - along with the backups.
backups were always against the spirit of 4chan
No. For the same reason that they didn’t demolish Auschwitz. We must learn from our follies, lest we repeat them.
Bro you’re giving 4chan waaaaay too much credit wtf, comparing it to literal genocide?
Come on.
Ya. It’s a joke, and that’s how jokes work. In this essay, I will explain, examine, and critique every known form of Homo sapiens humor.
In the beginning…
I doubt there’s any such thing as backups, nothing on there is permanent that’s why so many archive sites exist.
This amuses me. Fuck that refuse scow
I never liked 4Chan even when /b was the big thing and not the /pol.
Oh god /pol/ is the hot spot now? I can only imagine the cess pit.
/b/ is just logspammers and porn now.
And the 15 min wait to post anything has noticeably slowed down any sort of discussion. Posts on /b/ can last for up to a week now because of it
That actually sounds like it might be an improvement…
The 4chan Captcha never worked for me, so I stopped trying years ago. I used to go there to troll trolls when I was in a mood.
There just has to be a copy of the database somewhere out there…
Well it looks like 4Chan is … [puts on shades] NoChan… YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Not the type of hacktivism we need but the one we deserve.
The hackers who took 4chan down come from an imageboard known as soyjak.party or “the sharty”. They are unironically, in terms of politics, more far right, and in terms of culture, far worse than 4chan from what I’ve heard and seen from the website.
Yeah - the real freaks left because moot dated like Brianna Wu or something stupid and weird like that. 8chan was the place for a bit.
4chan is owned by an anime figma company at the moment - i think Nendroid?
