Yes, it's full of gay shotacons and porn addicts in general. Even the admin acidman's twitter is full of hardcore porn.
People have been speculating for a while that the hacker isn't a soyteen, he only posted the leaks there to pin the blame on them.
>why
Could be autism like previous hacks, could be glowniggery. One of Peter Thiel's catamites is offering to buy 4chan, which would tie into speech control and shilling for fake right wingers on twitter.
Decentralized networks like NNTPchan and the webring have been tried before and they don't really work. The issue isn't centralization, it's that 4chan sucked the life out of the imageboard system with its huge population but also drowning quality posters in spam and janny sponsored shitposting, while being unable to stop a single schizo no matter how bad they make the user experience. The only solution is good moderation and a willingness to leave if it gets bad enough. Excessively decentralized communities are easier to destroy with spam or just die out naturally from too few users on the traditional static posting format.
>What was the original 8 so angry compared to now?
Drama between boards, between staff and between board users and their staff mostly. Also sunshine and the josh drama.
Change the theme lol
>qrd on hotweels
embodiment of the spiteful mutant. currently spends his time jerking it to furry inflation porn and trying to get racist imageboards taken down with his pedophile buddy kirtaner.
Most of the refugees are newfags larping as oldfags.
>Don't see how outright ownership would bring any new advantages to him
I'd imagine the idea is being able to more effectively promote controlled opposition.
>I don't think this concept of "make your own board" is as good as it first seems either.
It isn't. Most people stuck to the legacy boards no matter what, alts didn't take off except for gamergate related ones. The only advantage is that staff of various boards generally disliked each other, you didn't have a troonarchy like on 4chan where all the staff will collaborate in taking down people they don't like and cover for each other's wrongdoings. Remember that the last staff leak from 4chan was around the time moot introduced the real ID requirement.
He fell out with Jim around the time the shootings started, quit forever and turned into a fat furry porn addict larping as antifa. Read his KF thread
