Long time lurker, sometimes poster here.
On this one year anniversary of the first Q post, I want to make a mention of some very special anons, white hats who kept watch of the board, who are more than likely are keeping a more silent watch, the Fire Watchers, or coined as the FWanons.
I more than likely will not get a reply, but want to send a shout out to them, thank you for all you have done, and will do.
They helped anons stay frosty for the first months of this whole thing, they would appear when the board was under heavy shilling along with bad people posting away.
They would post in cyrillic, hebrew, mostly insults and threats, some snons would use translators to troll them or tell them to go fuck themselves.
There was a more heavy presence of both white and black hats for about the first 4 to 5 months on any 4ch and 8ch board that Q was posting to, any anons at this time will agree with me on that more than likely.
There was also more heavy interactions seen back then too, its back then that any anons around learned truely of how much a warzone this is.
FWanons came in just before a black hat attack in the board, and then after the attack, they would make a post or two to random anons, and then stopped posting until the next attack.
It was a cycle the board was on for months, anons got some rare quieter times, and the times where there was heavy shilling plus an attack going on.
Its about month 6 or 7 where these outward blatantly attacks stopped, where they started being more subversive, and started relying on shill shit more.
The FWanons stopped posting around this 6 or 7 month mark too, I dont doubt that they are lurking and watching, they always are.
Of course the black hats try to DDoS the board too, to try and stop anons work, but it doesnt work cause of how anons minds are built, how stubborn anons are, and how anons will stop at nothing to get the truth out to normies, and how anons see through all the bullshit.
Remember anons, Q picked anons for a reason.
