I am of the opinion that 8chan was deliberately taken down by the white hats for a number of reasons, one of which is to wean those who became dependent on the site like a drug.
Why do I make this extraordinary claim?
Many reasons, but is coincidental that there were 93 days between infinity going dark and 8kun seeing the light of day?
Follow the pen?
Watch the water?
Coincidence or was Jim just riding the coat tails?
