[url]https://www.4chan.org/news[/url] [quote]I founded 4chan eleven and a half years ago at the age of 15, and after more than a decade of service, I've decided it's time for me to move on. [...] I've spent the past two years working behind the scenes to address these challenges, and to provide 4chan with the foundation it needs to survive me by bolstering its finances, strengthening its infrastructure, and expanding and empowering its team of volunteers. And for the most part, I've succeeded. The site isn't in danger of going under financially any time soon, and it's as fast and stable as ever thanks to continued development and recent server upgrades. Team 4chan is also at its largest, and while I've still been calling the shots, I've delegated many of my responsibilities to a handful of trusted volunteers, most of whom have served the site for years. That foundation will now be put to the ultimate test, as today I'm retiring as 4chan's administrator. From a user's perspective, nothing should change. A few senior volunteers—including 4chan's lead developer, managing moderator, and server administrator—have stepped up to ensure a smooth transition over the coming weeks.[/quote]
moot is a cuck
[QUOTE=Tomz;46980358]moot is a cuck[/QUOTE] don't you mean cluck
the rumors were true.
He's made his money, why stay?
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;46980362]don't you mean cluck[/QUOTE] cuck is the new word after 'pwned owned rekt' etc. etc. so they say
[QUOTE]I'm humbled to have had the privilege of both founding and presiding over what is easily one of the [I][B]greatest communities[/B][/I] to ever grace the Web.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=LaTrefle;46980379]cuck is the new word after 'pwned owned rekt' etc. etc. so they say[/QUOTE] No, moot is really a cuck
Doesn't seem like he's leaving permanently
so have the sjws taken over completely
While you may disapprove of 4chan/moot, you gotta admit for starting it out at the age of 15 and seeing it through till today is a pretty impressive feat.

[QUOTE=Squidman;46980383][/QUOTE] he never liked people getting out of their safety zone and protesting scientology. Seems like he never appreciated the great feats out of 4chan that surpassed it's norm.
Whether or not you have a positive opinion on 4chan it is without a doubt one of the icons of the internet and one of its oldest still-running websites. Good on moot to find success in it and retire.

[QUOTE=Svinnik;46980402]so have the sjws taken over completely[/QUOTE] the contracts have been established for mods and janitors to something like NDAs.
[url]https://archive.moe/a/thread/119859498/#q119862086[/url] I guess he implied it on /a/ a few days ago.
[QUOTE=leontodd;46980370]He's made his money, why stay?[/QUOTE] Because nothing else he did gave him money. Doesn't really matter now, he grew too far apart from the person that started 4chan.
Mods now have to give their full identities. Soon there will be registrations. It's over
Moot is a faggot but he is the best faggot 4chan ever had (till the last few months) godspeed
[QUOTE=Tomz;46980461]Mods now have to give their full identities. Soon there will be registrations. It's over[/QUOTE] "From a user's perspective, nothing should change." I don't think moot honestly wants to fuck everyone over. If he did he could have cashed out a long time ago.
love how everyone is crying that the SJWs are gonna take over 4chan. its funny when something like this everyone is in panic and nothing happens. Have to say thanks though, alot of laughs have been made for me on 4chan, and 4chan has made alot of things happen in 11.5 years.

He's a trooper for putting up with such a toxic userbase. Thats probably 4chans norm tho. Idk.
To be fair after reading his post I see where he is coming from, he's 27 going on 28. If it's obviously taken a lot of time and personal money(especially during the first few years). It's definitely a good call for him to take some time off and think about what he wants to do next and plan for his future. 4chan is a one of a kind place, and if he doesn't plan for his future he'll just wind up a 40 year old need. Also, in the post it says he may return, his retirement is just an extended vacation.
[QUOTE=Jesus Crits;46980497]With all that negativity he received in that thread, I don't blame him. Thats probably 4chans norm tho. Idk.[/QUOTE] hating moot is 4chan tradition
[QUOTE=Tomz;46980496]Do you really think moot would outright say ''Yeah you guys are fucked'' as soon as he leaves? It will be short death[/QUOTE] Why would he just shit all over >11 years of work? What's so hard to believe about moot tentatively turning over administration to a team of trusted mods?
