local cuck ruins everything
The amount of weeb posting going on at the moment because of this is ridiculous.
isn't this guy a criminal or something?
good thing i waited until a sale to renew my pass then
[QUOTE=LegndNikko;48731569]What bad could he possibly do to [I]4chan?[/I] It's an anonymous forum site, what could go wrong?[/QUOTE] Plenty of bad things have happened to the site in the last couple years, it's not exactly difficult to fuck up.
[QUOTE=The Aussie;48731590]Selling user data?[/QUOTE] I assumed that had been happening already
Remember that 2chan and 2channel are different things. 2channel=2ch - text board, think something close to reddit. 2chan=futaba - imageboard, 4chan's ancestor
Wonder what's going to happen if/when he pisses off /b/. But seriously why did anyone think this was a good idea.
Ah hell this is gonna be a shitshow
[QUOTE=Eonart;48732183]I can't believe people in this thread even bought passes in the first place to be concerned about this. [I]You paid money to skip a captcha.[/I][/QUOTE] tbh I think I really lose respect for any poster that actually did that
[QUOTE=veevee;48731630] [QUOTE]The guy was kicked from 2ch for selling user data and blackmail. When he was kicked he set up a 2ch clone that mirrored all 2ch posts and content by flooding it with bots.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE] Well isn't that a coincidence. I don't know if you guys noticed it, but about a month ago some strange random forum went up (with freshly registered domain), almost entirely blank in design that quickly (albeit only for a short time) got the attention of some boards like /v/ or /pol/. And yes, just like what is described here, it consisted entirely of bots with names randomly taken from Twitter, flooding the forum with threads and posts copied 1:1 from 4chan. Even the subcategories were exactly the same. Of course, people were quick to notice that it was being used for a money making scheme, probably for data mining or similar shady business. And now a month later this guy appears out of nowhere and becomes the new owner of 4chan. And judging from his past actions: [QUOTE]Hiroyuki (Mirai Kensaku Brazil) had signed a contract with a data mining company named Hotlink and sold them the personal data / user comments from 2ch.net.[/QUOTE] I guess it's clear what his intentions are. Edit: I found it, it was called sheekyforums (dot) com. Not going to directly link it.
"I met Hiroyuki in 2011 and we became fast friends, bonding over our shared passion for creating and managing online communities." imagine actually enjoying [i]running 4chan[/i]
[QUOTE=Eonart;48732183]I can't believe people in this thread even bought passes in the first place to be concerned about this. [I]You paid money to skip a captcha.[/I][/QUOTE] How else am I meant to post about the hottest new anime with schoolgirls in it whilst posting about how we need to eradicate the Jews ([I]ironically of course!!![/I])? Those captchas take up precious time I could spend masturbating. But really, what kind of human being must you be to pay money for such a retarded convenience?
[QUOTE=Eonart;48732183]I can't believe people in this thread even bought passes in the first place to be concerned about this. [I]You paid money to skip a captcha.[/I][/QUOTE] There are also forums where people pay to get unbanned, imagine that. Best part about the pass is knowing that the janitors there still do it for free.
[QUOTE=DrTaxi;48732469]"I met Hiroyuki in 2011 and we became fast friends, bonding over our shared passion for creating and managing online communities." imagine actually enjoying [i]running 4chan[/i][/QUOTE] As bad as the site is, 4chan has been hugely influential in both positive and negative ways. Considering it was setup by a kid in college as a side project and it's grown into the beast it is, wouldn't you be at least a bit proud?
anime will never be banned now :(
[QUOTE=YouWithTheFace.;48732622]anime will never be banned now :([/QUOTE] I can't imagine why a website created for anime would ban anime

This kike jap is going to ruin 4chan or nothing is going to change. This is what happens when you call the founder of your forum a cuck [highlight](User was banned for this post (""Kike Jap"" - Craptasket))[/highlight]
[QUOTE=YouWithTheFace.;48732622]anime will never be banned now :([/QUOTE] Apparently he hates Otakus. :v:
[QUOTE=hexpunK;48732682]sorry i insulted your anime friends (It's hyperbole, that's really, really clear. Calm down)[/QUOTE] the second part of your post (which is what lain was responding to) didn't come off like that at all
[QUOTE=hexpunK;48732682]sorry i insulted your anime friends (It's hyperbole, that's really, really clear. Calm down)[/QUOTE] you sound pretty serious [editline]21st September 2015[/editline] what kind of RETARD pays for a service on a site they use regularly!! isn't that wacky!
[QUOTE=hexpunK;48732682](It's hyperbole, that's really, really clear. Calm down)[/QUOTE] I think that if you want to be sarcastic/hyperbolic you probably shouldn't start the sentence in question with "But really"
this is probably the best news 8chan has ever gotten
I think this is perhaps the most fitting person for 4chan to be handed over to. 4chan needs someone who gives no fucks and doesn't afraid of anything at the helm in order to keep it's magic.

Man, now where will I go to take anonymous art requests? Lately been using this as an excuse for practice without the requester having any expectations of it being good.

If the reaction to gamergate discussion being banned is anything to go by, people probably won't even remember in 2 weeks that something big and controversial happened to the board and everything will continue on as normal.
