[QUOTE=FreezingStorm;48733479]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.[/QUOTE] 8chan always works.
[QUOTE=BLOODGA$M;48733686]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.[/QUOTE] I'll wait to see what happens. People always get hysterical when there's a change of ownership, like with Tumblr and Yahoo or Twitch and Amazon, and then nothing ends up happening. That being said, I am cautious of him given his history.
I'm sorry for all the dank memeposters.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;48733841]remember when reddit died or when 4chan died when the sjws took over[/QUOTE] 4chans been dead
[QUOTE=Wii60;48733252]for those who want a summary of the owners actions [url]http://8ch.net/newspaper/res/3.html#3[/url][/QUOTE] 4Chan users are just gonna deal with it. Most rebellious users willing to stop using the service over stupid bs have already left for sites like 8ch
[QUOTE=greasemunky;48732155]Wonder what's going to happen if/when he pisses off /b/. But seriously why did anyone think this was a good idea.[/QUOTE] /b/ isn't even what it used to be they're not going to do anything.
[QUOTE=The Aussie;48731570]I hope 8chan gets another influx of users because of this.[/QUOTE] 8chan, which literally has a pedo board? No thanks.
I think moot's just trying to kill 4chan at this point. This new owner is less than trustworthy, and will likely prompt another exodus to 8ch.
For all the shit 4chan has been through past the first exodus, I'd be surprised at this point if people wanted to migrate to 8chan.
Because the best option at this point is to hand your website over to a literal criminal before jumping ship. Moot's not even trying to pretend he's not just sinking the site at this point.
[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;48733949]literally has a pedo board[/QUOTE] wait [B]what[/B]
[QUOTE=Trixil;48734551]wait [B]what[/B][/QUOTE] 8chan defends free speech, free speech can only survive if you defend all speech, even of those you hate. 8chan had a board dedicated to discussions of pedophillia, but no actual picutres, ways to get it, or other things of that sort were posted on there. those that did that would get basically banned off the site (anything DMCA-able or Breaks US Laws gets wiped off the site) and i think reported to the authorities. the owner does not support the board, but he keeps it open because thats one of the only ways free speech can still thrive on 8ch. if you just ban topics that you dont like on a board dedicated to free speech thats basically censorship and goes against the point of free speech. people use this to damage the reputation of the board, because they dont want free speech to exist and want to be moral guardians of the internet. you can easily go on any other board and never see that board exist.
yeah i'm sure the only reason people would hate a pedophile board is because they hate free speech
[QUOTE=Derpmeifter;48734623]yeah i'm sure the only reason people would hate a pedophile board is because they hate free speech[/QUOTE] you can hate people that post there, pretty much everyone does (i think pedophillia is disgusting as shit). but to simply wipe off any discussion about it is anti-free speech. rather listen to stupidity than silence.
[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] You paid money for a gold coloured name and a private section only a handful of people use FYI
[QUOTE=Gareth;48734670]You paid money for a gold coloured name and a private section only a handful of people use FYI[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure the mods reinstated the X posts and Y join date criteria for automatic Gold like how it was back in the day.
[QUOTE=Eonart;48732183] [I]You paid money to skip a captcha.[/I][/QUOTE] On a mobile, that's actually something more valuable, especially when google's new captcha came out and gave mobile users the hardest images ever (Took a few months for clover dev to get new system working with help from google). Additionally, I use it to post in an blocked ip range (proxies :v:)
[QUOTE=EdvardSchnitz;48731593]he could sell your interests to advertisers via your ip's browsing habits[/QUOTE] Lot's of google ads for me.
[QUOTE=Saber15;48734679]I'm pretty sure the mods reinstated the X posts and Y join date criteria for automatic Gold like how it was back in the day.[/QUOTE]They did, thats how I got it originally years ago, but you can check his log and see he actually did use boostar for it. So the point is still valid.
[QUOTE=Trixil;48734551]wait [B]what[/B][/QUOTE] Rules ban child porn so its probably just really creepy.

[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;48734766]Hahah holy shit have you even looked at it, it's plastered up and down with non nude, semi nude and nude images of children.[/QUOTE] The site is whatever you make of it, I've never seen CP in /v/, /k/, or /tech/. It's your loss if you see it as an incentive to view that type of content, especially if it's concealed from the rest of the popular boards out there.
[QUOTE=CoolKingKaso;48734804]The site is whatever you make of it, I've never seen it in /v/, /k/, or /tech/. It's your loss if you see it as an incentive to view that type of content.[/QUOTE] The site is making a safe place for pedophiles to upload and share their content and methods, how is that positive in any way? :smile: If it was about free speech it shouldn't be an image board in the first place.
[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;48734766]Hahah holy shit have you even looked at it, it's plastered up and down with non nude, semi nude and nude images of children.[/QUOTE] I don't know, have you looked at it? That board seems to make quite a racket for having 213 active users and a whopping 8 posts per hour [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wn2wbXO.png[/IMG] Compared to the top board, /v/, with 970 posts per hour and and 3313 active users. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/L4Fwj0r.png[/IMG] You're also ignoring the fact that the only rule not made by a board owner them self is "Do not post, request, or link to any content illegal in the United States of America. Do not create boards with the sole purpose of posting or spreading such content." If there is content like that being posted, then its against the rules and should be reported. The owners of the website and any staff are not encouraging the posting of that content and are simply making good on their goal of free speech, meaning no exceptions, even for a topic so undesirable to have.
[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;48734813]If it was about free speech it shouldn't be an image board in the first place.[/QUOTE] Not sure about what you're meaning with this.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;48734924]Not sure about what you're meaning with this.[/QUOTE] If it wasn't for posting images of children, and the purpose was free speech and discussion it wouldn't even need image posting in the first place, but it's pretty obvious why it's there.
[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;48734966]If it wasn't for posting images of children, and the purpose was free speech and discussion it wouldn't even need image posting in the first place, but it's pretty obvious why it's there.[/QUOTE]So free speech means no images?
[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;48734813]If it was about free speech it shouldn't be an image board in the first place.[/QUOTE] Not illegal. Just [I]really[/I] creepy.
