[QUOTE=sam6420;46980559]As long as Garry doesn't take over, should be fine.[/QUOTE] merge all sections into /b/ because /b/ stands for random therefore everything should go there
Good night, moot. I'll miss you (probably)
how's it feel knowing that moot left 4chan before you did I don't think it feels very good
[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;46980605]how's it feel knowing that moot left 4chan before you did I don't think it feels very good[/QUOTE] its not like he is leaving, more like taking a break and giving the job for someone else he even wrote he will be back at some point maybe as an admin maybe as an anon
[QUOTE=sam6420;46980559]As long as Garry doesn't take over, should be fine.[/QUOTE] this would happen twice a day for garry [video=youtube;CSJBp6kYLmE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSJBp6kYLmE[/video] Only if you set the video to 2x speed and was 1 hour long [QUOTE=Bryceanater;46980494]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.[/QUOTE] if I was moot I'd probably have left way sooner he was really dedicated
I dunno if this is a good or bad thing, it's kinda obvious moderation and site's direction has deteriorated in the past year. Hopefully things don't change TOO much
Damn, I hope he's telling the truth when he says nothing will change.
[QUOTE=Colliseemoe;46980516]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?[/QUOTE] I wonder if the new mod will do it for free.
Quoting this post from 8chan because it's really appropiate [quote]Poole is going to be dragging that ball and chain around with him until the day he dies.[/quote]
[QUOTE=Jesus Crits;46980497]With all that negativity he received in that thread, I don't blame him. He's a trooper for putting up with such a toxic userbase. Thats probably 4chans norm tho. Idk.[/QUOTE] It's an in joke. 90% of the time when that sort of thing happens people are taking the piss rather than actually having a go.
it's wicked that he started the site when he was 15. you know what i was doing when i was 15? failing algebra.
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;46980709]it's wicked that he started the site when he was 15. you know what i was doing when i was 15? failing algebra.[/QUOTE] He stole his mum's credit card to pay for a website where he and his online buddies could talk about anime and anime related things. Then /b/ happened at some point. I always thought it was funny when he was asked, "has anyone ever recognized you on the street?" and he said, "No... oh wait, yes actually. Well I'm not 100% sure he knew who I was but one time when I was walking down the street someone rolled down their window and screamed, 'DO A BARREL ROLL!'" This was at 4chan's peak popularity too, I guess being internet famous doesn't give you star power :(
[QUOTE=Tomz;46980358]moot is a cuck[/QUOTE] What is a cuck and why is he that
It had to happen sooner or later. Moot's said numerous times that 4chan was a huge money sink and that he was basically constantly losing money over it. Being "the guy in charge of 4chan" has got to be a huge weight on your shoulders considering that 4chan is the internet's scapegoat. RIP in Peace CEO of Troll, Inc. You will be missed. [QUOTE=Swineflu;46980789]What is a cuck and why is he that[/QUOTE] It's short for "cuckold" and it got started when Moot posted a picture of himself on a date with a girl or something and either /b/ or /pol/ tracked down the girl (because of course they did) and found her Instagram where she was posting pictures of herself on a date with someone else.

I know he's put a lot of money into the site, but he's definately gained a lot aswell.
[QUOTE=Duskin;46980806]He said that the site was actually quite financially secure for the foreseeable future. I know he's put a lot of money into the site, but he's definately gained a lot aswell.[/QUOTE] I wonder what he does for his day job
[QUOTE=garychencool;46980827]I wonder what he does for his day job[/QUOTE] smokes dank memes
[QUOTE=garychencool;46980827]I wonder what he does for his day job[/QUOTE] IIRC he does a bunch of talks at colleges as well as some coding and web dev on the side
I wonder if this means the rumors of him working on a new site is true.
[QUOTE=Fangz;46980950]I wonder if this means the rumors of him working on a new site is true.[/QUOTE] he's worked on other sites, they've been mostly flops though
[QUOTE=Ithon;46980417]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.[/QUOTE] Most of that was people rebelling against something for the sake of rebellion. It was the same with Occupy, and the whole Gamergate thing going on right now. Too many idiots jumped on board, so the main message goes unheard or gets misrepresented. The result is that instead of healthy debate you get internet fights and blog drama. At some point activism just turns into hooliganism.

Someday Garry will do this as well only instead of finding a replacement, he'll abandon the forums and let it slowly collapse without anybody actually in charge

[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;46981055]Someday Garry will do this as well only instead of finding a replacement, he'll abandon the forums and let it slowly collapse without anybody actually in charge[/QUOTE] no i've pmed garry and he says he's going to give me the site and appoint me supreme overlord source: garry is my dad
Wouldn't Garry be able to buy 4chan? Imagine that happening. The perfect storm.
I stopped going to 4chan a while ago. I browse 8chan like the immature fuck I am though. Rest in piss Moot. You cucklord I seriously how 4chan will go from here, will more users ditch it for 8chan, would it become a new tumblr? Will it shut down? God knows what.
4chan isn't going to change at all
Curious to see who might try buying the website and in that circumstance; who would buy it just so they can see it dead, because now Moot is no longer has a reason to refuse any offers.
[QUOTE=Géza!;46981082]Wouldn't Garry be able to buy 4chan? Imagine that happening. The perfect storm.[/QUOTE] What would we call it? GarryChan, FaceChan or ChanPunch.
