RIP 4CHAN
MIDNIGHT JULY 1st NEVAR FORGET
They probably didn't bother posting "HAY GUYS, WE'RE BACK" every time, 'cause once you were at the site you could see that for yourself.
And saying that the site is about to die makes everyone start leeching like crazy. And outages aren't always planned...
What I never understood was why 4chan adopted a grow, grow, grow policy? If you're having difficulty funding a site, making it larger is unlikely to help. The dot-com era ended five years ago.
So they go on a donation drive, promise it'll keep 4chan going... then apparently splurge it instead of adopting a conservative policy. A bandwidth capacity of 60Mbits? Why? Get a decent QoS and let the lower speeds serve as a demand limiter.
Are they attempting to grow it so large that advertisers would come? Or increase the value of the domain name? Someone enlighten me?
4chan is dead, long live to Wakachan !!!
4chan is still alive, as long as you access it through 8chan.net instead.
amusingly, none of the surviving boards are on the "worksafe" 4channel.org domain anymore.
this will be fun.
otoh, if that means americans cant access 4chan from work/school anymore, that will certainly reduce the traffic a lot.
>>8
.... which is of course nonsense, since all of the boards that were on zip.4channel.org except /a/ and /m/ have explicit worksafe-rules.
still, /a/ and /m/ have not.
which indicates that /a/ is now the replacement for /h/, /u/, /y/ ... and at the moment /b/ ...
In related news: Whats with shii.org? Is it dead, too?
Shii's getting out of the game. He cut up the site and distributed it to the poor.
>>4
I haven't the slightest idea, but I'd certainly enjoy using it more when it's on a 60MBit pipe rather than a smaller one.
>>9
/a/ is still /a/. For others go to iichan*.
>>11
He's doing the wapanese exchange-student-to-Japan thing and can't manage a website at the same time.
*as long as it can handle the load of course4chan did what is the greatest savoir vivre of today's times: to live beyond one's means.
And with any incarnation, it was awesome as long as it lasted.
The creativity level was still too low, though.
what is the best alternative for 4chan?
but where can i present my torrents? hehe...
How quickly everyone forgets http://0chan.net/w/!
1st death: Sometime between October 10th and October 29th, 2003.
2nd death: Sometime around November 22, 2003. (forgot this one?)
3rd death: January 3rd, 2004.
4th death: June 20th, 2004
apparently wakachan has a torrents board too, no one uses it though
That's me; feel free to use it. BUT READ THE RULES!
>>14
As I said, demand limiter. If you aren't getting it instantly, you'll probably also be more selective in what you download. Multiply this by a few thousand users...
It's actually pretty simple: place the html and thumbs in one category, and the src in another. Give the first category bandwidth precedence. It doesn't slow down surfing much since the html is sent quickly, but people won't leech slower src/ pointlessly either.
>>24
okay, d'oh. i got it. "no licensed" means no stuff in u.s., or what?
and are there any rules for the choice of trackers? ;)
Trackers must function. Other than that, just don't bitch too much.
and yes, licensed refers to the US.
maybe people would use the torrents board if you didn't divide up the navbar into iichan and wakachan hint hint
I've been telling them that this was a bad idea from the start but no....
Anyway, what a funny thread this has become.
See 4chan for my take. This is what happens when I get a job and leave the site to the staff for more than a few days.
FALSE ALARM YOU MAY RETURN TO YOUR HOMES
oh hay shii are you in japan already?
how are the lolis
Right now I'm in akihabara. and i can't name names but there are some pretty good places for lolis here!
>>34
Requesting more pictures and loli material. ^_^
alright, I put it up on hussy. look for the post made around 9PM
Er, call me silly or ignorant, but what is this "hussy" you speak of?
I assure you that you're better off not getting that joke.
ditto
Okay... Taken many pictures? How long you there for?
shii is a real jap?
ya
last was mine, but was clearing tripcode from browser memory in internet cafe.
if shii is realjap in west, what's the nature of the excursion? If I recall, japs past 1970? don't like to emigrate out anymore, or their emigration imitates 1stwrld->1stwrld emigration, especially since japan is a 1stwrld country.
okay, read thread, he is a wapanese? lol, smfc
what the fuck are you talking about?
This is now the drunk posting thread. Post only while drunk!
ok, i drank half a bottle rum just to be sure of some insight into what to post, but nothing has come to mind, so more dinking ok
seems to be working, your name's int he wrong field thingeredoodad.
indeed

moot and "the team" aren't out of the woods yet!
Place your bets! Will 4chan survive? I vote "no". They are too closed in the way they run things, which is kind of sketchy on a donation based budget.
I think 4chan will survive but things aren't going to get any better.
4chan is dead
No it isn't. Stop saying that everytime one or two servers go down for a few hours.
Also, stop making threads on other imgboards about it. It gets tiring.
4chan is dead
noooo! emo cry 4chan can't be dead!!
4chan went down for a bit for some people because of hilarious backbone drama (Cogent and Level3 depeered, 4chan is on Cogent), but BGP should have fixed it all now.
4chan went down to Georgia, looking for a soul to steal.
And moot was in a bind 'cause he was way behind and was willin' to make a deal.

death would probably be better than having "moot!HELLO@MOOT.MOOT.MOOT.MOOT.MOOT.MOOT.MOOT.MOOT.MOOT.MOOT.MOOT.MOOT" as an admin...
Don't these people have test environments? Sheesh.
THIS IS FROM 2005 BUT ME 2007 I COME FROM THE FUTURE DO NOT RESIST MY FORCED SEXUAL INTERCOURSE!
so is it dead yet?
FUCKFUCKFUCK
