>>120177222
I don't think there is going to be a new admin, moot doesn't want all the responsibility to rest on one person so he'll just have mods manage it as a team. And regardless of what might happen, /a/ isn't dead yet. I'm just saddened to see /a/nons making suicide pacts already and saying they're going to move on from /a/. If everyone leaves, then it will be them who killed /a/.

To be honest, 4chan has already changed quite a lot, even during the 11 years when moot was admin.

Of course change is inevitable. I am all for change as long as they are tolerable.

A lot of people applauded 4chan because there are no accounts, and is considered more "free" than other online communities.

I will probably continue to browse 4chan as long as I live. Unless it becomes too stifling like Reddit or Facebook.

>>120177543

He and this place are truly a bastion of free speech which is slowly being robbed from the internet.

Congrats Moot, you had a great 11 years, I just hope the new admins don't fuck up and decide to make this place more corporate and capitalize on us.

I can't stand them, major dealbreaker.

>>120178364
It very much is the problem. It may not be *your* problem, but it is a huge problem that is prevalent.

For instance, you called me a "fucking retard" just now. Since we are on an anonymized system, I can't do anything to you.

If we were on an identity-based system, that would be bad. If you pissed someone off real badly, he or she could make your life hell. With more information being able to be traced back to you, you are left more vulnerable.

I get your point. You want to remain anonymous so you can call me a "fucking retard" without any consequences. I actually want that, too. I am a proponent of free speech, and I believe that you should have the right to say anything you want without any hindrance to your well-being.

So yes, that IS the problem with usernames and registration, "you fucking retard."

>>120179136
Excuse me, but I was the one who wrote that post, and I know exactly what I meant.

The more convoluted registration becomes, the more weight your words have.

An anonymized system works best because I can say pretty much anything I want, with little to no consequences.

If I say something while using an account that has my personal information tied to it, I would be in for a world of hurt if I happen to offend someone.

You fucking dick.

>>120179379
What the fuck? You have to be misunderstanding something, because nobody in this thread disagrees with you. Your original post just made it sound like the problem with registration is "baww it takes too long" when the problem is that it restricts anonymity like you said.

So, no, a registration system would still be shit even if it was based on an "antiquated design", contrary to your dogshit opinion that registration "wouldn't be so bad" if it's simple as stated in >>120178257

>>120179502
>I said it would be a lesser evil to the alternative.

You did not.

Unbelievable how you'd be upset that people attack you for saying registration wouldn't be so bad. You're the one that made a shitty post that doesn't reflect what you were trying to say in the first place.

Goddamn you're an autist.

>>120179774
I acknowledge that you found difficulty in understanding my post.

If push came to shove, and simple registration was enforced, I might *reluctantly* give into it. I still wouldn't like it, but it would be better than the modern bullshit you see on most sites these days.

I acknowledge that my point did not come across to you clearly. It's a good thing we're anonymous, because you seem steamed.

>>120176754
Because I said that yesterday.
"I'll wake up and go on 4chan and moot will be a faggot as always."
And this happened.

moot had a vested interest in keeping this place alive because it was basically his livelihood

volunteer mods do not care.

>>120180170
>I might *reluctantly* give into it

Thought so, faggot.

>>120180684
Didn't moot say he broke even with 4chan? Did 4chan start becoming profitable at some point?

I hope so, but every time I've seen a site sold it went to shit. I think the new admin will be fine as long as moot owns the place, but the problem is what's next.

If moot's smart and cares about the community, he'd turn 4chan into a nonprofit and give users some say in selecting the mods. But I expect him to cash in, the new owners to ruin it, and the community to disperse, because that's how the internet works.

>>120180806
If I offend someone on the internet and the most info they can dig up on me is my e-mail address, the worst thing that could happen is that I'll get gay porn in my junk mail folder.

If I offend someone while using an account with highly sensitive info attached to it, I am at their mercy. They could publish my name anywhere and tell the world that I am a bad man. And maybe they'll even kick me in the nuts.

I'd rather get gay porn in my junk mail than get kicked in the nuts. I'd prefer neither, but if it came down to it, at least the gay porn is manageable.

>>120180838
I think he actually did start making some profit on it eventually, yeah, though I have no idea how much, I know that running and hosting an affair like 4chan is very expensive, lots of traffic and data going through every day, every hour, every minute, every single second.

>>120181030
You can calm down now, sperglord. The conversation was over several posts ago.

>>120181014
>give users some say in selecting the mods
Goddammit, no.

Whenever we have shitty mods, there was only one person to blame: moot.

If the users had any say in mod selection, we'll have thousands of people to blame.

The only time 4chan users argue with each other is to prove whose waifu is better. We don't need any pseudo-political arguments going on.
>The mods are shit, I bet the /d/emocrats were responsible for this mess

>>120181207

Approval voting and supermajority requirements would reduce that effect a ton. 50% is probably a bad idea for exactly that reason - a mod should be respected by the vast majority of the board, not just half.

Just as long as we don't get a "veto everyone" obstructionist clique.

>man behind the memes

Every time.

What's funny though is that when 4chan dies, people will think Reddit invented memes. Hell, a lot of normalfags think that already.

>>120181743

For incumbents, lists of mod actions would work. There's already the ban page - link each mod's ban/delete history, redacting anything they actually can't show, and vote for re-election.

For new mods, you have a damn good point and I guess democracy doesn't work online after all.

>moot remains the owner of 4chan
Assuming moot makes any sort of money from 4chan, he probably won't let it go. Hell, he hasn't slammed the door on this place even when he was losing money from it; and if he did, I wouldn't blame him.

>>120181868
>he has a PhD
>it's pretty much useless

People who say that this site is going to stay the same are absolutely delusional. Volunteer mods and a board of directors will ruin this place simply because they are not tied to it and therefore do not care about it. moot stuck with us for this long because it was his own single creaton. Now these new leaders are going to burn this place into the ground (likely by implementing shitty new additions and trying to bring in a larger demographic). They will think of 4chan as a business to profit off of now and nothing else.

>>120176754

Hey, speaking of which, does Ben Garrison think he's won now or something? I recall he thought moot personally arranged for the "attacks" on his name.

>>120182136
As far as memes go, I have no idea. But reddit is literally made for sharing OC or links, that's why it's a shit discussion place.

The janitors are fags, but they shouldn't have much power. The mods will be managing the site, and I'm fairly sure most of them care about 4chan, otherwise they wouldn't be mods.

If /a/ and /v/ had the same userbase then /a/ would be filled with the same >tfw no girlfriend blog threads as /v/. The fact that there is basically a "no normalfag allowed rule" on /a/ proves you wrong.

Just shut the fuck up, you faggot. /pol/ is the worst board in the entire site because you faggots can't keep your shit out of other boards. At least /b/tards are too retarded to stumble into other boards. You faggots are going to blame SJWs for moot's retirement forever when the fact is that he's leaving because you retards caused him tons of trouble on your own cancerous social justice campaign. That's what you are, a polar image of the same SJWs that you claim to fight. Both are groups of extremist retards that make the rest of the web their battleground and just annoy the shit out of everybody stuck in the middle. Kill yourself.

Why would that be weird? They're 2 of the fastest boards and the posting style is very similar. Do you have this idea that angry racist people can't watch anime, or that /a/ has a lot of liberal posters?

>>120183848
Arguments, moralfags laughing at pirates getting rekt by DRM vs. pirates laughing at anyone who spends money vs. everyone else saying they're both faggots. Just all 'round mad really.

>>120183985
Of course there's some overlap. There's overlap everywhere on the site. But that doesn't mean that the whole userbase is the same. It's completely different.

>>120183971
My point is it's an established /a/ with mods that actually browse the board, if we're going to migrate anywhere that's still our best bet in my opinion.

I never realized how many people on /a/ like SJWs. I guess I am the outsider.

Nothing here is going to change for the foreseeable future unless the site is outright sold or the new batch of mods/admins go full vindictive nerdmode on us all.

And even then, even were this site to die, I'd rather just go down with the ship. I've been here for 10 years, there's no substitute for this place and a glorified GG forum isn't even close.

>>120184004
Gundam threads get replies on /a/ though. Just about everything does. In fact, that's the best thing about /a/, is that taste is so diverse among the large userbase that you can discuss pretty much any anime to some extent if you make a thread right. Not everything is going to get 500 replies but there's always someone who'll talk to you.

And I find it absolutely pathetic that you /a/utists are sucking moot's cock when no less than a month ago he had stickied "USUKA" memes on /a/. All he does is post b tier spam here, and you constantly preach about BOARD QUALITY, but when it comes to your precious leader you get emotional and beg for his cum. Do you have any idea how pathetic that is? He hates you and you're too retarded to realize it. Not /pol/, not /v/, he hates YOU and he sold you down the river.

>>120184212
Hating /pol/ doesn't mean liking SJWs. Fuck off, faggot.

>>120184136
>the posting style is very similar
It's not at all. Have you ever browsed any of the boards? Just because the boards are both fast doesn't mean the userbase is the same. If anything, that implies the opposite since it would be harder for a single person to browse multiple fast boards. /a/ is very isolated from the latest 4chan memes and drama which makes it quite different from the other fast boards.

>no fun allowed
isn't the point of /a/ to have fun?

>>120181883

The fact you think it's either /pol/ or SJW is why you're a retard.

just check in. so who's gonna replace moot? zuckerberg?

>>120184115
Note I'm not claiming they're exactly the same, they have the same userbase with more stuff to discuss.

/a/ is one of the most dependent, oversensitive boards on 4chan. any change to the things they cling to as "givens" results in massive emotional distress

it's why they prefer the fish-in-a-barrel "relationship" they can pretend to have with their waifus over the unpredictability of real world interactions

>>120184255

Well /a/ has been pretty shit for a while, the only reason I come here is because otherwise I'd be behind on current events. No better place than 4chan to see what's going on in the weeaboo community.

I think a big change that will probably happen as soon as moot hands the reins over is someone will enable audio in webms. Moot has been the only vocal opponent of it.

It's moot's fault for being such an incomptent retard. Maybe his Q&A will resolve things because he hasn't talked with his userbase since before GG.

>>120184291
>/a/ is very isolated from the latest 4chan memes and drama which makes it quite different from the other fast boards.

At least someone gets it. You're alright, anon.

/a/'s saving grace that has kept it's quality from hitting rock bottom like /v/ did is how divided it is, so there's no hivemind.

I'm honestly delighted that /v/ hates "weebs" and shitpost at people who post anime images. That just keeps more of those fags out of /a/.

>>120184521
More like stop posting cuck every chance they get and reverse trolling. This is what happens when normalfags get the mature animes they so desperately want.

>>120183925
I agree with what you're saying, but the pic is wrong, chan-8 is a completely different animal, it actually has an active and established userbase. 8/a/ is slow though.

>>120184521
/pol/ is responsible for all the fucking cuck posts in Death Parade threads. /a/ never used that word before /pol/ forced it.

>>120184337
This, /pol/'s memes are rightwing because that's what offends the most, not because they all love nazis. Anyone who tries to set up a right/left wing split against them and other boards is delusional.

>>120184375
Yeah, if it took off I'd be all for 8ch, that's really the only barrier is lack of users.

moot was a faggot, and I mean that. I really don't like him, he's a moron that did a bunch of stupid shit, not to mention he's a wannabe normie.

But he was like the dried cum that kept this place stuck together. Things will never be the same here without him.

I bet this is going to be the last straw for a lot of people. Whoever the new admin(s) is, it's bound to rub some people the wrong way. And they'll leave. Other chans will spring up, and preexisting chans will get bigger. I'm sure there will be people who stay here, but not everyone.

And anyone who tries to say this isn't a big deal or that things won't change is a moron. When other chans have gone up and been made, it's been because of stupid petty e-drama, so of course they didn't have a huge effect on the site. Something like this, a change of ownership and administration, has obviously never happened. This is a turning point in the entire site's culture, for better or for worse. From now on 4chan's history will be defined as "moot" and "post-moot". In a few years, you'll see threads where people talk about being here when moot was here, and deriding the "post-moot" newfags. I'm sure 4chan will still be around for years, but it will never be the same again. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen.

Having said all that:

It's been real niggas. I hate you all, and love you all. Every faggot on every board. Shitposters of every stripe. I'll always remember this place, and won't forget about you.

It wasn't finances, I really think it's because he ended up feeling like an outsider, he was totally out of touch with /a/ towards the end, and all the other boards for that matter. He's still only human.

I hope he doesn't kill himself or something

>>120186609
Yeah I think it's probably at least worth a look.

>>120186609
I just got into meguca a few weeks back. Doesn't seem too bad to me. They have some nice discussion and seemed welcoming.

Moe tried to kick me out when I posted lewd once though.

>>120186564
I bought a 4chan pass twice and use it to shitpost at him.

I might renew if things change with him gone and the new admins are good. Otherwise I won't bother and go to 8 in november. It is more slow but I will have more time to watch anime.

>>120186757
Is that Cent? I want to fuck the living shit out of Cent.

I think it will change, just slowly enough where you won't be able to tell the day-to-day difference. I just hope it is not too bad

>>120186779
>It is more slow but I will have more time to watch anime
I thought this at first, what actually happened was I ended up opening ~30 threads in parallel, in doing so I still have an active set of threads overall. Previously, browsing /a/ meant opening a single thread and reading that, maybe 1-3 of them per day.

>>120186757
I've been pissed since April. This is my last straw to determine if I stay or kill my'reself.

>>120176754
Well yeah, nobody said the board would disappear. But the last safeguard is gone and the usual cycle of nepotism will begin. 4chan has, at most, three years remaining before the administration staff implodes.

>>120186931
Most of the bullshit in the last year hasn't affected /a/ though, at least not yet. /a/ may be on the decline but it's still a serviceable platform for anime discussion and easily the best place for anime discussion in the west. Not to mention possibly being the best board on the site right now.

>>120186931
Anon don't do that, there are other /a/s out there even if 4chan goes down.

>>120187024
Only because of the speed

>>120187038
they are too slow

Been here since 2002, 12 years is a long time, but I was glad to visit the site, even though I don't post as much as I used to. This site is like part of me growing up. Fuck I'm such a weeb.

>>120186989

Too silly, anon.

>>120187038
The live ones are fast enough.

It's better than death. There are no replies after you die.

>>120186770
/moe/ isn't so bad as long as you can get over the fact that some of them throw fits over lewd images.

Both moe and meguca are much much smaller than anything you'll find on 4chan though. It's a completely different experience. Small boards are good in addition to /a/, but they aren't good replacements.

>>120187013
>But the last safeguard is gone and the usual cycle of nepotism will begin
I never actually thought about that, but you're right for as stubborn as he was with the userbase he was the same with the mods, nothing they said could ever influence him. It could end badly, as I recall the senior community manager was Rapeape, so we're in for a fun time.

>>120187038
>there are other /a/s out there even if 4chan goes down.
This single moderately fast off-topic thread is faster than any given one of them, and faster than almost all of them combined.

I browse about 20 threads here at a given time, and even that is slowish for me. Each one of those threads is faster than entire boards elsewhere.

That and there's no AppchanX-alike that I know of that works on other chans. I'm too comfy here, far too comfy.

>>120187075
>they are too slow
If 4chan actually dies, they'll speed up.

What? You think any of us fags will actually quit and go on with our lives? There is no escape, anon, for any of us.

>>120187077
I love this slut.

>>120187275
Fucks sakes. How long till we start hearing newfags asking 'who is moot?'?

I don't see how /a/ isn't kill.

All the oldfags left this site back in like 2009 anyways and has been replaced by a steady supply of redditors since. Moot gave up years ago, this is just him officially giving up. I would be interested to see how many people have stuck through with this site after all these years.

>>120187338
Never because the site will be dead by then.

>>120181014
Pretty certain he isn't selling it, he's just not running it at all.

I think even moot knows that there aren't very many people who can be trusted to be the "owner" of the site, and I'm willing to bet that not many of the those trustworthy, competent people even want to potentially be publicly associated with this site.

I give 4chan another 10 or 15 years, when the current generation of administrating mods will want to move on, and then the site will either actually face extinction or be unusably shit for the people who regulared here pre-2008/people who actually understand 4chan's culture and what makes it good.

>>120176754
>Check the catalog

>>120187259
Unless you like having conversations with yourself, none of them will ever be fast enough to be able to efficiently waste every day of your life browsing them 24/7 like /a/ is. They're too slow to consume your life by being massive time wasters, which means we'll be forced to do other stuff on a daily basis.

>>120187382
>All the oldfags left this site back in like 2009
Everyone has been saying the same shit way before that date.

>>120187231
>>120187231
Exactly. My fear isn't in the board suddenly dropping tomorrow. It's in a repeat of the downfall of SA, with a slow takeover of the administration staff (or a coup that takes mere minutes, happens) by replacing outgoing members with friends and cohorts. Soon they have enough cronies to do what they want with impunity and they simply mold 4chan as they see fit. Facebook integration, the end of anonposting, anything.

That's what scares me.

>>120187444
I want to know if these people will have a face or will they be completely anonymous and have no presence. I think 4chan will die if it's the latter since all the bad blood will just build up and lead to more and more shitposting. Mods should be anonymous but there is so much shit right now someone also needs to fix the relationship with the userbase before it pops.

>>120187338
Not him but, I remember the banning lolis fiasco but I didn't know the mods name. Is he really still a mod?

>>120187461
My point was you, I, and everyone else here will go there to try it out, either out of habit or desperation, and it'll slowly but surely make its way back to 4chin status. Even if we have to endure the slow migration process for a month or so.

Again, this place would have to die first though, /a/ is stubborn enough to hang around even if their chair was on fire.

>>120186757
m8, everything has changed.

This isn't some stupid e-drama that pops up once a year where people swear off 4chan and go to another chan for a few minutes before coming back (e.g. /b/ day, chanology, /pol/ and /r9k/ being deleted, gamergate, etc.) moot is leaving. 4chan will continue to exist, but 4chan as you know it is dead.

>>120187722
>you, I, and everyone else here will go there to try it out, either out of habit or desperation, and it'll slowly but surely make its way back to 4chin status
I went there out of desperation and the first thing I saw on their /a/ was how Attack on Titan was a masterpiece and how we hate it because we're "anime pros"

That and their haffchan meme makes me deeply mistrust what's clearly an undercurrent of faggotry that might not ever get fixed.

>/a/ is stubborn enough to hang around even if their chair was on fire
I don't know about you but I'm going down with the ship. Better to die a true Roman than live as a Byzantine Greek, if you catch my drift.

>>120187722
>/a/ is stubborn enough to hang around even if their chair was on fire.
I know this is off topic, but does anyone have the image of the neckbeard closing his blinds while the third impact is happening?

Welp. The captain just jumped out of the ship without even wearing a lifevest.

Do you sink or swim, /a/?

>>120187959
I'm a fish, I don't give any single fuck about that.

As long as we can keep our anonymity, this site will always have something you can't really get anywhere else. Especially with everyone wanting to integrate their Facebook with their Instagram with their yelp etc etc. 4chan is one of the few places you have to actually read a post at face value instead of judging it off a profile picture, post count or upvotes. The day we get any sort of registration system is the day it is really all over

Yeah I saw that post too, but it got deleted. Bad luck seeing that as your first experience I guess, it's not normally like that, the past day has seen a lot of shitposting.

Moot has barely been a presence here for years. Calm the fuck down and stop spamming the front page with your metashit
Yes it's sad he's gone, but it was inevitable. I'm honestly impressed he endured for this long. Being the admin of 4chan is a pretty huge burden.

>>120187461
You're either new or don't remember what it was like browsing pre-2010. And don't browse any of the slower boards.

Some of these alternative chans have boards with faster post rates than what we had here back then.

Maybe one of the "few senior volunteers" moot mentioned will step up/be chosen as the "face of 4chan".

Then again, Steve Jobs once retired from running Apple, then came when he felt like things were being too badly fucked up.
It's entirely possible that if the people running this site start to turn to actual shit after a few years, moot will come out of retirement and run things for another 5 years or so until he can find replacements that will make this site last forever. Or so I tell myself.

I'm a fucking defeatist. Wake me up when /q/ is back up again, I can feel it in my bones and it's going to be horrible.

>>120188058
>Calm the fuck down and stop spamming the front page with your metashit
Doesn't help to have komm susster todd on the front page.

>>120177754
He already has. Let's just hope the new team is less forgiving of his moderation style than moot, of whom it's said he's a personal friend.

>it'll slowly but surely make its way back to 4chin status

Maybe 30% of /a/ at most will go to 8ch/a/

Another 30% will be split and go off to other random chans like 420chan and dozens of other similar sites

20% will kill themselves

and the last 20% will move on with their lives

If 4chan dies, it's population will shatter and go in a million different directions

>>120188126
Are you implying moot is going to die from cancer as well? Hah. Just kidding. We all know he's going to off himself far before any terminal illness hits.

>>120188204
You still don't get it, with moot's retirement, Redwood just got a promotion.

>>120188070
I said what /a/ is, not what /a/ was. Nor did I say that their impossible to browse, just that it's not as easy to waste your life away on a board with 30 posts per hour.

>>120188243
What about the 90% of the rest that won't know anything about this?

>>120188114
I still check the threads page-by-page out of habit, but the catalog feature is incredibly handy and apparently a lot of people primarily use that

>>120188298
They will end up in the same state as those that stayed behind on SA, and continue to subsist like that for many years to come.

I think Anon was meaning more in terms of if the site flatly shut down tomorrow or something.

>>120188278
I'm not going to start worrying until it's confirmed that he's one of the few that got promoted. RapeApe I'm fine with. In truth, I'm fine with anyone but RW.

>>120188298
Are you trying to say that an unrestrained admin team will never ever ever make changes?

Are you on crack?

>>120188114
People still use the front page?

>>120188243
I always like to imagine that the internet will collapse into a state of anarchy once 4chan dies.

But that's a pipe dream and I know that I will never be able to take anybody with me once shit finally hits the fan.

>>120188402
Even if we get a month warning about the site dying, I can't imagine /a/ or 4chan being organized to all migrate to a single place.

>>120188243
Already spent 11 years of my life on this site, I won't be going to a new site. If I can't move on with my life, I'll probably be in the 20% that kills themselves.

Do you think moot will ever be trusted with a position of leadership again
