What's the state of memes now?

I'm glad that moot is doing well for himself, but I still feel like 4chan is missing something without him. I hope he still browses this place from time to time.

Also those fucking butthurt 8gaggers calling him a cuck. They really like obsessing over their meme insult don't they?

>>462231
This.
Real moot ran off to Mexico in 2005.

>>462211

Is he happy?
This is important.

Why do we still care about this fag?

>Hey guys what a sellout jew cunk am i rite lets go to 7+1chan xD

Good for him. Wonder if he'll have any actual influence or if he'll just be another cog in the wheel.

I assume he probably still isn't, his work was always truly awful.

>>462285
It was tbqh, but maybe he's better in a management position.

Moot has always been a very reasonnable and even-kneeled person, and he deserves a lot of respect for that.
It's not everyone that can grow a community of tens of millions of autistic children and only ragequitting after more than a decade.

Here's to moot, who knew how to take care of a tomato garden.

mootykins was able to move on past 4chan

so why haven't you?

>>462307
The king of memes

>>462273
Well, as far as I know, a job at Google is the holy grail in the IT business, so in the end, he did quite well for himself.

inb4 a red post by Moot commenting on the situation, calling us all faggots

would he get fired for that?

>>462307
I have already been done with most of 4chan for many, many years besides /a/ and /k/.

/a/ has no remotely acceptable substitute (it's not that it's just so good, but other anime sites are just so much worse), and /k/ is both well-tempered and actually has some informative/interesting people on it who aren't there just to spam memes or provocatively shitpost (which many big boards are like and I am simply above their behavior).

Places like /pol/ and /int/ might as well be from another fucking planet to me, they are like caricatures of caricatures of what people think 4chan should be like and are inception level layers of bad.

>>462307
Nice try moot, we know it's you.

>>462323
>a job at Google is the holy grail in the IT business
Depends at what kind of position. Working for google became noticeably much worse for anyone that isn't a top-tier engineer lately.

>>462323
Kind of amazing when you think about it.

>No real web development skills

I'm happy for ya moot, you fluked your way to the top.

>>462329
Why is that? Wasn't Google the company with the slides, games, pool tables and other shit in the office, the company that encouraged every employee to start their own project that might eventually grow into a fully fledged Google service like Gmail?

>>462326
Pretty much this.
I take a yearly trip to /b/ to check if it's still shit, and it's not getting any better.

>>462326
>> /a/ has no remotely acceptable substitute
I actually decided to check out 8gags anime boards and they're all either dead or awful. All NSFW enabled too so they're filled with porndumps than anything else. Made me appreciate that /a/ was a blue board.

>>462334
>with the slides, games, pool tables and other shit in the office
Only on select areas

>the company that encouraged every employee to start their own project that might eventually grow into a fully fledged Google service like Gmail?
Now only for top-tier engineers

Regular IT people that don't have a PhD are treated pretty much the same as in any other company.

This is coming from a "friend" that works there so I'm not completely sure if it's true.

>>462307
What part of "forever" don't you understand?

>>462326
That's funny, I occasionally browse /k/ but I think it's turned into a shithole lately. /int/ still has the occasional good discussion, usually about differences in culture or daily life between different countries. Which is in my opinion the whole reason for the board, the flags add a whole different dimension to the board and they make you appreciate how varied 4chan's posters really are (when there's no 'your country is shit' shitposting).
I also like /his/, though. Best new board in a long time.

>>462345
Finding a good thread on /int/ is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You have to go through 10 pages worth of generals, pitiful "banter", meme forcing and /pol/shit before you find anything worthwhile. The good ones though are really fun, which is unfortunate since you end up a junkie wading through shit to get his dose.

Serious question: why is moot seen as some sort of visionary?

4chan became popular because of the content the users generated which moot had almost no part of. Sure it did make and host and run the site, but 4chan grew in spite of him, not because of him. He hasn't had an active part in 4chan's day to day operations for years and could never replicate its success. So I fail to see why Google would hire him unless he's working really cheap.

>>462410
He must have learned shit about managing people at least and probably regarded some of his fuckery with the site as social experiments.

I'd imagine they may have some idea of plugging him into Google+ somewhere from his expertise in dealing with huge groups of fucktards.

>>462410
He's in a unique position, nobody has done what he has done before.
Sure, it's a copy of 2chan, but it's on an entirely different scale, 4chan has had a deep worldwide impact, without everything 4chan created the Internet would probably be pretty different.

Nobody can tell if moot is a visionnary or just lucky, but just in case that makes him an interesting person.

>>462211
either we're saved as moot encourages someone high up to stop the botnet
or god has foresaken us.

i know it's the latter, but i still pray to a god who isn't listening to make it the former.

the way he talks about them like they're great people, without any hint that many of them are misguided reassures me we're already dead.

Could be worse. 4chan could have been sold to Google.

Imagine that.

>>462421
I don't know why you and everyone else is so hung up on whether or not moot is a "visionary" or did anything innovative by creaitng 4chan or whatever. You (although your post is way more reasonable than most) are missing the forest for the trees. The special thing that moot did is keep this leaky bucket of a website running and growing for 12 goddamn years despite millions of the most unruly and petulant users, barely any budget, and a small team of volunteer moderators. That's why Google is interested in him.

>>462410
This is the snake that managed to convince hundreds of unemployed idiots to volunteer for him for free, while he failed start-ups and travelled the world revelling in his fame and wealth borne of them, under the impression that he cares about anonymity and will continue running the site until it dies, only to sell up and work at google. He must have godly people/managerial skills

>>462466
Yeah, I think we agree quite violently here.
It takes some character to pull that off, and he made the right decisions a couple of times.

>>462211
Woah.

>>462467
>and wealth
I think you should look into the history of 4chan before you can claim that moot was anything that could be considered "wealthy" from 4chan. More often than not, the site was on the verge of closing down because of a lack of "wealth".

>>462467
>travelled the world revelling in his fame and wealth borne of them
HAHAHA! You mean his mother's money that was barely enough to pay the bills?
Or maybe the several donation drives that barely saved the site?
Or perhaps you think the passes that barely cover the bandwith costs (as revealed by strayamoot) are somehow making him rich?

>>462489
He got a $5m blank check for his shitty canv.as start-up, only because of his name. He was in debt for a few ten thousands in what, about 2007, back when 4chan had a 100< alexa ranking? Not much considering he turned down a $1m buy offer before then. 4chan was worth a ton of money for the majority of its life even if it wasn't turning a profit

moot is the guy who can tell some ivory tower PhD designing features for Jew+ how to handle child actress foot porn spam and which FBI agents are bros or dicks.

>>462506
>4chan was only ever worth money to uninformed outsiders
So just like Twitter, then?

>>462544
Twitter is too valuable a site for promotion. Many powerful people out there wouldn't want to see it gone.

moots biggest failure is that he couldn't make this site profitable.
If Flashback Forum can make a profit from ad-money (and have its own ad-engine) then so can 4chan.

>>462489
That's what he wants you to think while he's doing coke of a hooker's tits in Mootxico

>>462436
delet this

Hiro honestly has been better than Moot.

Moot clearly lost interest in 4chan years ago, as far back as 2009-2010 I think.

Moot then also made some questionable actions like bringing /pol/back then even egging /pol/ on to shitpost everywhere in his QAs, I honestly think Moot hated 4chan.

Also too slow in adding new board and his new board choices were...questionable to say the least.

>>462593
Well he probably is now, with all that Google money coming in.

/pol/, /biz/, /vr/ etc etc

Not saying this boards shouldn't exist, but nobody asked for them. /biz/ was created for bitcoin speculation, /vr/ I think has taken too much discussion away from /v/ as well, /pol/ was just a mistake on every level.

He never added /his/ as well, which has been the most requested board on 4chan in the decade I've been here. I've seen numerous threads requesting /his/ since 2005.

>>462410
What made him so special is that he was running a large anonymous "social media" website while everyone else doing something in social media was figuring out ways to make you less anonymous (ie: real name policies).

>>462610
>Not saying this boards shouldn't exist, but nobody asked for them
Can we stop with this stupid revisionist history? People were asking for most of those boards for years, /pol/ included.

>>462611
What use is that to Google though? They're certainly not interested in the privacy or anonymity of their users.

>>462610
I'll give you /pol/, but /biz/ was really a good riddance for the billions of bitcoin threads that were spamming /g/, and /vr/ was an attempt, not perfect, but actually okay in the end.

I've always though /his/ would turn into a complete failure after a month, but surprisingly it's doing fine, so props to hiro.

>>462613
The only people who were asking for /pol/ were /new/ refugees and maybe the small boards they tried to take over..

M00tikins had a bizarre love affair with /pol/ because /pol/ became memecentral and m00t loves memes. He didn't care they were shitposting everywhere because so many dank memes were coming from the board.
He basically said this himself when he fucked around with /pol/ for a week, he said he wanted /pol/ too stop being so serious and too have fun.

Doesn't help /pol/ turned on M00ticoon and started doxing him and girls he knew.

No doubt in my mind it was Fappening, Gamergate and M00t and his friends being targeted by /pol/ which caused him too leave.

>>462614
People at companies hire their friends. moot probably has friends at google, so they hire him.
The easiest way to get a job is thrugh friends. That's why I'm unemployed.

>>462616
/vr/ was a terrible decision. It was the final nail in the coffin of /v/, forever banishing the last decent threads off the board.

>>462619
moot wanted everyone to have fun, but he was so bad at communicating he just left 4chan turn into autism

>>462622
Well, I'm not a /v/ regular I only peek at the catalog from times to times, but like all big boards, it's been shit for a long time.

>>462618
How in the hell would you know? I certainly wasn't the only one emailing him repeatedly asking for a new news board since he got rid of /n/ as a news board in 2006.

To some extent, neither is 4chan, since mods can see your post history.

Maybe just having him there with his views on identities and anonymity might make google plus... better somehow? It seems like he'll just be a meme specialist there imo.

>>462667

4chan is the most anonymous place on the Internet these days, maybe excluding edgy Onion sites.

>>462622
/v/ was already a sinking ship, /vr/ was the last lifeboat off the titanic.

>>462619
moot wasn't worried about the last two. The fappening was the big one because it caused serious lawyers to threaten him with legal action, and getting sued was something he really did worry about.

>>462681
A metric fuckton of people threatened to sue moot. There's a bomber, a murderer or a mass shooter every other month. Hal Turner sued 4chan. The Sarah Palin email dragged moot to court. Legal trouble was nothing new.
It's not the Fappening, not by itself. The real cause is just plain old burnout. Look at the frequency of news posts. For the past years it's been nothing but 4chan birthdays. He just couldn't give a shit about the site anymore.

>>462692
This is the reality, moot just grew bored of it. It's human nature, after >10 years doing the same thing, you gotta move on.

This is assuming he's working on Google+ and not some new project.

>>462709
Considering google+ is fighting against facebook, and google is fighting for security, maybe Google is going to try to draw market share away from Facebook by announcing that they're going to make the whole "Circles" thing into a Prismatic Identity system whereby you can have multiple names, one for your family, one for your friends, one for your coworkers, one for your raunchy fetishes, and they're bringing on Mootles as a "Smart Kid" idea guy big picture fucker for it.

The actual, original moot was abducted by schoolgirl dressed NSA agents during a karaoke rendition of Utada Hikaru's "Simple and Clean" at an anime convention in 2011.

He was seriptitiously replaced by a project created by DARPA and the IDGA MEM-12X "mootbot" memetic replicate prototype. The objective: To train the next generation of computer agumented memetic warriors for future anticipated conflicts in the memosphere.

Unfortunately his IFF recognizer became damaged during a heavy idiomatic bombardment during the SJW vs Neckbeard conflict we now call "Gamergate". This critically rendered him unable to recognize dangerous levels of streisand eigenvectors buliding up in the memosphere. So he needed to be recalled and refitted.

The actual moot is still working with protomemetic rap warriors from the 90's, Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur, to keep the world safe from enemies, and furries.

And let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that moot doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. moot is undertaking a systematic effort to change social networking, to make Anonymous more like the rest of the world.

>>462773
Anonymity is a matter of degrees and certainty, Anon. The system you propose is several degrees less anonymous than (for example) having multiple google accounts with different names. Sure, the IP is the same, if you're lazy even the useragent would be the same between accounts - but even that's no guarantee they're the same person (and not two different people on the same wi-fi connection with a similar type of laptop in default configuration.

>>462773
>>462787
All they'd need to do to reach acceptable levels is to drop the "must use your real name" and valid cell phone number requirements on account creation.

Then you could use whatever name and identity you want and the level of info they get on you would really be no worse than what any other site gets that you log into. (You can just block google analytics)

>>462770
it does have some pretty fun boards, like [spoiler]furry[/spoiler] and /cow/
>And all anyone from that site does is try to convince people here of how shit 4chan is
on the contrary, in my view it's inferior to 4chan in every way except that users can make their own boards, which is it's unique positive. (i don't believe 4chan would benefit from such a feature, however.)

to me it's always felt like it slowed down quite a lot once the board toplist was removed from the default - granted, there were problems with this (how does any system of free competition between boards to stop shitty moderation compete with a constant influx of new users via the toplist?), but the reduction in speed almost feels worse than that tradeoff (it's worth noting none of the boards i use currently have significant rifts, though.)

on the other hand, i kind of liked finding disjointed collections of unique imageboards, now quite a lot of them are just a single board on -chan instead of their own site which sucks.

>>462792
>All they'd need to do to reach acceptable levels is to drop the "must use your real name" and valid cell phone number requirements on account creation.
Neither of those apply too strictly already (I've made accounts without cell + fake but plausible names)

It's an undercover inside job guys

Maybe he's putting anonymity into Google.

I wonder what moot thinks knowing that there's hundreds of people talking about his career right now. I hope he still thinks about us

>>462874
He said he'd still be coming here as an anon and that he was just stepping down from management.

I'm not sure how true that is or anything, but I know that if I just walked away from a community that apparently meant a lot to me for even a few years of the 10 long years I was running it, and anything I did was being written about in various online articles I would definitely drop by to see what people were saying.

There's a decent chance he's checked out this thread.

>>462873
Literally LITERALLY impossible. Not even an exaggeration. Google mines and sells your data. That is all they do, it is all they have ever done, it is nearly 100% of their business model. There is absolutely zero chance of privacy within a google product. None.

>>462888
One of the reasons moot got fed up with 4chan after Gamergate / Fappening is because he was trying to leave 4chan and live his real life, and suddenly he saw it show up on the front page of the New York Times and kick his ass back here.

>>462889
>Google mines and sells your data.
Google only really sells your data to its own advertising division.

Remember how nice this board was when it was made and everyone was saying goodbye and celebrating the times and memories we shared on 4chan? Can we do to that again for one more thread?

I miss the map threads. this board was my favorite before the hiroshimoot q&a

>>462587
That's the problem, this site is too notorious to attract legit ads by big companies. No regular company wants his name attached to 4chan.

>>462900
You can't pretend to respect the anonymity and privacy of your users while simultaneously mining their data and creating profiles of them, specifically for serving ads to them.
Even Google knows that.

>>462936
I was just nitpicking the "selling data" thing.

This goes on the line of his behavior since the very beginning of 4chan.
You were just blinded by dank memes, specially /a/.

moot has talked a lot about how twitter is better than facebook and google plus because it allows people to use their own handles and shit. google plus probably wants his advice on how to verify people are real by making them sign up with real names but then allow them to create profiles for their different interests and shit that don't show their real name.

remember how AIM allowed you to link screennames so you could be on multiple accounts at once? they probably want to do something like that where you can sign in and have a few accounts that don't show theyre connected so you can be more yourself in the different communities you talk to

>>462436

"Degrade our humanity"
moot would know better than most of you. Deep inside, he knows the average person on 4chan isn't any better.

Such unbelievably awful people, that dare claim they are better than other awful people. "The way in which I'm awful is morally greater than your specific brand!"
I hate so many of you more than you could possibly imagine. A seething, burning, piercing dislike of the stupid kids and young adults that somehow think they all have it figured out, when they are in fact the problem with the modern world. The nerve to throw the word 'degenerate' around when they themselves, are the degenerates. And they go on thinking they are above people that aren't very different from themselves.

Hypocrisy is the primary name of the average 4chan user's game. And I hate most of you so much for it. You are trash, 4chan. And most good people will see straight through your bullshit.

I will end this post on a very slight positive note: The very, very few people on 4chan that are consistently good, are usually genuinely good.

Of course the Tor Project would say the threat isn't real. It would be a major embarrassment to them. To some extent it already is. For anonymous sharing of documents, like leaks, Freenet is mathematically superior, but that comes at a major performance cost, and hence isn't as widely used.

Yes, that about describes how I feel about 4chan. At least I can vaguely scream about some things on /qa/.

You guys don't get it. I hate so many of you with the burning of 100 stars. A genuine dislike of most of you, only to stay because of this being my only real social interaction, as well as really liking a few select individuals I run into once in a while. Odd that 4chan of all places taught me one or two important things...

>>462955
I can guarantee that moot knows well the massive hypocrisy of the average 4chan user.

>>462962
>average 4chan user
I don't think such a thing actually exists, it's an ideal or a stereotype, kind of like "the average American" or "the average smart-phone owner".

>>462956
>and hence isn't as widely used.
Which makes it much more vulnerable than any other more popular network.

>>462341
>Made me appreciate that /a/ was a blue board.
Well, moot has always been pretty vocal about how boards shouldn't be swimming in porn. Give people a inch and they take a yard. /a/'s current state in this rule regard is pretty much the equal balance for it.

>>462410
>why is moot seen as some sort of visionary?
He's not. He is most likely be jammed into a manager or social media position. Regardless of the fact that most of the work was done by the users, no one else has built a website like 4chan and done the things he has and have a site that has had a insanely massive influence on modern society and the global internet culture. Simply having his name on something will make people flock to it for better or worse. Canv.as doesn't count. On-top of all that, he also ran this fucking userbase and tolerated it. It was until a little after Chanology that he truly started to crack and even then he still managed to deal with it and even still tried to reach out to the userbase (/q/). Even if the reach was one of the worst things that ever happened to the site.

It isn't about him being a visionary and shit and more of the fact moot is an incredibly valuable asset. Even if his value came from sheer luck.

>>462965
Exactly. The expected attitude of a user on 4chan. Some do their best to uphold the cancerous standard that /b/ so warmly welcomes. I don't rightly know if it's genuinely bad people, or if they only do it to uphold an edgy reputation, if it's a lack of self-control, or a combination of all these things. All I know is that there are absolutely awful people here that I can almost swear actively work against me in particular. Am I wrong? Probably. But that doesn't change the fact that there are absolutely awful people on 4chan. People that make it as unpleasant as possible for me. Everyone says they're here forever, but they most likely have not felt unjustly pushed so very often as I have. It's one thing when you simply dislike something, it's another altogether when you feel actively and aggressively pushed out of a place you don't exactly WANT to hate.

>>462946
There was never any backstab during GG, you stupid niGGer. You guys were never welcomed here in the first place. Activism is against the rules. Go cry on your 'we are better' website despite it falling apart.

You know moot's probably just an SRE or something. Google tends to hire people and then put them in worthless positions.

Settle down, Scoobert Doobert. The only board I use that's truly been ruined over time is /tv/, and I'd say that that was the normal people who did that.

"No activism" has never been a hard-and-fast rule, but it historically goes against the lighthearted, lulz-oriented nature of the site. Hence why no one likes /pol/: they've stopped being funny or entertaining and are now just grating and occasionally scary.

>>462980
Fuck off 'im a actual a newfag and only used the rest of the site because of gg' retard commander. The no activism that was put in place after chanology doesn't go against any of the sites nature as activism itself has always gone against the lighthearted culture the site has.

Stop tripping as well, cancer.

Not to go all tinfoil, but I don't think this just happened today.

I think this happened a year ago and we're just now hearing about it.
I refuse to believe the fappening and gooberpoober were the only reasons for his departure.

He sold out a year ago and lied about it until now.

>>462980
Plenty of people like /pol/. You just have shit taste.

Also, there is more activism on /v/ in a day than there is on /pol/ in a week.

>>462989
I could buy that. It's not too far-fetched.

>>462989
>I refuse to believe the fappening and gooberpoober were the only reasons for his departure.
The fappening and niGGers were the straw on the camels back, anon. This was something long coming since chanology. Most people just assumed he was just going to pack all the bags up and shut the site down.

If anything, /q/ was probably one of the biggest contributors seeing how it was just a giant shitfest and is pretty much the biggest reason the site went to shit.

>>462979
You're mocking me, aren't you?
>I can't imagine that they're worse than the excited 12 year olds who spawned the ultimate cancer that is 'JUST.'
Excited 12 year olds is exactly what makes up a decent portion of /v's userbase. And what does /v/ do? What does /v/ not do? A combination of all manners of stupidity, and "lightheartedness" to the point of only looking retarded and offensive.

>>462984
First of all, I've been on the site since 2009, first of all. Second, I started browsing more of the site for a number of reasons, one being my growing interest in animu, second being the Baltimore riots. GG only factored into it because I kept seeing people say "fuck off to /pol/" whenever the subject came up. I was actually mostly unaware of GG until an IRL meeting near its tail end. I was really too tied up with school to give a shit about vidya games.

But enough blogshitting. I'm here, and I'm not going away. Be glad I identify myself so autists like you can filter me.

>>462990
/pol/ is a newer development. Even Chanology was mocked as taking things too seriously. Earlier raids had either been purely for fun, or were against soft targets that directly threatened the site (or cats) and folded easily. The Co$ was, of course, big enough to take the pressure, and so the saga ended up getting prolonged into oblivion.

>>462993
/v/ has a relatively steady and actually somewhat enforced board culture so it's cool. /tv/ was completely reshaped after Baneposting became big, but /v/ is always more or less /v/. Things like 'LOL' threads that always turn into Junji Ito dumps might seem retarded but I think they're good. They keep things together. And the aggressive 'everything is shit' mindset is important too. Without exclusion and intolerance newfags can't be kept in check.

>>462996
>first of all ... first of all
derp. I'm tired, both in general, and from dealing with dis shittu.

>>462992
Fuck man I remember the first day on /q/ being the greatest moments the site had for years. That big nostalgia trip thread we had made me really hopeful for the future.

Where did it all go so wrong?

And more importantly, how did we let the same thing happen again to our comfy little /qa/.

What a load of shit.
This hate meme is what attracts all those newniggers that want think they fit in if they shit onto everything nonstop.

>>463004
That's a problem, but it's better than new people thinking whatever they want is tolerated.

Look at /lit/, that place loosened up, then got a science-fiction and fantasy general, and now it's an utter shithole.

>>462974
You'd probably hate me but the fact you feel so passionately about this makes me glad to share this space with people like you. Hope things get better anon.

>>463001
>Where did it all go so wrong?
When people realized it was faster to complain on /q/ to get things deleted rather than using the report button and trolls using these threads to find new ways to anger particular boards.

The new banners contest threads were really good, though.

>>463006
/v/ was better when the hivemind wasnt all about hating shit.

The board only grew ever since they adopted this shit and now everybody is a newfag.
There is nothing good about /v/s current attitude.

>>462996
> I've been on the site since 2009
No you haven't.

No you didn't. You have already admitted you used more boards than /b/ because of GG. You are literally, LITERALLY what is wrong with retards and new users. You left /b/ because of big event, but instead of lurking, you adapted a trip, posting on every board like a retard, when a board with a established culture disagreed with you, you came right to /qa/ and DEMANDED that it change to cater to your retarded whims, spout what you think is the truth despite the fact you probably just read ED, still being in your retard /b/tard stage, being a le haxor anonmouse shit. You post on fucking /a/ acting like a crossborder and then spout crossborder shit, treat SAO like its some fucking masterpiece and get upset when people say otherwise and have the fucking balls to tell others to lurk moar when you have literally refused to do so yourself and instead demanded the culture change to you. You are nothing more than a shitposter and a big collection of what is wrong with modern 4chan users.

>>462998
>And the aggressive 'everything is shit' mindset is important too
Fuck off, that is one of the biggest reasons why /v/ is so bad. Combo it with the 'us vs them' mentality and you have the reason /v/ became the biggest shitfest on the site. /v/ermin are still trying to force their 'everything is shit' garbage on /a/ as well which heavily collides with old /a/ culture. Fuck you.

>>462998
>relatively steady and actually somewhat enforced board culture
Steady stupidity is nothing to be proud of.

>Without exclusion and intolerance newfags can't be kept in check.
They won't be kept in check anyway. I've seen the rise and fall of nice things due to utter incompetence and the lack of actual caring about the topic at hand. /v/ is newfags. It is the gate to 4chan now, and has been for a while. People come here to act like absolute idiots. There's a point where 'banter' is no longer an accurate word. It just becomes a group of idiots rolling in their own feces.

I think they were definitely catalysts for him pursuing outside work, but I also don't think he would tell us if google hired him.

He seemed like he was hiding something big in those final moments there. Something was just off.

If he were hired by google, would he really be so open as to say so?
This is a man who kept his identity secret for years, bear in mind, so he's no stranger to hiding things from us.

You aren't going to prove shit and the fact you even thought you could only serves to show how fucking new you are. Posting old filenames isn't going to do anything and I can assure you I can post anything older than whatever shit you have. It doesn't even matter if you truly came here at 2009, you are still a newfag because you act like one, cockwank. The fact you came to /qa/ to bitch that /a/ didn't want your shitty dub and toonami threads and demand they be allowed has only solidified how cancerous you are.

>>463020
Well okay then that settles it I guess.

I'm not some hyperparanoid asshole who'd say moot intentionally planted that post to dissuade anybody trying to dig deeper.

I mean, that's OBVIOUSLY what happened, of course.

Well technically you haven't been "done" with 4chan if you've been using its boards.

>>462605
[s4s] outstayed its welcome and /mlp/'s only around because the mods are too scared to actually try and change R15's rules, and both boards are shit or have gone to shit in the long run despite the community the latter has.

>>462770
>>462794
I always felt like 8board would've been better off not trying to be the new 4chan as it was evident that their better boards were ones not based on our legacy boards.

Also there was probably some power struggle with people constantly wanting to be moderators and fighting their older boards by making their own boards with the blackjack and the hookers, causing stagnation as the site looks like an unsuccessful /vg/.

>>462211
Good news for him. I literally just signed up for the military this morning lol.

>>463041
Huh. I thought google had *saved* its facebook destroyer by forcing it on youtube accounts.

>>463047
>>463041
Honestly I think if moot is doing anything social media related, he's in charge of corralling up the moderation staff.

That was his only noteworthy trait here in the grand scheme of things.
He didn't come up with the ideas himself, he didn't get there first, and he didn't even implement them particularly well.

But damn son if he couldn't moderate a million users all by himself.

On the bright side, he's not entirely poor anymore. On the other hand, he's probably getting more ridiculed for joining a corporate giant.

>>463053
really though, how prestigious was his standing as the founder and owner of 4chan? Going to Google isn't exactly a fall from grace. I'd rather be ridiculed for selling out instead of interrogated by the FBI every time a murder gets posted on /b/.

>>463054
I want to be happy for him, I really do.
I want nothing more than for him to have a prosperous, successful life.

So why am I so upset right now.

>>463054
Wasn't /b/ turned into a honeypot though or was that just a meme? Either way, I'm glad he's moving on with his life. I actually thought he was going to be a neet.

>>463055
Well, it's google. Chances are it felt like someone you knew decided to become a mayor in some town you know is full of a different kind of scum you're used to.

>>463055
I get what you mean, it doesn't feel right. I kind of got it in my head that moot's supposed to be a hero of the cool parts of the internet and now he's gone as mainstream as it gets. It's like if Derek Jarman directed Star Wars VII.

So called "genre" fiction was perfectly acceptable until undergrad /mu/ & /tv/ pseudohipsters invaded in 2012.

In 2011 if you said pleb or patrician on /lit/ youd get ten replies telling you to fuck off. Look at it now. for fucks sake we even had newfags that actually liked Tao Lin unironically because the joke was lost on them.
As for /v/ I was part of a mass exodus in 09 because we were sick of the new pissy attitude "culture" making objective game discussion impossible

He knows he is a major hypocrite, but has decided to go with the flow because of his probable mediocre financial situation. That comment about Google being a great company is probably extremely tongue and cheek.

He is a 27-28 man right now, and hasn't succeeded in any great way(in terms of finances). He produced 2 startups which both bombed/failed to produce anything worthwhile, and accidentally created the largest imageboard in the Western hemisphere.

Good for moot because it means he's finally actually getting somewhere with his life instead of being the anonymouse haxos pedophile master, but, this still doesn't feel right or sit well with me. moot of all people joining up with google just doesn't feel right.

Hiroyuki, 4chan is fucked. Please help. I think if you were to consider any of these points you could seriously improve the quality of discourse site-wide.

>0
For god's sake get the mods to actually do their jobs, I've seen way too much porn posted on blue boards this week. And I think that /tv/'s moderation might need a complete purge, they're awful.

>1
Split /tv/ into /film/ and /tv/ to slow the board speed down so that actual discussion can take place. Too many people treat the place like a second /b/ with a vague movie theme.

>2
Bring doubles back to /v/, I think the removal never solved anything.

>3
Admit atrocities were committed at Nanking.

>>463189
>4
Also, I'd consider filtering the word 'Reddit.' It's a total thread-killer.

>>463189
Why would you ever start a list from 0?

Other than that, I agree

>>463190
It already is on most boards except /qa/.

>>463191
Zero is so important that it gets a special place in the list. I think that good moderation can help this site more than anything else we could ever think of.

>>463192
Really? It still feels like one of the most common words I see on this site. Always discussions are getting killed by some variation of 'Reddit.' Maybe I spend too much time on /tv/ and that's skewed my perception though.

>>463176
Posts like yours are why Hiro doesnt post
Fucking STOP IT
Theres a feedback option and a Report button

>>463190
Stop asking for this for fuck sakes. It was done before and it did nothing and it is still going to do nothing. Whether you spam or word filter it, it isn't going to do anything. Just fucking report people abusing it and stop taking the bait fucking everytime. People using it as a goto insult like everything else isn't the problem, its people who take the bait every time and derail entire threads. If its going to be filtered, the only thing it should be filtered to is 'lurk moar' because that's fucking funny and has a nice sense of irony to it.

>Split /tv/ into /film/ and /tv/ to slow the board speed down so that actual discussion can take place
This one is also stupid and pointless. Splitting it won't ever slow them down and if anything only make shitposting worse. You want smarter moderation, not doubling the work load by giving idiots their own spaces.

>>463197
>People never cried at moot this way
People did it just wasn't as much. Most people knew bitching about stupid shit and requesting stupid shit was pointless as moot would just laugh at you, call you a stupid faggot and then publically ban you for the fun of it. People think if they scream loud enough, hiro would listen and follow through with their really really stupid ideas. It'd be nice if he didn't and instead posted on boards that isn't /qa/ and attempted to communicate with userbase that isn't the small meta board filled with a small part of the global userbase that have no idea what they are talking about.

>>463213
It's not that easy doing everything the userbase asks it to because of conflict of interest and experimentation.

>>463213
Nothing in 'admin' or 'owner' says he actually has to give two fucks, spiderfag.

>>463220
Not him, what exactly are the benefits of owning 4chan if you don't have a personal interest in how well the community is doing? Does this place actually make Hiroyuki money?

Hiroyuki, could you please answer me? You don't have to but I'm curious.

>>463222
If it breaks even enough that it makes him even an extra $50 a month then it's worth it, considering all the hundreds of thousands of people who depend on it, right?

>>463222
There isn't any. There is literally 0 positives to owning 4chan and only negatives. You can't profit from 4chan in anyway, its simply impossible. From what I've gathered, Hiro just simply thought the community should keep going. He seems to be the type that doesn't interact with the community and rather lets the community and mods run itself. Which, I'd personally agree with, forums with admins and mods ruling everything with a iron fist and making themselves e-celebs thinking themselves important are fucking shit. But, 4chan is honestly in a state were it needs an admin interacting with it more than ever. Not making changes, just simply interacting and communicating with the boards and the userbase. We are on a pretty big boiling point at the moment and Hiro just simply talking to users semi-actively outside of /qa/ would mostly resolve it.

Don't compared GG to Chanology, you fucking newfag.

There is a thread about your shota bunny boy persona on /cm/. You should check it out sometimes. :3c

Also moot is a fucking faggot. Remove the thread IDs and flags from /pol/ since they were implemented at a time when moot decided to treat it like the random board. moot had already admitted on the Q&A that he loathes politics. The board currently is a result of his failure of understanding the board's main topic.

/int/ is an adopted board from krautchan m8. It's culture is radically different from the rest of the site's, or was, many people have taken a liking to them.

It's like an acquired taste. You take some time to appreciate it

>>463283
Well to be fair, it isn't that he's a /cm/-/pol/ crossposter that surprises me, it's that he's openly admitting it on /qa/...

>>463287
>openly admitting it as an anonymous poster
wow really surprising stuff?

>>462410
moot was the first guy to notice 2chan's structure as unique and brought it over the seas.

He then, together with a group of faggots, went one step ahead than the east and devised the whole ideology of anonymity and ephemerality.

That's vision - it doesn't need to be good.

>>463289
Are you kidding? In any standard 'delete /pol/' thread on /qa/ that bait would be guaranteed at least 50 replies.

>>463287
>it's that he's openly admitting it on /qa/...
Next you'll be surprised by random people asking for a loli board here.

>>463287
not him, but as long as you know in what board you are when you post, there is literally nothing wrong with crossboarding. I have been either one time or the other a frequent poster of at least 10 boards, but I wouldn´t bring shit from other boards to where it doesn´t belong

>>463292
Naah, I've been to >>>/f/ before, unlike the people who make those threads.

>>463277
/a/ is the third biggest board, after /b/ and /v/
Do you seriously not realize that there are like 20 weeb boards on 4chan?

Excluding /b/, the biggest boards have a huge amount of weebs, too. (/g/, /v/, etc) and many smaller boards have significant weeaboo communities even if they are not about anime (/k/ for example).

And anyway, this is and will always be an anime imageboard. It's what it was created for and nothing has changed that.
In fact you could say that every other board is just a place for weebs to discuss things other than anime.
That was the intention anyway. As time progressed the communities separated more and more so now not everything is about anime.
Still, it's pervasive to the whole website.

>>463294
You're right, there is nothing wrong with crossboarding. But openly admitting that you crossboard /pol/ with anything is exactly what the people who make the 'delete /pol/' threads want to see to support their 'pol is raiding my home board!' arguments.

tl;dr it's fine bait

>>462770
basically:

- 100+ communities from all treads of anonymity (even leftovers from 2006) and beyond
- porn boards
- "core" 8ch boards where brennan stomps, these are the guys who are constantly harping over 8ch > 4chan
- gamergate remmants
- /pol/ & family

The first point is really the biggest seller of 8ch. You can find your own niche. Then there's the core 8ch stuff that's really toxic

I posted on /cm/ before /pol/ existed. /pol/ was also majority female in the earlier years but no one wants to admit it because it attracts attention whores and /b/tards. The only confirmation I remember is an old thread where someone asks the anons' gender and there was a fair bit of discussion about not flirting with the /pol/ users and then saging. But it could be that the thread was off-topic and belonged on /soc/.

I'll (timidly) take a middle road: yes, the site was established by a weeb for weebs, so people can't really freak out every time they see some of it posted on other boards.
On the other hand, it's dumb to derail a thread with it precisely to annoy people; that's obviously shitposting. Personally, I don't hesitate to post the occasional anime/manga related pic or two, at most. Anything more than that risks derailing the thread.

>>462257
>no reason to like or dislike him.

You've obviously never seen a huge community website run into the ground, then. moot deserves a huge amount of credit for keeping 4chan relatively unchanged and being an advocate of the community. 4chan wouldn't be what it is today if not for him.

You may not be old enough to remember sites like SomethingAwful and YTMND. Digg is a more recent example albeit less similar to 4chan, but site admins can definitely destroy entire websites by trying to cash in on them in ways that generate backlash. moot was always very principled and in-touch with the actual 4chan community.

True he gets a lot of hate from GG faggots but they're the vocal minority and most of 4chan doesn't want those faggots shitting up our boards.

Well I main /a/ so most of my reaction pictures just happen to be anime. I like adding images to posts because I think the mix of text and image replies is part of what makes 4chan threads fun to browse.

I also just enjoy anime reaction pictures and it makes 4chan feel more 4channy.

That having been said, I know some boards have their own cultural norms about what kind of images you tend to post. /sp/ and /tv/ for instance have tons of board-appropriate images that you can use without flagging yourself as an outsider. So I can see it being frowned upon to post anime images on those boards for the same reason using non-anime images on /a/ tends to be looked upon poorly. It also flags you as an outsider if your only reaction image is something from /a/ instead of being from the board you're on.

So the solution: just try to lurk a little on a board, start a folder of images for /sp/ and /co/ and /mu/ and /tv/ and whatever other board, and use those when you post there. It generally makes a board feel more uniform and keeps anons from standing out too much.

I don't think it would be right to ban people for simply being stupid. You'd have to ban most people on 4chan if that were the case! They would need to be frequently aggressive (posting it many times) and offensive to be ban worthy in my eyes. As long as they keep going the way they are now, they can be annoying and "scare" Hiro away.

>>463410
It's not. 4chan IS an anime imageboard, in case you have not noticed.
And no, the anime boards don't exist to "keep anime" away from the rest of 4chan.
Anime is okay anywhere.
Just the main topic of each board is different.
4chan is a website for weeaboos.
Non-anime boards are just boards for weebs to discuss other things. They might as well be renamed anime and x, where x is the board topic.
Ex: anime and technology, anime and business etc.
But anyway, this is absolutely an anime imageboard. Have you not noticed how the one fanbase you find absolutely everywhere here is weebs? How the mascot and even the fucking logo are inspired by a manga? How it was created as a place for moot to share hentai with his friends? How weeb stuff has more boards than anything else?

>>463475
where do you weebs come up with this stuff?

do you even post on other boards? have you ever not seen anime posts and threads deleted as a matter of course for being off topic on other boards?

>>463479
*not ever

>>463299
Source? I call bullshit.
Is this based on post number or actual users?

>>463479
I am sorry that you are this new.
Moot himself stated that it is not wrong to post anime on any board last year.
Of course that does not mean you can derail a thread but that has nothing to do with anime.
>have you ever not seen anime posts and threads deleted
I have seen lots of things being deleted that were not even against the rules.
Mods are fags and that is well known

>>463483
I'm not new and what moot said doesn't matter anymore. I could have predicted you'd say that however because you're one of the cookiecutter /qa/ weebs stuck in 2005 who thinks this is still an anime website (p.s. it wasn't 'last year', it was 2014, I've seen the screenshots you keep posting like they prove something). I invite you to go to any of the more popular boards than /a/ and make a bunch of anime threads repeatedly so you can come back here and challenge the ban you will receive.

>>463481
Not that guy, but I've been seeing that graph for a year now. It's at least that old. IIRC It's based on all 4chan posts archived by one of the 3rd party sites that gets them all, I forget which one.

I never said that was acceptable, unless it is also on topic with the board, and neither did moot.
>(p.s. it wasn't 'last year', it was 2014
No, it wasn't. See this is why I am calling you a newfag.
Yes, moot might have said that before.
However I was referring to his last stream which was last year.
The fact that you are so new actually surprises me.
