Why are we talking like 4chan is actually dead? It's just offline
Apparently the source code revealed a ton of insecurities that would make it all but impossible for them to relaunch without a major redesign, or at least that's what the actual coders that hang about here have said.
Yeah I'm sure that's what they'll do, but I doubt they'll just pack it up and quit
The longer they're down, the more people will migrate elsewhere, and some proportion of those won't return if/when 4chan comes back.
Oh god... Everybody hide!
Red Alert! All hands stand to battle stations, shields up, load all torpedo bays, standby phasers, warp factor 8!
And prepare the lighsabers!
My first thought EXACTLY LOL.
4chan has been the toilet of the internet for 22 years. They can stay down for months without it affecting anyone's loyalty. Their bigger issue has been the battle against spam making it harder and harder for normal users to post anonymously. Since they implemented the new captchas, activity went down hard and it basically killed a few smaller boards where the users were more casual and less motivated anyway.
There isn't really a place where you can post anonymously like 4chan though. Although they didn't allow VPNs since a few years so it's not totally anonymous anyway....
They saved every IP address.
There's a whole constellation of other, far smaller, chan sites.
I'd be floored if any of them scaled up to 4chan's size, but othrr places to post anonymously in the 4chan imageboard format are all over the place.
I'm still trying to find a link to the sauce
