Topic: Is 4chan dead forever?
Anonymous A started this discussion 1 week ago #125,665
It’s still not back up.
If it’s truly gone forever, then so is the internet of my childhood.
I’m not ready to deal with that.

Now that I think about it, this means that right now at this moment, we live in a world where 4chan does not exist.

All websites die eventually, there are many alternative imageboards anyway. We may see an imageboard rennysayance.

It was hacked by a splinter group that got banned in 2021 for raiding /lgbt/ the hackers have the dox of all the 4chan mods. They can't open up the site just yet as it can be taken down again with the same exploit

The source code leaked with the hack, so that could spur more clones too.

4 Chan operation is super costly. Bandwidth costs are ultra expensive. Was the reason the founder Moot got out of running it.

soy/qa/ actually raided several boards after the other two groups left, the jannies did absolutely jack shit about it until /lgbt/ got hit, which is so stereotypical as to threaten to cause injuries from the eye rolling.

Anyway if moot was still in charge this never would have happened. Hiro is a lazy bum who hasn’t updated the site since he purchased it except to add adware and ridiculous captchas designed to steal your info and sell it

I'd be sad to see 4chan go, but after 20 years I'm surprised it survived this long. I used to have a bunch of year one screenshots of 4chan antics, modchats, mootshoes etc, but they are lost with time. I made a thread way back when but we lost the early stuff here. Thoughts and prayers.

I think it'll limp on forever in some form. It's had too much of an impact on the world to just disappear overnight. After all, we inexplicably still have Something Awful, Slashdot, and Digg.

Digg was great until it completely imploded! Stumbleupon followed the same path but the end didn't come as violently or quickly.
4chan has outlived so many and changed so much. I still visit 4chan a few times a year, but the magic is long gone. Or maybe I've just seen all the tricks too many times? Ultimately I agree, the domain name will long outlive its community.

I've been using 4chan near-daily since 2008. It has changed a lot, but there's truly no other place like it. It's an unfiltered look into the zeitgeist. That's why I hope it doesn't truly die.

I was 3 years old in 2008 💀
Was 4chan really around back then in ancient times?
I thought the site started like in 2015 or something.

it was created way the fuck back in 2003!
... though at that time it was just an offshoot of an even older forum called somethingawful(EXTREMELY APT NAME) created in 1999, so its probably more accurate to put its actual creation somewhere between the two dates.

depending on how you want to define internet, you could go as far back as TOTSE, i think...started in 1987(though dialup bbses were around as university experiments in 1978). i personally count TOTSE as the beginning of the internet because their big thing was anarchist cookbook style retardation and various other types of shitposting. notably i think TOTSE were the crazy fuckers that discovered jenkem.

Of course it won't be gone forever. Maybe it will have new ownership. It will never disappear for good.
