>sharty is down too rn ffs I need the source code blud also this event is overall bad because it makes soycucks happy It doesn't feel bad though, maybe it's because the 4chan mods were so bad
The voice has a middle upper class white woman tone to it, tranny voices are easy to notice even if they feminize it, Im afraid the soytroon is mistaken. Nothing ever happens.
>>320135 Bros it's actually over, this is the missed opportunity of a lifetime... I wouldn't have had any use for the source code though I assume. The op ghosted after dropping his email because someone bought that shit 💔 This was the only part of the source code that got leaked https://files.catbox.moe/c873zn.php
>>320155 Depending on if the hacker left a backdoor for future raids or what the buyfag intends to do with this info, we might see more incidents like this in the future. I feel like it's going to take more than 3-6 hours to implement stuff to prevent this incident from happening again.

Fuuuuck my touhou synthesizer thread on /jp/ got slid because i didn't check it but it got some interesting replies and now the shartards griefed the website
>>320182 we should put new incoming ip addresses into a buffer board, where a team of otaku scientists (me) test the aryanism of the user before they are allowed into the main boards.
>>320197 I married a woman believed it or not. he was always wearing dresses, growing her hair long and wanting me to fuck her. that 100% tranny behaviour and thus GAY as FUCK. >>320199 more bant1 x bant2 dimensional merges - now with extra british catgirls.
>>320204 I must correctly myself, 19 of the 20 remaining /bant/elopes would be over 30 years of age by now and to add even further most of the discord mafia members would now be in their mid to late 20s. that sounds a feel I didn’t want to feel.
>>320206 in a link on bant1 in 2023. I’m the aussie who posted test in the sticky. I’ve been here lurking and watching for years. I just don’t come out unless there’s a happening or if the other aussie is around.
on one hand my biggest time waster is gone so it's time to triple down on career. on the other hand the eternal manbaby site finally made sure nobody could have nice things. not completely sure how to feel about this yet
>>320233 Catastrophe causes paranoia so 4chan will probably become worse, maybe super third world people like gachaturds will switch to sharty though lmao
To be desu I'm gonna miss /jp/, /int/, /bant/ and /his/. Where the fuck I'm supposed to go and shitpost anonymously? Should I finally become a functional member of society?
I was excited when I heard /qa/ was back but I immediately lost all interest when I heard it was a hack. What's the point? Just gonna get nothinburgered in a week
https://www.nydailynews.com/2025/04/15/4chan-hacked-down-soyjak-party/ > Hackers take credit for attacking 4chan platform > A hacker collective calling itself the Soyjak Party claimed late Monday night it had infiltrated 4chan’s systems and could leak coding information from the site and personal information about its staff. > “Tonight has been a very special night for many of us at the soyjak party,” the alleged hackers posted on their own site.
We really do live in the bad timeline There's a very real possibility 4chan slides into obscurity and the sharty overtakes it as the primary imageboard. We need a cultural reset to the 2010s NOW We need a technological reset to the 2010s NOW We need to illegalize soyjaks but Trump will never do that because something about Elon Musk makes me think he is active on the sharty
>>320268 It was said sardonically, 4chan has much higher numbers lole Although the sharty has much broader appeal among normies methinks so it might become the most prevalent in society
>>320278 My bestie met him irl and he's not a troon lmao, I'm not supposed to mention it but he accidentally uploaded cp to qa instead of a soyjak 4 years ago while on vacation in the usa and he flew back before the authorities could investigate it
>>320278 Is there any information about the jannies running /jp/? I want to know who was the faggot subhuman protecting his fellow subhumans in the blacked NTR thread.
>>320285 I want to know about it too. But until now there is no info about which boards each of the jannies doxxed worked on. But there has been some pics with a list of jannies and each board they moderate which was based on a trooncord screenshot from what supposedly was a janny server. Some jannies were also doxxed a long time before this happening, like the /s4s/ janny. These pics were posted by some shizos time to time in some 4chan boards when the discussions got too heated and the janny started to go apeshit, but that's of no use as I think that particular janny is a new one (/jp/ started to get really shittier than normal since the second half of the last year) and these pics are outdated.
>>320291 based, do we have their personal social media? I want to annoy the faggots, I will not tolerate the Seija slander, I want to have the head of that one faggot spamming blacked cuck Seija shit on a silver platter
>>320279 >>320278 >>320282 actually this got triple deboonked and the github account is completely unrelated, rw internet sphere people are retarded as shit and should all be castrated
>>320266 if musk knew about sharty he would post cobsons on his twitter which will happen sooner or later because he has permanent middle age crisis and wants to be cool and hip
>>320307 really think it's gonna come back? having to moderate a place where you get personal info dropped every time you try to do your job sounds pretty rough.
>>320318 after watching the youtube breakdowns, probably not until after they replace all the outdated coding that allowed the hack to happen in the first place.
potential silver lining: everyone who posted or participated in general threads were finally forced to go back to whatever social media sh*thole they crawled out of
>>320266 >There's a very real possibility 4chan slides into obscurity and the sharty overtakes it as the primary imageboard. I don't see the downside. >>320322 It's that bad huh? i won't touch that shithole but i can't say i never will.
>>320325 >imho the 'arty has never looked this meepermier Did you have a stroke? >just stick with the chill boards like the hobby boards I still have yet to find one for /v/, /biz/, /vg/ and /pol/
>>320266 >sharty overtakes it as the primary imageboard I doubt it just on a technical level alone. The sharty couldn't handle the spike in traffic it got yesterday after the hack, by extension it wouldn't be able to handle /ghost/ let alone traffic comparable to 4chan. It really isn't all that well coded or run, and I don't actually see a scenario where it has the technical ability to replace 4chan as a utility.
>>320264 >> A hacker collective Man, journalists really are still doing the "hackers on steroids" shit 18 years later
>>320350 Its not that this is guaranteed to be the end of 4chan, but it has the potential too. The leak revealed that 4chan's FreeBSD OS probably hadn't been updated since 2019, not to mention a bunch of other stuff that hasn't been properly maintained or fixed. And since that and a bunch of the source code got leaked there's a whole host of potential exploits that would need to be fixed before making the site public again. Hiro/RapeApe may not even care to try.
>>320352 is there really that little profit/valuable nsa data from the site that they wouldn't just opt to update their freebsd and patch their javascript instead of shutting the whole thing down
>>320242 I thought half of that was irony posting and most of it from what I understand is kept in nas/coal/nate board or whatever.
>>320240 >like nothing happened soon enough Janny applications will get even stricter doe, a lot will change but won't be apparent right away. >>320239 >To be desu I'm gonna miss /jp/, /int/, /bant/ and /his/. We have all of that here doe.
>>320209 >who will finally go out and touch grass for the first time in years I hope their immune system can handle it, those who surivive will probably experience a higher quality of life that's ultimately more fulfilling compared to being a janny bot.
>>320102 (OP) Shame I missed an opportunity to post on le ebin /qa/ doe. I mean I was there but I didn't think to actually type in the URL.
>>320360 >ac just told me he hired all the old refugee jannies and now he will rule with an iron fist What will be the former 4channel.edu jannies salory for moderating BBC?
>>320365 >200% That's a pretty big upgrade from getting € $ -0 nothing. (excluding the literal state actors who earn whatever their national glowy salary is)
>>320366 yes expect an increase in pig population over the coming months you WILL follow the rules and fall in line you will not post anything i- ac doesnt like
>>320207 Hi I found this site cause I played on the TF2 server (may God rest his soul) By the way I'm 21 so you don't need to get all existential just yet, some of us are still young
the thing about 4chan being down for an extended amount of time is that it usually returns being better because all the perma online creatures did something other than lurking all their free time for once and actually have something to post about.
>>320377 i wouldnt mind that, its nice how there is no "main" imageboard anymore, the closest thing is the sharty or 8chan and those are very normalfag unfriendly places
>>320379 Facts king, I completely agree with the notion you've put forward that imageboards only function correctly as large monopolies and that the loss of 4chan is worth dramatically more than anything gained by scattering people to anemic altchans. Not to mention that anyone celebrating the downtime are slave race demographics (sharty iPad kids, rw twitter, disabled >30 year olds, kiwifarmers)... damn, 4chad really was the champion.
>>320353 >profit When moot was in charge he said the site barely broke even, hiro mentioned early on that the site had financial difficulties. He may have fixed them, I remember reading on the news that j-list was funding the site or something but It still probably wasn't super profitable. > valuble NSA data This has got to be the biggest meme of all time. 4chan has very little data compared to most social media websites. All of your posts are public there are no private communications anywhere in the site.
>>320350 4chan needs to fix its security vunerabilities and that costs time and money. The more time it takes them to update the site, the less people will be there when it comes back. Since 4chan is down people are doing other things with their time, and they may decide to stop posting on 4chan entirely. Some of them are waiting but if it takes 4chan a month then most of them will have already left. When 4chan comes back it will probably have less PPH which might cause people to leave the site as well. They are depending on unpaid volunteers to fix their security vunerabilities, if it's too much work the volunteers might just give up and then 4chan would rot.
In addition to that the mods and jannies were doxxed, which means that some of the mods and jannies may want to quit (because they could risk being harassed), so they might need to find more jannies, which would be hard to do because nobody is going to want to join the 4chan staff if they think sharty is going to dox them. >>320354 >open source The modern open source implementations may be slow to run for a site with such large traffic but IDK maybe not.
> re write it They might not have the techincal abilities to rewrite the software (They didn't write it in the first place, they only added to it). They might not have the time or money to rewrite it either.
the more 4chan fails the better 4chan is I remember that the few years before Krautchan shut down the best times for the websites is when they pulled their clearnet access and only the people only IRC could access the website
I remember that the few years before bantculture shut down the best times for the websites is when they pulled their clearnet access and only the people only discord could access the website
>>320383 Really mixed on that because while I miss some threads, I definitely noticed a decline in quality due to gimmick posters and practically Discord managed threads. On a side note. I would have loved it if AI fags had their own board, so I wouldn't have to see their shit in /g/
>>320396 In an ideal world it'll be moderated differently after it goes back up or it would stay down and people would manage to start over on 8chan despite the loss
>>320398 It split into several sites after the christchurch shooting with the main ones being a qanon schizo site and a website called 8chan.moe which is where most of the 4chan refugees have gone but two thirds of the activity are from gacha generals and vtubers rn
>>320396 i havent been on this site in like a year or so and the last time i was on the 4chanz was like last year too. But from what I remember trooncords basically ran a good chunk of /v/ and its like, at what point does it just become cheaper and easier to make a groomcord server for yourself and your few pals. Instead of shitting up a whole imageboard
4chan no longer puts up a cloudflare error. it now says "Service Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later." so maybe someone finally started working on it.
>>320403 even if something is getting done about it i'm sure it'll still take a long time to patch it's outdated system and remove exploitable weaknesses. i initially thought they'd have to scrap it and start from scratch.
>>320402 it might return but... i don't think the traffic will ever return to its former levels, especially if it takes weeks to get it back up people who migrated might go back, decide "man fuck this cancerous website, the place I migrated to is better" and make that their primary focus with side trips to 4chan
>>320407 realized thinking to myself at work that it's either a sign of it coming back or a follow up to find those responsible for this as seen in the intra janny mail leak here >>145591
>>320413 also that would track, who else could follow up on a law case like that, where actually federal issued emails got leaked. things might get way more interesting in the coming days. loling that /pol/ schizos were right and there were federal agents in the janny staff
>>320410 If the leaks are correct and there's no way to restore the threads that were previously up while upgrading the site, this will be like genocide for all the terminally slow boards geared towards niche interests i.e /ic/, /i/, /3/, etc. Honestly not even sure if the anonymous imageboard website format is all that compatible with discussion of these interests in the first place so this might be better for them. I have no doubt that the big and fast boards like /v/, /pol, and /vt/ will get close to if not back to regular speed. However if a large enough poster population likes the looser moderation on 8chan and other alts enough to stay then the character of each board might change pretty drastically as newfags come in in wake of the recent drama.
>>320374 >it depends on which side of the bed ac woke up on If that's the case I hope AC has a pleasant restful night and calm easy going morning with a hot tasty breakfast every morning from now on.
>>320428 definitely that was 100% a ploy to cut down on the work they had to do (aka lazy moderating) so it wouldn't make sense for them to get rid of it.
>>320431 idk if 10x more unhinged or there was 10x more of them. alot of people got forced to live online for the first time when going out wasn't an option.
>>320444 seems they're having some technical hiccups, taken from /bant/hap: to recap /qa/ deleted /f/ locked down for posting captcha randomly not working threads randomly getting deleted across many boards threads randomly getting sent to /test/ (???) hap silenced and censored by adminstration images randomly getting deleted
