If all the evidence anybody is posting is screenshots and nobody has seen any actual archives you probably shouldn't put any trust into the swirling whirlwind of bullshit. Just saying.

If you want a complete summary of what happened about the hack+leak:
[hairyfruit]farms.st/threads/4chan.37222/page-798#post-21123474
If you're a chan user looking for a temporary place, you can try to visit 4+4ch.
/v/ and /pol/ are the most active board but there's also hgg for hentai games if you are familiar with hgg2d, weg or dgg.

Oh joy, someone else who's never learned of Occam's Razor.

So basically, all other things being equal, a proposition that makes less assumptions is more likely to be true.

So, what's more probable? That the FBI/CIA/DHS ran a honeypot string operation in conjunction with a slew of universities to target a Japanese forum, and they're all fucking stupid enough to use emails that point right to their real motivations? Or some anonymous people on the internet with an agenda to push LIED.


So yeah, you can keep that bridge, it's already at home with a sucker...
Read upon some released documents like the Finders cult, it's purpose & how the CIA shat the bed in such a stupid & embarassing scale - something which kickstarted the entire Satanic Panic in the 80s where instead of looking into actual real life cases, the general public got duped by the same Feds into believing DnD & metal are works of the Devil.

Not to mention how you'll get quite a few examples of 4chan anonymous users being arrested for posting death threats - so much for not being a fed honeypot, yeah?

Or you can keep using terms from TvTropes for "le epic takedowns" - your call.

As to the second part - you only need to look into past 75 years of consistently repeated history to realize that federal agencies aren't exactly run by the best & brightest.
If you really think that people with .gov emails being admins on a site widely known for:
- being sleuths who can pinpoint locations from still videos, screenshots and images which resulted from taking flags to outright terrorist camp bombardments
[..]
- identifying masked assailants with nothing but a blurry image
[..]
And its .gov email admins are NOT feds, then you're in luck - I got a bridge to sell you.
:unsure:

Sure thing bridge collector. The Satanic Panic was a conspiracy, instead of the result of perfectly mundane factors colliding to make a not-at-all-uncommon conservative Christian freak-out. I guess the CIA also staged the Beatles 'more popular than Jesus' remark that got the public to boycott and burn their albums in protest, yeah? Were the CIA also the boogeymen behind the women's liberation movement, cause they had a kink for college women burning their brassieres?

The '4chan is a honeypot' is an internet joke. 4chan got hacked by some chuds over at soyjak.party, and that seems easy enough to verify (e.g. the return of the /qa board before 4chan went offline). Anything beyond that and you're trusting one side of an internet blood feud to give you accurate information about the other side of the blood feud. This is why you're a bridge collector. If you're this fucking credulous, you buy every bridge that comes your way.

Death threats by anonymous getting prosecuted, therefore FBI honeypot? Fuck no. Are you high? The FBI just needs to request whatever user information 4chan had on them (like IP addresses, no one there is truly anonymous), and go from there. Hell, there might have been a mod or a few that proactively reported such threats to the authorities so as to avoid critical attention; don't need an insider conspiracy to explain that. Anyone dumb enough to make death threats on 4chan thinking that being 'anonymous' there was any form of protection are the same people who think Chrome's Incognito mode makes you invisible on the internet. These are not especially smart people. You don't need a fucking conspiracy to explain them fucking up and getting caught. Plus if the Feds are supposed to be these super-competent conspiracy masterminds that ran this honeypot for years without anyone knowing, how come 4chan's version of PHP was over a decade out-of-date, allowing for the site to be compromised to begin with?

You see, you are making a fucking oil-tanker's worth of baseless assumptions, all of which need to be true (and some of which are contradictory), to support your cockamamie conspiracy. I don't. Some dipshist on the internet are lying about some internet drama, and that's my opinion until there is substantial and verifiable evidence to the contrary. Claims require evidence, and extraordinary claims (e.g. 4chan is a Fed honeypot filled with Feds and university staff exclusively) require extraordinary evidence (e.g. a whole lot more than anonymous hearsay from the victors of an internet blood feud).

So you keep on collecting those bridges my dude, you're not getting rid of them any time soon...

EDIT: I see your laugh-cry emoji. How very Elon of you...

I already made the mistake of looking up the definition for "cunny". Not sure I want to google more 4chan terms.
Ha normies!

We're already here bud, might be a few more of those terms popping up you know. I used to be a lurker and occasional poster on /fit/, /biz/ and /x/. Sometimes occasionally visited /b/, /pol, /d/ and /aco/, but the first 3 were my main ones.

I don't think we'll ever see the deluge of pink wojaks who invested in crypto just moments before the crash & then post about various ways of comitting suicide.

Good times.

For everyone else who isn't in the know:

There are already dozens of practically identical clones of 4chan on different domains around the internet, it's not like the "brand" is dead or anything. This is just an old website that already was a shell of its former self going down, it's not the dead of imageboard culture or anything like that.


try to visit 8chan.[REDACTED]
Linking to or mentioning links to that site breaks rule 7, you should delete it from your post or otherwise you risk being banned.

Also, it's not like you need a degree in nuclear engineering to make a 4chan clone. That thing is as barebones as it can get in terms of UI and back-end, the only thing stopping people from creating more clones is not giving a shit :KEK:

I said something like that at the start of this thread. There already are a shitton of imageboard scripts available around the internet for anyone to use, and anyone with basic programming skills also can set up a brand new imageboard from scratch if they wanted to, that kind of software it's not complex at all. There are hundreds of smaller and nicher imageboards around already.

But you are right about not much people giving a shit about imageboards these days, though. It seems that most people today prefer either microblogging or instant messaging platforms, given how much of the alternative/non-corporate social networking landscape looks like.

hey folks, big news!

I hacked f95zone, and among other shocking stuff found Lerd0's real email, and : it is a de-mail! o_O

This of course means that while he is not with the FBI, he IS with the BND (German wannabe-CIA, sort of)

I can't say if I am more shocked by the utter lameness of Lerd0 this reveals, or by me not seeing this coming from miles away - just look at the type of games he uploaded.
It is all clear to me now.

be wary, the Germans are coming, again.
