Tell me how to make 10 when adding 15 + 11.5

You punch your math teacher ten times in the face

 

[Drayco21]

I only regularly use /co/ these days, and that board's been going to shit for a while now. I wonder if this'll have much of an effect on the day-to-day there yet.

 

[ZeroGravity]

He already betrayed his vision of what 4chan is when he started censoring shit last year, so he might as well leave.

What did he censor?

 

[Professor Renegade]

Things are probably gonna stay the same as they always were, it kind of sucks to see him leave though.

 

[Catdaddy]

15 years of running 4chan and he started at 11.5 yrs old.... wow

 

[googleplex]

Even if 4chan becomes more kill, new chans will arrise.

At this point, chans are an integral part of the internet.

The worst of the worst are already at 8chan now.

/co/ is the only board I've ever bothered with on 4chan.

 

[pants]

What did he censor?

Gamergate as I recall, I wasnt paying much attention to the particulars though

 

[vulva]

so wait, moot's 63?

 

[Valhelm]

>great

/mu/ is a pretty awesome place for music discussion. It can be a little hivemindy, but being a "drone" who only listens to Sufjan and Death Grips is discouraged.

 

[entremet]

8chan was founded a while ago by a guy who thought 4chan was too strict about child pornography, basically.

Last year, amidst all the GamerGate flurry, lots of 4channers left to 8chan. Soon after, a large wave of liberals left to form their own counterpart to /pol/ on 8chan.

What?! Wouldn't the FBI crack down with the quickness?

 

[McDougles]

What did he censor?

This is stealth goober gate complaining.

 

[injurai]

15 + 11.5

10 + 10 + 5 + 1.5

I think so...

wait there is no equal sign, What are they all together? Nooooo

 

[ElTorro]

Tell me how to make 10 when adding 15 + 11.5

Compute in modulo 16.5

 

[Valhelm]

What?! Wouldn't the FBI crack down with the quickness?

There's no actual child porn, but the same stuff posted on the now-closed "jailbait" parts of reddit: bikini shots of 16-year-old girls and shit like that.

Oh, right. Guess moot felt the threats and doxxing was significant enough for the "movement" to fall under the no raids/harassment rule.

 

[Coffee Dog]

>tfw moot left 4chan before you

He already betrayed his vision of what 4chan is when he started censoring shit last year, so he might as well leave.

Lol gamergate discussion was wrecking the community, and it was probably causing legal worries. Of course he told them to fuck off and the fact that you have a problem with it is concerning.

 

[Higgins113]

He probably got tired of being called a cuck

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

In dog years moot would be...

15x11.5x7 chew toys

Take 5 from 15...

moot = Bush's Baked Beans

Strange since I always though of 4chan as the Wild Wild west of the Internet. GAF allowed it and this site is tightly moderated. But I guess if people were doxxing others then it makes sense.

GAF allowed it, but it wasn't used as a staging ground like on 4chan. That's the difference.

 

[FelixOrion]

It would have been glorious.

Found it!

shut: How many sites are even 10 years old? They're usually very large and-

moot: Facebook isn't even 10 years old. But they're a public company so they can't just crash and burn. Well, they can crash and burn, but Mark [Zuckerburg] just can't hit a button like I can.

Like, it is kinda a fantasy of mine to shut 4chan down. Just think about what would happen. People complain all the time about - unfortunately they complain about /b/ like 'Why don't you remove /b/?!' You're a moron! Why would you remove /b/?! It's a containment board or a retard bin, as we've called it, no offense to actual retards because these people, you know, do them a disservice.

But it allows them a place to congregate without affecting the rest of the site and in that sense 4chan is like a - I was gonna with something more offensive - an asylum on the Internet. And so if 4chan were to cease to exist this would be like Arkham Asylum, like, the gates are open. And we've all seen Batman, but there's no Batman in this story, because it's real life, so they would just rape and pillage. And it would be horrible on one hand, but it would be fascinating. The anthropologist in me is like 'omg this would create so much data'. It would be really spectacular to see people trample the internet in search of a new home.

Yeah, I think if I ever decide to ragequit life, I think that's one of my last orders of business, is to shut down 4chan, because it would truly be a gift to the rest of the internet to see you all go out and just pollinate the rest of the web.

 

[Zukuu]

wtf with all those abbreviations. Why does no one bother to write them out once. >_<

What do you mean?

 

[Sai-kun]

Gamefaqs went to shit when CjayC left

Gamespot merger was the end

 

[davepoobond]

Yahoo should buy them now

 

[entremet]

Those aren't abbreviations, but sub forums within 4chan. /v is the video games forum for example.

I've never perused 4chan, and while I am aware that most of the boards are fairly innocuous, /b/ certainly is not, and I agree with moot's assessment that it is a kind of containment center.
I don't think the effect of such people spreading out to the wider internet would be positive. Sites like NeoGAF that have a large barrier to entry and a good mod staff will probably be safe, but other sites? I'm worried.

 

[Neue Regel]

Went on /b/ to see the reactions and saw CP straight away, I never learn.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

As long as /a/, /sp/, the wallpaper boards and /jp/ live on may the other boards burn.

[revimack]

He doesn't give a shit anymore. He broke /pol/ for months, hired incompetent mods, and had to deal with constant cuck threads being made about him and his gf/ex-gf.

Still sad though. I'll wish him luck in whatever failed startup he's looking to lead next.

 

[Hackworth]

It's been six months, random Gamergater. You're still mad?

 

[Crayons]

Can't believe he's 78 years old already, RIP Moot

4Chan: Where NeoGAF Members go to say shit they would be banned for here.

 

[DJMicLuv]

The main reason I think he's quitting is that it's hard work running a site like 4-Chan when you reach your 90s. It's time to retire with a Brandy and a wank.

 

[Zukuu]

Those aren't abbreviations, but sub forums within 4chan. /v is the video games forum for example.

That's what I mean tho. V = video games. So what are all those other subs, which are supposedly the 'worst ever'.

Moot always struck me as very un-4chan-like despite being 4chan's admin

What happened on Tumblr?

Tumblr tried to raid /b/. I dunno what they tried to raid with, I think it was spamming 'You shouldn't do this, be nicer' or something. And a bunch of Tumblr people did it. So 4chan retaliated wtih animal gore. Thousands of thousands of pictures of animal gore.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

That's what I mean tho. V = video games. So what are all those other subs, which are supposedly the 'worst ever'.

/a/- Anime & Manga (and hentai)
/sp/- Sports (and meltdowns)
/mu/- Music (and shit taste in music)
/pol/- Politically Incorrect (utter shit, never go there)
/jp/- "Japan" (actually Touhou, and shut-in lifestyle)
/b/- Never EVER go there
/v/- Video games (and complaining about non-video game threads, no fun allowed, no actually discussing video games, and the bane of all good in gaming, waifu threads)

 

[Robot Carnival]

man... I've been off of 4chan for a long time, just the mention of moot's name brings back some memories. but yeah, wish him the best of luck in whatever he decided to do next, maybe I'll even go for a visit at 4chan for old time's sake (not /b/ thou, that's just condensed insanity).

btw, someone mentioned Something Awful, what happened to them? I'm way behind on these news...

 

[ahoyhoy]

This is amazing.

They use reddit and knock off sites for that as well.

 

[jediyoshi]

wtf with all those abbreviations. Why does no one bother to write them out once. >_<

Because that's how they're referred to in any context, just most importantly in the actual URL.

 

[cm osi]

What happened on Tumblr?

tumblr tried to pull a politically correct raid on 4chan (maybe pushed by 4channers).
does raiding 4chan sounds like a good idea to you?

 

[cm osi]

sorry double post

 

[Dio]

It's crazy to think I've been browsing the site almost as long as he's been running it.

Fuck, I started going to 4chan when I was starting high school. Now I'm in postgraduate from university.
