Moot resigns from Admin Position from 4chan

EDIT: I was wrong, thanks to everyone for educating me on the matter. Wasn't aware 4chan has rules and enforces them strictly.

I don't support GamerGate, but isn't the whole point of 4 chan complete unfiltered freedom and anonymity? The only time things get "censored" is when it's CP (or something that clashes with Fed law).

So even if you are against gamer gate, does it make sense for 4 chan to censor it? Not an expert on 4 chan, but it just seems like it goes against the purpose of 4 chan. I mean this is 4 chan we are talking about. Lol the kind of shit that is on there. I dunno. Seems weird to be an admin of that site, and finally take a random personal stance to something you created (which goes against its purpose).

I assume it was moreso because it, meaning the threads in /v/, was used as a staging ground to dox people since /pol/ and /b/ on a second by second basis say more disgusting things than gamergate.

EDIT: I was wrong, didn't understand what 4chan was, or its history (they have rules).
 
End of an era. Now the portal's either gonna sink or will absolve itself of Moot's /pol/ baggage. Going to be an interesting time on any of the boards, even dead ones.

/vr/, /m/, and /tg/ are the main three boards I frequent, each of them excellent despite suffering from occasional trolls. /m/ in particular is where a lot of the more interesting discussions from /a/ end up, same with /vr/ for containing talk about old games. Hopefully they'll buffer the fallout of this resignation jusrt fine.
 
Probably one of the most infamous and influencial websites ever.

Moot created
a monster
an internet institution.
 
Crazy.

I actually saw this on my phone a few minutes ago when I loaded up /vg/.

End of an era, indeed. I wonder what his next plan is. I have to assume he's got something cooking.

I've been an anon in 4chan since the beginning, I wish moot the best of luck, 4chan is an important part of my life and it wouldn't exist without him.
 
Did moot cite pressure from tumblr as his reason for retiring?

This sounds silly to me.

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

On the subject of /a/.
I went there to check it out since they have closest board-admin relation. One last messing with the board with Komm Susser Tod embedded and a bunch of sappy people.

People think the site made him rich? The image hosting takes a toll overall and Poole has always had trouble trying to get advertisers for even the SFW portions of the site.

J-List advertising doesn't make millionaires.
 
End of an era. I seriously hope he writes a book down the line because it would be one of the most fascinating piece to read. 4chan...man what a site
 
That fucking song, fuck you moot ;_;7
Hard to believe Geass threads were that long ago or when
/v/ wasn't shit
.

Time to reflect on my life today.

Seeing some posts there that kinda make you go d'aawww. Gonna quote some.
People letting the inner softy in them out.



"If 4chan does go under, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all of you.
Each and every single one of you were great people and I have no doubt 4chan really made me a better person. The exposure to such a diverse demographic really made a difference.
Thanks again /a/, I'll miss the waifu threads.
I hope for the best for all of you, and I really do hope to see all of you on a safe and sound 4chan."

"Moot, today has had a greater impact on me than I could have ever anticipated. Your work will never be forgotten. I want to thank you for this gift you have given to us, which we often take for granted. Goodbye Moot, we're gonna carry that weight."

"You gave a sad soul love.
I will never, ever, stop being grateful.
There isn't anyone else on earth I'm more happy was born.
Thank you for what you did.
Truly."

"I haven't cried in so long but the tears just won't stop now. This place isn't going to be the same without you. I'm going to miss you so much. Thank you for everything you've done."

Great past years. This current situation gives me an emotion that's similar to that mass /v/ Katawa Shoujo feelsathon.
