moot sold 4Chan to hiroyuki nishimura, founder and former owner of 2ch
>>57-59
"I'm happy that there is no stupid 4chan users who easily are deceived without any evidence."
-- Hiroyuki, 2015
>>57
Is archive.moe dead?
>>61
4chan went down today, not sure why archive.moe followed.
Hiro added a picture of a space shuttle to the home page.
hiro said he thinks the site engineers might be working on textboards.

I like how active he's been so far.
Here's the actual post.
http://boards.4chan.org/qa/thread/310926#p312489
Hiro added a history board.
so?
>so?
It's related to the topic of the thread faghomo.
>>68
Textboards have been on 8chan since 2014, so I really doubt that 4chan adding the textboards they had since 2004 back after a year would really hurt textboards if 8chan hasn't ruined them already.
>>72
What is an 8chan? Nevermind, sounds cancerous.
>>72
8ch's textboards are just imageboards without pics.
>>72
Except if Hiro really readded the textboards he'd add a link on the blotter, which absolutely everyone from any board would be able to see.
>>75
I know that you're new to 4chan, but for the longest time they were linked under their respective board names like /a/ with /anime/ and there was even a time that they were next to the boards on top.
>>68
How would him re-adding textboards affect textboard culture anywhere outside of 4chan?
>>68
Idk about that. The textboards will always have significantly less traffic than the imageboards on 4chan.
apparently some people are still proud they've been on 4chan for longer than others, huh
They don't want to feel bad they've spent most of their lives on such a shitty website.
Why not bring back the rapidshare catalogue?
>Yeah, when 4chan didn't have as many terrible users as it did today.
So according to you, it was just 2015 that made 4chan terrible? Because the textboards were around until last year you fucking idiot. I can also guarantee I've been here longer than you, so telling me to go back to 4chan is hilarious. Keep parroting things you hear others say in an attempt to make yourself look cool, though.
>>83
I don't think you belong here.
>>83
Take it easy.
>>84
okay mr "lol epic"
keep playing pretend oldfag on 4-ch
the -fag suffix is so 4chanish
Nishimura's pathetic attempts at reaching out to the 4chan community through mainstream memes is rather disheartening...
See: 4chan's homepage
Oh god, it honestly is like seeing an old man attempting to do some skateboarding in front of a bunch of teenagers.
And doing some sick ass tricks
not really, no
sounds like someone can't do any sick ass tricks
i did a sick ass trick on you're mother
4channers are gullible little fuckers.
They started sucking Hiroyuki's dick the second he showed up, too.
I am so happy there are no stuped 4-ch'ers who believe without evidence
Suddenly 4chan people seem to know more about Hiroyuki than 1/3 of the Japanese population!
To be fair, the Japanese population is pretty dumb.
But then again, so are 4chan people.
100 get
>>99
Main problem is that they're not very well informed about the whole thing. They don't even know parts of the story that were translated into English, and much less about the new stories that are only written in japanese.
Also, anyone know where you can see Hottolink stocks? I heard there was a raise after Hiroyuki got 4chan.
>>102
It's a thread about 4chan, it's par for the course.
why would you age this
Apparently Hiroyuki added a news "textboard" to 4chan. It's just an imageboard except he disabled images. A few hours latter he added the ability to post images in the OP. So now it's just an imageboard with no image replies. Turns out people complained about not being able to post images in a textboard. This is after pleading for Hiroyuki to add textboards back.
>he added the ability to post images in the OP
So, more like one of the older imageboards built off of the futallaby script.
That sounds perfectly fine to me. The main difference between the 4chan imageboards and every other textboard is the fact that you can post unrelated images in a thread in order to selfishly and unfairly garner attention to your post, or else just to derail the thread.
>>110
Go back to 4chan.
>>109
The main problem isn't allowing images, it's the culture behind it. "Avatarfagging", reaction faces, unrelated pictures, etc.
>>111
Unable to face criticism are you?
>And textboards are pure because there's no way to give yourself unfair attention
...When did he say that?
>>114
Geez.
For someone complaining about 4chan, you sure aren't very smart yourself.
>>116
That wasn't me, ``lmao''.
>>110,115
Like greentexting but using AAs.
>>118
That AA was used in the same way 2channel users use it.
I swear, this crowd is so misled that they think everyone is a 4chan. Is it because of the influx of 4chan/8ch crossposters lately?
>Is it because of the influx of 4chan/8ch crossposters lately?
Yeah, they're pretty gross.
this is nice thread
nice and kind to each other
>>120 explain
What do they do that you don't like?
>>24
For starters, they go to 4-ch internet addicts board and start asking people to lurk for them.
Like you did just now.
What's with 4channers still defending their shithole?
What do you think will happen once 4chan gets shut down? It's not like 4chan is or ever was run by a large company, like other social media sites, so outside forces could very well compel the site's shutdown.
And after that, what will happen to the user base? Will they just dissipate, settling for more popular social media sites? I suspect the vast majority will, but, as we can already see, there's a growing number of alternative image boards and textboards, and their user base, though most of it migrated to 4chan at the height of 4chan's popularity, seems to be returning.
Is his the advent of a new era for textboards?
>>126
Retards from 4chan are already shitting up the most well-known textboards.
>>127
Why is it everyone on here is so snobbish?
Do I have to remind you that there are hundreds of imageboards out there that are virtually ignored?
And some of the most active textboards outside of 4chan, 420chan, 8chan have some of the most unique and insular userbases, like /what/, which is practically all /jp/.
Why do you act like you have absolutely no control over the websites you browse? do you think that there's no alternative? Because the fact is that, of the existing textboards, 4-ch is hardly the most active.
>>129
You can hardly call /jp/ (or old /jp/, whatever) 4chanesque.
>>129
can you hook me up with the best textboards?
I was thinking about 4ct yesterday and felt kinda bad for not going there
>>132
Besides 4-ch I like to post on http://bienvenidoainternet.org/, but it's in Spanish.
Apparently, Hiro's posted on hispachan.
>>136
Shitty place that tries really hard to imitate 4chan.
every image board is trying to imitate 4chan
