In reference to
>>101525 this crowd of people are also trying to get control over Gikopoi to feed their ego. A fake "system" message shown when you login to Kanrinin Street.
They are not people to associate with and try to ruin everything they touch. Why create anything when you can leech from others? That seems to be their motto. I don't believe there is anyone who could possibly want to associate with "that guy" other than people who see themselves in him and think his traits of pathological lying and a necessity to control the narrative through deceit are somehow positive.
"That guy" is also telling everyone he's planning to buy 4chan and also that he might buy Gelbooru. Is he going to? Obviously not, he just wants praise and attention and for people to talk about how it would be if he did. If he did do it however I guarantee you the first thing he would do is ruin everything the very second someone hurts his ego.

>>104745I would not use this archive for a couple reasons.
The name made me suspicious, and a 4chan archive search confirmed that it's attached to a certain group of undesirables:
https://archive.4plebs.org/_/search/text/logwarehouse/https://desuarchive.org/_/search/text/logwarehouse/The first reason is technical. Since it archives that other place, it hosts legally questionable stuff such as doxing and images that are illegal for varying reasons. Maybe it uses a host in a country that's fine with that kind of thing, at least for now, but archives are already prone to collapse without such assistance.
The second reason is ethical. Ironically, the archive itself provides proof that it was the origin of the sustained raiding that /azu/ has had, not that it would be in doubt. Moderation did succeed to keeping /azu/ alive due to the max thread count's buffer, so thankfully it did not succeed.
Hopefully this post of mine sounded neutral enough, because I am very much not neutral about this.

The archives you linked, 4plebs and desuarchive, contain just as much questionable/illegal material.
Theres always archive.org and archive.today which are bound to have at least some of the threads saved. The archive in that thread is not a definitive authority on anything.

When moot wanted a first party archive to compete with the third party archives he wasn't a fan of he specifically wanted archived threads to drop all user identifiable information so that aspect would be the same as the days when threads just 404'd.
Why would they do that? Because it's much less work for the admins when they get like a takedown request and they can honestly tell the serving party "sorry it's already gone and we don't have records for that user". moot himself also never got enough credit for valuing his users privacy, within the confines of US law.
If you've ever been on 4chan in the past and they delete/ban a handful of posters in a thread before deleting the whole thread this is why. They can't actually IP ban you out of the archive, because that info is gone.
There are provisions to save info in bans, and cp stuff is forwarded to the NCMEC like every other US website, or my above mentioned permanent log of sysadmin actions, but by default 4chan doesn't save all this stuff. Unless all the funny old mspaint conspiracy theories have all become true over the past 8ish years.

It doesn't necessarily mean anything, old software like Wakaba is still alive even though it's unmaintained and the language it's written in is dead (Perl). Those boards aren't being hacked so it's not necessarily an immediate threat to any boards. Maybe in 10 years it will be deemed too insecure with bots scraping for vulnerabilities on active servers to get a backdoor for nefarious activities, but frankly there's not enough instances for it to be worth it. At worst someone will be angry and pwn vichan sites to troll and sites will migrate to other scripts. Hopefully they pick something that works well without javascript.

So as of today I will be taking over as maintainer for this project.
I just want to state that Kolyma, according to Fred, is completely lying about any vulnerability in vichan. If you have a reproducible critical bug, please demonstrate it to me in private and we can discuss how to handle it. So far it seems like the people from soyjak.party were just lying to try to make it seem like their closed source software was superior. But at least according to Fred, there was zero communication about this stuff with him. I don't know the concrete truth in this, however. For what it's worth, Fred didn't even know Kolyma existed until today.
I will be updating the README to reflect this change. And if the people at soyjak.party would like to demonstrate their vichan exploits (which I personally doubt exist), please feel free to explain them.

Somehow ctrlc has to interview people who created accounts 10 minutes ago in order to find someone who cares (and his method of stirring up drama to get takers has put it into the influence as someone he sees as like Watkins).

There's a Wired article about the Good Smile company owning part of 4chan. I don't really trust these people to get anything accurate about imageboards and the article hasn't provided any proof, so I'd take it with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, Wired claims it has proof that the Good Smile company owns or once owned 30% of 4chan the company. It also puts the price that moot sold 4chan for at over $5 million.
A large chunk of the article is devoted to the "we must stop 4chan to save the world" stuff, but there's still some information in it that might be interesting if it's true. It's hard to see an article like this as trustworthy when it parades its biases so loudly.

Starting in 2017-2019, it seems like Good Smile got in contact with and later bought a company in Californa for making merchandise, but in 2020 this company independently started to do business with Netflix which led GS to fire two of their vice-presidents and then suing them because:
>stealing away a merchandising opportunity related to “Stranger Things: The Drive-Into Experience,”>While employed at GSC, these executives had signed noncompetes, non-disclosure agreements, and an agreement to refer business opportunities to the figurine company.The two fired guys countered this in September 2021 with a cross-complaint claiming that:
>GSC actively profited from sexualizing underage characters, discriminated against non-Japanese employees, evaded taxes, and funded 4Chan.baste
GS told Polygon that:
>The Defendants’ cross complaint, in contrast, is based on demonstrably, knowingly, and provably false and defamatory allegations.Sources for this part:

Later in May 2022, Wired put out the article "Who Owns 4chan?":
https://web.archive.org/web/20230330102206/https://www.wired.com/story/who-owns-4chan/It's an anti-imageboard rant, but the important parts are that first it links to Hiro's following statement:
>>* How did you raise the amount of money to compensate Moot?>I borrowed money.https://desuarchive.org/qa/thread/183913/#192864The article goes on to state:
>By 2016, Nishimura announced that the costs of running 4chan were simply too high and suggested the site’s closure was imminent. In 2018, Nishimura attempted to cleave the site in two—leaving 4chan intact, with its obscene and pornographic boards, but creating a safe-for-work alternative, attractive to advertisers, on 4channel.This is true. If you ctrl+f "4chan LLC" you'll also see the important part about 4chan's legal structure, which is true as well. From there onwards it goes back to the previous lawsuit which caused a number of internal documents to be released or whatever I'm getting tired of reading this:
>Sources with knowledge of Good Smile say the company owns at least a part of 4chan, and that Good Smile is more involved than it lets on publicly. WIRED is not naming those sources, who fear retaliation for speaking publicly about Good Smile.>Internal Good Smile documents obtained by WIRED reference a “confidentiality agreement” dated April 2015—just months after Poole announced he would be leaving 4chan, but some five months before Nishimura was announced as the buyer. One document names Dwango, Future Search Brazil, and Hiroyuki Nishimura as parties in the “consideration of M & A [mergers and acquisitions] regarding 4CHAN, LLC.” The executive responsible for the five-year deal was listed as “安藝”—Good Smile CEO Takanori Aki.The interesting thing is that the conflict was decided outside of court, the procedure didn't get to the point of proper examination:
>A lawyer for the former employees declined to comment, except to say that the legal proceedings were “mutually and confidentially resolved.”Then there's this other article from the New York Times about Hiro's record:
https://web.archive.org/web/20230329143655/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/18/business/4chan-hiroyuki-nishimura.html?smid=tw-shareIn particular, his efforts to avoid paying for shit while profiting and other legal hijinks, and Watkins' takeover of the site in 2013. Ctrl+f "handsomely" to skip to the important part. Also:
>(Mr. Nishimura, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times and people familiar with the situation, bought 4chan with funding from three Japanese partners for an undisclosed sum.)Suspicious, buuuuut there's more to it.
This brings us back to the story you quoted. The article is written by Justin Ling, who for whatever reason uploaded the evidence separately in his own site:
https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/the-4chan-files-good-smile-companyThere he links to the .pdf in question, according to which Good Smile, Brazil, and Hiroyuki would've pooled a total of eight million dollars as capital:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xeAaiBAuRj1iBdBJLW78tO96uV5nvZoP/view>AMENDED AND RESTATED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT of 4chan community support LLCSee the second page, middle section "Capital Contributions; Percentage Interests".
Here's the kicker: it's signed by Hiro, Brazil's Fukami Keiichiro, and Takanori Aki which Wired previously mentioned. It does actually show them getting a shitload of money for it, of which Hiro only contributed 10%. I don't know how legit the file is but aaaaaaaa this is exhausting and requires delving into too much shit so im gonna stop because i dont really care but somethings up for sure

>>107361Archiving any imageboard is a misguided venture since half the appeal is that your posts will disappear forever once they fall off page 10, but I'm pretty sure 4chan's archives do the opposite of what you think. They give newcomers a better impression of the site when they search for some popular topic and find threads from 5-10 years ago when the site wasn't in such a sorry state and they promote the chatroom-lite style since it's actually possible to stay caught up on every post on a topic so long as everyone keeps their generals labeled. There's also the nostalgiafags who want to relive the glory days once they've given up on being able to recreate them.
Regardless, I don't mourn the loss since the ethos of the site is survival of the fittest via reposting, not universal archival.

But, being strict with NSFW seems so alien with Japanese-related content on imageboards, so I'm quite curious to see if it pays off. An imageboard where you need to prevent yourself from posting lewd screenshots and such, when Lum herself is in a bikini and was topless in her first episode? It doesn't feel right to me, but I'm never good at predicting social trends.
But, geez, looking at the screenshot, that was a very naive move by the wapchan guy to actually go to the source of the raiding and try to talk things out. That has never and will never do anything but encourage more raiding.

Tangentially imageboard related:
A couple days ago google announced that it would start deleting the data of accounts that have been inactive for two years. Since google accounts are youtube accounts, people were worried about tons of old videos getting deleted off youtube.
The latest news seems to be that google won't be purging youtube videos of old accounts:
https://arstechnica.com/google/2023/05/googles-new-inactive-account-policy-wont-delete-years-of-youtube-videos/https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/18/youtube-will-no-longer-be-deleting-videos-from-inactive-accounts/But, this doesn't seem to extend to google drive or google docs. This is going to be another purge like imgur that will start in December of this year. There's tons of stuff stored on these sites as google docs was a good way to create a page with organized links and google drive was a good way to share files.

>>108321>>108322>>108497I've been considering signing up for this because I deleted a facebook account long ago. I requested they send all data they had about me to my mail address on DVDs/Disk. They never sent anything despite being required by law. It took me months to nuke that account. I had a script running 24/7 for months deleting old posts. I didn't even use it that often. They kept hiding old posts from my timeline from me.
At any rate to this day they still maintain a zombie account in my name and I'm still getting pissed off complaints from people IRL because I won't add them as a friend. I really wanted to see the data they had on me and my various dev accounts because I had to use their API for many projects over the years (it was required to embed the facebook button+log-in with fb account option on websites I made/ran for other people).
Did anyone here attempt to get the cash settlement? I'll contact them later and try I guess.
>>108492The only purpose with these purges is getting rid of history and proof of how the internet was before a few years ago. Since covid they've been purging old data, archives and history left and right. If they nuke imgur and related places like the various archives of imageboards they can claim anything they want about the state of the internet between the early 90s and late 2010s.
They've done it before with USENET archives. As soon as google got a monopoly on those they nuked tons of old stuff.
They're getting rid of every last trace of the old "culture". If you don't believe me just attempt to search for "The fappening". You won't find anything about it even through Russian search engines like yandex. Despite the fact that it was the major reason why 4chan became so locked down and moot quit. Those two points are often blamed on gamergate. But GG wasn't that big of a deal all things considered. The fappening was the leak that forced them into action because it compromised so many people (basically everyone that had an Apple account+iPhone. Fappening wasn't just celeb nudes leaking out. It contained TONS of information about important people).
Please enjoy smug pyramid as apologies for being semi-off topic. I do not lurk very often anymore as the internet is dead. I try to check in with kissu once a year or so but I often forget it exists as I've mostly stopped using the internet. I would have posted something better than pic related but my personal archives from before about 2014 are now sitting on HDDs I haven't hooked up in years. I have them in the bunker safe and sound waiting for the end of the world.

>>109387I just searched "icloud leaks" and a whole bunch of articles, videos, and even a wikipedia page calling it "The Fappening" so I guess I was smart to not believe you. There's not some grand corporate conspiracy to rewrite internet history. At most, there are asshole mods/admins who want to kill off the nostalgic oldfags who are bitter about them selling out. Companies just don't want to waste money storing a ton of data that doesn't generate anything for them. You've surely heard of anime and game production materials being lost for the same reason and those are vastly smaller than internet archives. The fact of the matter is that 99% of internet communication is idle chatter and attempting to record and archive every conversation of every person ever is a fool's errand.
No.109443
>>109395>I guess I was smart to not believe you.Yes anon those articles and that wikipedia blurb that mention it happened and only contained some nudes is the real story. The mountains of documents, txt files, videos and data that was dumped along with the nudes from ever politician's state issued iPhone/iCloud accounts was a right-wing conspiracy theory. It never happened. More importantly it was a good thing that we censored multiple websites and changed the rules on places like 4chan because we must believe all women. Uploading copies of naked pictures they took of themselves and uploaded to the internet is "revenge porn" and anyone hosting them should be persecuted and locked away for life.
I'm to the point where I don't care if people like you are
>A) stupid idiots>B) liarsit's the same result. You're just as annoying either way and you're part of the problem. If you can't see what's happening then you're literally too stupid to be on the internet in the first place.
>>109390>>109388archive.org and similar websites remove stuff all of the time for different reasons.
What we should have done is kept developing p2p software. IPFS and similar projects could have become a public "cloud" where ever user donated a little HDD space and bandwidth in return for being able to access any data in the network. We had the technology to avoid the censorship way back in the 90s.
The problem is that even torrents have been gameified and have morphed into stupid things like private trackers. Where people have locked up data that should be free behind paywalls and artificial roadblocks. They claim it's that way because people won't seed files. But the real reason is because they want to chase internet points and do what jannys do best: be annoying power tripping faggots.
Go and try to release something like a fansub right now without using a pre-existing account. You will not be able to upload it to some place like Nyaa. They locked down registration years ago and only allow old accounts to upload. Most releases are just rips from offical sources now. If you go to their IRC channel and ask nicely for an account and attempt to show them 20+ episodes of some old rare anime you've painstakingly translated you'll get kicked+banned because the janny didn't even read your message. You can't join with existing groups on the discordz without doxing yourself (gib cell phone number or you're a troll). You can open an IRC channel on rizon and do the xdcc bot thing but no one will ever download your release. You can ask nicely on 4/a/ if someone with a nyaa account will mirror/upload the .torrent for you. Enjoy getting banned for being "off topic".
It's obvious that the whole fansub thing is locked behind a pay2play wall now. You don't get to participate anywhere from public to private trackers without sucking janny cock and censoring your releases. If you dare to point out that the offical CR sub is bad and inserting political propaganda (usually of the gay kind) it's an instant ban everywhere for being a bigot. God forbid you actually attempt to do a real translation of what the chink cartoons are actually saying in the native language.
I can do this with every "community" on the internet these days. FOSS is worse than fansubbing. All boards are censored. All trackers are locked down. All repos are highly moderated. Any new account with 0 followers is a "troll". Everyone is terrified of "leaking their real IP" when THAT'S HOW THE INTERNET WORKS. The best part is they shun real p2p software then cry about the censorship on centralized big /tech/ services. Plenty of people are terrified of using IRC because it exposes their real IP address if they don't use a bouncer. Yet they're more than happy to hand over a cell phone number to use telegram, discord etc. It's madness.

>>109395>>109443Do not tell me I'm making shit up or crazy. I was around for the good old days. I know how things were and I know things were much better back then. Hackers, botnets and skids were always around. I might have even had a botnet of Windows 9x and XP computers myself that I C&C'ed from a private IRC channel at one point. People were using these to ddos websites they didn't like all of the time. We managed to keep our servers online anyway and we didn't need some service like cloudflare to do it.
Most people in the /tech/ sector are 100% talking out of their ass. These are the people that claim we need https and signed certs in the name of security. Then they turn right around and advocate for MitM services like cloudflare. It's obvious whats going on: Unencrypted traffic for me but not for thee.
So much has been memoryhole'd over the last 6 years. It's really amazing the amount of things that have been purged from the internet and global consciousness. The
only place data is safe is in your local backups. Even there you want to take great care that they're offline. As every consumer device comes with multiple baked in backdoors that can be used to read/write/modify data at any time.
But sure I'm paranoid. Those OPsec threads on 4/g/ are totally legit and you're safe using those services like Signal and telegram. The encryption is really strong to! Never mind the fact that your CPU allows a remote user to pluck anything out of RAM in real time. Those ancient Snowden leaks never happened. Go and re-post the contents on 4/g/ right now. See how long it takes for the friendly local mod to ban you after a legion of bots calls you a schizo.
Here's a fun pdf file:
https://sgp.fas.org/othergov/dod/dod060807.pdfDepartment of Defense "Internet interactive activities" program. That's all the way back in 2007. Proves they employee millions of people all over the world to censor and shit up places like this one. Proves they bring anyone with the same reach as MSM into the program via PR agencies. Proves that they kill any organic happening on the web before it spreads outside of its original region/website/community. All the proof is right there. But try to talk about it and see how quickly you're banned and/or drowned out by bots, low effort trolls and people pretending to be concerned anons. You're crazy and a schizo for noticing the man behind the curtain.
The fact is the average internet user (outside of AOL) in 1998 would have never put up with what's happening today. Back then if they threatened to take down something we liked we mirrored it 20 new places for fun. We'd even root a Military server or three to host our anime fansubs and warez on fast ftp servers. We did not comply with their demands and stupid laws for things like copyrights. Now all anyone does is comply. They've complied with so much stupid shit they've forgotten how things used to be. People now are so stupid they pay for warez and services to download warez. They're so stupid they take a protocol that is totally public by nature and attempt to make it "private" then cry when someone with half a brain leeches from their swarm.
I for one and sick and tired of it all. I consider the web totally lost at this point. It's the space for normalfags and the corporations that rule over them. There are still plenty of free places on the internet with intelligent people but the barrier to entry is higher on a technical level. It's a good filter that keeps out the riff-raff. The web was never intended for most of what people use it for anyway. It was supposed to be for documents and stateless applications like old-school web forums and imageboards. It was never supposed to be for "apps".
We will never see a revival of imageboards until people stop treating them like social media. 4chan is never going offline because
it's run by Five Eyes and the US DoD program. A small website that isn't in their fold is never going to grow into something like 8chan did. If it does it'll be brought into the fold or destroyed by bad actors much like the webring project was. You either comply and let them study the users or you get the CP spam dumped directly from the Government's large database. There are no other options. You will never do anything sekrit or maintain a sekrit club on a global network they control.
They are going to continue purging old data from the global network and re-writing history until someone stops them. There is no political solution. There might have been a chance for a political solution 10-20 years ago but that time has long passed. They are tightening the noose around our collective necks and you're either going to go along or you're going to lose access. We're going to be in a similar situation as the Chinese very soon. What with the social credit and the federal IDs and the limits on what and how much you can use the network. Anyone that doesn't see it coming is living in lala land.
>The fact of the matter is that 99% of internet communication is idle chatter and attempting to record and archive every conversation of every person ever is a fool's errand.This is exactly what they're doing and the NSA data centers being built all over the world at an unprecedented rate is proof enough.

Is amazing how empty some imageboards feel without a sidebar.
Like lynx stuffs everything into a comment box or hides it away behind an icon, kissu makes it all just stand out at a glance. I always know what I'm doing and where I'm going. Lots of features, but they're all right in front of you.

The Kissu-UI focses on expressiveness and fluid transitions... I have no idea what Lynx is going for... And I won't say that the Kissu-UI has always been good, but it's gone through a lot of major itterations to make it something nice. Lynx is just the same old crap for the past 5 years.

No.112027
>>112021I think most people fail at advertising based on what they
want more than what they already have. There's not much reason for vocaloid posters to move here without others present. However for people like the songmakers or server builders that have really long drawn out posts and potential discussions for their stuff it'd probably be good to advertise that to those interested that fit the culture of the board. Since what makes a board
really good isn't just a bunch of people with different ideas, but a culmination of people that can bounce off each other with talk about their interest.
Do that, and then as more people start to talk and make stuff others will naturally notice and get interested too and as they come more they'll bring their varied interests with them as well and then the cycle continues until you have an a bunch of different thriving subcultures. The
only place within imageboards that has that right now is 4chan and that's why it simply has no true alternative. But with smart enough advertising I feel like someone, if not us, could turn that around somehow.

>>112025I used to be able to actually do both post on altchans and 4chan at the same time, but it just became too much at some point. Everywhere I went people were trying to stir up some sort of

4/a/ semi-regularly organizes cytube streams and stealth advertises them with a link inside an image (because direct links get deleted). Maybe advertising streams hosted on kissu that way could be a way to gradually put the site on anons' radar without looking too spammy. It also naturally selects for better-than-average posters, because only anons interested in the show mentioned in the OP will click the image.

The best way to advertise is probably just to post stuff that gets made here in relevant threads to give people an idea of what the site is about while still contributing positively to their experience there. You get a slow stream of people who like the content and want to find the source and get in people's minds as an option for when things break like this. Has to be done in advance, though.

Part of the problem with getting traffic off of 4chan and to other sites is that 4chan has everything, pretty much every hobby has a dedicated board or general. Most altchans only cover a certain niche and as soon as a user wants to discuss something outside of that, they have to find another site. Why shift between 4-5 sites to discuss stuff when you can just use one?
No.112052
No,
people say the problem with alternative imageboards is not a lot of people, but it's really that the most motivated people gravitate to high volume platforms so they can get the most attention for their things.
So you can find lots of alternative imageboards, but the group of people who are interesting is normally limited to the owner and a circle around him.
It's imageboards which have a strong sense of identity that tend to get the better flavors of people and attract interesting people to them

>>112050Homesteading, huh. I can't really think of any places with that sort of focus, but it sounds interesting to me. It's not rare to see cooking threads in lots of various boards, but that's about it. Kohlchan might have discussion around it since it has an older demographic than most. Then there's the /tg/-oriented places that again have an older demographic, but also learn towards crafts due to the hobby. Unfortunately, it's also a subject that some people mix politics into, so it might exist on some political-oriented imageboards that I don't pay much attention to.
It's really hard for me to find places that I mesh with, personally, as there's still a lot of 4chan reactionary outrage branding involved.
>>112056It's funny you mention the robot wife one while I was writing my earlier remark. That's a place I would be interested in if it was more "let's make our dreams a reality" and less pol9k. I don't mean to focus on that one in particular as this has happened to me repeatedly when searching around on different imageboards. The subject of discussion is the focus, true, but atmosphere and culture is just as important to me. Finding imageboards that don't share 4chan's culture is pretty rare, and if you have 4chan's culture I don't notice a difference apart from CSS.

Makes me wonder why they even make these things if they're just going to emulate modern 4chan.

Don't know if I've changed or chans have. Weird seeing altchans going strong. Figured with no new users most of them would have died years ago.

soyjakparty is dead.
The original domain was taken down, then the site was shut down with the official reason being that the owner not being able to pay for the site.
There is also a source about a rogue mod took over the site, banned everyone, and leaked info about previous mod teams.

>>112641...why was this posted in a porn general?
Anyways, by coincidence I was able to check the site with an -S the other day by consulting the wiki (pic is from its main page) but couldn't tell what the fuck was going on. From looking at talk pages and booru comments it seems there's also a ton of CP spamming going on, currently happening in some new bunker as well, that's another issue to take into account.
A shame, really. That was an incredibly strong community.

It is (I won't say
was yet) a place that prides itself on wiping out other imageboards and as someone that is a big fan of those (hence my presence in this thread) I am ideologically opposed to those that seek to destroy them.
If it stays dead then it means imageboards as a whole will receive less malicious antagonism. I can't pretend to be neutral about it.

>>983118chan was a tremendous shitshow but I honestly miss it
Now that I think about it everything that transpired was unique to that time, I don't think we'll ever see something quite like it again
The 4chan exodus, the /fatpeoplehate/, the /intl/ saga, Hotdud and his cronies, the constant drama that eventually killed the site, the sheer number of groups crammed onto the website, the GETball competition
Everything surrounding /intl/ in particular was incredibly hilarious like the time they spammed /intl/ into Top 10 and when DudWheels got the entire site to raid /intl/.
The website was much smaller than 4chan but it felt so much bigger because of how many groups there were.
I remember browsing 8chan looking for niche and hidden boards.
A shame most of it was lost to 404 and time
So many memories

>>112662Then I would argue that an imageboard is not geared towards that style of communication. They would be better off going to a proper chatroom rather than continuing to force the imageboard format to accomodate something it wasn't designed for.
>>112666That label implies a measure of creativity, variety, and impact, so I don't really see them as equivalents. There's a reason /raid/ never became a thing.
No.112669
>>112666I was always pretty sympathetic to the party for that reason.
>>112667The label implies some nostalgia for a past they were never really a part of and a stubborn defiance that makes them not really mind being a pariah in other people's eyes because your idea of them doesn't intrude on their fun, if anything it fuels it.
Both of those things are right out of cancer era /b/.

4taba's server is expiring soon and Vern's tired of dealing with CP on two servers at once so he may close posting and just keep it up as an archive unless anyone else trustworthy is wiling to manage it instead.

Social platforms are always based off of timeless concepts that can be traced back to Greek historical records.
