| They were running on a ridiculously insecure codebase. It was bound to happen sometime eventually. This is what happens when you're the size of, well, 4chan, and slack on your OPSEC. Basically, the maintainers were about as intelligent as the average 4chan user. |

| @MalchikRepaid I just tried and I can somehow access the main page in text form, but I also get that error if I try to enter a board. |
| I doubt it'll be dead forever. They'll have it back up in a few days and it'll be business as usual after a week or so. Remember, NOTHING EVER HAPPENS! I do gotta give props to the sharty though, keeping up the tradition of hacking and raiding websites. In some weird ironic twist of fate they're kinda keeping the spirit of the old internet alive. Also, you gotta admit, it's very funny that the group that successfully hacked 4chan wasn't a far-left activist group or FBI agents, no, it was just other chan users who are mad that their favorite board got locked years ago. |

| Wish I could say "good Riddance", but never cool when people get doxxed. Also, if it stays down there's gonna be a lot of primarily 4Channer refugees dispersing around, which... jeez. The Evil has been defeated, but at what cost? |
 |
| 2025 and people don't know any better than to not use their real name and/or important email addresses on 4chan. I want to feel bad but I can't. |
 |
| Sad. Had a great time there even though I was kind of a newfag (tbh I don't think 11 years in the platform is new but that's what they told me). It was mostly based on open source tech so they can make another one (as people have been making for two decades now). |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| I wasn't able to post on 4chan for months anyway so I don't care at all lol. Fuck 4chan. |
| I hope its not gone! /pol was one of the best places for underground REAL news, with great discussion and hypothesis, as it's not censored. Heard about Covid pretty much week one as it was happening from China back in October/November that year. We saw the videos posted by dissidents: the police there were beating everyone down not complying (even old people, horrific) and locking shit up. They even took every pet in some apartment complexes that they could find, sealing them into giant bags... that was pretty horrible since you could still see them moving in these massive bags probably all clawing at each other :( Within days the entire happening was broken down and people predicted what would happen months before anyone else, although there were several theories so it wasn't clear what to believe or how serious to take it until later. Most of the Covid "problem" was of course the lockdowns coming later, which some ppl actually anticipated as early as November that year. Even the vaccine and everything that happened was predicted early. Pretty smart ppl there lmao, but maybe all you need is to understand people and pattern recognition. From the start the Chinese anons were telling us near the start was a lab and they said it was a leak, but that seemed too obvious and muddled with all the different theories it was hard to tell if that part was true or not. Some theorized that the leak was on purpose to hurt economies worldwide in China's favor, but I don't feel that's been proven or disproven. A lot of what you see in news is not accurate and LATE (in the case of Covid, months behind) so much is not reported because the media/government is all obviously complicit to make money (clearly controlled by something bigger if you know you know) and this is routinely proven by videos from everyday people not looking for clout in a forum where they can be uncensored. Now X might be the place for that kinda news but.. ugh lmao. It's such a cringe site now more free but kinda lamer under right winger try-hards. Telegram can be good too for info, but feels illegal lol. And the /pol humor was so dark and edgy that was great, hard to find that anywhere else. So many good memes started on 4chan before they hit everyone else years later.  |
Shishio-kunApr 15, 1:55 PM
| yeah, it was hilarious. Also you forgot the best stuff: Many moderators were government users, and this was know because many of their emails used government address with real name (this helped to doxx them). And the site didnt get a security update in a long time. Add this to the fact they also leaked the source code... its going to be a while if it ever goes back online. Well, it was deserved, idk what we will do without or made up green texts, now that the truth is out, I dont think many users will come back. also, ewww Bsky... |

| Nah it isn't gone for good necessarily https://x.com/4chan/status/1912242601102844078 Many will just go elsewhere and might not come back though |

| Well, given vast swathes of Twitter is indistinguishable from 4chan now in the amount of hard-r's dropped per capita, they have their cutting-edge replacement site ready. But otherwise I wouldn't be that sure it's gone for good. There was a concerted effort to shut down Kiwifarms, a smaller website, with mainstream journos joining in the fight. Most they could do is have it be down for a few days via pressuring Cloudflare until they found a Russian alternative, 3 years later, the site is up to this day. |

| @deg It's because Hiro (the guy who bought 4chan in 2015) is insanely incompetent and the only changes he made were attempts to make the site profitable. It's pretty much confirmed now that the operating system of the servers stopped being updated as soon as ownership of 4chan transferred to Hiro. |
| Good fucking riddance. 4chan has been trash since the early/mid 2010s. That site is completely hijacked by jews (literally) and think tanks/ngos. The essence of imageboard culture has long been warped and died out on that site, all that was left was a shadow of its former self. |
| Also I hope all the mods are killed and Moot is publicly lynched |
| I'm conflicted. It's a cesspool of degeneracy, but it was at least an entertaining cesspool. They did give us Wojaks, though. I hate despise those things. |
| Who cares? 4chan is an fbi honeypot anyways. |

| Do'h! Now what am I going to do with my life?!?! |

| They'll be back, this isn't the first time 4chan's gone down. Even with how progressively worse the site's gotten over the years, I'm still going through withdrawals of certain threads on /a/ and /jp/. Also, fuck jannies. |

| As someone who is out of the loop with this, I'm surprised! I wonder if another website will come and replace it |

| @Lost_Viking It'll be back, sure, but this could leave a lasting mark, and you gotta admit, it is kinda pathetic just how relatively easily they got taken down, and by whom. We're not talking about some random website here, we're talking about 4chan, THE 4chan. So even if and when it does come back, I think we can all at least agree that the site is completely dead in some spiritual sense. I know oldfags have been saying that for years but I feel this event puts the final nail in the coffin. |
| I never used 4chan, so I won't miss it, but I doubt it will be gone forever. They'll be back. In the meantime, my concern is these idiots infesting the rest of the Internet. They're not welcome here. Though having said that, I'd rather have them here than 8channers... now THOSE are foul freaks. |

| @Cybercat2000 It definitely was not 90%, but you are right in that it was a lot of them. 4chan was important for much of online culture as a whole. |

| Truthfully, that website has been in a dire state for nearly a decade. After Hiroyuki bought it back in 2015, the website was updated once and never again. I think he only bought it to assuage his wounded ego after the burger father and child stole 2ch from him, anyway. Auron said: You beat me to it! I was going to bring this up, and the fact that there are other image boards for people who were too extreme for 4chan. Even if 4chan itself disappears, the displaced will just end up making another place. But otherwise I wouldn't be that sure it's gone for good. There was a concerted effort to shut down Kiwifarms, a smaller website, with mainstream journos joining in the fight. Most they could do is have it be down for a few days via pressuring Cloudflare until they found a Russian alternative, 3 years later, the site is up to this day. traed said: That percentage is made up but it was probably more people than you realise. A lot of people back then were from /a/ or /m/ and considerably more "normal" than most people seem to think a channer is. People thought everyone on 4chan was a /b/ poster, then /v/, then /r9k/ and then /pol/. Sometimes /a/ or /m/ were the only place for timely and in depth conversation for a series airing.Few people even mentioned it here so no it absolutely was not 90%. A good portion of MAL users came from other anime sites in general though. |
