Is 4chan dead?
In a move that is certain to cause anti-lulz, the popular internet nerd site 4chan.org has been down for a few days now.
It wouldn’t suprise me if 4chan went broke, after all I cant think of a demographic i’d want less than 4chan’s. Its racist, sexist, prepubescent and often sociopathic.
It’s also awesome.
Here’s some chans:
Update:
Not sure if this is true or not but here’s a comment from MrCervix below:
So I know moot, we went to high school together and my little brother just about worships the guy and spends way too much time on 4chan. I was never into amime, becuase I am not a gigantic faggot, and i never really loloked at 4chan except for /ck/, but anyway last night i called moot because my brother wanted to know wtf was up and moot said we should come over to his parents house (he has a swanky appartment near the servers in downtown Dallas, but its not very big. Great building, though). So i got my little brother and a couple six packs of lone star and some kirins and went over. There was maybe a dozen people over and when we came in moot told us 4chan was over and he wanted it to out like it started, without much fanfare.He said that he’d banked enough money from it (almost three million after taxes he said) and after the latest terrorist scare of 4chan origin this week he was afraid that he’d lose it to government fines or lawyers somehow and that he enough money for the rest of his life now anyway. Then he went on about how since 4chan got so big he didn’t any time to have fun, but he didn’t want to sell it and see his creation turned into corporate crap, so he just pulled the plug (he was a huge nirvana fan in highschool, so at least he didn’t suck on a twelve gauge) before it got completely out of control. Then he talked to my brother about anime for like an hour.
Apparently he was trying to get brought up to speed after missing out for a couple years. He said he is considering moving to Japan and writing or producing anime designed for western audiences and the the 4chan servers will be auctioned at the begining of next year and maybe the domain as well. My little brother was trying to show off or some shit and pounded one too many and puked on the kitchen floor so i threw him in the car and went home. Anyway, I thought you would want to know about this, so here it is.
Update August 2008
It looks like 4chan is experiencing a DOS (Denial Of Service) attack by a bunch of 7chan child molesters or maybe some salty old 4chan members who think newfags are ruining everything.
Moot is probably banning IPs like crazy right now but I don’t know of a really good way to stop DOS attacks. Any suggestions from my IT nerd audience? Please leave in comments.
If you don’t know anything about computers or hacking and want to learn how to hack go to WonderHowTo and learn something and stop googling my site.

They only thing bad about 4chan is the anime porn, besides that I like it a lot.

oh man that sucks, if 4chan is gone i might have to go an hero. i loved that site, it kept me busy and i guess its better than giving it to the governments but getting rid of 4chan would be a bad move on moots part i think, if he was suied anon army and all the /b/tards out there would call the lawyers and ask for battletoads 2

WAT. I call shenanigans on this one. I second the motion to an hero if 4chan is dead.

Damn, I wasn’t crazy about 4chan, but without it, all the 4channers are going to spill over into other sites and ruin the internet (ok maybe not) but its really annoying on other sites.

He won’t be successful in Japan. The competition here will eat him alive.
And when his money is gone, the girls will be, too. He’s better off importing yaoi for horny fat girls.
