People would call out reddit or twitter screencap threads, and theyd usually cap at like 50 replies (and occasionally get a public ban for good measure)
So yes
I've seen it said that Moot was a normalfag. Was he, and was that why he left, or did he leave for some ulterior reason we may never understand?
I genuinely thought his name was Chris Mootenburg for 10+ years.
>>719725379 >did he leave for some ulterior reason we may never understand?
Pressure from the feds and the fact that owning a website like this was a really bad look for someone if they ever wanted a proper career in tech. Especially back then

Yes, because these failed normalfags started migrated in here from around 2012-2014 and made a board that started declining since 2006-2008 even worse by bring irl shit into it

I dont get why they have a general and not just a /vg/ thread or even their own board
I wonder what the threads would look like with the IP counter

You know, there are angles of Gamergate you could be scrutinizing fairly, like asking why 4chan's biggest raid of the 2010s was encapsulated by a hashtag, but you didn't, because you're an activist. Try harder next time.

2014-2016. The coverage it got made people think it was a conservative secret club when before then most of the users were lolbertarians

If the board under Moot was a truckstop toilet it is a designated shitting street under Nagasaki.
People in general self moderated better, but the culture has shifted too much now because of reddit influx and phonefaggots.

Sure anon, 90% of the userbase in this godforsaken shithole is clearly third worlders...which is why american politics and e-celebs are the most recurrent shitposting topic.
Truly, it must be those darn indians who post about offtopic shit like Texas banning lolis or argue about "owning the libs/jews/shitskins/feminazis" and other ideology fueled rants every goddamn fucking day like the tumblrinas actual 4chan users despised around 15 years ago.

Nta but I was only a few years behind you, and I ask myself why I still come here every time I participate in a thread. Remember when posts and replies were more than just one sentence bait or shills :') >>719725981
Wheels. He was our last chance and he abandoned us
