>>173404>I'm still confused about how this whole spur.us service worksBasically as an user you and your IP are being analyzed by Spur, and depending on your behavior you are classified as a normal/honest user or as a potential proxyfag. The data generated when you enable Spur's domains and let its code run when you solve a captcha for the first time is uploaded to Spur's database of known IPs used by VPN/proxy services to check if your IP doesn't belong to these services. Additionally, it checks if you aren't doing weird things, like appearing in different locations in a short time (jumping between IPs), having the same short range of IPs be used by a lot of users, having a timezone/language that doesn't match your IP's location, and if you do, it flags you as a potential proxyfag and lets the website know it. 4chan's staff then use that data to ban and block posters, IPs and IP ranges.

Maybe one day we'll have a fresh batch of Gen ??? users who want an imageboard experience who have never used 4chan and have no interest in it. But at this point in time, most people here or on any other altchan is a 4chan user or former user, and whatever their interests are, 4chan will always be there and often it will win their attention. Purely by force of inertia. Yes, it's awful for all sorts of reasons but "everyone" is there. For example, my interests are anime/manga/VNs/vidya/lit. All of the corresponding boards on 4 are absolutely horrendous but any thread on any of the corresponding boards except maybe 4/lit/ has more activity than all of kissu combined. The last straw for me as far as 4 goes was them wanting me to whitelist those sites. I don't know what they are but I'm not doing it. But for most people that's acceptable.

Twitter is not a demographic I'd want to pull from; it's emblematic of everything I loathe and sort of the exact antithesis of anonymous imageboards with people chasing fame, monetization, and of course the algorithm-incentivized conflict. There are probably a few decent people there out of billions, the ones that use it because they can't think of any alternative. I don't know how you'd specifically attract only those dozen or so people spread across the planet.
What you would probably need to pull from, and I'm sure it would bother people, is the people chasing the "indie web" thing (as bothersome as that term happens to be). Many of them do have only a passing interest in such things, but it's more than most people have, so that's your growth potential.

In general, if I use an old revival service, I expect to use it like it's the old days. If there's some kohais born later that have no real conception of what it was like back then and still insist on using their phones and just indulge in the aesthetic without anything else, then I simply pity them. If you use a revival service then you should have the self-discipline to not glue yourself to the worst of modernity.
>>173744What happened to Vidlii? I checked on it recently and it didn't seem so bad.
>>173769That's a good point. But the problem is WHERE to get a batch of the new userbase. Social media has fostered userbases that are inherently drama-hungry and care about superficial status rather than actually discussing or producing good content. There's a lot of good faith people, but at the same time, there's too much bad mixed in. No one goes to hobby forums anymore, and the worst part is, people who want to go to hobby forums can't find active ones anymore, so they are forced to use subreddits which is filled with the worst kinds of people. And advertising on subreddits or twitter is a bad idea.

Many of them do have only a passing interest in such things, but it's more than most people have, so that's your growth potential. I wish that were true, but the problem is that these people advertise on twitter and reddit, so a lot of those drama-seeking people infest those communities and kill them, I've noticed it as a pattern every time one of those indie web communities fall.

No.173816
>>173815>No one goes to hobby forums anymore, and the worst part is, people who want to go to hobby forums can't find active ones anymore,Sadly, yes. Any hobby related forum that does not have a very active community can be doomed:
- If the usual offtopic board's activity ended overtaking the hobby boards, the community survives, but the ones that cared about the hobby end leaving. This is usually not the worst part as the knowledge repository usually survives.
- The forum starts succumbing to internet rot disease. The administrator has moved on with his life, the staff is diminished and either the forum becomes too expensive to maintain or there's no expertise to fix it anymore because the software was heavily customised, no one understand the ninja code, or is literally bobby trapped (SomethingAwful, if the rumors are true). In the worst case scenario, it migrates to Discord.
- This one also applies to imageboards, but the surviving hobby forum may have developed a severe toxicity problem both for users and staff. There are internet novices, there is a forum, but they are driven away, and probably end in places like social media (again).
>so they are forced to use subreddits which is filled with the worst kinds of people. And advertising on subreddits or twitter is a bad idea.I never had a reddit account, but from what I understand if you are a complete begginer with a brand new account you can't even access the big subrreddits due to the karma system, forcing you to build reputation on smaller subreddits. many people would end giving up before reaching that. Not to mention the possibility of petty downvoting if another redditor basement dweller decides they hate you or wants to keep the community isolated.
I'm glad I got to experience internet before social media and the concentration of activity on a few ever growing big services. At the same time, I have never been able to fit in the current mainstream places. When people where oversharing and going public (names, real life photos, selfies, talking about their daily life as public posts), I was paranoid about privacy and the risk of my internet activity being linked to my IRL identity. Those normies for whom being an open book was the only thing they had ever known did not trust me.

>>173815>What happened to Vidlii?So I've been around since it launched. It originally started out as a clone of old YouTube (it might as well be one of the first attempts at one of those "old social media revival" projects. The creator and former owner, Jan, was mostly absent and didn't moderate his community too much leading to a lot of shitflinging in the early days. Pretty much every mod he introduced was met with criticism in one way or another, mostly because a lot of them were indeed powertripping jannies, but i don't doubt that a few of them likely meant well and ended up being chased off the site due to how toxic the community was. But overall, it was avoidable and outside of the copy and paste fake nostalgia videos there was some decent OC here and there. Popular youtubers like NFKRZ even promoted it back then and I remember this specific incident pissing off a lot of the members of the site because they thought it'd bring kuso people.
Eventually the site was bought by Kolyma Network (same owners as the mspaint bald man with glasses site) and it became a cesspool of gore, school shooter tiktok edits, porn, N word spam and I think there even was a stabbing in Germany associated with someone on the site. It became an anarchy video sharing website basically.
By that point i had already stopped using it. But I was told that some guy named Aniki tried to fix it and now it's slightly less kuso than it was by the beginning of the decade. But I wouldn't know, I don't use it since Jan quit.

You obviously can't touch with sight. At least with cuteness or serenity you will feel better and more whole but lewdness will only inflame you and leave you destitute.

What made /a/ in the 2010s so toxic compared to /jp/? I could never relax on 2010s /a/ because it felt like anons were aggressive at the slightest non-conformity. It almost felt like a cult, now that I think about it.
No.174864

Think of how twitter threads get deleted on /a/, but are a clickbait mainstay of every other board to the extent that people make it part of their business model to advertise their account across 4chan. This kind of cultural protection by staff is something /a/ has had over every other board and it's caused the mistaken belief that they're just naturally better than other posters. It's lead to a situation where they are actually more susceptible to trolling because of the conditioning that a mod will swoop in to save them from themselves.

After that fiasco where he (or one of his clique) basically went rogue in 2015 and made a sticky screaming that hiroyuki will never touch their precious culture, he took a much lower profile. He's still an arbitrary fuck and I'm more than certain /dbs/ was RA subtly punishing Kami for it.

The DBS shitposters didn't come from nowhere. There was a certain period on /v/ where shows like FSN Unlimited Blade Works and Kill la Kill were being promoted in off-topic threads, for many /v/rigins at the time who thought anime was uncool these were their literal first anime shows, leading to many of them to begin visiting /a/. Then there was that "ironic anime" period, with shows like Umaru, Dragon Maid and Gabriel Dropout, that again attracted /v/irgins to /a/ as anime became a kind of badge for being "anti-SJW" during the Gamergate fallout, many of these /v/rigins didn't even really like these shows on their own, they were just following a contrarian fad basically.

No.175000
>>174992My observations over the years paint the opposite: hierarchy is established not by liking things but by hating things. The posturing involved with /a/ and related places is that you must loudly proclaim how much everything sucks or no one will believe you "know" anime. That show you like? It sucks. That genre? It sucks.
It's a particular brand of vocal cynicism where admitting to enjoying something opens you to judgment because you could only like Show X if you've only watched 5 shows and don't "belong". It's the immaturity that most people are supposed to grow out of, like their 12 year-old self that grew an embarrassing excuse of a mustache that they were convinced at the time made them look like a badass. The 12 year-old mustache of /a/ is extreme aggression and antagonism that they are convinced is the hallmark of a mature adult with 9000 shows on their belt.
Some people love that type of culture (it is particularly appealing to teen boys), but I hated it because I wanted to have casual fun instead of needing to justify my enjoyment. Some people will say i was gatekept from it, but the town inside the gate isn't one I wanted to enter. Being outside of 4chan these days I can talk about anime to my heart's content and it's quite nice to be able to say "I like Show X" and not see 20 people crawl out of the woodwork to disparage the comment with the knowledge that doing so increases their status.

In the early 2010s it was everywhere on the internet that rejected a lot of anime and other otaku stuff for being weird and /a/ was the only place you could discuss many shows. It's /a/ where you could just enjoy a show about cute girls doing cute things without needing to justify that it's actually a deep intellectual work. Someone who has watched 9000 shows could certainly be a jackass and just be leaving stuff on to make their MAL number go up, but more often it means they actually enjoy anime and have watched a variety of shows and enjoy exploring the medium.
You clearly have a chip on your shoulder and are just making up things that never happened.
>>175001I can't make my argument any easier to follow for you. The number of anime you have watched does not determine the quality of your post, but a bad post can make it obvious you have not watched many anime. The post is not bad because you have not watched many anime, the post is bad because it's bad. People who have watched tons of anime can also make bad posts.

In my opinion /a/ and /jp/ culture died when consuming and sharing fan-translated content stopped being the norm (remember when animesuki had a torrent tracker?). I don't get what you intend to gatekeep these days when anime, manga, even VNs and doujin games get official translations now and are as accessible to people on twitter as they are to you. The fan culture died due to external factors, there is no cool kids club where you had to know the right sites to even watch things anymore. Also, VLC is now good enough.
No.175060
>>175056I wouldn't say it "died". These are still groups that exist in stark contrast to the mainstream fandoms that are very new with their own cultural values that often strongly oppose at least some aspects traditional 2D culture. The stuff going mainstream does mean you can't instantly bond with someone with a 2D profile picture the way you could 20 years ago, but I think there's still corners where you can be with your own kind, so to speak. I feel like part of this is just what happens when you get older, though, and have trouble relating to each new group of people.
I think the divide comes down more to personality and values these days, which probably isn't far from how it should be. The people that want attention or recognition (or even money) can do their thing on twitter or discord while imageboards can be left along to do their own thing free of such burdens.
Unfortunately most people want that aforementioned fame or money for doing those fan projects. It's just the nature of the internet these days and imageboards just aren't a good place to get either of those things, by design.

I used to have a 4chan pass but since the hack I decided to stop monetarily supporting the website. They refused to deliver a data breach notification after we almost got doxxed by the hacker, you know, something that's actually illegal because any US based website suffering from a data breach must notify affected users. I also had money on their third party advertisement system Danbo or whatever. I don't believe Danbo was affected by the hack in any way, but that site has my bank account linked in so if a hacker attacks them they could see potentially damaging info about me an hundreds of other users. 4chan mods refused to acknowledge any of these issues so I refuse to support their site.

>>177138Remember Hola, Tuxtler and other "free VPNs apps" from the 2010s?
They were owned by companies exploiting legal gray areas to commit cybercrime.
When you installed those apps you agree in their tos to install a backdoor that lets them use your IP/connection remotely.
So Hola is a standard VPN with their own IP block. The owners of Hola, an israeli company named Bright Data, collects all these remote IPs and sells access to them as a "Residential VPN". This is basically renting a tool for cybercriminals to be untraceable. It can't be easily legislated away because it crosses international barriers and requires congressmen to understand the finer print of a bunch of tech kuso they don't care for.
All real VPNs except for a few obscure ones (or ones that rent residential IP blocks from an ISP but its not like 4chan is above blocking those up) are blocked pretty comprehensively. Residential VPNs on the other hand are impossible to block, you can only detect them and require an actual heuristics package to do so.
That's how 4chan and Kiwifarms dealt with these new spammers, a service called Spur specializes in infiltrating and studying this networks does a bunch of heuristics on every IP to determine if they are compromised residential VPN endpoints and then developers do additional analytics to specifically detect if they come from a known spammer group.

Maybe it's a bit off-topic to complain about this, but I guess this is a 4chan meta thread and this is related to 4chan. First I want to clarify I don't "follow" any eceleb or care about influencers past a surface level "this guy makes videos I watch sometimes". I don't care about who they are, their lives or whatever. So let's say I want to discuss video essays made by Poopyhead123. Why shouldn't I be able to do it on either /tv/ (yes, YouTube IS the new TV) or a board dedicated to internet culture? VTumors got their own board, but apparebtly asking for a board where I can discuss videos or stuff I see online unrelated to 3DPD grifters cashing on lonely men is taboo? The only argument I have ever seen around is:
¥But what if doxxing!?
Gee, I don't know... Maybe ban them? Delete such posts? Just like doxxing and raiding are banned accross the site no prob. Hell, I'm sure /vt/ has more issues regarding doxxing than any internet culture board could ever have.
Also an internet culture board wouldn't even have to be restricted to videos. All those Twitter threads infesting other boards could go there, meta discussions over social media and forums, sharing memes, making OC... Lots of possibilities. But no, we can't have an internet culture board because reasons.

The same thing that currently plagues 4chan (flatlining of site-based internet culture and politicization of all online discourse) is the same thing that makes that kind of board both redundant and unappealing.

Martin is a schizo circlejerker and half of team knew this, you can literally read them on old.sage.moe calling MR a weirdo in the open if you look him up. He was only a mod because he was 24/7 working /b/ and he was part of moot's IRL clique. While i think he is right that moot was an angry little twerp, the rest is literal slander because moot ghosted him during an emergency and he never forgave him. moot like weev because he was an /i/ troll as, again, nobody gave a kuso about his neo side. Politics were anti-lulz
moot hanged out with epstein because the TIME 2009 prank threw up to stardom and he could no longer hide while attending university. He was some NY middle class urbanite, who was also a shut in who spent 99% of his free time watching anime, suddenly exchanging sweat with the cream of silicon valley and NYC editorial. He was not gonna say no to the richest guy he'll even speak to.
And you can see his actual political leaning with the people he worked with: moot worked at the ultra-liberal buzzfeed, who were some of the FIRST pushers progressive clickbait. He worked there because he was sucking off Ben Lerer, who went onto angel-finance canv.as together with a bunch of other globohomo lads, the further right of which was anderseen and he only became a trumpist years after canvas died. The right-most person in moot's circle is maybe swaglord, otherwise his "childhood friend" was literally Mallory Blair who worked at fucking Gawker. That's two separate left-leaning globohomo outlet he was peripheral to.

moot explicitly said he added /pol/ because he felt guilty over screwing his own communities over and a fight with Sherrod DeGrippo, the original founder of ED who killed the ED community because they were unmonetizable, made him decide to bring it back.

>So much that he had a mental breakdown over it and nuked the board, causing a massive exodus to 8chan at the timeInfinity didn't exist in 2011. Neither did their mom & dad Wizardchan and Vichan net.
savetheintenet made 4chon as a /r9k/ + /pol/ bunker and that site died a year later, predictably, after moot brought back both boards. The exodus you speak of happens in 2014 during the peak of the culture war.
Real answer should be that /pol/ was brought back a day BEFORE moot meet epstein. He was shitposting with fags in Oct 23 7:00 AM then meet Epstein the same afternoon. Boris was asking Epstein about moot in Oct 24th 15:00. They either met up on 23th's afternoon, or morning in the 24th.

https://archive.tinychan.net/read/prog/1319370209Not only you have precedent of moot being crippled by his own ethics and a reason with DeGrippo's exchange that explains why moot did it, the dates don't actually add up.
If money talked, moot wouldn't have had to suck left-leaning Lerer's dick for a measly million in start up funding.
No.179862
the entire moot-epstein connection just points to moot wanting to hit it big in the NYC tech scene and wanting investors. i don't really blame him and would've gladly donated to 4chan if he still ran it today.

>moot explicitly said he added /pol/ because he felt guilty over screwing his own communities over and a fight with Sherrod DeGrippo, the original founder of ED who killed the ED community because they were unmonetizable, made him decide to bring it backAnd I don't buy that now given the new information. It sounds like a coverup.

Though personally i prefer
tinybbs>>179864Yes, after 4chan made him famous and people in his circle and university were peer pressuring him to become "someone", because 4chan 2008-2012 was literally reinventing Internet culture, and at the time people were convinced "internet culture" meant something. Even then all his panels are fucking forced, trust me, i watched them all. Why do you think he straight up disappeared as soon as dropped canvas and 4chan?
There's a funny one here. Before he was outed as Christopher Poole there were people from Virginia college complaining that he was a shut in.

>>179865>lol is this MRNo, it's not, but I'm sure moot tried to sue that guy already given his recent scrubbing of content.
>>179867>Unfortunately, vibes don't beat facts. The evidence is all archived.The e-mails are as well. He already lied about the fact that he only met him once, so he could be lying about this as well. And about the dates not matching: it doesn't need to be Epstein himself influencing him to create /pol/. It was Boris who said "the potential for manipulation is huge" after all. He had already with him before Epstein.

>>179869https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01992938.pdf>Last night and this morning in SF.>Fun. Also met some interesting people. Boris Nikolic said he met him in October 20th that very morning he sent the email, in San Fran. moot had been a panelist at the O'Reilly Summit that started October 18. They met there.
The DeGrippo exchange happened in ROFLCON II, August 2011.
Even if I assume you are right, Boris had literally 4 days to convince moot to bring an irrelevant board he wouldn't have known about, as the 4chan stud and reason anyone in 2011 cared about 4chan was /b/.
I somehow doubt Bill Gates' little Igor could convince the stubborn mule knows as Christopher Poole to reopen a board over a casual chat and maybe 4 days of emails. I think he met moot and immediately suggested he arrange for him to meet Epstein while he moved back to NYC, where he actually met Epstein iirc.

So moot didn't really want to be famous yet 4chan forced him into fame.
Kind of a shame really, but he held up pretty well throughout it, talented and stubborn little autist.

>>179870>Boris had literally 4 days to convince moot to bring an irrelevant board he wouldn't have known about/pol/ is not /new/. /new/ was just supposed to be about news, /pol/ is something else entirely. It's neither about politics nor news, just "Politically Incorrect". And even the mods themselves still have no idea what to allow and what to delete from that board, hence why it became the new /b/ (even taking its job of being the gateway to 4chan for newer users). And the way moot handled it seems like someone who had no real say in the matter in my opinion. I mean, he literally had a mental breakdown over it and had to resign a few months later. I'd just delete the board before it came to that.

>>179883>he literally had a mental breakdown over it and had to resign a few months later.that probably has more to do with him running out of legal funds after The Fappening and having people like Epstein take interest in him.

>>179883>I mean, he literally had a mental breakdown over it and had to resign a few months later.technically /v/'s doing, not /pol/. gamergate blows up, and immediately after that someone leaks moots private socials with mallory blair. Then the harassment campaign on moots irl friends begins, and that's when moot really loses it.
swaglord is also partly to blame, because he was a friend of both blair and moot, and thought it was a good idea to take a pic with blair to troll 4chan, feeding the "feminist takeover" schizophrenia
actually, swaglord could have been a big factor in convincing moot to get a statu up going and hang out with nyc journo people. irwin becomes a mod out of nowhere in early 2010 despite having no history with 4chan, then moot starts networking with lerer ventures. I wonder if he attended Columbia with moot.

>>179932Hi all! For many years I've mostly been hosting the /jp/ GTA server only on significant events, so I'm doing something unusual. I plan to host sometime this weekend (probably around 7-9 PM EST) and maybe even randomly intermittently while this thread is still up to check some new things I've been working on. Please look forward to it!
I mentioned on the 7th anniversary there was a possible chance that I would be moving to another country. This has indeed come to pass - I'm moving to East Asia in a few weeks where I'll very likely be living permanently, or for at least the last few years I'll be hosting this little event. So if you live in the US these next few sessions will very likely be the last before I enact the ultimate /jp/ filter of actually needing to live in asia or suffering 300 ping.
