FULL CIRCLE by moot - 9/21/15 @ 10:00AM EDT

Today I'm pleased to announce that Hiroyuki Nishimura, best known as the founder of 2channel, has taken my place as the owner of 4chan.

http://archive.wired.com/techbiz/people/magazine/16-06/mf_hiroyuki?currentPage=all

Hiroyuki is a pioneer in the world of anonymous communities, and can be thought of as the great-grandfather of 4chan. His creation of 2channel in 1999 sparked an era of anonymous-centric web culture in Japan that led to the creation of Futaba Channel, the site that inspired 4chan. None of us would be using 4chan today—or potentially any anonymous image board—if it weren't for him.

I met Hiroyuki in 2011 and we became fast friends, bonding over our shared passion for creating and managing online communities. He is one of few individuals with a deep understanding of what it means to provide a digital home for tens of millions of people for more than a decade. There is nobody more qualified than Hiroyuki to lead 4chan, and I can't think of a person better suited for the task.

4chan sits on the eve of two great milestones—its 2 billionth post and 12th birthday. It has been a great privilege to serve as 4chan's founder and steward for almost twelve years, and I can't wait to see what lays in store under Hiroyuki's experienced leadership.

RIP in peace internet.

They've won, they've fucking won. Corporate fucks and sell outs always win in the end. Even if I moved to a site that didn't fuck up (moot did it way back in 08, after FBI froze the site for some suicide that was posted on /b/ and they've been keeping records since), it would never be fast enough to placate me. I will remember our years fondly but we just can't stop the fuckers.

;_;7 It's been a fun decade.

Second 8 ch exodus is now. 4chans has sucked for a few years now but "sucking" != dead. Personal data being sold to ad companies is the nail in the coffin.

>If we already get data mined by the NSA

>what's the point?

The point is that moot fought in court that DMCA and copyright is irrelevant in face of the fact that 4chan content disappears over time.

While Hiroyuki is precisely a company/corporate sellout,

and he won't fight it, he will rather receive a paycheck and destroy 4chan. They might even promise him to get rid of all his debts just to get a "symbolic" win by destroying 4chan, which is a pain in the ass for copyright collectives.

If not outright destruction, expect your reaction image folders, whether anime or otherwise, to become worthless because DMCA.

Oh shi-

Thanks to this fiasco, we've uncovered something fishy about 8chan, too.

Moot really wasn't a bad guy. He wasn't perfect but who is? He made some mistakes along the way, sure, but I don't think anybody could have managed 4chan better than he did for over a decade. 99.99% of the people that call him an asshole wouldn't have been able to do even a smidgen of what he did or sacrificed for the website. Tbh.

Agh, anyway the internet is fucking dead. Time to get irls, honestly. You'd be so much happier.

I'd do fucking anything to be that normalfaggot I was back in '09. How to undo six years of brain damage? Fml.
