/newspaper/ - 8chan Newspaper Bunbunmaru

This thread is simply for interesting screenshots on 8chan that you've saved.

A day ago, a user on >>>/meta/ brought up a thread on reddit.com asking about why 2ch users were suddenly using reddit. It turns out that many japanese users were flocking to reddit due to the imminent depriciation of almost every 2ch browser when the API is changed. The API requires keys to be used, and the keys must not be in the source code, which means that every open source 2ch app is not allowed to use the new 2ch API. This leaves only closed source app on windows, which is run by a controversial figure that is accused of selling data.

Hotwheels explains the situation in this post:

▶Anonymous 8chan Administrator 03/04/15 (Wed) 12:21:13 a319fe No.68294

(This post contains my observations and opinions and does not reflect the official stances of 2ch.net, N.T. Technology or Race Queen, Inc.)

The story is not as black and white as the Redditors are making it seem.

2ch has a few very big problems. In February of last year, long time administrator and previous owner Hiroyuki Nishimura had a dispute with the owner of the domain and split and created his own website at 2ch.sc.

2ch has an antiquated API that works on SHIFT-JIS DAT files that contain text delimited by <>. 2ch.sc works by scraping all the .DAT files which can be used to create a mirror of 2ch.net. Then, 2ch.sc spams 2ch.net with links to .sc claiming it as the legitimate 2ch.

Nishimura's business was in selling user data from 2ch to corporations, including IP addresses and DAT files. This is how he paid for the hosting and became a millionaire. Therefore, it didn't matter to him at all how usable the actual site was, ad revenue was meaningless. 2ch.net itself is a mess, it's confusing even for Japanese users. Threads don't auto update, there are no backlinks, the indexes are almost unusable, and until recently there wasn't even an official search function. So, 2ch has an open DAT API that tons of software supports for reading, and a bbs.cgi POST API that it supports for writing.

/newspaper/ may just be the most underrated board in all of 8chan

The denizens of /sp/ also known as /sp/artans have turned obtaining highly desired post numbers into a game of their own, building a "quilt" of their victories. Over the past four days they have managed to get the 2000000 on /v/, Defended their 88888 and 90000 during the Superbowl party, /pol/'s 1111111 the next day.

On this very day they managed to steal the 80000 on /int/ which indecently caused a raid upon /sp/ which burned out/failed. Shortly after that, /sp/ went on the offensive against /int/ which caused the board owner to lock the board to newly opened threads for a short while. After the users of /int/ could make threads again there was a small user rebellion against the board owner as well as tearing one another apart for the failed raid that had happened earlier. Currently as I type this /int/ is attempting to raid /sp/ again in a renewed assault. Will /bane/ show up to help /int/?

Many people accuse the /sp/artans of using scripts to obtain all these precious GETS, until there is solid proof of this we can only assume the assumptions are butthurt as they say. Now I asked /sp/ how they coordinate the GET stealing and the solitary response I obtained was "teamwork*", from lurking I can say this statement is true for they have an up-to-date thread on upcoming GETS from various boards here on 8ch as well as displaying their up-to-date "aids quilt" as it has been dubbed.

Will there be updates, only time can tell.

*In some circles this teamwork is also known as autism.

Above I have posted the /sp/ quilt and /int/ propaganda from the raids.

Britbongers have been busy on /pol/ lately, when a tripfag that goes by the name "TheOnlyAustralianInBrit/pol/" created a fake twitter account for the Labour party called @BootleLabour.

https://twitter.com/BootleLabour

On this account he posted fake posters that brit/pol/ made about diversity and how it "enriches our society" one such poster caught the eye of Ex-Tory MP Louise Mensch to which she retweeted to a 100k followers. Extreme banter and keks were had in the connected thread where they instructed the Australian to keep posting and digging the hole.

Eventually the Labour Party's official press twitter account came out to say that ".@BootleLabour is not an official account and is not representative of the Party's views"

Brit/pol/ then told the Australian poster to make it look like the Labour party were covering it up and it worked.

So far nobody believes that it is a fake account.

I-I hope opinion pieces are alright. I originally posted this on /b/ but I thought it would be well-suited to here. If it's off-topic, I apologise.

I've heard people say a few times that the Internet is dying, that chan culture is dying, shit like that. I used to think so too, but I'm here today to tell you that you're fucking wrong.

>b-but no one knows the history!
So what? Do you know the intricacies of the history of your country, back to its founding (Amerifats excepted), or even past like 1600? Fuck no. Expecting every anon to know the maymays in common usage in 2005 is the equivalent of that. The important thing is the legacy of that time, and there's a huge legacy. Hell, the reason furries are hated above all other cunts with a persecution complex and a weird fetish is because it was trendy to hate them on FYAD over a decade ago. Like, that's it. There are other self-righteous faggots who are into weird shit but furries specifically catch so much shit because when FYAD first flooded into 4chan they had just been discovered and were the fashionable target – and furfags remain a common target for rusing even today.

>the normalfags are invading!
Yeah, okay, so what? Normalfags ruin everything, sure, but there's always going to be somewhere to run. Imageboards specifically are pretty fucking impenetrable to the average person, unless they're already inducted – look at the usability reports for 8chan, they don't fucking get it. Same goes for IRC, it's completely alien to them. Le Reddit xD and Tumblr are a different issue entirely, by the way, I'll get to them. The real cancer is taking the Internet as super fucking serious business (which I guess makes this cancer, but fuck you) and not just laughing everything off. It's not real life, don't get so angry, like close the window nigga walk away from the screen ahahaha.

>the Golden Age is ended!
When the fuck even was the Golden Age? Depending on who you ask the Golden Age ended before I was fucking born, and I started using 4chan in 2006. Do you know about Usenet and the Eternal September? 1993, nigger. 1993. I bet the users of old-school BBSes were bitching about the end of an era when Internet access got big. But aside from that I usually hear one of two dates for the Golden Age: 2005 and 2008. Well, here's the cold, hard truth: those times are gone. ThePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Today the developers of the rather infamous game "Hatred" visited /v/ for a AMA session with the boards users. So far the developers have answered much of the userbases questions.

To view the AMA an anon conveniently archived them for future reference/viewing.

Editors notes

Seems halfchan got word of this and managed to overtake the oceans in salt levels which is pretty fucking impressive.

Is he a troll? Is his board satire? Or is he completely serious? Who knows, or, more importantly, cares? In just the few weeks since Nolongersilenced created /sjw/, it's become a festival of funposting that some anons have said is reminiscent of 4chan's [s4s], rising first to fourth place in the board list before sinking to a still respectable 19th.

NLS has said that he'd like /sjw/ to be a serious discussion board centered around SocJus, and there is an element of that – mostly anons telling him why it is retarded, without anyone else to hold the SJW line. While there have been attempts to bring in SJWs from other sites, 8chan's reputation as the Internet hate machine seems to have held them at bay. (Or maybe, anonymity is poison to SJWs.) In the absence of actual SJWs, /sjw/ is populated about equally by shitposters and trolls.

Scrolling through the first page, we first see three stickies filled with srs discussion [read: people baiting NLS] followed by standard shitposts down to the bottom. One that stands out is a proposition by an avatarfag, reading "The only thing 'objective' around here is that my penis belongs inside your boypussy," a one-way ticket to a response from NLS. He's insistent that he's straight, even going so far as to search up and watch (interracial) porn on camera to prove it. Naturally this has convinced no one, and the offers for benis in boipussy continue to flood in from all over 8chan.

While he's has grown slightly more hardened to the various shock images and spam posts that he deals with on a day to day basis, he's not exactly thick-skinned either. When /baphomet/ discovered that his real name is Danny, he added a wordfilter to change "Danny" to "[redacted]". NLS is fond of wordfilters in general, and has filtered both "nigger" and "faggot" to "slur". That "nigger" and "faggot" don't always mean "nigger" and "faggot" is either lost on him, or unimportant in his eyes. Nevertheless, his tolerance for our "racist, homophobic, misogynist" (his words) culture has increased such that he can now browse /b/, and tripfag while he does it.

I caught up with NLS while he was posting in a thread on /b/, with his trip on. At first I asked to have a conversation over Tox or IRC. He said he didn't have clients, and ever-wary of viruses (or something), he refused to download them. In the end he created a throwaway email agreed to talk with me there. Here follows the interview.

holy shit this is a cool board. why don't you make weekly threads on /b/ and /pol/?

/svidya/ made in reaction to shit moderation and gradually degrading post quality
/v/irgins are leaving /v/ entirely or are now browsing /svidya/ in tandem in response to the current /v/ administration, the ever growing amount of newfags in /v/, and the return of cancerous elements. Many in /svidya/ lament September's state of /v/ and would like to return to that.

In 4 days have reached 1000 posts and hover at around 100 unique IPs. As of March 2nd.

Developing story.

/v/ mods are now being more active in moderation for the first time, but are still overrun by the amount of shitposting they have allowed to grow in their complacency or outright faggotry in some cases. This may or may not be a direct response to /svidya/'s existence.

What does /newspaper/ think?

A bit of a personal thing, and a call for help. I wrote a short manual for how to make and manage a board on 8chan, since there are a lot of frequently asked questions on >>>/operate/. If someone would be so kind and proofread it, that would be nice.

Please document the paranoia of the /pol/ moderation staff. When the board eventually dies this will be a piece of 8chan history that will need to be documented.

On January 31, a brother from >>>/bane/ posted a photograph of a field with two buildings that bore a striking resemblance to the field depicted in the opening scene of Christopher Nolans third Batman film, T he Dark Knight Rises. The area is an RAF airfield in Cardington, UK and off limits to civilians. The brothers of /bane/ contemplate holding a "bane convention" in UK, cosplaying as various characters from the scene and performing a reenaction of the original events.
