    Start linking up 4chan IDs to real rich people like Musk or republican officials and watch trump start calling for the death penalty for the hacker.

            Some of the boards use a system called tripcodes, which are essentially a username and password in one that are used when writing individual posts. It allows people to prove that they’re the same person across multiple posts, without anything as identifying as a user profile attached.

              I always tough that they were cookie-generated, like you wnter the cookie assign a code for you that eventually go off. Pretty lame them pretending to not have user names while doing it.

                Tripcodes are not automatically applied. Default posting was anonymous, but a user could optionally post with a tripcode name.

                Some boards like /pol/ introduced post IDs where a randomly generated code would follow your anonymous name within a thread, so others could see which comments within a thread were the same person. That system wasn’t site wide though, and it wasn’t a persistent account.

                doesn’t this essentially make it an opt-in system to user names?

    So, a bunch of trolls got hacked? I’m not sure how I’m expected to feel about this, but frankly, I’m not feeling anything at all.

    Question: what is the significance of /qa/, why was the board banned in the first place, and why did the hackers bring it back?

      qa was my favourite 4chan board probably ever. it was a random board like /b/, but strictly SFW. so, they were the creatives of the site. the soyjak memes you see everywhere started there. they got into fights with other boards but it came to a boiling point when they raided 4chans LGBT board, and as a result qa was closed. they moved to another website. that website, or rather one of its users, then spent about a year navigating the very outdated freebsd from a decade ago running on 4chans servers until he was able to access the PHP admin panel, re-open /qa/, and then nuke all files on the server except the homepage. which itself now seems to return an SQL error.

          its a website referred to as the party, but im not saying the actual name due to the fact that it regularly gets spammed with csam and other violent things of the nature, its really a lawless land and its hosted in russia. its not hard to find if you look on twitter or something. even as someone who went on qa before, i have never wanted to step foot there, its not the same.

              kissu.moe is where most of the original qa migrated to, aka the people who were there before it started to become a raiding board. it even has its own version of qa there now which is really nice and they have drawing threads and talk about anime and stuff.

    Maybe they could do the world a favour and delete it - along with the backups.

      No. For the same reason that they didn’t demolish Auschwitz. We must learn from our follies, lest we repeat them.

      I doubt there’s any such thing as backups, nothing on there is permanent that’s why so many archive sites exist.

        /b/ is just logspammers and porn now.

        And the 15 min wait to post anything has noticeably slowed down any sort of discussion. Posts on /b/ can last for up to a week now because of it

    The 4chan Captcha never worked for me, so I stopped trying years ago. I used to go there to troll trolls when I was in a mood.

      The hackers who took 4chan down come from an imageboard known as soyjak.party or “the sharty”. They are unironically, in terms of politics, more far right, and in terms of culture, far worse than 4chan from what I’ve heard and seen from the website.

        Yeah - the real freaks left because moot dated like Brianna Wu or something stupid and weird like that. 8chan was the place for a bit.

        4chan is owned by an anime figma company at the moment - i think Nendroid?
