This is a tread about 4chan.

**anon** · 2008/07/23(Wed) 11:19:23

I like reading 4chan to improve my English and for fun.
But 4chan has been down these days.
Where do 4channers go when it is down?
When will 4chan get recovered?

**anon** · 2008/07/23(Wed) 11:30:34

Oh, sorry...
>>1
not "tread", but "thread".
I'm stupid... ;_;

**maji** · 2008/07/23(Wed) 12:02:00

lol, I tried making a 4chan thread earlier, but couldn't for some reason. My IP address had made a thread too soon?

Anyway, 4channers usually flock to other English-speaking chans, like 7chan, but 7chan is going through changes.

Some even go to foreign chans like Russian or Japanese ones.

As for when 4chan will be back, I am not sure. I'd like to know myself.

4chan is down because of DDoS attack by people who take the internet too seriously.

Older 4chan users go to iichan. Newer ones go to 7chan or 420chan.

Chances are they've already stopped the attack on 4chan, but moot is extremely lazy.
Usually when this happens he calls up the data center and tells them to pull the plug.
Then goes out and does other things, and eventually gets around to calling them up to put them back online.

4-ch.net is also an excellent site. it is a text BBS like 2ch.

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 02:17:10

4chan is still down!
Come on! Mr. Moot!

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 04:32:46

I love 4chan.
It's so heavy with despair.

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 05:24:02

>>7
I am in despair.

*Tssh* *Tssh* *Tssh*
ZETSUBOUSHITA!

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 08:59:24

I came here. Maybe I can improve my japanese.

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 09:37:54

I love North Korea.

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 10:48:59

>>5

I head to 4ch more often when 4chan is down.

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 10:57:03

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 11:05:45

7chan is not bad, but it seems slower than 4chan.
I miss 4chan...

>>10
Me 2. North Korea Rocks!!

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 11:16:38

>4chan is down because of DDoS attack by people who take the internet too seriously.

Why do they hate 4chan?
I think 4chan is just a crappy website like 2chan.

Ah, that reminds me, I heard that 2chan got down by the DDOS attack from Korea or China. lol.
It seems there are quite a lot of people who have too much free time.

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 11:48:26

>>10
Yeah, North Korea's the only country with any balls left. But lately it seems they're willing to co-operate with everyone.

>>13
7chan's going through a redesign right now so it's noticeably suckier this time around.

>>14
A lot of people aren't happy with the way moot runs the place. They feel neglected and are angry at the cancer that's plagued the boards.
Sometimes they try to take things into their own hands, like when 4chan's domain name was hijacked in December.
Many have been suggesting that 4chan needed some downtime in order for the chubou to find something else to do. I guess the DDoSers might be acting on that.

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 12:19:16

They're just kids with nothing else to do. They felt that it would be "funny" to DDoS a lot of English imageboards and try to pin the blame on each other.

http://pastebin.ca/1079101

Giving them too much attention will only increase this sort of crap.

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 12:26:36

I feel it my duty to inform you that I've lost the game.

I'm very sorry about this.

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 12:27:25

Also, wtf, brain. "the blame" != "the game" for christ's sake.

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 12:36:51

>>16
Yea.

They also think it's pissing moot off, which it really isn't.
Moot isn't kidding when he says he doesn't take the internet seriously.
4chan doesn't make him money, so he just shuts it off when this happens.

**maji** · 2008/07/24(Thu) 12:56:30

Also, I like it how they missed 4-ch.net and iichan.

It just shows that know nothing about English imageboard and are just doing this for "EPIC LULZ XD."

**maji** · 2008/07/25(Fri) 11:55:28

It's up! It's up!

**maji** · 2008/07/25(Fri) 14:00:02

4chan is back!!

**maji** · 2008/07/25(Fri) 14:05:49

ktkr

IT'S HERE-----------( :) )---------!!!!!

**maji** · 2008/07/25(Fri) 14:35:52

>>23
I lol'd.

**maji** · 2008/07/25(Fri) 17:39:50

Is it going down again? I'm getting nervous...

**maji** · 2008/07/25(Fri) 18:27:11

It left as quickly as it came.

**maji** · 2008/07/26(Sat) 12:46:45

And nothing of value was lost.

**maji** · 2008/07/28(Mon) 07:05:31

can someone tell me what the heck this 4ch is?
never heard of it.

**maji** · 2008/07/29(Tue) 08:36:32

how do you post on 2ch?

You cannot post on 4chan from Japan. Instead, you have to use a proxy. To get a proxy, use Google, and search "web proxy." Many proxies are banned for being proxies, or for posting child pornography, but a substantial number of them are not.

**maji** · 2008/08/05(Tue) 15:18:58

>>31
What? I thought the Japanese connection ban was lifted years ago.
It's a shame that Futaba doesn't follow suit.

**maji** · 2008/08/05(Tue) 16:23:24

>>31
I'm Japanese living in Japan and I can post on 4chan without a proxy.
I go to /a/, /v/, /jp/,/cosplay board/, and /cute male/(I'm shotacon lol).
How about you guys?
What board do you go often?

**maji** · 2008/08/06(Wed) 15:26:20

>>33
I do not go to 4chan. It is a waste of time. One should stay FAR AWAY from 4chan. The last time I checked, it was full of drug addicts and high-school dropouts. The quality of 4chan has been steadily declining over the years.

I have tried to make my own anonymous message-board website, 28chan, although there are few people who visit it in the current moment. Still, anything is far more worthwhile than 4chan.

**maji** · 2008/08/06(Wed) 15:30:47

>>34
And the fact that 4chan is essentially "competition" is irrelevant, right?
What a transparent motive.

**maji** · 2008/08/06(Wed) 15:42:51

>>35
Yes, it is irrelevant. I do not care about 4chan. I have advertised myself on 4chan for a little while before realizing that it was a mistake.

**maji** · 2008/08/06(Wed) 15:44:01

>>35
Additionally, I do not want the same audience 4chan has. 4chan is all retarded people. I intend to make 28chan full of non-retarded normal people. The set of retarded and non-retarded people are disjoint, and therefore there is no competition.

**maji** · 2008/08/06(Wed) 16:00:10

The fact that you're advertising here at all is sort of...

Well, it shouldn't be a proud moment for you.

**maji** · 2008/08/06(Wed) 16:02:02

I am not trying to advertise 28chan. I was just informing that exists. I am simply telling people not to go to 4chan. 28chan was just a side-note.

**maji** · 2008/08/06(Wed) 16:55:51

>I am not trying to advertise 28chan. I was just informing that exists.
I sense obvious contradiction.
