>comeback after a year or two away from chans
>8chan still the same
i thought some guy got paid 10,000 usd to upgrade 8chan?
what happened? who in charge now? did the upgrade get abandoned? pic not related.

he leaked /sp/'s IPs by leaving Laravel's debugging interface available, and the 8ch move to his software failed because it took him too long to figure out that his caching layer was murdering his performance, instead of helping it. At one point he blamed "vCPUs". There was a vote or something and 8ch stayed on infinity.
After /fatpeoplehate/ was lost to voat amidst misplaced anti-reddit reeeing (for a community kicked from reddit for not being reddit enough), Hotwheels lost his innocence and zest for life and sold everything as a package deal to Filipino drug dealers, who were promptly murdered by Duterte.
I think some hyper-intelligent pigs are running the site now. Somehow they have a kid who knows Haskell working for them.

>what happened?
Josh accepted donations to create the software with the understanding that it would be licensed under the AGPL. Money ran out before the software was complete. Jim Watkins, the owner of 8chan, offered to fund the rest of the development of the software, but on the condition that it be proprietary, with the copyrights assigned to him or his company. Josh refused because it wouldn't be fair to the donors who expected the software to be AGPL. That's the story that Josh tells, anyway.
>who in charge now?
Jim Watkins is the owner. I think his son Codemonkey runs the place.
>did the upgrade get abandoned?
Yes. Though, to his credit, over a period of months after the upgrade fiasco, Codemonkey fixed a lot of stuff and excepting a few bumps in the road, the site has run well enough since then.
I don't know what the future holds for 8chan. Apparently Jimbo lost an important court case in Japan against Hiroshima Nagasaki, the proprietor of 4chan, who had his old chan stolen from him by Jim many years ago. I haven't seen much discussion of what that might mean for this place, though.

If that happens, I'll just stop using the internet for anything but stuff that's necessarily tied to my identity anyway, like checking my work email. I already don't use a lot of services that other people seem to believe are essential, like social media, and streaming media, and online games. I'd regret not being able to access news and information, but I can always read books. I've been meaning to learn Greek and Latin and maybe Sanskrit and read a lot of the classics in the original, so I guess I'd finally have more time to do that.

logins are a great step forward when it comes to plausible deniability, they create deep webs and reduce the impact of places like hollaforums

There is literally nothing wrong with accounts as a board option, but newfags and neckbeards don't understand that not every board is meant to be 4chan lite for le ebin oldgags.
8chan is supposed to be a website where you create your own imageboard and run it however you please, not where you create another imageboard for /v/ retards and mobile twitterposters to shit up.

Not even weekend.
There's more other hidden boards you've never heard of.
If you're counting 4chan posts you should exclude the filler botspams and datamining posts like "we all have secrets" they put on /b/ and other boards.

Google captchas are the fucking worst. If your browser is completely unidentifiable (e.g. a non-resize tor browser window with the tor network disabled) it is literally impossible to solve it. It will just fail because Google wants to track the goyim.
The primary reason I left 4chan is because I upgraded the privacy on my browser and solving the recaptchas became unbearable.
