I decide to take a break for a few days and all of a sudden everything gets v&'d.

So what I understand is that anons have all fucked off to various 8ch derivatives but 8kun still has more-or-less all the boards and posts before the fall came. The userbase has been decisively split, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. We are basically at the same situation when halfchan was still new, we have returned back to being a niche site, but wizened by experience. We can quietly rebuild and build up our userbase without much outside interference. This also means that all these other sites will also rebuild and create their own board cultures. Eventually there will be more of us who are likeminded and who are fighting for the same things than before. It will take time, but we will come back twice as strong.

Sorry if I'm late to the party. It's good to be back.

Why does everything have to be a fight? People can't even go to a forum to talk about video games any more since everything is so polluted to complete saturation with politics. People who run the forums work to steer all discussions to meet some thought standard. Communities keep getting divided over and over again and we wind up in this stupid, splintered, tribe-like state that we're in now. All this warring over superficial differences isn't worth it.

Well thats why we all came here in the first place isn't it? For a free speech platform where we weren't all getting thought policed constantly? Well that dream died by 2016 thanks to jim taking over and its all been downhill from there. All we have left now are a handful of /pol/tards that only ended up here because moot shit all over their board and never cared about free speech so they haven't seen the writing on the wall and left along with everyone else.

Anyone that thinks theres any way for this site to recover is delusional, jim made it his mission to eliminate the only thing compelling people to come here and its just been living off the users hotwheels gathered here since then and they're pretty much all gone now.

Anons, it's time to face the music: 8kun is fucking dead, this site is never going to recover. We used to get a million posts every 3 months, we haven't even gotten half that in the past year.

It's not just pedoshit being banned, it's everything else. It's the deplatforming, it was the months of constant errors, it's the site staff pandering to Qboomers, it's everything together.

I don't know where to go from here. Markchan is still too slow and it's almost entirely made of up fa/gg/ots. The only active thread is the GG one. 4chan really managed to absorb all other imageboards over the years.

I can only speak for myself but I haven't gotten absorbed by 4chan, imageboards are just becoming less and less a part of my life. I don't waste away entire days shitposting anymore like I used to. We're reaching the end of an era of not just imageboards but the internet as a whole and you'll just have to find something else to fill that gap. Maybe try actually playing the video games you'd spend all day talking about on /v/ instead of actually playing them? Or heaven forbid go outside

A lot of these places have become demonized in recent years too. A lot of dicks attracted by perceived anonymity using boards as platforms to radicalize or do all kinds of no-good. The people that were around genuinely just to chat and shitpost don't want to be associated with what's been going on, so they go to less toxic waters.

For anyone unfamiliar, the two boards that most people migrated to are either 8chan.se/v/ (run by Mark) or Zchan.cc/v/ (run by the fat/v/ board owner). For finding non-/v/ boards remember that you can check the webring from webring boards, though 8chan.se isn't part of the webring yet so it would have to be checked separately.

Modified copypasta summarizing what happened with /v/ recently:

Mark stickied an open letter calling out the 8kun administration for various issues, including them not migrating loli boards as a form of soft-censorship. They both fired him and removed him as /v/ board owner. Ron said they would migrate loli boards in 2 weeks after switching servers, but first he would talk to 2 lawyers to make sure it was completely safe legally. Mark makes a /v/ on the webring board fatchan.org as a potential migration target, but after sperging super-hard and deleting a bunch of posts from even people defending him he deletes the whole board. The fat/v/ board is claimed by some anonymous Italian guy. Acid Man begins working on his own site, meant to be a proper sucessor to 8chan. A week later after talking to 1 lawyer 8kun administration apparently decides it's legally risky based on an obscenity law that has never been applied to any website despite many other sites hosting loli or selling it commercially without problems. 8kun bans loli site-wide, not just loli boards, posting it now gets you a permaban from the whole site. People begin to migrate en-masse to the /v/ on fatchan.org. Every /v/ volunteer but 1 resigns in protest. Several other boards migrate to sites on the webring or have board-owners removed after they post loli in protest or sticky calls for migration. Fatchan is great and is very popular with users, with a /v/ board owner who seems decent and based on JSChan which functions well unlike 8kun. /v/ sucessfully pulls off a full migration, 8kun drops to single-digit PPH that are all in the meta thread while fat/v/ picks up everyone. Someone who has been emailing every service provider for every imageboard trying to get them shut down gets Voxility, which was providing Fatchan's host with anycast service, to blackhole the site, apparently based on them hosting a dead /pol/ with a couple dozen posts total. Rather than switching to not using anycast and using a single server in the U.S. instead, and concerned about his host potentially getting blacklisted by Voxility even if he isn't using anycast himself anymore, the Fatchan owner shuts down the site. Anons scatter, largely unwilling to return to 8kun and unsure of where to go. Acid Man has launched 8chan.se at this point (Mark provided half the funding and runs /v/ but is not part of the administration) but coincidentally his DDOS-protection VanwaTech is doing infrastructure upgrades so his site was having severe technical issues at the time. For a while people were divided between Julay, 8chan/v/, 8chan/vg/ (the Mark-free alternative with a new board owner), and people reluctantly posting on 8kun. Continued:

Shortly before Fatchan went down, the Julay site owner declares he wants to get rid of most of the boards except a handful in 3 months and they should make their own bunkers. Some time later julay/v/ has some drama about the board owner locking threads about the Last of Us leaks for a variety of bizarre reasons including believing that they're too much like GG threads. Meanwhile the 8chan/vg/ board owner accidentally deletes the whole board by fat-fingering the "Delete Board" button and checkbox when looking at the administration panel on his phone. It gets recreated but with the existing threads gone, and is now completely dead. The julay/v/ board owner decides to take a break for a week under the pressure of people complaining about his moderation, and makes the board owner of julay/v/ some guy who is the board owner of some Touhou boards and is known for only deleting illegal content. One of the Julay global volunteers is so retarded that he thinks loli is banned outside julay/delicious/, and that /delicious/ is not accessible except via Tor, because that was the case weeks ago when a registrar complained and they had to switch registrars, even though they had already fixed it and /delicious/ has been public for weeks. He starts global banning people for loli on /v/, which cause a revolt. Eventually the site owner comes back and tells him he's being retarded. Meanwhile someone takes advantage of the chaos to spam CP and "child model" stuff. The global volunteer who made the fuckup regarding loli says global volunteers shouldn't help the board owner clean up the "child images" in IRC. The new board owner interprets that as him not wanting to help clean up even CP. The new board owner threatens to delete the board. Julay's registrar takes down their main domain, possibly because of the CP spam and because they're running an old version of LynxCHan that doesn't purge images immediately when you delete the post, so people can post CP, delete their own posts or let them be deleted, and then report direct links to the images even if the post is gone. Julay is accessible from the Tor domain or alternative domain spqrchan.xyz. /k/, one of the boards that wasn't going to be removed, migrates to anon.cafe. The new /v/ board owner sees the site owner has made the global volunteer who fucked up a site administrator for some reason, and deletes julay/v/. Julay is taken down while /v/ is restored from backup, and the site owner gives the board to a friend of the guy who deleted it. After a couple days the new board owner gives it to the guy who deleted it and he deletes it again, it is currently not restored. Meanwhile, the /animu/ bunker Prolikewoah has created /geimu/, but it bans GG and is intended to have a distinct identity rather than being a general /v/. Someone launches Zchan.cc, a new JSChan-based site that allows pretty much anything legal but requires permission for board creation. Someone asks him if he would be willing to host fat/v/, warning him he might have to switch companies if any of them cave to angry emails, and he agrees. The fat/v/ board owner is contacted and asked if he would be willing to come back as board owner, and he agrees as well. Julay/v/ is brought back with a new board owner but is dead on arrival. Also I just checked and it looks like Julay deleted all their porn boards ahead of schedule. /v/ users are largely on 8chan.se or Zchan, /co/ is on 8chan.se, most other boards are on the webring.

Julays demise is especially depressing because they were our best bet at having an imageboard that doesn't just serve a singular purpose of talking about one subject but actually functions as a proper imageboard and they had to go and fuck it all up out of fear of having the same responsibility as someone like moot or hotwheels. They took in all these different boards looking for a place to settle then pulled out the rug from under them saying PSYCHE GET THE FUCK OUT leaving them scattered to the wind instead of all in one place like they were.

>accidentally

Seems to me rather unlikely. I bet it was just an op by Mark to lure people to his board:

<You don't have to use Mark's board if you don't want to, just use /vg/!

was a pretty common point by shills.

>The fat/v/ board owner is contacted and asked if he would be willing to come back as board owner

Why bother contacting him when he was effectively some rando who ran a board for like 4 days? And the explanation never goes beyond "he was contacted" It smells rotten.

In the case of Julay, I mostly like the site, but the owner Robi asked for donations, then bought expensive cigars and mailed them to his friends, then announced he will be deleting a huge chunk of Julay's boards. Makes me wonder how much of the donations actually went to keeping the site running versus how much was just pocketed by him and spent on frivolities.

Overall, I'm not a fan of the webring because each board has a suspicious stench to it.

>And the explanation never goes beyond "he was contacted

Shortly after Zchan launched it had an announcement at the top of /b/ saying to ask if you wanted any other boards. Someone made a thread asking if he was willing to host a fat/v/ successor and created z/v/:

http://archive.is/EU25I

The board creator then emailed the fat/v/ board owner asking if he wanted the board, using the email he had posted publicly for stuff like recruiting volunteers. People just liked the fat/v/ board owner because he seemed reasonable, and as far as I know he seems to have continued being reasonable as the Zchan board owner.

>Why bother contacting him when he was effectively some rando who ran a board for like 4 days?

He also ran it for a couple weeks before the 8kun loli ban, there were a lot less users but that was when the rules and stuff like that were discussed. Fat/v/ was popular, so z/v/ with the same board owner and software attracted some of the same popularity. In any case he has now been running z/v/ for a while.
