The fuck is this shit?

"I'm working on a new project to reimagine what an image board should be today using the current technologies available... our code is a decade old, the foundation is really rickety and the layout is old. So imagine if you were to start 4chan today, what would it look like, how would it work with a modern browser. It's kind of like a reboot, but it will be something separate to 4chan."

He's gone far, good man. Anyways, I just want more mods.

In other words, 4chan is about to get a whole lot more terrible.

If it means that all the summerfags go somewhere else I am totally okay with it.

OH CHRIST WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN

What is he going to copy from Japan this time?

Behold the incoming shitstorm.

TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN!

>>34826768
what on earth makes you think that will make them go?

I'm ready!

MOOT SELLS OUT

>>34826753
It's separate thing.

I guarantee you its going to be some web 2.0 bullshit.

inb4 permanent Facebook integration.

Don't know id he can pull something like that off because he doesn't act like a business man who makes smart choices. The only way for him to succeed is to actually make the site and have people visit it.

>>34826713
>image board with current technologies

Relax guys, he won't do anything that alienates the 4chan userbase.

>>34826870
Knowing moot it'll be Web 1.75 beta.

I see that moot has been watching Durarara.

It will do one thing and one thing only:

Stop the Anon Talk spam. That is all.

wtf moot

Why would venture capitalists give over half a million dollars to a guy who can't even begin to figure out how to make money on his first website?

Don't we already have that?

i'm happy for moot, i really am

don't really give a shit about whatever this new venture is though

Gaiz, the "start-up funding" was actually given by the government. He's going to make a new 4chan that tracks our IP addresses and gives them to the FBI whenever we click on CP.

MOOT SOLD OUT

id take the money and move to mexico with kubo tite

4chan for normalfags

Mainstream(even more mainstream dare i say it)

Are you implying 4chan hasn't been full of normalfags for the past 2 years?

>>34827084

>So imagine if you were to start 4chan today, what would it look like, how would it work with a modern browser.

WEB 2.0 COMPLIANT! ROUNDED CORNERS SO NEWFAGS WON'T CUT THEMSELVES! CONSIDERABLY LONGER LOAD TIMES FOR HIGH SPEED AND DIAL-UP USERS ALIKE!

If he makes a separate website from 4chan then I could care less.

Whatever he makes, it will surely be fully in Helvetica. And there will be much rejoicing, and reviling.

I just don't want to have to copy and paste all the links people post. Is there an add-on for that?

>>34827153
As long as it's Anonymous I'm okay with this

It would be like a buffet of the finest trollfood

>>34827302
linkification

use it, love it

4chan seems to have been a labor of love (god only knows why) on Moot's part for the last six years. Good on him if managing this cesspool actual yields some money and opportunities.

sage for not anime/manga related.

>>34827084
That'd be fucking awesome. Except the bit where the FBI would have to post CP on 4chan.

i won't say who I am but I was hoping I can link me tripcode with my facebook/myspace so that it automatically sends whatever I post on 4chan to both my myspace and facebook so i don't have to do it manually everytime.

My girlfriend will probably like this feature as well.

>>34827436
>>34827436
What.

remember the days when 4chan had to close because of the lack of money
they had to troll people to donate by placing a bar (for donations received) at the front page
shit was so 5 years ago

You guys do know this might result in there being less data collisions in the database access routines used to store the board posts?

I mean, hell, us programmers have done a lot with threading and relational database management in the ten years that it's been since they made the custom image board software running 4chan... Maybe they found a better optimization, or a faster algorithm for table lookup?

It might just make everything a lot better.

Is 4chan still a source of great debt to moot, or did he break even, now?

>>34827573

>>34827620

>>34827573
Y'all do know this be resultan in here being more kissing in the baseball base dancing used to refridgerate the wood pellets?

I mean, heck, us chilluns be doin shitlot of sewing and knitting and have no relationships for all our ten years of life since they be takin pitchers of us. Soft plush animals are running 4chan. Maybe they found a better master, or a faster slave for lubing assholes?

It just make everthang a lot more good.

>>34827693
the 4chan add-on has one that works fine.

http://www.4chan.org/tools/

So moot gets $625,000 in funding. What have you done, /a/?

I can't wait to see 4chan with CSS!

>>34827802
today i dug out some loose hairs that were trapped in my belly button

>>34826855
They might be attracted to the shiny new site with all the cool features.

As long as moot keeps 4chan up I'm fine with it. Hopefully all the shitposters will move onto the new site and leave us to our own devices. It would also be kind of sad seeing this place I've visited for so many years to shut down.

>unknown source

Is it his aunt this time instead of his mom?

So he finally sold out?

>>34827882

>>34827802
We helped moot get over half a million dollars! If it weren't for posters like us, he wouldn't have gotten that grant! Yeah! Go us!

oh christ. this will go nowhere.

What will /a/ do when 4chan disappears?

>>34827941

Stop existing.

Ugh..

You dumb fucks, read the goddamn article: "but it will be something separate to 4chan.". Think of it as 4chan 2.0 for normalfags. Hopefully he gets advertisers and investors and shit. Normal fags have a place to stay, old 4chan gets better with the lack of normal/newfags and moot gets money. EVERYBODY WINS.

>>34828246
7chan is a piece of shit.

>>34828278
>implying being a hipster is the best

>4chan a place for anime enthusiasts to hang out.
nice, moot

>but it will be something separate to 4chan.
Excellent! Now all the normalfags will have somewhere else to go rather than here.

I wonder what the elevens on 2ch think of this

>>34828324
>old 4chan gets better with the lack of normal/newfags and moot gets money.

4chan will only get more popular with this.

I'd buy stocks.

>>34828324
to be frank that might actually be good,
4chan is only the way it is because its popular
the only way I see it getting better if something else popped up that drew away the bulk of its users.
I'm hoping this might be it.

Sweet.

What's his exit strategy? Will it turn any profit whatsoever? The hilarious Facebook "crack dealer" business model is done for.

It's serious-honest-to-Zeus an effect of the "investors-giving-rich-white-kids-something-to-do" brain disease that's afflicted finance.

And, like, this guy is supposed to have fiduciary responsibility? There are tiny startups run by VCs all over that have endless problems keeping the primadonna CEO's behavior in check.

And this guy runs a fucking pedophilia forum. I mean, what? He's supposed to lead a team of adult engineers (many with wives and kids) making $50-100k or whatever?

Nerrrrrds.

>>34829012

I doubt anyone would sink half a million dollars into an entirely original project by moot seeing as how 4chan is the only thing that moot has EVER done and it isn't even an original idea. Also, READ MOOT'S OWN QUOTE YOU STUPID FUCKING RETARD.

>>34828749
>4chan is more or less abandoned because moot spends all his attention towards this new project.
That's what we need more of, self moderation without a ruling hand.

>>34829067

Beacuse we're not going to fuck on over to utter shitholes like /b/ or /r9k/ just to discuss something that we're all interested in?

He sold out, time to leave and take the knowledge base with us to greener pastures. He doesn't care about us anyway it seems.

Nice going moot, way to estrange what made you big, I'm very disappointed in you.

>>34829085
moot wouldn't relinquish moderation to anyone, he'd just forget this site and we'd have no staff at all.

>>34829430

>If it came to that people would create a new chan.
you mean like the hundreds of diffrent chans that were created within the past few years?

>>34829449
Sorry but if moot were to leave 4chan he'd probably be one of the first people you'd think that would get control over it.

>>34829402
It's called midnight snacks. A tradition he started on /b/, and then moved to /r9k/ in the later years.

>>34829480
Yes, but this time one or two of them would actually get a significant amount of traffic due to the death of 4chan.

>>34828800

So in other words, he'll make reaction images... Moot?

>>34829527
>implying 420chan doesn't already get a significant amount of traffic.

>>34829527
7chan and idlechan would be hit and overwhelmed with traffic,
then everyone would just dissipate.

>>34829587
420chan and 7chan are big, but not big enough.
If 4chan died or went down you can bet your ass they or another chan would get multiple times more traffic then they do now.

Get a grant to update 4chan's shitty code, make a marketable-looking 2.0, and sell the site a few years later for a few mil.

This turn events pleases me greatly, although /a/ is hardly the place to discuss it.

/r9k/ has a similar discussion about this as well and more info.

>>>/r9k/8927437

Guys, guys. Calm yourselves. This is what will clearly happen:

1) moot gets grant, makes 4chan 2.0 site.
2) Sells that site for jewgolds.
3) Returns back to 4chan with bags of money, and keeps 4chan running for decades.

It could happen...r-right?

>>34829695
why you got to be so me-
wait a minute what info?!
I just skimmed through this thread twice and I didn't see a link.

>>34829492
You honestly think moot would just hand over 4chan to that greasy pedo? He'd do better giving it to kimmo than that faggot.

He's making headway in the world, which is more than can be said for you faggots who sit at home fapping to K-ON. It's his site, he can do with it whatever the fuck he wants so long as he doesn't land in a legal infraction. Fuck you all and your bellyaching

BTW, OP: /b/ is THAT way-- >

It's just a bit too convenient that his real name is CP.

fuck your Google.

Good to see you around, sire. Liked your last dumping endeavors.

looks like he got 6 investors to put up 100k

What's wrong with 4chan now?
What could he possibly do to make it any different?

>>34832242

What is this i don't even...

nah really, what the dick is this?

>>34833833
You mean that loli thread in /b/?
That was a fun thread.

Like said previously - Moar Mods.
Pic hugely related.

ITT: We claim what moot is and what his name is without posting proof

People never been to plus4chan, what?

Screw you guys, I'm going on /coq/
Only because /y/ sucks.

>>34833944

But to make a new site?

Is that what he's doing?

It's 4chan 2.0. If moot plays his cards right he will ad one horrible feature and take the cool 625k and go flee to mootixco.

This is the first I've heard about it from any boards.
That said while a mod would probably want money, if he just got some fellows to b& the CP, spammers and close irrelevant threads, 4chan would be a lot better.
I'd do that for free, and I'm sure I'm not the only fellow.

>>34834066
That feature better not just for /b/
