Who is moot?

On the reddit thread, it was revealed during the session that his father's convinced that 4channers are all right-wingers (What the fuck?). His grandmother called him to say she went on the site (Obviously she went to /b/, my god...). As for the actual website, 4chan operates on a 10K mbit line and the biggest DDoS attack the website endured was 4-5 Gbits.

The one thing he was disappointed in the community (refering to /b/) was the shift from harmless trolling to in-real-life harassment of people. He said he did not created the site wanting this to happen and issued a statement to that effect a while back which actually caused a large number of the worst users to leave the site. (Remember /b/-day ?)

This hurts, man. This hurts.

A reddit user said that he will upload the audio sometime this week. (Which I hope it happens) The reddit thread is located here:

Note that a good portion of the comments are well known catchphrases from /b/. A reason why that if moot wants to do a Q and A session with the website that he requests that the thread to be moderated.

while he's there he should take a course in probability and statistics so he can get off his doughy ass and something about all the spam

Shit man I see those buildings all the time.

I actually saw moot last semester in another NYU building.

On the same day he was featured on NYU Local.

In the article, many well known advertisers are reluctant to associate their products (despite the fact that 4chan has many other imageboards) with the bawdy reputation that 4chan has developed over the years because of /b/ - Random.

And no, he does not want to manage the site forever and he knows that this website may not last forever. However he said in a New York Times blog that he may be willing to sell the website if the new owners are committed to its goals. (But if the website dies, it will leave another legacy not mentioned on the NYU Local article: Introducing the Western World a new form of discourse.)

He's aware of the occasional racism, the CP, and the website invasions. Even though racism is permitted on /b/, CP is not allowed on 4chan, and website invasions are definitely not allowed (although it's prohibited to call in invasion, they happen away.).

The article also makes a reference that law enforcement actually monitors 4chan for any law breaking activity. Although the information is often difficult to collect because the userbase is mostly anonymous, and it does not help that 4chan does not have a archive, so unless you archive the threads and pictures yourself, they're gone forever.

And moot does a little consulting work on the side.

Finally, a double feature in a New York University class AND in a NYU Local article.

WHAT'S NEXT!?

From now on in this thread, I will be using this tripcode.

He said at one time he does not go to NYU for college. He was there for a lecture in the class last Wednesday.

Also: Remember, no CAPTCHA.

No one? Fine, suit yourself.

I'm finding this interesting.........

I go to NYU and I am so sad I didn't know about this when it happened.

>>8098878
Why is it interesting...

>>8098774
He said he was going to get a haircut, but from the blur it doesn't even look like him. But since he's wearing a grey jacket, I'm willing to bet that it is him.

>>8098920
Cause it's 12 am at night, and I have nothing better to do than read about Moot's life


that's why

>>8098906
Well here's the thing, moot does this deliberately because the instant he announces it, 4channers will swarm the place looking for him. Especially the /b/tards...

I consider him equivalent to the illusive man.

I have seen a dozen threads on this subject

who cares, it's just moot, he's just a dude
