Good. I went there once out of curiosity after the THQ AMA. I was in there for less than 5 minutes before I noped out of there. Fuck that place, it is the definition of a cesspool.

About a few hundred souls too late, but finally. Burn it to the ground. Fuck nazis, fuck pedophiles, fuck mass shooters and fuck the alt right for fostering and normalizing this shit.

I'm sure Evilore would be happy to host them.

They have the same userbase

Edit: to the burner account above me; your precious nazigaf and a couple of altright twitter assholes don't really equal 'across social media', now please return to your shithole and better luck next witch hunt

we found the alt!

But it will be interesting to see where this goes for the *chan sites. It seems obvious they should have closed or overhauled a long time ago, but maybe better late than never?

I'm kind of surprised they're apparently US based, thought for sure that shithole would've at least been hosted in some country that isn't accommodating to US law enforcement.

Is 8chan just 4chan with double the crazy people?
I legit don't even know how the math works. There are so many chan websites with terrible illegal stuff posted on it I don't know how these sites stay open/aren't blacklisted from all search engines( looking at you Microsoft).

so do you think it's too late to go do an AMA for some games I'm publishing?

Can IP Addresses be used in a court of law to directly identify individuals? I vaguely remember early court cases where this was not the case.
While IANAL (I've just followed the whole Prenda Law copyright tolling story with baited breath for years,) I don't believe IP addresses alone would be enough to identify an individual to a legal standard for a conviction from a technical perspective, but anything is possible once it gets to a non-technical judge or jury and a lawyer is able to put enough jargon in front of them that they don't really understand. At the very least, an IP address would probably be enough to establish probably cause for a warrant.

Fucking finally! And looking at the twitter thread the owners are already pissing in their pants and going "everything posted in this board is the responsability of it's users", hopefully they get fucked the most for hosting this shit and doing nothing about it.

Haha, what a day :)

I'm legit surprised though that it's this easy to identify anon boards. A lot of people will probably be very nervous all of a sudden.

Took them long enough. That website shouldn't exist. Let's hope this action will bear fruit.

I was reading this on the Reno subreddit last night. Apparently, the FBI is also down the street from that place, lol. It may just be a shell company though.

Praise be !

But the survivors will probably gather in a new shit place. 16chan or some shit like that.

Good news, a lot of very dangerous and unstable individuals posting there which I don't doubt were inspired by the NZ shooter. Hopefully this can prevent the next lunatic from harming others.

"Well you see, the 4chan knitting board is actually very chill" is starting to sound like "Some Nazi stormtroopers were actually good people"
Yeah I remember posting on 4Chan. One day some horrifying shit got posted and I just sat in shock. A lot of users nonchalantly commented "oh /b/ got loose again" or something like that as if it wasn't an abnormal occurrence. But for me that was the realization that nothing on the site could justify getting that desensitized.
