Will RapeApe get off his fat fucking ass and finally fix PDFs so I can share tabletop modules and academic lit again?
Never. It's 2026 and Claude could have PDFs working on 4chan again in under a half hour, but even that is too much effort.

It's the website equivalent of a 500lbs diabetic cutting off extremities when they start to cause problems.
 
4Chan is the deadest gayest of sites honestly. How does it still stay active? Pure momentum from being one of if not the longest running “edgy” forums?
Gooners and brownoids keeping the beast on life support.

What I wouldn't give to have a hand on the whole thing, it could be great if they are (the creatures at the helm of the ship) not so mentally raped.

Even if it's a pile of shit, it's a famous pile of shit that could be put to better use.

Other imageboards never took off like 4chan. We don't have an equivalent anywhere else with that much passive influence.

It's a good place to dead drop links to files or information. Off the top of my head the last big Valve leak (or the URL to it) was first posted on 4chan. The last Fortnite battle pass was also leaked on 4chan before anywhere. Of course this one good use it has left may disappear if people keep abusing the site and forcing RapeApe to implement even more time-wasting post blocks.

Yes.

That is why despite being botted to hell and back people will still keep using it and complaining. Not all too different from abuse victims who keep going back to their abuser. They can't imagine life without this singular anonymous imageboard and must keep using it. Luckily /ck/ has been terrible since 2017ish so I go back once a year to remind myself why I left.
 
It was already dead before it reached 10, it's been gay and dead for longer than it's ever been "good".
I feel absolutely nothing every year when the hats come out. Kiwifarms going orange is more joyous.
Yeah, the orange here is definitely much better. Lasts longer, too.
The April 2025 hack was the final nail in the coffin. Saw someone try to make a thread on /x/ about premonitions/inner voices, that kind of thing, the replies were:
-schizophrenics ranting about christianity, nothing to do with the topic
-a few broken english zoomer mutt replies that didn't understand what the topic meant
-normalfag or 2 ranting about their relationship, i think one was actually saying how their inner voice warned them about their partner so I guess that one actually counts
/x/ has been absolute dogshit for years, not sure if it was co-opted by the feds like /k/ was or just the result of the site being raided by zoomers/twiggers/browns.
The last time I went to 4chan I made a thread complaining that a literal tranny/autogenophilia/gender-bending porn thread was at the top of /v/'s catalog and that I'm leaving.

The responses were, of course, saying that 4chan was always a tranny porn website and that I'm a jewish MAGA cuck for having issue with that. One particular anon said "see you in a week faggot"

Jokes on him, its been months since then and I still didn't come back to that shithole, and I don't intend to.

To any anons reading - soyjak.party won, enjoy your tranny porn website you pathetic gooners LMAO

The only reason to ever come back to cuck /v/ is if there is a new leak or controversy, since 8chan/altchans are too slow for that these days and the gaming subforum here is utter dogshit. You can tell the quality of the board momentarily jumps up too because everyone comes back, lmfao!
It was arguably evolved out of the equally unhinged revisionism /a/ did to justify moeblobs and "giant folder of anime girl face pngs" avatarposting in the late 00s/early 10s where one offhand usenet post and curated sets of pics from studio tour docs meant anime has always done low effort money whale sponging shows and that's why they get to drown out everyone else talking.
To be fair, /a/ was always dogshit and so were the users there, so I am glad they got raped by the newfags they hated. Good riddance, I wish nothing but endless Naruto threads and Dragonball Z obsessed ESL browns shitting up their threads for them.

What's more pathetic imo is the cope from some users who think the place will """eventually""" get better. Some-fucking-how.
Arguing with these types is a fools errand. They unironically believe that even with all the trade-offs just for slower traffic, 4chan's "been through worse". It's honestly baffeling to me how/why some people think like this ever after everything that's happened and what's been revealed about how the place is ran, and I don't commend anyone for having high tolerance for bullshit or not taking anything seriously there, because that's what lead to the the dire state the site's been in for the longest time and will eventually be its Achilles' heel. They all deserve each other over there.
 
Breaking news. A new board has been added. Nuts to those who claim 4chan is dead.

Oh wait.. /vip/ was added ten cycles around the sun ago. But still hasn't been unpinned.
It's right there under the post box. Advertisement for the pay-exclusive board.
Well I'm sure the admin respects the users all the same.

Surprisingly it has not been flooded with bbc/tranny porn yet.
 
Do you think this is worthy of deletion on a video game board?

I think my last thread of tolerance snapped when I was banned from /ck/ on a fried chicken thread for just saying you can tell the best fried chicken in town because there's a line of niggers out to the door and down the sidewalk and for some reason it's always run by pakis.

I mean was I wrong?

Making threads on 4chan is the fastest way to get banned because moderation there seems to operate on how the catalog looks. Every thread could be 500 replies of NSFW hentai dumps, but if the catalog looks on-topic it's okay.

Well... If you look at copycats that tried to strike gold just like 4chan did, end up far worse than them when it comes to running their shithole in the long-run.
Just look at the sharty, it's user-base is now dwindling on lower and lower active users. or even look at 8chan that had some success but ultimately ended up just like 4chan when it comes to moderation.
Even the main admin of 4chan-xt quit because he didn't want to keep trying to fuck around with the bullshit changes gookmoot kept adding to it's living-dead horse
