Hello,

I'm closing 9chan until the new owner can take it over and off my hardware. I left it in the hands of the few people while I focused on myself and other things, with the intention of passing it along seamlessly. Today logged in to see it not in a state I can continue to host. The domain will be transfered when they are able to receive it.

This will be my final message as proprietor of 9chan. During the month of June, we received no DMCA complaints, but I was contacted by an FBI anti-terrorism agent in regards to a credible threat against Jews posted on /bestpol/. He asked for voluntary surrender of information from a poster on the site. Due to our data retention policies, there was no information attached to the post.

9chan was a love letter of mine to the community of 8chan, which I saw as shattered and abandoned. I believed that by dedicating the resources I had accrued in keeping the Kiwi Farms safely hosted, I could reunite a broken community and we would see the same fountain of creativity we saw during the first months of 8chan's popularity. Instead, the site attracted nothing but mentally ill namefags, politically charged extremists, and outspoken pedophiles. I can't tell if this is just the core demographic of imageboards now, or if this (the later demographic especially) was some sort of pointed attack on myself specifically.

Regardless of why, I cannot host this. The tools I need to deal with that level of aggressive, destructive behavior are inaccessible to someone with no budget on a website with no accounts.

Anything I say regarding imageboards and their fate will be construed as the words of a sore loser, so I will keep them to myself. What I have learned outside of that is to be thankful for what I already have. In the future, I will focus more on those things.

Take it easy,
Josh

Rip 9chan it was a fed honeypot full of cursed images, thousands of inactive boards and apparently the biggest no no of all, threats against jews. Oy vey.
I always thought this was a bad idea.

10chan when?

 

[kūhaku]

Imageboards are so (($CURRENTYEAR)-1), it was doomed to fail.

 

[Vecr]

10chan when?

It was called 16chan/16ch until it was renamed to 9chan, though.

Being on 9chan made me miss chan culture in general, I had a lot of fun. Thanks Null.

 

[Bemuse]

It's what got me into image boards (didn't care before), so it will be missed. Shame there were schizos making tulpa blogs, but Analockman's eternal wisdom was very helpful for everybody. Also fuck the pedo posters.

 

[GhostNotes]

Gone but not forgotten. Shame it didn't have the traction to build like 8chan did.

 

[NIGGER ASS PEE POOPY RAPE]

@Null I owned/moderated some of the most popular boards every day since the birth of 9chan on April 24th. 16 hours of work a day for 75 days at minimum wage ($7.25/hour) comes out to $9,000 that you owe me for my janitorial duties. you can pay me in crypto or gift cards or whatever you prefer.

I want to meet the FBI agent whose job involved reading the shitposts on bestpol and looking for oy vey memes.

It was literally just a threat. Like 3 paragraphs of "I have nothing to live for, Jews killed my country, I am going to kill as many of them as possible".

[Wendy Carter]

Oh no, where else will I find the treasure trove of knowledge that was the tripfag user "Agent Chad Thundercock (Cunny Island Native)" (e-mail at "children can consent @any age) now?

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Fair enough to Jersh because who the fuck wants to deal with that, but I'm unironically upset to lose it.

did he say "in minecraft"?

 

[Jaded Optimist]

Sorry Null, I know you were passionate about the site. I tried to get into it, but I was never really into imageboards.

 

[Forgetful Kiwi]

Goodbye hamchan, you will be missed and never forget to post this rat.

Spoiler: Random screengrabs

 

[Mimic]

Having enjoyed image boards and the culture around them I'll miss 9chan. Just goes to show it only takes a few assholes to ruin things for us all.

Thanks for the throwback, Null, and I'm sorry shit went down like it did.

F for Respect

Could you please post it

 

[NewFriend]

A shame, really.
I quite enjoyed it in spite of users actively trying to ruin my fun but oh well, what can you do.

Personally, my favorite threads were the Null impersonation threads and the Oregon Trail thread.
Oh well. All good things must come to an end!

HOW WILL ANON COPE?
WILL THE DESIGNATED GLOWIE BE ABLE TO HOLD DOWN HIS JOB?
WHERE WILL CUNNYPOSTERS SPAM THEIR PROPAGANDA?
