RIP KAT

Everything is going to be fine.

Oh, fuck, is it already dead?

Could've sworn they did the same thing to the Pirate Bay where the owner got arrested and Feds seized the site

Oh well, they're foolish if they think its going to stop piracy

OY VEY ONE BILLION DOLLARS

Charging for shitposting? That sounds like a good idea, user. "Get your shitposting license for only $5!", how about it?

...

...

OY VEY THAT'S A BUNCHA YACHTS I COULDA BOUGHT!

TOOK IT OUTTA MY HANDS THE BASTIDS!

Let's say they did manage to stop piracy, for the sake of argument, what would you do?

You're not even trying

Reminds me of when all those blockbuster movies got leaked on trackers and Kikewood got asshurt their day $100B cashcows would take a small dent in profits

Same as always, not buy shit games.

All this is telling me is to support companies even less now.

Do they stop piracy of old console games too(emulators)?
If no, then I still have a shitton of good vidya available.
If yes, then I'd become way more productive and/or kill myself.

Watch the crash.

The fucking retard was practically asking for it.

Learn more foreign languages, learn to play an instrument, learn to draw, dedicate myself to a career or cause, maybe find love and start a family

Thank fuck that shit'll never happen

I'll have to pay up the ass for old, abandoned games. Really, the only thing that will change is that I won't be able to try out new games, so I'll just have to play it safe if I don't want to waste money. So I guess not much.

TPP is coming soon anyway.

At least they can't have an excuse for poor sales then.

Also, it's not like a lot of the stuff that comes out now is even worth pirating.

Find a new hobby while I wait to see if the vidya industry unfucks itself.

...

"Rent" games on steam by constantly refunding everything I play.

Isn't Trump gonna elected? Isn't he anti-TPP?

Lemmie know when the important sites go down, nobody cares.

Both Clinton and Trump say they are against it, but it helps out both of them immensely. They almost certainly just say it because that's what is popular.

I hate this world for taking fun and freedom out of my internet.
Fuck you America, you always ruin things for the whole of us.

Unlikely. Both candidates are against it. Sure, it's just a promise.

Go back to reading books I guess.

This barely does fuckall. The moment they take one site down two more take its place.

Jesus, man, fuck you America.

...

Should've stayed in Russia.

owned bitch

Shouldn't you be mad at the site owner for putting himself in a compromising position?

So you mean it'll become acceptable for oligarchy families and their corporate stooges to be purged soon?

And that's why i use i2p

Anybody wanna give out some private tracker invites? :^)

I wonder if making the site Tor exclusive would have kept it safe. Sure it will fuck up the normalfags but at least it's more discrete.

Then again, publicizing your site on social media platforms definitely didn't help the site.

They said the same thing with Mega/Megavideo, and it never came back.
After thepiratebay and kat gone we aren't really left with much.
I guess it's time we find a way of having not-indexed torrent sites.
Seeing as the technology behind bittorrent is based on it i don't understand why they didn't make it a thing already.
Hell, it could be done INSIDE your torrent downloading software.

Until Hillary gets elected. Then it'll be classified as hate speech.

Tor is a legit USA government honeypot without a vpn, I wouldn't expect much.

Has anyone here ever done a skyjacking?

I could care less if Kickass goes down or not, but I want to wake-up one morning and read a story about internet terrorists skyjacking the plane that Artem Vaulin is being extradited on, escaping with him by parachute, and then secreting him off to some safe house in the Slav world.

Don't the feds own tor now?

...

So what's the alternative gentlemen? What are we jumping to?

...

KURWA

Maybe you should leave, faglord.

See

I hope this happens. We'll all be harden criminals.

I guess some people truly never grow up and become competent, contributing members of their society.

Kind of pathetic if you ask me.

Hey user, you some kind of a big guy?

Nothing. Limetorrents is the only other torrenting site that I can think off, and it's empty.

wait wat. why does an ukrainan get arrested on grounds of US law when he isn't even in US?

Heres your for (you).

People will respond to this seriously

Wait, what's the last game worth pirating anyway?

????

I'm pretty sure your talking about certain sectors of the goverment fam, not all of America but I can't be sure if you rely are are that retarted or not?

Welcome to the dystopia we live in.

Pollackland is US' bitch.

I like how every time that type of post is made it gets like five posts going "HAHAHA I'M SO CLEVER I'M GOING TO POINT OUT THAT INFERIOR PEOPLE ARE GOING TO REPLY TO THIS POST UNLIKE MYSELF"

Furi because the devs are incompetent fucks but the game itself is actually good

ONE BILLION DOLLAHS!!!!!? OY VEY THAT GOY STOLE ONE TRILLION DOLLAHS I COULDA HAD! SOMEBODY GET BACK MY ONE SEPTILLION DOLLAHS

...

Most people don't like to pirate their games in the same network used to share CP, i may be poor but i don't want to be accused of being a pedo, and it may be a honeypot as well, some user showed pictures of how the FBI tracked these networks.

also

I was talking about the government fam, American government.

Crawl back to /vg/ if you're that triggered

oooo that sucks

Like right now? I'd be worried, but then again I'm set for life as vidya is concerned. I have both enough pirated and legit purchasesthat I will never ever finish in my life time.

Danm, Kat.cr was my go to torrent site, what are some good alternatives Holla Forums?

Because they're cucks to the Corporate-Marxist elite

I've got one I can spare for Gazelle Games, but applications are open right now since site activity is low as fuck.

Private trackers(GGn(slow as fuck) and Blackcats(don't even bother unless you've got a seedbox)), Usenet groups, IRC with XDCC, maybe some Onion shit and even certain forums with fileshares. Options are there if you wanna put in the effort to find them.

I'd continue to buy 1 or 2 games a year like I have for the last two decades.

I thought Torrentz was just an aggregate?

Nigga, did you seriously miss the joke?

piratebay :^)

barely surprises me at this point

...

I'm already in a private tracker for movies and television, but I've got nothing for games or for the odd bits of tele that the tracker doesn't have. It was nice having a general site.

Is madokami worth a damn or is it just translated crap?

Where the hell else can I download my Tarkovsky kinos for free lads?

Still haven't watch The Sacrifice, Nostalghia, Ivan's Childhood, and the one with Violin.

not replying to that guy but "contribute to society" is a term exclusively used by jaded older folks and fucking jews

we get so many years on this earth, half of it will be spent working just to keep a roof over our heads and food on our plates, the other half should be used for personal gratification and improvement

dude just get netflix :^)

wow they sure showed me its like 1337x, rarbg and IPT don't exist

there were lot's of other torrents websites with the same content, what i don't know is if they where just redirecting their requests to KAT.

Let's just keep an eye and check where the community that uploaded to KAT moves. Should be pretty obvious in a couple days.

There are some raws but the only new stuff it's accepting is translated. Last I heard the owner was trying to set up something new for raws.

jewtube

Okay Holla Forums redpill me on piratebay

nah nigga fuck all of america, you read it. FUCK you, i want yall niggas to spread wide and get FUCKED

I'm fucked.

It might well be that a wild proxy pops up from somewhere and the whole whack-a-mole they had going with the Piratebay starts anew.

>>>/reddit/

Seriously, does anyone have any good alternatives to kat.cr I've been using it ever since TPB and now I'm SoL for my Ranma Blu-Ray Rips

with jdownloader it gives me the srt aswell

have you tried nyaa

Sadly we're kinda out of big public general purpose trackers right now. TPB still technically exists but that's a honeypot about as subtle as a feminist with dyed hair.
Like said, just watch where the comminity from KAT goes(they already moved shop a couple of times with TPB anyways). Maybe a mirror pops up somehow, maybe limetorrents or another site pick up the slack. Who knows.

Poland, I am disappointed.

They were doing so well too.

...

If that's some weeb shit I always go to nyaa.se for that kind of stuff.

Just use nyaa.
Jesus Christ, how new are you?

Look at him and laugh.

Nyaa and BakaBT exist.

He didn't fly so good

Honestly TPB seems too widely used to be an effective honeypot, Kat.cr is where the selective pirates go, TPB is where all the normalfags that don't have qualms with piracy went, TPB is useless as hell to the feds because they'd be v& a good portion of the country, the only reason I don't use it is because of how atrocious the site's CSS is compared to how smooth kat.cr's was.

4/10 you got me to respond

Only bait picture i have.

But i still wanna take it

Shrug and laugh as the industry destroys itself once it realizes that's not what's threatening them and try and find something else to blame, likely the consumer base or used games. I hardly pirate and the games I do pirate I doubt they can take from me now.

Just play F2P games.
Kill piracy? F2P will prevail.

Rarbg, 1337x and IPT if you can get a invite. I don't have any, sorry.

...

...

pretty much this
most of my pirated games are just old and the devs are gone

Conclusions.

That was my opinion until the whole ownership of the site fuckery happened.
Also shit like this user encountered

...

Don't get me wrong, there are still legit torrents there, just watch what the fuck you're doing. That should go unsaid when you're pirating, though.

I still refuse to use it because of the CSS alone, if the feds are gunna have a honeypot they should at least TRY and put some effort into the design of it.

...

Well shit nigga what do you use?

Is there something wrong with Malwarebytes now?

When are they coming for me or are you fucks just paranoid as shit?

Isn't basically how limewire worked?

I think a general rule is that if it's kind of well seeded then it's usually good, but it doesn't hurt to check comments for any intelligent beings calling out bad things(and not just any idiot with norton going WOW TROJAN!!!!!!!!!!!!) or using whatever security software you trust to scan it. Better be safe than sorry.

nah he only thinks its not good enough

Use avira

That's pure guilt by association.
Public torrent trackers are used to share borderline CP. Are you afraid to use them?
The Internet is used to share CP. Are you afraid to use the Internet?
Pedophiles breathe air. Are you afraid to breathe?

It sucks now but if it's the last resort, speeds will pick up as routers get added to the network and development improves performance.

...

Rutracker. They even have an English site now.

No, he's just being an elitist cunt.

Skipping the whole paranoia is good when it comes to this shit argument, your ISP probably won't receive a notice unless you pirate a popular movie/tv show/piece of music, but those faggots are definitely gonna have evidence to make your life hell if it ever gets to court.

Your analogies are stupid, get lost pedo

It's not that you'll be put away immediately for pirating. I think it's more that now you are on a list of people they can go ahead and jail anytime for piracy.

Is like being a soldier and sticking your head out of a trench and saying "lol, nobody's sniped me yet so it must be completely safe you paranoid fucks".

Ahahahah go fuck yourself.

Avira is a broken piece of trash that guzzles your ram like kingdom fuck. Malwarebytes is anti-MALWARE, avira is an anti-VIRUS.
Besides, Bitdefender Free is the best you can get for nothing.

Nothing is, if you are infected Malwarebytes will kill it.

WTF why did I never hear about this?

WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER USB STICK

Feel free to leave at any time, FBI. Your D&C won't work here.

Dumbass, Malwarebytes is the infection. Have fun getting your memes stolen by Jews

pls no bully

So I'm fucked for torrenting old vidya and anime? I doubt this backwater slavhole gives much of a shit about that.

...

Your analogies were pretty fucking retarded m8.

Well yeah. That's how the law works.

does that site even fucking exist anymore?

It does, it's moribund.

...

Ok

How do I into private trackers guys?

yeah and it has a good amount of torrents but it's pretty dead, i mainly just use it's trackers

It's basically ded, Jim.

Nyaa and Bakabt you nigger are you stupid

Something like that, but a lot of sites tend to have times where they let anyone sign up for an account.

Wine doesn't work that well and most games still don't have ports.

see

Unless you have a seedbox you might as well not bother.

That didn't answer my question, you bully .

Trump was anti-TPP since before the election though.
Hillary's own advisor has openly said they're pro-TPP even if they claim otherwise in interviews.

TPP is actually imploding nowadays, what with France and Germany getting cold feet when they saw the true extent of that abortion, and with Brexit looming, it's a further nail in the coffin.

Please meditate on what you just posted, user.

This, he even calls it out as a bad trade deal for practically anyone involved aside from a few certain others, of course

My mistake

**I will bully you regardless*

Even more so, Hillary helped write the damn thing.

What a terrible day. Codemonkey sells out hard and now this.

I would find other ways to get free shit, which would mean finding useful idiots to fund my endeavors. With the world of paytreon and kikestarter and many more, my possibilities could be endless.

If only I had the hardware to do so.

???

what?

Speaking as a fellow ex-Soviet bloc slavanon(literal butt of Yurop here), you're probably safe for now. Until TPP/TTIP come to fruition, even if recent developments show they probably won't.

What? Really?

you see user, i live in a 3rd world country. it just comes naturally

F2P and abandonware, I guess

So much time spent on Holla Forums and it took a smug elf to make me realize what a piece of shit I have been until today. He's right. You're not smart for pirating. You're either too stupid to not be poor, or petty thieves.

good post

...

/n/ is angry that they aren't used for headlines on the front page anymore. The new board that's used for that now is shit, too.

0/10 got me to reply

So you mean just usual drama and nothing actually important?

I guess that's the end of this site. Where do we migrate to now?

Watch and laugh at the goys.

Basically, Codemonkey is trying to create a new /n/ called /newsplus/. He replaced the links on the front page of this site with links to that board and to the news stories. The catch?

THIS NEW BOARD DOES NOT ALLOW ARCHIVED LINKS

THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO CAN START A THREAD ARE MODS AKA REPORTERS

It's a rather shitty situation. There is a thread on some of the other boards like Holla Forums and so on. He even added a sticky to /n/ to send people over to this new board when /n/ would not play along with the changes he wanted them to implement. It's a depressing situation.

As long as igg is still going then I don't care

Like others have said, it won't stop piracy, but it will increase the tedium of it. Unless a mirror pops out or someone else takes the throne there is no popular, public tracker left outside of piratebay.

The goverments/companies are most interested in finding who the distributer is. If they stop that, they can "keep" their money as if pirates are suddenly going to pay for it.

like on 2chan?

/n/ has been "POOJEET LOLOLOLOL" and Holla Forums vs. /leftpol/ since its inception, i'm not surprised to hear that

also apparently i have a demonoid invite, if anybody wants it post your email

How the fuck do the people in charge of chans always end up being fucking morons?

So just like 2ch? /n/ is shit anyways due to being overrun by ints(l)/foolz faggots.

Because who else would want to be in charge of an imageboard?

You can only direct-link on this new site and cannot archive links. Only mods can post news links. It is an utterly controlled environment that would make halfchan blush. The fact that he is altering the front page of this site is a serious issue.

I honestly don't know. I want to say autism but then again, moot.

Should I be wary of TPB if I'm not a burger? I never stopped using it.

The main issue is how he went about doing it but yeah. Shit is fucked up.

Considering how I even have to force myself to pirate some of the shit I see? I'd probably get serious about making my own videogames, much cheaper, educational and I probably could sell better crap than what's available in the market. I'd just have to find niches and fulfill them since that's something AAA never does.

But let's be serious here, while you are asking each individual what they'd do in that situation, what would happen to the industry in that situation?
Open the catalog, see how many games you can find being discussed. Of them all, just how many are actually good? How many do people genuinely like to play and are talking about them?
Denuvo is currently uncracked so lost sales shouldn't affect it's sales or discussion of the game, and yet you'll be hard pressed to find anyone at all talking about any game that features Denuvo past the marketing\hype\prerelease stage.

If they did manage to stop piracy, all that would happen is that a lot of people wouldn't spend as much, fearing a better game was about to be released and they had to save for it. Trailers and bullshots wouldn't even work, there wouldn't even be a place for hype. Everyone would clutch their money tight and buy the games only weeks after release and with enough information to make sure the game was good.

You know what? I have no fucking idea what I'm saying here. No Piracy would forcibly educate all the gullible faggots to stop buying pre-orders\early access and actually research the game before buying it, and with the added bonus that nobody would talk about horrible games because nobody would waste time or money with them.
Why the fuck are companies against piracy again? Seems like they get the best deal with free shilling done by pirates…

You don't need to watch Nostalghia. It's the one Tarkovsky film that doesn't qualify as kino.

You should be wary of your shit taste in anime girls. If you live in some backwater then not really

Wouldn't it be safe to use the different mirrors TPB has? I don't use it so another user can correct me.

What could possibly go wrong

...

So let me get this straight: he wanted to implement some changes to /n/, absolutely no one fucking liked it, and he decides to make a new board after that?

I'm in Brazil. huehuehue

/n/ was a hellhole of uselessness but this still bullshit.

Actual stone cold theft.

I had/have some nasty hackware and trojans from installing kmspico and microshit security essentials was getting shit that malwarebytes wasn't and much faster too.

Yes. And then take over the front page of this site so that all news links lead to his board instead. The hijacking of things and trying to force his board by doing sucks.

If it wasn't the end of the site when copypaste removed /n/ from the front page for a while, I don't see why it would be the end now. What a silly reason to flee a website.

That was the entire idea, actually. It's a stupid idea though, in my opinion. I don't care that /n/ isn't getting special privileges anymore, though.

Only an idiot would ever bother with running an imageboard. You have to be incompetent at running your life to end up running an imageboard.

What a fucking idiot.

sent :^)

check the spam folder, i use cockmail for this kind of shit and it gets redirected to spam on the regular

Oh let me guess its another shoah

From the looks of things you lads are getting flustered over nothing

Yes, the new board, along with its rules and system, are absolutely fucking shit- but what would've actually been alarming is if he didn't make a new board for it after it was generally well hated on /n/

There's also the fact that there's a shit ton of outside forces trying to spread as much disinfo and chaos as possible

To play double's advocate here, the whole FREE PUBLICITY FROM PIRACY argument has always been retarded if you're an established developer or working in any creative industry. They have faggots in a marketing department do that promotion for you, piracy won't help in that regard. Now if you're struggling or independent, a little free distribution is a risk that can probably help.

The board does allow archived links just not in the OP. The Neetsocks are crying that they can't shitpost /n/ to oblivion to make people use Holla Forums and get some rightthink up the ass

What if they theoretically manage to kill game piracy, but the industry collapses as a result.

That would be pretty funny.

Forcing people to not archive, limiting who can post articles, and replacing the front page of the website with your shit is pretty shitty thing to do.

Just moderate /n/ better.

You just have to worry about being mugged, raped and murdered by your local gangs and your economy that is following Venezuela's.

I don't see it, try this one.

Dunno what everyone is talking about "no archived links" or why everyone instantly believes a faggot online instead of checking for themselves.
8ch.net/newsplus/res/177.html#190

The damage control is strong.

It's not like he nuked /n/ or anything, you still have it along with another board that will be dead in a few weeks

Call me when he decides to do something that's actually important

I mean we have successful people on these boards it's not so hard to imagine that someone would take up the banner like hotwheels did.

i'm retarded and sent the first one to .com, i just sent it again to your .info address. check that one again then let me know

Oh wait, nevermind, took long enough. Thanks! How do I not be a tremendous faggot?

Best recipe for disaster in this thread so far

...

i honestly have no idea. i've never commented on anything and only leech off them because i'm an asshole. apparently there are commenting rules etc but maybe just check the rules before uploading a bestiality compilation torrent or something

Oy Vey!

It's on it's way there with how shit they're becoming and how many of the cashcows are dying and the total lack of innovation and increased pressure from marxists to conform.

He removed the links from the front page so they lead to his board. He is advertising his board by directing people to that. Imagine if they did that with /vvv/? If you are okay with this, don't be surprised when it comes down to you guys. This is the kind of shit that led to halfchan becoming what it is.

Kotaku would love it. Polygon too.

...

Archiving is circlejerk-tier now, being able to see the source on the link instead of having to click to see it's another Sun article is neat and avoids people visiting the page to begin with.

The rest, I'd consider it a valid reason to complain where it not for the fact /n/ is shit. It's pajeet, shit, Holla Forums vs Holla Forums and Holla Forums shitpost everywhere. There's not a single news there worth 5 seconds to read and I'm not even sure some of those posts are actually real.

And in any case, this is Holla Forums. Someone doesn't like a board, he makes a new one in his way and tries to do a better job.
If /n/ is so great with no moderation, I'm sure a lot of people will keep visiting it instead of /newsplus/ but if that doesn't happen, maybe you guys shouldn't have shitposted so much. It surely won't be missed, that much is certain.

...

Although I believe them to be misguided I can understand the other three but
Why the fuck is this a thing?

Why wouldn't it be, goy?

Gonna make money somehow, don't you want to read about how men are sexist pigs for the 5,000 time? Well don't use archive then!

Metrics, I assume?

...

Literally what?

That does not entail changing the front page of this website in it's own special section by adding links to your very own board. If he did not alter the front page, if he was not advertising it there and instead was letting it grow naturally, I would not even begin to care and just laugh at the terrible idea he is trying to force. I'd rather neither board get linked on the front page in it's own special section.

I have enough entertainment archived to last several lifetimes.

You a consumer cuck, fam.

/n/ was getting special privileges by being on the front page all this time, and now another board is. I don't see the issue. What the admin giveth, the admin taketh away.

You were free to fuss at the admins to take it down then. I don;t think it should have been there either and I commented on it many times long ago.

God I love /n/

Nigger, just get a bookmark to the catalog of whatever board you visit and stop being dumb.

And if the headlines in the homepage where just "Pajeet did this shit" and "Trump is GOD, here's why", I can see why they'd change them to some other board, preferably one where they can moderate it to prevent something like that from happening.
Or did you seriously expect that "The Daily Shitpost" kept being posted on the front page of the site? Or that it was even a good idea to have that happen?
Like I said, had you guys shitposted less, this wouldn't even be necessary.
Were I a tinfoil hat, I'd think this was all part of Holla Forums shitposting the site because they knew those news would always appear on the homepage of Holla Forums.

Sounds like the exact same kind of shit Frederick tried to force on Holla Forums.

W E W
E
W

I don't give a fuck about /n/. Back to the torrent news please.

...

There's no excuse for "no archive links" unless it's to make money off of tracking referrers, none.

This kind of nonsense is how halfchan fell.

That said, all the shit you are complaining about is still there. The quality has not changed, it just has direct-links out the ass now.

Fucking hell.

What do these people want from me? Do they expect me to pay for this shit?!

These usually end up being shill posts, but my concern is growing by the day about this place. Not just in terms of 8ch, but its competitors as well.

We may or may not get a straw breaking the camel's back like GG was on halfchan, but I'm still worried about the deteriorating quality of the site and its administration. To the point where 8ch might as well be considered on-par with halfchan in terms of trustworthiness. Problem is, there's no alternative, and most of the ones that do crop up are D&C as fuck.

So what's the escape plan? There is no escaping this hell, but, you know, theoretically.

torrentz.com/
I often use this thing. It finds me torrents in many different sites so even if it's not available on KAT or PB, I can find it somewhere else. torrentdownloadsme is currently my best backup since my ISP for some reason doesn't block it…

That one I have an hard time understanding, but I guess they simply don't care. The article is often quoted on the thread anyway and I guess you can tell a source with a glance if there's an actual link there.
Or maybe it's something to do with journalistic integrity? I dunno.
Has anyone asked the logic behind those rules so we can get a specific answer to this?

You say that, but I go to the homepage and I see 2 threads dedicated to scientific articles and actually newsworthy articles, especially from other countries that aren't just India yet again.
If you think this is of the same quality as yet another article explaining why God-Emperor Trump deserves to rule over all humanity or how Pajeet still can't find the toilet, I guess shitposting is terminal for you.

Fug. Anyone have a good site to pirate porn from then?

KAT was cancer anyway, this shit was bound to happen.

Just go on /scurv/, or search for trackerless torrents on the darknet. Or hell even get a usernet subscription, or an i2p client. Piracy isn't going away.

hornpub

I dislike the idea of leaving greatly. I honestly don't know where to go if that were the case. I may fuck off to /sp/ on some other site but I don't know about Holla Forums. I'd be okay with Codemonkey treating all the boards the same and dropping the Latest Headline shit. That and at least make global announcements about this shit. I'm a board owner and I only found out about this by pure chance.

The very screenshot I posted shows much of the same shit. this is because the same person who used to post shit like that on /n/ is a mod on /newsplus/. Many of the same people are posting their shit over there. Then again, watch how soon that place will be steeped in clickbait and Holla Forums becomes another clickbait peddler.

Oh yeah buy everything with the money THAT I DON'T HAVE.

Seriously anti piracy fags it's not rocket science.

shit
anyone got a mirror/other site i could use

usenet is a service of the gods. It is the proto shitpost heaven and everyone can learn something from just the most basic utilization of it.

The straw that broke the camel's back in halfchan was more like a giant tree. Seriously, censoring posts about the biggest happening we had in years just because some bitch had asked the (already distrusted and distant) moderation, and on top it happened when we just discovered how bad social justice had gotten in gaming and we were discussing how to fight back. It managed to massively alienate both of the most loyal members of 4chan at the same time.
I'm not sure how Codemonkey could even come close to a fuck up of these dimensions right now.

It's really easy. Just set up yet another chan.

I actually have this idea of making a distributed Holla Forums folder app, because regular folders suck dick. And it's supposed to work in such a way that you can create forums and shit. So you'd be able to have distributed non-ownable imageboard. Full time job prevents me from actually working on it though.

not going to happen mate

heh

There's no escaping plan, fag. There's always some threat looming over the site's head and fear mongering solves nothing.
I really wish people stopped angrily criticizing admins for not appeasing everyone when that's never an option. With /n/ it was either keep the shitposting or have actual news and some people are gonna be upset that they can shitpost anymore but some people were upset there was nothing worth reading there before.
Maybe they did this new board because they wanted to do something about this. Maybe instead of just heavily moderate /n/ to their standards, they left them to keep the board and do with it as they please but just without their help anymore.

Because this seems a lot like /n/ shitposters complaining they have competition now and they don't like it because they know they can't compete.
If /newsplus/ is so fucking bad right now, why would it ever overtake /n/, right?

But you didn't post a screenshot at all… Do you want to provide one, link to shitposting on /newsplus/ or can I just laugh at you now?

It's a search engine for torrents. There are still like a dozen smaller sites out there.

The only endchan admin that wasn't a complete fucking retard was the guy footing the server bill. Everyone else over there succumbed to freech memes or was retarded beyond hope in other areas, like odilitime, who practically worshipped the ground Hotwheels rolled on to the point he considered bringing him on as a global vol.
Board ownership fuckery was also a huge problem. It was literally a case of admins giving owned boards to the people that sucked them off the most in IRC.
Endchan was shaping up to be the promised land when Infinity NeverEver was happening but it lost all of it's momentum two months in.

couldnt care less, play only free shit i guess, not giving one cent to this industry

All those links lead to /newsplus/. This is what you're making excuses for.

Will you fags shut the fuck up about migrating, Holla Forums was designed to be rebooted in case of emergency. We fought for this place and you're willing to give it up like it's nothing.

Like I said, 2 news articles about scientic discoveries, a Wikileaks article and a few about foreing politics.
Does this look or sound the same to you as what /n/ currently is? Does this seem like it's the same quality to you?

Well guess what, it can't be rebooted. Site Goblin have fucked up codebase beyond repair, kikewheels being a huge kike he is pozzed the community with causing large influx of literal redditards, then there was all the drama with board ownership, and finally it's been transfered to whats-his-face and nothing have improved anywhere. It's fucked and any kind of control over the situation you're seeing is only an illusion, because in reality you just can't do shit.

...

You're right it does seem pretty garbage.

/n/ when it isn't being spammed looks just like that. Spamming can be fixed with better moderation. That said, it is very alarming when you have a board owner letting the headline news stories of his site be decided by some cabal that no one is aware of. If these people really are reporters, how is it not alarming that reporters have approached Codemonkey to post links to their news stories unarchived and only they? This is reaching halfchan levels of nonsense now, especially with no effort made to show how clickbait is avoided.

Wait, seriously? Rach the Cancer is one of the people running neo-n that goes to the front page?

Yep

we will just stop using the internet and only download porn?
what about hispanachan? that shit is always advertised here

You should have said that aloud before posting the rest because anything else is irrelevant since it just doesn't happen.
At which point everyone will complain about censorship, rulecucks, free speech, yadda yadda. Come on, user. You know how this usually goes, let's not be that naive.
Reminder that you can still visit /n/ instead of /newsplus/ if you want, nobody is forcing you to go there. /n/ just got competition and anyone that hates competition is a dirty communist.

A few months ago you couldn't even post on Holla Forums without getting a dozen posting errors. The only thing that isn't improving is all the retards saying "everything's fucked, abandon ship" who are unwilling to be part of the solution.
As far as I can tell, Holla Forums is still holding up its ideals and is more than capable of making a name for itself.

The only ((reporter)) names on /jewsplus/ are Cowboy, Hadji, Maddow, Mastiff and Dakota. That's it. Five people are responsible five pages of posted articles.
Porchmonkey is fine with letting five fucking people dictate what the headlines are on the board index.

I don't know if it actually is the same person, but the fact that he's using the name isn't very comforting to me.

Stop fearmongering about the site you faggots.

Think of everytime Holla Forums plays any fucking game that needs cooperation.

I left 4chaim, because the site was shit, massively shit.
Especially during GG I was getting 3 day bans repeatedly, all of Germany was blocked, moot went behind everyones back and told them to ban GG threads well he went to watch Anita at her gig.
Then when he got back he sold the site just as anyone with half a brain said he would.

YOU AE A MASSIVE FUCKING FAGGOT IF YOU THINK WHAT IS HAPPENING IS WITH THIS BOARD IS EVEN FUCKING COMPARABLE TO WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT SHITHOLE.

I assume if you are a reporter, hopefully with decent credentials, and you wish to post on /newsplus/, then you talk to codemonkey and he'll give you a password.

sounds like a fair system to me.

Oh no! Dont mean shit. Pirates find a way. As for archiving. Its called SHARE THREADS. I have every fucking game Holla Forums would ever want to play, ever. Besides new releases. Just laugh as it all burns.

Declaring this or that irrelevant doesn't make it so. If you are okay with a secret cabal controlling a board that is promoted on the front page of this website, or this website being used to promote clickbait then by all means continue. It's glad to see that you are utterly skipping over the possible points for whatever excuse you use to keep yourself warm. People stayed behind on 4chan after all.

Then he should remove the board form the front page and let things stand with the better board winning rather than outright favoring one board over the other.

Which is why /newsplus/ is being promoted on the front page of this site? That's totally the same as letting random boards live and die fairly.

jesus christ what the fuck

Here's your (you)

The drama on this site is very comfy.

How do you determine that? What is to stop this from being used to promote clickbait? Why let someone advertise if they are not paying for it? Escaping clickbait is one of the things that brought people to this site.

It's pretty disgusting. I look forward to Gorilla Hernandez becoming a staple on this site.

yes lets find a reason to ignore the actual message in posts, and shitpost and be general faggots bashing are heads together.

Or we can actually fucking discuss something like reasonable people as this decides the fate of future shitposting.

My point is more that I personally don't care whats on the front page despite liking /n/ and thinking /news+/ is retarded.

We've been through the same old song and dance before. I'm sure we will again.

With how decentralized Holla Forums is, I don't see something massive like that happening. If Holla Forums dies, it will be one board fucking off for whatever reason at a time.

Nobody on Holla Forums has better shitposting credentials than learningcode. /news+/ is truly an abortion, kek.

Meta threads are the lifeblood of all communities of high quality posters. It is pretty comfy.

...

jej

How else are you supposed to deliver quality news on an anonymous imageboard, besides rigourous moderation which I doubt codemonkey has the time for?
Keeping a few individuals who have written for credible news source in the past and protecting their identities works.

That's nice but some people do since it is more than what is on the front page but the shit going on behind the scenes. If you don't care about the principle of this website that's fine but some of us do.

I don't think either one should be advertised. I never liked /n/ getting advertised because they were not as vigilant with archiving like some other boards were. This was the height of GG.

How soon before we start seeing Rugga posts on the front page? I can easily see this shit, if it hasn't already, get hijacked by this group or that or even goons.

...

Since complaining about it won't really change it, what is a possible solution since a lot of anons don't like this change?

I know that is sarcasm but there are people here that seriously believe that's actually what's going on. Let's not encourage them to think they're right.

I had no idea learningcode was a journalist for a "credible" news source! Where did you get this insider information, user? It would make a lot of sense, actually.

Seriously who are rachposter and Learningchode and why is this a problem? I don't use /n/ or any political boards.

You misunderstood. Talking about /n/ being good when it's not shitposted is irrelevant since /n/ is always shitposted.

It's their site, they do what they want with it. Not gonna say that makes me happy, but it is what it is. Nobody has any authority over those decisions but them, you can only choose to stay despite them or leave because of them.

And in any case, not many people visit the front page, they jump directly to whatever board they want. I'd sooner worry about the recommended boards in the sidebar than the frontpage.

And if you're gonna put some board's news on the frontpage, might as well make it the one with less shitposting, no?

The fact that there is /n/? If articles on /newsplus/ are clickbait ever, people will just go back to /n/, no?

Rachposter is your regular avatarfag shit-stirrer faggot
I have no idea about the other guy

By letting people look at news themselves. This is an imageboard. It is not meant to deliver news to us nor provide a platform. If you are okay with secret groups doing shit without your knowing, then halfchan is the place for you.

How do you know it is rigorous? How can you trust Codemonkey to scrutinize the journalistic worth of an article or of a journalist while he himself is not a journalist or having any journalistic training in the first place? If he does not have the time to moderate, how does he have the time to site down and scrutinize the credentials of total strangers? None of your objections make this any better and in fact reveal even more concerning issues.

Why should we trust Codemonkey to make this decision and force it on everyone else? How do you define credibility? You're just making terrible excuses for letting someone else act as gatekeeper for information while going against the spirit of this website and it's system.

You dont see anything wrong with a board where nobody can start a thread except the Chosen Ones? Its going to lead to inevitable cult of personality cocksucking and dramafaggotry. It goes against the spirit of an imageboard.

Read more books

if the new jounalists prove to be shitposters, then big deal, off they go. If codemonkey refuses to ban them, then you can start flinging shit.

I know you neets have never had a job before, but this is how things works.

fucking steal from gamestop idc at that point

this

So you both are either assuming everyone is massively stupid and will stick around on a board where that kind of shit is gonna happen…
Or you actually don't know if that shit is gonna happen, you "just know" it's gonna happen.
Seriously, if /n/ can't handle competition from 5 tripfags delivering news, it shouldn't even be allowed to be a board.

...

That's not true. /n/ was your average site with random news stories. The shitposting is a more recent thing.

That's why I'm concerned. I don't like it. They can do what they want with this site but one does not have to like it. They could datamine and infect all our computers with viruses that rape our asses but that doesn't make it right.

Oh yes, I hate that and almost left over that. Nothing was even said to anyone about that as well. I had to go into /sudo/ and pitch a fit just to find a fix for it and even then, I was hoping they would remove it since it just leads to boards being raided and cancer spreading around rather than being contained. Shit is terrible.

But if /n/ is being shitposted into the ground then what? People leaving a board does not fix the cancer that is or was there surprisingly. this was the case with /sp/ and so on.

The problem anons have is that it's being officially promoted by Holla Forums's admin. I can tell you that nobody is moving from /n/ to /news+/.

Leaving a board doesn't change the fact that a bunch of secret fuckers are controlling this site or some shady shit is going on behind the scenes. Not even board owners were told of this shit.

then he will catch shit for it, and be removed.
This is not anything like 4chaim where the person doing this shit is owner.

So, are we suppose to report meta threads or

user, it's gay if balls are touching.

It sounds like someone promoting his buttbuddies and abusing his authority, is this really that new to you?

Do what your heart tells you

You actually believe there's a quality control process in place for selecting and/or weeding out "journalists"?
I was giving you the benefit of the doubt earlier but it seems I was wrong.

The shills are out in force tonight. The complaints about Porchmonkey's pet project are apparently striking a nerve. Keep at it.

More like Codemonkey having some bad ideas and trying to promote his IRC buddies. Luckily this chan is decentralized, and they can't take control over anything without the board owners noticing and telling us.

We aren't kids you know, maybe that shit works for millennials but I know exactly why your deflecting.

I'd stop playing new video games.

Thankfully it's impossible to stop piracy.

It's Jim's son doing this you fucking autist.

True. I hate it though.

I didn't hear about this shit. Hotwheels used to tell the board owners when he was doing most shit or at least direct us to shit he wanted us to look at. Aside from the message I got from the new community manager, I haven't heard shit about this thing from them.

16chan.nl

just a reminder of where to exodus.

Holla Forums gets more cucked each passing day, at this rate, it won't be long until this site needs an account and valid phone number in order to post. /kikeplus/ is just codemonkey showing more of his natural kikery

this, I have no idea who doesn't encounter this in their lifetime especially when you play video games.

This is nothing new or abnormal.
You bitch about it, make sure the proper people know, make sure other board users know and the problem works itself out.

Never heard of this you have a image or something explaining this?

Then see above what I said, the fact people are openly discussing this shows that they are not the New Lord and Rulers.

Which is why I was bringing up 4chaims, people were getting IP banned to such a degree that other people were having problems connecting because of the range.

If faggots like you are listened too, it always ends up with a dead board.

It infuriates me after seeing the exact same shit happen with 8ch SS13 server, the Wurm server, 420 chan and other chans that people still fucking listen to idiots like you.

WHEN THE BOARD IS FUCKED YOU WILL KNOW BECAUSE EVERYONE WILL BE SCREAMING FOR EXODUS NOT JUST ONE BUTTHURT FAGGOT IN THE ROOM

I think a journalists' actions speak for themselves. For the sake of anonymity we shouldn't know who these people are.
If you want a board where absolutely anybody can talk about anything, go to Holla Forums.

There's a sticky on /n/ about the news asking people to send in their applications for being a reporter on the new board. I don't think he could've made it more obvious.
Maybe Codemonkey is just accepting any application without looking too much into it, that wouldn't be very surprising.

...

They did not ban everyone on 4chan who spoke out against this shit. I to this day have not been banned, despite kicking up a fuss in multiple threads and sending a lengthy e-mail to moot making it clear which posts were mine. I was expecting a ban but it never came so that is a poor scale to measure how fucked this site may be. That said, none of that answers any of the issues there are with the system or its implications.

Too go on a fucking tangeant, you think board drama is new?
You think there weren't the same cries of anguish when Snacks was removed?
You think people weren't losing their shit during Habbo raids and HACKERS ON STEROIDS
There have been a fucking million calls of exodus on a fucking hundreds of boards for 16 years.

When the board is shit you know, because its fucking apparent, the management is making contradictions, people are getting banned and silenced.

He never told the board owners of the change to the Latest Headlines on the front page of the site. Hotwheels used to tell us about changes like that, even if we did not care or figured it was a big deal. That said, having Codemonkey be the one to scrutinize shit is not very comforting in the least. This is a poor process.

Then you weren't fucking there.
GG threads and hotpocket threads were left up as long as the rhetoric was largely anti-gg and pro moot.
The ban list was fucking long as hell, people were getting banned for Nigger, people were going to Holla Forums because the moderation was less severe and threads were deleted 30 minutes after being up instead of 10.
I was personally banned several fucking times, for doing nothing but arguing my point and calling into question the authority since moot gave his permission and was on vacation.
Everyone thought it was some random moderator going on a power trip when the boss was away.
Then after moot got back he did a 180 and was a condescending ass on the IRC.
It was over a fucking weekend when he went on a vacation without a laptop, right before he left giving permission to GG threads.

So how the fuck are you going to say you sent a email to moot, about your posts?
Nigga, what the fuck are you talking about.

Which is why people are still on halfchan? People only react when it affects them or their principles, no matter how bad things seem to others which is pretty bad really.

You know, speaking of the community manager, isn't this exactly the sort of thing that guy is here for? Maybe go talk to him about it. He has a board to contact him at, right?

Fuck you I was there. I was one of the people reporting the cracked spam, which was spammed on multiple board. After moot made an announcement that GG was banned off of Holla Forums, I sent him an e-mail. I don't know how I lucked out but I wasn't banned.

He's not the best really. He sent a message out but you cant message him back. The process is not the best but understandable since he's not being paid (presumably).

They don't know or care because they weren't there or were young to begin with.

I still play with /vg/ occasionally and a majority of posters there are underage.

That would be a good start compared to fucking calling for exodus on a board just recovering its userbase.

I just realized that both Holla Forums and /n/ are now showing up on the top 25 boards. Weird.

He made a board about news and put himself in charge. I'd assume he knows something about the subject.
If not, he should get a board owner who does.
If he doesn't then things are shittier than I thought.

cuckchan was fucked for years, and when gamergate happened, only a very small fraction of the userbase actually moved.

so yeah, fuck you, i will advertise possible alternatives as much as i can and keep warning you idiots of what you're purposefully denying, the site is cucked and is slowly becoming cuckchan 2.0.

has no one really noticed that the 2 biggest imageboards of the west are now owned by hiroyuki and jim? who were partners in the 2ch business? how the fuck hasn't this sent any red alerts up Holla Forumss asshole? maybe they're too busy shoving anne frank shaped dildos up their faggot nazi buttcheeks to realize what this fact implies, they never stopped being partners, and they control the resistance that was created in imageboards

...

I made a board about weather but that doesn't mean I know jack shit about meteorology.

Oh he did send a message out? No one mentioned that in the thread so far. Hmm.

I don't really know or care about /n/ or the front page so I'm not gonna be the one to do it.

Seems to me though that the "no archive in OP post" thing is just to keep it clear what the source of the news post is? You can post an archive immediately below. But that way people at least know where it's coming from. It may not be ideal but I don't think all the paranoia and freaking out is really required either.

this is get tiring to argue about.
If you think that people are going to move because some faggot is on a power trip when most have experience the clusterfuck that was GG.

I don't think you have a firm grasp on the situation.
You seem to be far less of someone who wants to have somewhere to post and someone who is trying to a prophet or a rabble rouser.

Its pretty transperant and if I had to guess I would put your age around 18-19 though I know there are 30s who have your maturity due to a sheltered life style.

I seriously had to check what board I was on. No one is talking about the OP or video games.

He sent a message out introducing himself and such. It was nice but you couldn't respond back not that we need to really.

And i will keep ignoring your salty ass, because you are full of shit.

>Guys you're being controlled! Once two guys that dislike each other manage to get a hold of all the shitposting in the world there will be nothing left to stop them!

This I'm going back to playing EDF, why the fuck would I want teenage drama.

It's been a while since Holla Forums had a discussion like this, especially since Holla Forums went to shit.

It's refreshing honestly, seeing everyone's fears about this site.

Oh I thought you meant he sent a message out re: the /n/ change.

This is the sorta thing he should be here for. To put out that information, and then take and answer questions about it, field issues to codemonkey, etc. That's like the whole point of a community manager.

You keep insisting that everyone with a complaint about this is some sort of underage faggot.

No, nothing about that. I wouldn't comment on here if I head about it and would comment to whomever sent me the message. No e-mails either and some board owners have e-mails attached to their board where they can be contacted if need be. I don't expect that much but something would have been nice.

No having a complaint is fine, go fucking complain all you want.
Spread the word make every faggot on this site now.
But don't start fucking fearmongering about exodus which will fucking cripple the site like its owner over something that may be fixable in a few days when everyone understands the situation.

This is such fucking simple stuff, that I only assume anyone who fails to grasp this must be either sheltered or underage to not have experienced something like this before in their life.

Fuck this happens with every fucking server.

Look at Wurm and ss13 same exact shit.

Seems like CM was planning on using him as more of a buffer wall than anything.

Yeah they don't seem to be making the most out of their community manager.

Well yeah, of course. But that's what I'm saying. If he'd mentioned the changes people could bitch at him and I think folk would be less angry.

Nigger you need to learn to read. Not once have I promoted the idea of leaving this site. Calling out porchmonkey's bullshit != promoting an exodus.
Get your head out of your ass.

that's what I have been addressing the entire time, as well as making sure no one here thinks this is on the same fucking level as the 5 car pile up that happened on 4chins.

Does the mumble know their resident depressed furfag shitstain is posting when he shouldn't be?

Not play or watch movies for a start

My original post in this thread was in response to this

These niggers are talking about it too.

So yes earlier in the thread there were people doing what I said, everything up to this point has been me responding to people responding to me.
So you are fucking retard who doesn't bother to read the thread yet declares something to be so.

Sound familiar?

Without piracy, customers can't try before they buy. That's pretty much the only reason, (((they))) can't shovel their shit into people's mouths as easily.

Fuck off D&C shill

Pick one and only one.

furfags and the stingiest porn industralists will abuse the damn trade doc and sue govts billions with TPPA anyways

his fault for support Apple products and having an Facebook account.

...

What hes leaving out is the part where in the new board that codemonkey is fronting you can only post threads if you're a "journalist", spamming will be banned and no archive.is links. Its a good goy sub for the journalists that have been trying to destroy Holla Forums forever and a half now. On top of that its now taken /n/'s spot on the frontpage of the site with the news headlines.

They aren't trying to stop piracy.
They're trying to make the MPAA jews happy by making it look like they can stop piracy.

The proxies are still working m69

Okay, so where should one get torrents from now? TPB has been utter shit ever since the bust, and everywhere else seems to have too little traffic to seed anything but the most hyped titles (AAA trash)
