I like reading 4chan to improve my English and for fun. But 4chan has been down these days. Where do 4channers go when it is down? When will 4chan get recovered?
2 ：
Oh, sorry... >>1 not "tread", but "thread". I'm stupid... ;_;
3 ：
lol, I tried making a 4chan thread earlier, but couldn't for some reason. My IP address had made a thread too soon? Anyway, 4channers usually flock to other English-speaking chans, like 7chan, but 7chan is going through changes. Some even go to foreign chans like Russian or Japanese ones. As for when 4chan will be back, I am not sure. I'd like to know myself.

4chan is down because of DDoS attack by people who take the internet too seriously. Older 4chan users go to iichan. Newer ones go to 7chan or 420chan. Chances are they've already stopped the attack on 4chan, but moot is extremely lazy. Usually when this happens he calls up the data center and tells them to pull the plug. Then goes out and does other things, and eventually gets around to calling them up to put them back online.
5 ：
4-ch.net is also an excellent site. it is a text BBS like 2ch.
6 ：
4chan is still down! Come on! Mr. Moot!
7 ：
I love 4chan. It's so heavy with despair.
8 ：
>>7 I am in despair. *Tssh* *Tssh* *Tssh* ZETSUBOUSHITA!
7chan is not bad, but it seems slower than 4chan. I miss 4chan... >>10 Me 2. North Korea Rocks!!
14 ：
>>4 >4chan is down because of DDoS attack by people who take the internet too seriously. Why do they hate 4chan? I think 4chan is just a crappy website like 2chan. Ah, that reminds me, I heard that 2chan got down by the DDOS attack from Korea or China. lol. It seems there are quite a lot of people who have too much free time.
15 ：
>>10 Yeah, North Korea's the only country with any balls left. But lately it seems they're willing to co-operate with everyone. >>13 7chan's going through a redesign right now so it's noticeably suckier this time around. >>14 A lot of people aren't happy with the way moot runs the place. They feel neglected and are angry at the cancer that's plagued the boards. Sometimes they try to take things into their own hands, like when 4chan's domain name was hijacked in December. Many have been suggesting that 4chan needed some downtime in order for the chubou to find something else to do. I guess the DDoSers might be acting on that.
16 ：
They're just kids with nothing else to do. They felt that it would be "funny" to DDoS a lot of English imageboards and try to pin the blame on each other. http://pastebin.ca/1079101 Giving them too much attention will only increase this sort of crap.
17 ：
I feel it my duty to inform you that I've lost the game. I'm very sorry about this.
18 ：
Also, wtf, brain. "the blame" != "the game" for christ's sake.
19 ：
>>16 Yea. They also think it's pissing moot off, which it really isn't. Moot isn't kidding when he says he doesn't take the internet seriously. 4chan doesn't make him money, so he just shuts it off when this happens.
20 ：
Also, I like it how they missed 4-ch.net and iichan. It just shows that know nothing about English imageboard and are just doing this for "EPIC LULZ XD."
You cannot post on 4chan from Japan. Instead, you have to use a proxy. To get a proxy, use Google, and search "web proxy." Many proxies are banned for being proxies, or for posting child pornography, but a substantial number of them are not.
32 ：
>>31 What? I thought the Japanese connection ban was lifted years ago. It's a shame that Futaba doesn't follow suit.
33 ：
>>31 I'm Japanese living in Japan and I can post on 4chan without a proxy. I go to /a/, /v/, /jp/,/cosplay board/, and /cute male/(I'm shotacon lol). How about you guys? What board do you go often?
34 ：
>>33 I do not go to 4chan. It is a waste of time. One should stay FAR AWAY from 4chan. The last time I checked, it was full of drug addicts and high-school dropouts. The quality of 4chan has been steadily declining over the years. I have tried to make my own anonymous message-board website, 28chan, although there are few people who visit it in the current moment. Still, anything is far more worthwhile than 4chan.
35 ：
>>34 And the fact that 4chan is essentially "competition" is irrelevant, right? What a transparent motive.
36 ：
>>35 Yes, it is irrelevant. I do not care about 4chan. I have advertised myself on 4chan for a little while before realizing that it was a mistake.
37 ：
>>35 Additionally, I do not want the same audience 4chan has. 4chan is all retarded people. I intend to make 28chan full of non-retarded normal people. The set of retarded and non-retarded people are disjoint, and therefore there is no competition.
38 ：
The fact that you're advertising here at all is sort of... Well, it shouldn't be a proud moment for you.
39 ：
I am not trying to advertise 28chan. I was just informing that exists. I am simply telling people not to go to 4chan. 28chan was just a side-note.
40 ：
>I am not trying to advertise 28chan. I was just informing that exists. I sense obvious contradiction.
41 ：
I see no contradiction there. To advertise is to call attention to it. Mentioning that it exists as a side-note is far from calling attention to it.
42 ：
To simply mention it is to call attention to it, however.
43 ：
Actually, it is not really calling attention to it. It was just a statement of fact. Nowhere in the statement did I say to the reader, "please pay special attention to this sentence." As long as I have not urged any special attention, it is not advertising. Simply mentioning something is not to call for attention to it. You should know this already.
44 ：
>>33 I go to /a/, /g/, /jp/, /n/, and /r9k/. Those are my regular boards. Sometimes I'll check out what's happening on another board.
Do you use any special browsers to see 4chan everybody? I usually use IE but it's inconvenient...
47 ：
>>46 Firefox is more 4chan friendly. The tabbed browsing is better (unless you're using IE7), and there are a few 4chan Firefox extensions.
48 ：
4CHAN WAS HERE 2CHANNEL IS A LOSER
49 ：
Wuts wrong with /b/??!!
50 ：
I'm sorry about /b/, you guys. I feel responsible.
51 ：
>>36 >>34 for those here who don't know, 28chan is the laughing stock of the English imageboards. The admin is a joke, he advertises his site everywhere he goes and feels the constant need to remind both himself and everyone around him that he runs 28chan, which is really more of an embarrasment than an accomplishment. As for 4chan, this is moot's idea of a joke. It'd be funny if the server was-*gasp*-actually working.
52 ：
Some criminal posted e-mails of Sarah Palin. Is 4chan under investigation by FBI? It is very very scary.
53 ：
>52 4chan isn't under investigation, but the FBI is looking for the person who took her emails. Its a shame, if there were any interesting emails, it could have sabotaged her election. Ah well, at least now most of the news stations are talking about her using private email accounts for business purposes.
54 ：
Also, has the news in Japan been talking about Sarah Palin? There have been a lot of news stories here about how Palin's glasses are made in Japan, and that there has been a huge increase in their popularity.
55 ：

56 ：
LOL@28chan
57 ：
>>52 The FBI aren't in charge of the case; it's the Secret Service because of the possibility that Palin could become the Vice President. 4chan may or may not be under investigation. Who knows? 4chan has caused problems before, like threats of terrorism. I'm more worried about the cancer (DQN) we're going to get because of this.
58 ：
I agree with whoever who said that 4chan is full of retarded people. 2ch>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Koerarenaikabe>4ch

gaijin here, 4chan is seriously the worst English imageboard there is. Don't get me wrong, early on it was an awesome site. But it got too popular. now it's school children going for shock value. http://shii.org/2ch/ is a list of all the English imageboards. though most are dead or dying...
73 ：
>>72 Some boards are still struggling. NEET-fest that is /jp/ is still pretty hostile towards newcomers, and you almost don't see all this >implying shit that is plaguing other boards.
74 ：
>>73 >implying /jp/ is full of NEETs You haven't figured out that 90% of them are kids?
75 ：
>>74 Please don't teach the Japanese how to use ">implying".
I'm bored with 2ch cuz it has been almost dominated by nomalfags in last 3-4 years. I had found opportunities to discuss everything but now I can't.
82 ：
2ch as a source of information and entertainment is pretty much dead, there's not much you can do about it. Stupidity is fine as long as it's well scripted and delivered insightfully but none of them are really funny these days. VIP is a good example of the level 2ch has stooped down to - simply they are not fun to read, not at all anymore. But then there's no alternative to 2ch that could possibly fullfill the need. Twitter is good, but still.

wtf is going on, http://boards.4chan.org/b/ PUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDI
how can i search threads in 4chan? and i wanna use 4chan with Jane and BB2C...but can i?
86 ：
i thought 4chan is like 2ch but i found that's not
87 ：
>>85 no way to search unfortunately moot (the owner) claims adding a search or a catalog, like the one on futaba, would strain the servers too much there is an archive, but it doesn't log all of the boards: http://archive.easymodo.net/

Akina's nice short story Everybody and nice to meet you! I'm Akina. I'm an one's own pace, and the blog of daily life and the idea to which the photograph readily is suitably exchanged and written.

To my regret newsoku+ had been invaded by newfags such as Kage-no-Gundan and so on. They newfag officials make normalfag or ignorant news threads without any humour or otaku-oriented culture. It is completely diffent from 2ch culture which had used to be. I never want to read normalfag news in gossip magazine. or tabloid papers. Now 2ch decayed to tabloid and one otaku culture passed away. So I enjoy 4chan now.
90 ：
cool story bro
91 ：
>>85 But 4chan is way worse than 2ch. If you so much as mention anything Japan/Otaku related on boards outside /a/jp/ and very few other boards you get called a weeaboo. >>87 You could however get a greasemonkey script that searches some boards for you. But I'd avoid 4chan. It's mostly just a chaotic shitstorm of noise, reaction-pictures, and lame memes. Especially now that /b/a/v/ has stretched it's tendrils into all the other previously-ok boards. I fully agree with >>65
