And I too am angry at Hot Wheels for acting like a smug little cripple over this. Acting like some… Inspector Gadget villain, in his electric chair with his little dog…
Lawl
Claw had a cat tho.
You people seriously put any stock in to anything at all coming from that website?
How about we do things that make sense, like believing the people running the site until they give us a reason to cease trusting them.
If you read the article the source is the people running the site.
Tom Riedel, the head of NT Technology, which is the company associated with 8chan and the other ventures of “Gentleman Jim” Watkins, flew to Manila to meet with Hot Wheels, and told him that 8chan is permanently dead.
No way! It doesn't say that Ron or Jim said that, but someone else, who had lunch with a guy all of us have known was paid off or threatened for literally years now.
If your sources are seriously the former owner of full and some dudes at Stormer, I can't see how you could add much more to this position.
Yeah you're right I guess it's second-hand info. We'll see I guess.
Maybe it will come back as a P2P setup so it cannot be taken down easily. Hell a few small mirror servers to keep it going when the users are mostly gone would speed it up and provide storage for stuff that will be archived later on.
there is a user on voat who is making something like that, good guy
That would be sweet. A small part of me is holding out that all the secrecy might be because there is a new iteration coming, and not just because it's hard to admit publicly you're giving up.
I think they are taking it as a challenge to tech geeks to try and take down their site they'll make the site impossible to takedown or hard as fuck. I can't see 8chan rolling over and being submissive ever. These are insanely smart users that do not like to be told what to do or how to think so they'll spit in the face of the liberal tech groups and just do business as usual in a new way and laugh at the ones that pushed to take them down.
They are correct to fear the weaponized autistic trolls from the site. Only issue is the hydra reforms with a few more heads. The backlash attack from the /chans should be good.
All of this shit, based on something that never happened.
