In the wake of the news of Fredrick Brennan's (8chan creator) passing, I was reminded that I too had some dream of creating an imageboard, but I never got around to it and I'm glad I did.

Basically, much like how 8chan was basically a fusion of Reddit and 4chan, my idea was a fusion of Twitter and 4chan, as in instead of boards, threads would be grouped via tags that anyone can create on the fly. The only rules would be to keep everything legal and all spam threads would be deleted. I never got around to it because of my limited knowledge of programming and servers at the time and I felt like my more progressive family members would disown me for creating such a site.

I'm glad I never created that site because I feel like most people who run community sites for niche and dissident audiences tend to regret it later in life and go down dark paths. Though, I'm not against such sites in principle, I just hope that if you create such a community that you are prepared for what you are getting into. At least Hot Wheels seemed to have enjoyed the final years of his life.

@xianc78 IIRC Hotwheels let the chomos use private boards with 20+ character hashes for names as long as they didn't shit up the rest of the site. His problem with the site was purely troll's remorse and spite towards Jim Watkins.
@mrsaturday @xianc78 the day i quit going on 8chan was the day i saw a bot post advertising (with images) a webcam show of a teenage group masturbation thing.

very cool website bro. (iirc jersh said that the jew that fredrick allowed onto his team was responsible for drip feeding cp shit, surprising nobody at all)

I always knew this tubby bag of shit was no good.
@chainsaw_appreciator @xianc78 @mrsaturday jersh said something about him begging fredrick not to ban loli shit, and that he always had a hand in that stuff proliferating the site.

@Nudhul @chainsaw_appreciator @mrsaturday Loli is legal in the US and the origin 8chan, up until it's rebranding allowed anything as long as it abide by US law.

The banning of loli on 8kun was part of the reason why Mark left to found 8moe.

It's in a weird gray area, like most things subject to the Miller Test. I know 3d depictions are illegal.
@mrsaturday @xianc78 it can be used to secure a warrant if authorities suspect you have even worse on your electronics
@Nudhul @xianc78 So can a judge in a bad mood, "probable cause" is in the eye of the beholder
