Question: what is the significance of /qa/, why was the board banned in the first place, and why did the hackers bring it back?

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

qa was my favourite 4chan board probably ever. it was a random board like /b/, but strictly SFW. so, they were the creatives of the site. the soyjak memes you see everywhere started there. they got into fights with other boards but it came to a boiling point when they raided 4chans LGBT board, and as a result qa was closed. they moved to another website. that website, or rather one of its users, then spent about a year navigating the very outdated freebsd from a decade ago running on 4chans servers until he was able to access the PHP admin panel, re-open /qa/, and then nuke all files on the server except the homepage. which itself now seems to return an SQL error.

Which site did qa migrate to?

[–] ilovepiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 hours ago

it's soyjak.party

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 hours ago

its a website referred to as the party, but im not saying the actual name due to the fact that it regularly gets spammed with csam and other violent things of the nature, its really a lawless land and its hosted in russia. its not hard to find if you look on twitter or something. even as someone who went on qa before, i have never wanted to step foot there, its not the same.

Start linking up 4chan IDs to real rich people like Musk or republican officials and watch trump start calling for the death penalty for the hacker.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It’s that incel elon musk starting all those facebook porn threads on /b/.

I think you guys have a weird idea of what 4chan is.

Did 4chan had usernames and so? Wasn't it's deal that ir was anonymous?

[–] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 3 points 29 minutes ago

Some of the boards use a system called tripcodes, which are essentially a username and password in one that are used when writing individual posts. It allows people to prove that they're the same person across multiple posts, without anything as identifying as a user profile attached.

The hacker known as 4chan hacked himself? 😮

[–] cyphear@lemm.ee 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Who is this anonymous and why does he keep talking to himself?

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Come over to Marblecake and I'll explain.
