www.4chan.org
(Link worksafe for the first time since 2003)
And nothing of value was lost.

Still,though, the rest of the internet needs to BRACE FOR IMPACT, because now theres a few thousand /b/tards with no home and a grudge.
I doubt NSG will feel much, being a forum and all, but those poor imageboards out there...well...
I guess I'll kinda miss 4chan. It occasionally was quite entertaining if you were willing to wade into the seas of fail and faggotry.

Transition Plan by moot - 12/9/07 @ 3:19PM EST

As you may have noticed, I have recently purchased 7chan from p4ch3c0. I'd like this to go as smoothly as possible in order to cause the least amount of drama. As you've probably read elsewhere, there will be a few new rules:

* We will take a much stricter stance on Child Pornography. This means that any picture, drawn or photographic, which is even remotely close to underage, will earn the user a permanent ban.
* The new *chan site will be primarily supported through the use of interstitial advertisements. Users attempting to bypass these advertisements will earn a permanent ban.
* The new *chan site will be designed to appeal to a broad and diverse user base. This means that people of all genders, nationalities, sexual orientations, and sexual preferences will be welcome. Intolerance of these lifestyles will result in a permanent ban.
* In accordance with the previous rule, users who have formerly been discouraged from frequenting 7chan will be embraced with open arms. Furries, Gaia Online users, and new Internet users will all be welcome, and each will have boards dedicated to their individual preferences.
* Also in accordance with the new rules I have filtered the term "newfag" so when typed and submitted it appears as "silly sausage" to prevent offence being caused to new Internet users.

Thank you for your support through these difficult times.

staus.4chan.org is dead too. As that is hosted on blogger.com it's fairly safe to say that 4chan's DNS server is dead.

It'll prolly get fixed after the weekend knowing Moot.

Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible.

Special Notice: Thank you to all of the individuals who have alerted us to the problems revolving around these sites. Sorry the investigation took so long to conclude; however, one individual in particular pointed out that this client was impersonating members of our managment team, even to the point of the domain registrations and online representation.

Glexia plans on working with any authority or court if prompted to on further investigation on this issue. Here at Glexia, we wish the best luck to the individuals at 4chan.org in recovering their domain (assuming it was indeed stolen, based off the number of abuse complaints we received)

Thank you for your time.

Glexia

Update (1:48:00 PM EST ~ 15/12/2007):

Glexia is in constant contact with Moot and other 4chan executives and we are working both with them and the FBI to resolve this situation as soon as possible.

And it'll be the internet equivalent of trying to find a new site for spent fuel rods and other radioactive matter. I don't exactly see a frantic bid to become the new hosts going on.

That's why a appreciate /b/, it seems to keep most of the /b/-tards away from everywhere else, and if they do go elsewhere they don't usually act up.
