(05:27:22) ‹Anikitan› and i have to keep ban requesting the stuff he posts
(05:27:33) ‹Anikitan› and then he complains to me on skype about the new janitor being an asshole
(05:27:48) ‹Anikitan› "maybe if you didn't shitpost as much..."
(05:27:53) ‹+VCR_Working› it's funny because nobody noticed the filename
(05:28:07) ‹Anikitan› "No, he's just an asshole, threads are always like this, if the janitor doesn't like it then he can leave"

(05:29:05) ‹+yournamehere› for shitposting
(05:29:18) ‹+yournamehere› its amusing when they complain
(05:29:31) ‹+yournamehere› FAGGOT MOD DOESN'T KNOW /sp/ CULTURE
(05:29:35) ‹Anikitan› lol
(05:30:07) ‹+VCR_Working› well the guy is pretty cool otherwise
(05:30:10) ‹+VCR_Working› tbh
[...]
(05:32:14) ‹+VCR_Working› he even applied to be a janitor for /v/
(05:32:42) ‹+VCR_Working› dunno if they went through his application or not, would be humourous if he did end up joining
(05:37:07) ‹Anikitan› ha

(06:15:54) ‹%kami`› I mean, don't target people who are obviously trying to get at you
[...]
(06:18:54) ‹Anikitan› well yeah i don't
(06:19:10) ‹Anikitan› that would be silly
(06:19:23) ‹Anikitan› it just so happens that some of the worst shitposters also don't like me
(06:19:46) ‹Anikitan› the others i leave free to dislike me however much they want

(09:18:47) ‹+WalterWhite› [11:15:47] <Wintermoot> damn 4chan X is spitting out errtos
(09:18:48) ‹+WalterWhite› [11:15:55] <Wintermoot> in other words moot updated 4chan!

(09:57:23) ‹%Katsurugi› how long have the servers been offline?
(09:58:18) ‹+WalterWhite› It's been up and down for an hour now, Katsurugi

(11:13:17) ‹+ATIWAB› >trying to relax at work, reading Forbes
(11:13:20) ‹+ATIWAB› >http://www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2012/10/18/how-4chans-chris-poole-runs-his-web-giant-on-a-shoestring/?utm_campaign=forbestwittersf&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social
(11:13:24) ‹+ATIWAB› >can't get away from this faggot
[...]
(11:22:32) ‹+AoC› ok, this article has glaring errors
(11:22:49) ‹+AoC› for one, the biggest DMCA offender board has threads that are months old
(11:23:25) ‹%Katsurugi› I think it's just taken from a talk he had
(11:23:36) ‹%Katsurugi› and they just kind of filled in the blanks where they felt like they needed to
(11:25:18) ‹+fsdfdsf› > It also doesnt archive its content
(11:25:23) ‹+fsdfdsf› hehehe
(11:25:35) ‹+WalterWhite› well
(11:25:53) ‹+fsdfdsf› No archive for /b/
(11:25:58) ‹+fsdfdsf› And a lot of the boards
(11:26:00) ‹+fsdfdsf› But some are
(11:27:23) ‹%Katsurugi› not first party archive mechanisms though
(11:27:25) ‹+AoC› it's not like fuuka is 4chan hosted, or even officially sponsored
(11:27:34) ‹+WalterWhite› yeh
(11:27:58) ‹+fsdfdsf› yea
(11:28:38) ‹+AoC› I'd say that what the article missed is the power that comes from a deeply invested userbase that is willing to come in droves to volunteer for no pay just to keep things running smoothly
(11:29:23) ‹+fsdfdsf› Indeed

(22:08:10) ‹+RapeApe9k› or maybe kami` could look into it
(22:08:32) ‹%kami`› hi
(22:08:51) ‹+RapeApe9k› kami`, i'm a janitor for /soc/ now, and i wanted to ask about getting a sticky
(22:09:24) ‹+RapeApe9k› just something to remind people of what's expected of them
[...]
(22:12:57) ‹+Aerolite› RapeApe9k: "read the rules"
(22:13:06) ‹+Aerolite› good guideline
(22:14:09) ‹+RapeApe9k› people are too lazy/stupid to go looking for the rules section
(22:14:25) ‹+RapeApe9k› if it's not right at the top of the page, they'll miss it. probably miss it even then.
