4chan Undergoing Major Revision, Getting Public API

Posted by timothy on Sunday September 9, 2012 @06:28AM from the waiting-on-the-verticals dept.

AdmiralXyz writes "Even the darkest corners of the internet aren't immune to the Web 2.0 boom: BoingBoing reports that 4chan is working on the largest codebase update in its history. The new 4chan will include as standard the functionality of popular browser plugins for using the site, as well as a JSON API so- hooray?- anyone can have immediate access to the contents of 4chan for any purpose they like. This represents a significant update to the heretofore haphazard development process of 4chan, and opens up the possibility of third-party 4chan apps... though probably not on the App Store."

  What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little fucker? Iâ(TM)ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and Iâ(TM)ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and Iâ(TM)m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Youâ(TM)re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and thatâ(TM)s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your little miserable life off the face of the continent, you little fuck. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little âoecleverâ comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you could have held your fucking tongue. But you couldnâ(TM)t, you didnâ(TM)t, and now youâ(TM)re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. Youâ(TM)re fucking dead, kiddo.

  I'll kick your ass faggot. You think you're tough? lets see how tough you are with a couple rounds from my .45 lodged in your skull. Kinda hard to talk shit when I've blown half your face off. You better watch yourself faggots, I work for the fucking CIA, if I want you dead, you are dead. Its that fucking simple. Watch your god damned fucking mouth. I have over 30 years military training, I would rip your spine out while raping your fucking mother up her dried up old skanky cunt. I would then proceed to bundle up what remains of your body and shove my 12 inch cock down your throat and skull fuck you till my cum oozes from every hole in your body. Watch your fucking back. I'm coming for you.

  listen you cunt, i cant call you fat but i can definitely call you a cunt because you're being one.
  you are a fucking pathetic little faggot bitch, and i want you to come to my house and spew the same bullshit you post in here to my face.
  oh wait,i dont need to worry about you coming to my house because you would never do it. youll just continue to sit behind a fucking computer screen and act like fucking mike tyson to every guy you meet, when in reality you are a fat virgin neckbeard loser with cheeto dust in his beard and a pillow with a hole in it that you fuck every night
  seriously, its so god damn pathetic to just watch people like you. like, i want to try to be angry at you, but honestly i just want to be your friend out of pity because i know you dont have any besides the friends on your wow account.
  you should honestly just draft up a suicide note right now and continue adding to it every day little by little as the failures of your life pile up day after day and you wil finally have an entire book worth of your failures and can finally kill yourself and make your family and online friends happy.
  of course, you would probably fuck it up and miss your brain stem so you have to shoot yourself in the head 2-3 times while in agony to go out like a wounded dog, or you will try to mix bleach and ammonia but the room will be a bit too ventilated so you weel literally feel the chlorine gas burning away the lining of your lungs and suffer in horrific, unfathomable agony for 5 minutes as you literally burn and melt from the inside out after you start vomiting up your own lungs and liquefied lung begins pouring out of your nose and you slowly suffocate to death.

  fuck you, ive raped people for far less than this. you think you can fucking come on OT and just act like a fucking hardass and order people around? Bad news for you, fuckface, but tonights the night your luck runs out. You fucking tell ANYBODY on these forums what to do again, and you're going to find out the hard way what a fucking baseball bat to the side of the skull feels like. Think I'm fucking kidding? I have your IP, I know who you are, and Im more than willing to settle this argument face to fucking face. You call yourself "Hooligan"? We'll see who's the hooligan when one of us is lying face down in a pile of their own blood, shit, and piss. Try and order someone else on here around, and see what fucking happens to you. I'm normally a calm guy but when I need to, I'm willing to break some fucking face to get my point across, just fucking test me you worthless sack of excrement.

  you feel like punching me in the face? bring it on you faggot. I know multiple fighting styles, and I also carry a switchblade with me at all times. Something fucking tells me that you'd be better off keeping your arms down at your sides. If you can't fucking put "cause" and "effect" together in that pathetic brain of yours, I'll help you out here. You'll be standing face to face with me, and let me fucking tell you, it'll already be too fucking late to back down at that point. You might decide "well shit, I might as well stay true to my word and throw a fucking punch". This is where you will go wrong. I hope you don't have a job that requires two fucking hands, because you're going to be missing one after I'm done with you. I'll casually divert your fist off to the side, as you suddenly realize you may have gotten yourself into something you can't back up. You'll try to regroup and pull your arm back, but that wont be easy when I jab my spear-pointed Benchmade switchblade straight through the bone in your forearm, and proceed to rip your entire fucking forearm and hand off in one quick pull. At this point, you'll probably spend 2 seconds in shock. I say 2 seconds, because thats the amount of time you'll have before I reverse the knife in my hand, and uppercut it straight through your throat. You'll spend your last few seconds gurgling blood, and wondering where you went wrong. After that, I'll be forced to take care of any witnesses who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nothing a few quick choke slams can't fix, followed by a nice gentle slice across the jugular with the Benchmade.
  
  Now, motherfucker, you sure you want to go through with that punch?

You had better pray to fucking christ I don't find out where you live, or you might find out what a 12 gauge to the face feels like, you fucking bitch.

Ok, I'm a nerd...but...people in Slashdot, at least have something interesting to discuss, like world peace, new chips, new technology, new innovations...etc.
I agree. I think this article should be removed, since some other article is clearly blocked from being published due to its presence. Worse still, approximately 762k of disk space and a mind numbing 3 million bits of data have been absurdly wasted on this catastrophe of a submission. My eyes are bleeding just imagining the horror. What were the editors thinking? Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go comment on some more interesting article on a real tech web site (like Kuro5hin), before recompiling my kernel.

I was mongling some cocks late one night
When my eyes beheld an awesome sight
All the tripfags' cocks began to rise
And suddenly, to my surprise
They did the mash
They did the 4chan mash
The 4chan mash
It was an internet smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the 4chan mash
Leonidas!
From thermopylae where i fought so well
To my restaurant in the depths of hell
This is SPARTAAAAAAAA! I cried to my men
But the Persians all formed up and then
They did the mash
They did the 4chan mash
The 4chan mash
It was an internet smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the 4chan mash
Raptor Jesus!
The Admins were dropping' bans
They party had just been vanned
The guests included Slowpoke,
Magic- and Rabbit-chans.
Pedobear!
The scene was rockin' when some loli came in
I wanted to commit a deadly sin
They party van had just arrived
But, though i was sure they weren't here to jive,
They did the mash
They did the 4chan mash
The 4chan mash
It was an internet smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the 4chan mash
Moot!
THEN OUT FROM THE SHADOWS, MOOT'S VOICE DID RING
SEEMS HE WAS TROUBLED BY JUST ONE THING
AS THE TROLLS AND GAIAFAGS QUICKLY MADE TRACKS
"B&!", HE PROCLAIMED, "GET OUT OF HERE, SNACKS!"
SNACKS... DID THE MASH
HE DID THE 4CHAN MASH

IT WAS AN INTERNET SMASH
HE DID THE MASH
IT CAUGHT ON IN A FLASH
HE DID THE MASH
