Moot Sells 4chan To 2channel Founder Hiroyuki Nishimura

Posted by samzenpus on Monday September 21, 2015 @06:23AM from the your-problem-now dept.

An anonymous reader writes: A year after stepping down from the day-to-day running of the site following a mass user rebellion over moderation issues, Christopher 'moot' Poole has transferred ownership of the once nefarious 4Chan to 2channel founder Hiroyuki Nishimura. “Hiroyuki is literally the only person in the world with as much if not more experience than myself in running an anonymous, large destination community that serves tens of millions of people,” Mr. Poole said in an interview. “He’s the great-grandfather of all of this.”

  Or in the case of /f/, has a higher level of entry to post since you can only post flashes, and most of 4chans userbase are literal potatoes with hands and feet that don't even know how to save webpages, never mind flash files. Telling them how to view source files would be like hacking to them.
  Ever since the Anonymous days took over in 2006 as an actual movement and not a joke, the site fell to ruin.
  Moot can go on and on about how he made the site for anonymous discussion, but everyone who matters knows it is complete bullshit.
  He made it for IRC and forum buddies to hang out in. Nothing more. RIP Raspberry Heaven.

  The corruption in video game journalism isn't new. This is an industry where the only journalism published about it used to be by the console manufacturers themselves. The issue is that it never grew past it. Now we have private publishers taking underhanded deals from developers. The incident that coined the name GamerGate is just one of them.
  GamerGate is just a new name for an old problem. Gamers have been mad about poor video game journalism ethics for literally decades.
  It isn't a 4chan thing. It isn't a new thing. It isn't misogyny.
  It's here to stay. The issues that GamerGate highlights have excited since video games became a thing. Only two things are really novel about GamerGate: the name, and the tactic of smearing gamers as "misogynists" by those defending the status quo.

  Here's a basic summary of this guy and the events around 2ch:
  
  2014 2ch takeover incident
  -In 2012 the rights to 2ch were given to Jim at Racequeen Inc. Hiroyuki announces he is no longer the admin of 2ch, but still remains the defacto admin behind the curtains .
  -2ch ran a service where anons payed approx 35 US dollars so they could post on 2ch if they were banned or couldn’t post because of their ISP (similar to the 4chan pass)
  -this service helped pay for the server fees
  -August 2013, the service gets hacked. Those who registered to the service had their names, address, credit card numbers/security codes leaked. comment info was also leaked, people were able to search the 2ch archives and find out who posted what using the leaked comment info.
  -It was also discovered that Hiroyuki was sending other personal info of posters to companies outside of 2ch.net
  -After the hacking incident Hiroyuki is unable to pay for the server fees because the 2ch pass service was shutdown.
  -On April Fools day Hiroyuki announces that 2ch is being taken over.
  -The leader of the coup Jim fires the janitors, sizes down operations, upgrade the servers, and improve other things to accommodate the anons who were neglected under the Hiryoku administration.
  -Jim becomes the new admin of 2ch.net
  -Hiroyuki retaliates by creating a new anonymous message board 2ch.sc. 2ch.sc is just a clone of 2ch.net. It literally copies and pastes all the posts on 2ch.net to its message boards.
  2ch.sc allows thread simulator blogging (copy paste blogs) which have been a problem in the past and were outlawed on 2ch.net
  Why did hiroyuki create 2ch.sc ?
  Hiroyuki (Mirai Kensaku Brazil) had signed a contract with a data mining company named Hotlink and sold them the personal data / user comments from 2ch.net.
  -After the server take over by Jim, and the fact that Hiroyuki no longer had the rights to 2ch.net, he was no longer able to give the data mining company the data, so he created the clone 2ch.sc to fulfill Hotlinks contract.
  -Since it wasn’t a contract with Racequeen (Jim) , Jim stops the servers from sending the user comment data and other personal info to hotlinks servers. He also prevents hiroyuki’s 2ch.sc from copying comments by blocking its requests.
  -Anons of 2ch discovers that Hiroyuki also had money ties with the thread simulator bloggers who were racking thousands from PPC ads and advertising by laundering comments from 2ch
  Hiroyuki didn't just sell user information, he encouraged janitors to ban posters so they would purchase more passes to get around the bans, and he had certain political viewpoints censored and banned after being paid to do so.
  I can't imagine /pol/ existing for very long under Hiroyuki, and the already rampant viral/guerilla marketing taking place on /v/, /vg/, and /g/ is probably only going to get worse.

  Disclaimer: I was briefly involved in the management of 2ch.sc.
  This summary is at least unfair if not quite inaccurate. Hiroyuki's claim back then was that he paid a substantial amount of money to cover the costs of the servers, but Jim demanded more. Also, there is no evidence that Hiroyuki sold user data. He was just selling the right to use publicly available data for data-mining.
  It was rather sad to see that people are bashing Hiroyuki based mostly on FUD like this "summary." I lost much of my interest in anonymous discussion boards because they are full of paranoid thinking. I just wish Hiroyuki good luck.

  And it was also mismanaged at nearly every turn, like most popular websites, forgetting it was little more than a platform for its users. Moot started towards self-aggrandizement with the publicity 4chan got and killed off most things that made it great.
