Veeky Forums.... I miss moot :(

Veeky Forums.... I miss moot :(

did he ever post in Veeky Forums?

Don't think so, but considering he sold Veeky Forums out to Hiroshima I think we can consider him an honourary Veeky Forumsraeli.

>having oneitis for moot

He is a millionaire now with all the bitcoin from Veeky Forums passes.

>mfw his bitcoins at Mt. Gox.

fuck him i will never forgive him after what he did to /f/
/f/uck you moot

me too, man
this site is so bad now

stupid fuckin gamergate + fappening

I miss the old times.

2007 and i'm still a newfag.

Legt after pol harbor , fuckim. I like japmoot

waiting for the day moot reveals himself to be our lord and saviour satoshi

It's just you

He can’t help us now.

This. The (((moot))) fears the hiro

wait what are you saying changed? you mean the censorship increasing?

normies flooded it, although it's hardly moot's fault

Moot is the legend that created this Azerbaijani-American cattle rancher enthusiast interweb alleyway. How can you not love the faggot? Gook moot will never live up to his status.

Haha fuckin Hiroshima Nagasaki

That nip did 2ch and nicovideo. You have to respect that.

He was a SJW leftist fgt who hated Australians.

Good riddance.

i think this board is one of the few boards left on Veeky Forums that still have a resemblance of times before gamergate, except making autistic memes, we make money.

Those Chad facial aesthetics tho

I don't
he's the reason every board with more than 50 posters sucks balls

>selling Veeky Forums before /pol/ brought over half of r*ddit
Moot truly was a pink wojak, sold low bought high.

Bring back snacks!

Does he still do his stupid radio show btw?

We have our memes every now and then

Literally

He posted here and there at least. What the fuck does Hiro ever say? He don't give a shit.

I swear pol is full of old women now.

moot was a punk

I miss him more than anyone. I miss his sense of humor and the cool way he used to handle the site.

He understood Veeky Forums in ways nobody who has come here since he's left ever will.

>yfw moot throws a tantrum and shuts down /pol/ and /v/, two of his best performing boards, because they callled him a luggage lad
>he then decides to sell when it looks like Veeky Forums may very well get overtaken by 8gag and freddit breddit
>he also sold before election season, when /pol/ typically surges and brings in loads of users and ad revenue
Moot wasn't just a shitty admin whose last act was attempting to crash bane posting, he was also an awful businessman.

>middle aged housewives posting on Veeky Forums
What timeline is this

This. 2008 and still a newfag.

He was a kid in his 20s running a major website out of his basement operating at a loss for years. Give the guy a fucking break.

he understood it but never did anything conducive to keeping it healthy and in fact made a lot of decisions that only hastened its decay by creating safe space boards for outsiders, refusing to aggressively moderate bad behavior, but also banning any backseat moderation users engaged in to try to keep undesirables out

I appreciate his stance against moderation in general, his understanding for the need for anonymity online that still today almost nobody seems to understand, and his lack of censorship.

>refusing to aggressively moderate bad behavior
I think this is a very good thing.

The days of /b/ posting child porn to fuck with the mods were not a bad thing. It was much better than anything we have now but it's so impossible to ever recreate that atmosphere that I don't think anyone who wasn't a part of it will ever understand it.

I miss you too

>tfw moot replied to you in a thread and you screenshotted it for safekeeping

and i miss moon

like every fucking day

I know that feel

I don't give a fuck about CP. I'd love those days of unrepentant edginess and elitism to return. But his lukewarm attempts to stop /b/, /pol/ and /v/ from inviting half the internet back here completely failed and helped lead to the current state of things. The only thing keeping Veeky Forums decent was that outside perception it had as a sewage dump, however shallow and inaccurate it may have been. Instead we got /soc/. Elitism and thread bombing came to be discouraged and even banned.

alright I agree 100% with this.

I think I misunderstood your first comment. What you said here explains it really well.

>except making autistic memes, we make money
we do both actually

Gamergate just happened though, didn't it?

I actually think /f/ was the most resistant board in a sense to the kind of cancer that permeated other boards. It was and still is extremely cancerous but it had that charm to it for a while when other boards lost it.

blog post:
I came here as the summer-cancer of 2010, as a collective I'd say 'our' greatest fault was developing an insecurity complex from being called newfags in our process of learning board/chan culture, the over reaction was retards who after a month here would feel the need to assert their misguided belonging to the 'inside group' by expressing a we vs. them rhetoric such as vocally hating reddit and tumblr telling people to go back there. I someone tells you
>my secrit internet club
in response to your pathetic antagonism of all the rest of the internet chances are they're from pre-2010 and you're an idiot.
Fappening, Gamer Gate, KEKistanism were all destructive in bringing too much people too fast making their influence on the before them current user base larger than the opposite.
The single wort thing to have happened Veeky Forums however is the retardification of /pol/ and its leaking to all other major boards, many of you have no idea how sad that shit is in how much worse it's made Veeky Forums. Makes me miss 1 month elitists.

The secret Internet club meme and elitism was on Veeky Forums way, way before 2010 though.

Remember the fucking rage to Smiley?

I wouldn't remember anything pre 2010 cause I wasn't here but I'll take your word for it. I just know it got worse.

And hating 9fag and leddit was because they "stole" our memes because they did before they even knew what that word meant.

Shit like Doge and all the 2010 style "FUUUUUUUU" terrible comics that /b/ learned to make fun of actually came from Veeky Forums. All of that did. But leddit "stole" it and made them not funny because they didn't understand the morbid humor they had in the first place.

It feels extremely weird that the same image macro style memes with that 2 lines of meme font that was used to make 9/11, rape, and school shooter jokes in 2007 here is now something I have to see on billboards all around my city being used as advertisements by major corporations.
And none of them will ever know where it came from. "Lol check out this funny thing 'the Internet' made" used to mean something came out of Veeky Forums but they'll never know that because that's the way they were spread intentionally.

I get it's weird but do you explicitly dislike it?

Yeah. The elitism thing was summed up pretty perfectly by this guy and has stuck with me: Browsing this site used to be so difficult thanks to all the gore and unbelievably witty but horrible things you saw that you became insensitive to anything else in the world. Actual criminals and people with amazing things to say used to put complete faith in the anonymity of this place.

...

Every fucking post this guy makes is dead on.

Veeky Forums has been profitable since 2010, how do you think moot did those weekly trips to Europe and lived in NY?

Is it? I can't remember anything but him whining about server fees as justification for advertisements or something.

2channel, he didn't do 2chan
Still, hiro repeatedly scammed good userbase

Ok I get you.
I agree with pic.
I don't get being upset somebody else using the same meme format as you and the new pol I dislike is the genuine and outspoken hatred of what they deem degeneracy. I want to be able to call others and myself a fucking faggot without hearing a rant about how I'm destroying society by diverging from family values.

It is pretty fucking astounding this site still exists though.

Yeah he's said as much but also that all money he got from Veeky Forums got used in legal expenses at some time.

Just the concept that "memes" as a concept exists outside of Veeky Forums now, as it has for like 9 years I guess, is incredible to me. I never asked for side of me to start cropping up in real life in ways Veeky Forums doesn't control. The duck rolling meme appearing in the Macy's Day Parade was something Veeky Forums was funny and felt like something had been pushed by Veeky Forums into the mainstream as a joke. But it's not like that anymore.

These companies have no idea what they're doing or that the kind of fundamental "meme" idea that they all think was organically created by the Internet, since leddit and 9gag stole it and called it their own but with a no longer edgy twist, came from Veeky Forums. It wasn't leddit organically making "le funny memes" it was Veeky Forums and the mainstream somewhat "stealing" them. That's why it's kind of frustrating.

But I'm not supposed to take any of this so seriously or I lose the whole game. So to acknowledge how it "used to be" is laughable.

He always whined about money, but Veeky Forums was close to be profitable in 2009 according to a interview he did with Techcrunch, a few years later passes happened and the autistic Aussie hacked the site and leaked how successful they were
In 2010 moot frequently had announcements of trips to Europe looking to meet up with Veeky Forums users
That was straight up lying, Veeky Forums has never been in a lawsuit and it has always cooperated with LEA
He said he blew everything when The Fappening happened looking for just legal advice, but somehow he didn't blow anything when he testified in Federal court regarding the Sarah Palin email leaks/hacks

I remember the meet-up announcements. Guess you're right.

I can empathize

just kill me

We did it for the lulz, user. The gore, the hate, making fun of the crippled and self important, even the racism was for the lulz. It wasn't like, serious, ya know? Not like it is now.

Yeah, I know, I know...

I remember thinking everyone else is a fool for taking anything on the Internet seriously, when the police showed up at my house twice for guessing a bunch of people's facebook password recovery questions and changing the passwords.

I know it was.

>the police showed up at my house twice for guessing a bunch of people's facebook password recovery questions
top shit

Fake and gay
No old lady would use the words stickied and culture like they do.

Yeah the cop was impressed how I "hacked" something like 30 Facebook accounts from my school....
I messaged one girl from her own account asking for nudes if she wanted her password back. And then I tried to have a "deep" conversation with her about her sleeping around school or something. Well the next day she sarcastically sent the same questions I had asked to my real facebook account and the police came to my door. Wrote an apology letter and they let me go.

I was a weird kid lol

>Tfw you personally suggested Veeky Forums passes on /q/
>Thw moot stickied your thread
>Thw moot enacts your idea, with no VIP board and no special designation
>Tfw moot sells the board
>Tfw goot implements everything you fought against

None of you faggots know this feel because only I do.

Holy shit lol that was you?
Yeah that's awful.

fuck

Stand in the ashes of a million anonymous posts and ask the ghosts if honor matters.
