Let's see if my memory is correct.
m00t, aka Christopher Poole, created 4chan when he was 15 as a place to anonymously discuss anime. It was essentially a ripoff of the Japanese Futaba Channel. He advertised 4chan on Something Awful, where most of the original users came from. 4chan quickly blew up way larger than m00t had anticipated. As the userbase grew, people inevitably went off-topic more and more, so m00t created /b/ and the rest of the boards. m00t came to hate what 4chan became, and was very vocal about this. 4chan was a load of trouble that he hadn't asked for. He just wanted a little corner of the internet where he could talk about asian cartoons with like-minded individuals, but of course it mutated into the cesspool we all know. How would you feel? I'd imagine that m00t jumped at the opportunity to sell the site when it got as bad as it was. I can't really blame him, honestly. There are rumors that he was forced to give up his site because of the SJWs or the FBI, but I don't think he needed any incentive. He was tired of it, and had been for many years. He was ready to live his own life. m00t's abandonment of 4chan definitely led to a decrease in quality on the management side of the site, but it was only in response to the decline of the anons. I don't know where m00t is now. I doubt anybody does, or it'd be common knowledge. But I'd wager that he's a lot happier now. And I'd bet that he wishes he'd never made 4chan in the first place.
I can't imagine carrying a site like 4chan from the age of 15. It's astounding m00t did it for as long as he did. But he had his limits, like anyone. If 22chan ever does pick up, I hope Twoot is ready. I don't mean to be a downer, but he could be in for a long and difficult ride.

>>930He actually got picked up by Google to work on the Hangouts Feature since it was kind of dead and they assumed him some kind of magicman for bringing people online together.
Different drawfags from /ic/, /a/, (And /jp/ by extension since they're mostly the same people.) /tg/ and even /mlp/ hopped on that ride and we'd often draw together. Sometimes we brought /soc/ in to pose for us in a side hangout in return for free portraits, but I never saw anyone from other board drawthreads. Anyways before I go too off topic we used it because of it's privacy (compared to streaming on Twitch or something) and group screensharing feature where we would spot others and watch each other draw. Also teach others new things if we picked it up. It also completely free where you had to bend over backwards or shill money to do it anywhere else. You'd just follow a link and you'd be good to go. It was great, but not perfect. We asked for a noise gate and a way to ban people and in return they took out features. Including volume control. There was a textchat but we were drawing so voice was kind of necessary. That plus the new shittier UI was the straw on the camel's back. Hangouts was announced to be closed soon. This year or early next year. All I have from the ride are some caps of old funposts.
I'd wager Moot also got the boot, unless he had the sense to move onto other things in the company.

It can be quite great. It's just obnoxious that it spills onto other boards and permeates the "culture" these days.yuki.la has thousands of post of moots from 2008 to 2014 when he left. the userbase turned against him in 2010 and it became a downhill slope from there. he talked about hating all the shit we hate, and he couldnt exactly do anything about it. then late 2010 he got contacted by the fbi and he had to let them monitor the site, then he made 4chan passes because people ASKED for that exact thing: a way to pay moot (even though he really didnt need or want the money, and get something better then 4chanX) they literally asked for it word for word and he built it that way, and people went nuts "FUCK YOU MOOT JEW JEW KIKE MONEY HUNGRY NIGGER FUCK YOU"

>I keep seeing A Wyatt Man cartoons everywhere in your threads and outside them, why the double standard?moot
>Because of morons who cry "OMG MUH FREE SPEECH ON UR PRIVATE WEBSIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! U R CENSORING ME!!!!!!!!!!" It's just as much of a problem as the bronies though. /mlp/ shit spilling out of /mlp/ and /pol/ shit spilling out of /pol/ -- what's the difference? The same could be said about any other board.His personal life degraded, and he did hemorage alot of money, and still stayed afloat somegow. he met nice 4channers irl, but every time he did it turns out they where ex users, and left because it was "becoming dissapointing''. people wanted porn in the non porn board constantly, they thought "/b/ was for shitposting (even though it was against the rules as far back as 2008) and when they got banned they went nut. and yes, /b/ became shit around 2012 when the same fbgf porn, ylyl threads became reposted and ghe really coyldnt do anything about it. ironic how the random board stopped becoming random. only one time a janitor was power hungry and got kicked because of it, but it left the perception that "all jannies abuse power mods are lazy fucks" and next thing you know, well you get the idea.
moot didnt realise the issues with underage b&s, redditors, newfags and normalfags but he really hated 9gag and shitposters.
and no, he liked pol, but it became annoying when it generated too much drama, and culture it's hemmoraging on to other boards. he wanted it to not be moderated too much but users kept posting too much porn, and le dank maymays
shit fell apart around 2009 from the looks of it, but its more accurate to say

>>1695>The problem then becomes the person he sold 4chink to, that being gookmootTo give credit where credit's due, if it wasn't for goot moving servers to France, 4chinz would probably be dead right now. As an owner he's doing just fine. There'd also be a lot more attacks and hit pieces wrote on 4chan if the owner wasn't Asian, so that's why the media tends to shift their attention to pseudo groups like "the alt right" or the "anonymous" LARP kirtaner and his IRC goons started on a whim. It's easy to start an imageboard with preexisting software written for it, but actually treating it daily so it can withstand the test of time is an entirely different ballgame. What makes 4chan unique is that it's size and impressionable userbase makes spreading new memes incredibly easy. All it takes is either a.) a friend group to help spam or b.) set up a few proxies and go ham until your meme catches on, ironically or not. 4chan users pin the sites general shittiness on gookmoot too much. The fact that so many trolls and actual moralfags post on 4chan makes the site that much worse. If you have a site with no filter, it becomes so desensitized that the users of the site actually have to come up with new, weird ways to shock people, and in general the inhabitants of the board mutate, and go deeper down the rabbit hole.
