Noone post ugly women on Wiki. NOONE.

I can shit post anywhere, and if Sup Forums dies, a million other options from thirsty neets will spring up.

Wiki's kind of unique by comparison.

im not paying for a site full of retards who ask me to donate to help pay for bandwidth then post everything in png.

nor pay for 90% copypastas

reddit is worse than Sup Forums though

I bought a pass. Thats basically donating.

that's what i meant but you are the minority

>how come you guys donate to wikipedia
Wait a minute. People here actually donate to Wikipedia?

Since when? Got any proof?

I donated $10 to Sup Forums.

I don't and won't do either

I will be unhappy if wikipedia dies
I do not give a shit about Sup Forums

nah

i upload PNG files just because I can

sometimes I'll upload a multiple-MB GIF with a reply, just to fill up server space

Three dollars is throw-away, ten is worth something. That and there's an element of Wikipedia being functionally worth something to the world at large. While I use Sup Forums quite a lot, I don't see it as a good thing, even discounting the boards I actively dislike. With those in the mix, you're asking me to support /mlp/, Sup Forums, /r9k/, Sup Forums and Sup Forums.

Someone suggest to /qa/ that we should have the option for 'allocating' funds to certain boards.

You like the free market, bitch? Put your money where your mouth is, etc

I don't trust hitoshimoot.
Just look at his /qa/ about malicious ads. He just plays smartass/shitpost/pretend not to understand English or plays innocent.

I can live without Sup Forums and I rather see SJWs pretend Sup Forums shutting down is their victory than being scammed by a shady guy.

because Sup Forums is shit

yet you spend 65% of your time here

> anonymous image board
> buys account

i found 60 second cooldowns unacceptable and i wanted to get rid of captcha for a while anyways

current retarded owner can't into english or any kind of communication

People here donate to Wikipedia? Since when?

Anyway, even if I could donate, I'd donate to them since they're doing a service to mankind - what is Sup Forums doing? Absolutely nothing. I'm not gonna fund it.

not everything in life needs to be about productivity. look at film and cinema and the arts. that's not productive but its entertaining and therefore we pay for it.

I have never paid for software in my entire life.

Wikipedia doesn't spam me with malicious adverts, regardless of whether i donate.

>we
I don't.

so you don't go to the cinemas? you are a minority then.

The Wikimedia Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and accordingly publishes its accounts publicly. wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Financial_reports

I'd like to see Hiroyuki Nishimura do that before he starts asking for donations, thankyouverymuch, especially considering he has (back when he ran 2ch) a widely-reported past history of being dishonest about funding - repeatedly dishonestly claiming the site was doing so badly that it was dying and needed more money (sound familiar?) - that was the main reason for him being booted out.

Evidence suggests he's doing the exact same thing here. The statement he posted to the Sup Forums blog is wildly misleading. He's not on AWS - probably the most expensive bandwidth provider outside of Australia! - but is on much cheaper discounted hosting in LA, and the recent is.Sup Forums.org is on OVH in Canada, who do not charge bandwidth caps at all but a flat fee.

He cropped the CloudFlare graph he posted to the Sup Forums blog down - that's no accident, because he cropped out the key and "Uncached Bandwidth". If you've ever run a CloudFlare site, you know that the BLUE line is the uncached bandwidth that goes to your backend - that's what you pay for. Not the orange line, as he tried to suggest. As you can see, it's a steady 25-30TB/day, so about 900TB/month. That's roughly the same amount of traffic Sup Forums had when moot ran it (and said it was financially stable).

So yeah, I don't give money to dishonest people, and now that he's put malicious ads on the site, the adblocker is staying on forever.

I also don't donate to Wikipedia, because the donation drives are annoying. I've donated to the Internet Archive, does that count?

so what's the current flat fee? 10k/mo?

Yes, but minority where? Anyway, the movies I want rarely get shown here. I don't want to watch Marvel movies, cartoon movies and other blockbusters - but sadly they're the only ones shown around here. We got Elysium and After Earth, but we didn't get the much better Interstellar. 50 Shades of Grey, but no Sicario.

I get that people go to cinemas for socializing purposes more than for the actual movies, but unless they start showing better movies I'm not going to pay a single eurocent.

But I am still equally Anonymous. You can't link me to any other posts. Sup Forums can link you to other posts through IP addresses and browser fingerprinting anyway. Nothing has changed except Sup Forums got some money and I don't have to deal with captchas and have shorter posting cooldowns.

>You can't link me to any other posts
Didn't 2ch have a massive userdata dump? Like those ooooold AOL search logs.

is.Sup Forums.org seems like it's probably an OVH FS-MAX, which costs a flat 330 USD/month, no matter how much bandwidth you use.

I know moot got a huge discount on his LA servers, and I'd speculate - not having any insider info - that he's probably spending about 7000-8000 USD/month there.

He's on the top tier of CloudFlare's plans - having talked to eastdakota and their security people at considerable length, I know he'll be being charged something along the lines of 5000 USD/month for that.

I'd estimate the whole operation coming in somewhere around 15000 USD/month outgoings.

Without seeing his accounts, I don't know what state that puts him in, but it's definitely not panic mode. I've run porn sites that have pushed more bandwidth than that.

Wikipedia is useful, if Sup Forums was dead it would only do good for me

wow you must live in a shit place fham. we get all the good ones you mentioned.

Why would you donate to Sup Forums? Hiro isn't losing money at all. Take a look and stop getting exploited:
youtu.be/6KFz9WRRNpk

i think Sup Forums should return to its roots and go back to being an online monster truck newsletter

you better respect him. Hiro inspired the creation of Sup Forums

You're a dumbass.
2ch=/=2chan (Futaba Channel)

I donated £10. I got more use out of wiki for coursework than I did out of my £400's worth of chemistry books over my bachelor's.

Not saying it's better but it's what I did by the way for convenience, before someone starts sperging out that wiki's not accurate

No, hiroshima created 2ch not futaba

>not dumping webms on /gif/
Fuck off leech

...

That's his game since day one, stupid
Most niggers fell for it feeling smug tho

HA HA YEAH THAT WACKY HIROSHIMA NAGASAKI SURE IS BAD AT INGLISH
>[sound of computer being compromised by Chinese gangster malware]
ha the funny man said he needs more money. dig deep fellas. i spend 16 hours a day here. i'm 45 and incel

Try reading a few words before the word you squared.

yeah. it still stands that if hiro was never born Sup Forums would not have come into existence.

You do realize it's deleted when the thread dies? Fucking mongoloid

Yeah but you also don't see us thanking Tesla that Sup Forums came into existence either.

Hirohito inspired the creation of Futaba, and Futaba inspired the creation of Sup Forums. Hirohito didn't inspire the creation of Sup Forums.

But i never donate to wikipedia

Because I hate Sup Forums

I would, if it was moot who asked. I don't trust the chink jew.

Do women need to shave to wear stuff like this?
I've seen women who only grow small patches of hair but that lingerie looks so deep in.

Yes you fucking virgin

Fuck off hiroshimoot. We are not falling for same trick you did on 2chan.
