>soon you must pay to access archives

Cool, I didn't like the Internet anyway.

People were right. This gook is more money hungry than the average kike.
Wouldn't doubt he sold some user data already. Guess it's time to head over to fbichan

cuck

>never heard of 4plebs.org

Good, kill the archives. 3rd party archives still exist if you require it.

I thought they died

His site, his rules. Moot had emotional value staked in Sup Forums, he spent a lot of his own cash to keep this place running and when he got tired of it, pickings were slim. We're an extremely hard to please user base who won't spend money for a site most of us use 8+ hours a day (I'm here over 10 hours a day during the week, maybe 16-17 on the weekends).

What Goot is doing is typical, and I can't hold it against him. We demand so many features and up time yet the majority of us are against paying for anything. Sup Forums is huge and eats up a lot of server space, plus we're prone to uploading illegal content which makes companies not want to deal with us (both buying ads to put here and agreeing to serve us internet). While I don't believe the revenue situation is as bad as Goot makes it sound (and his complete inability to read or write English makes his messages ever more cryptic and confusing) but I know we can't go on forever the way we have been. Sup Forums will only get bigger and that means it's going to cost more and more.

Buying a pass is probably the best way to support Sup Forums. I've been here for over 10 years, browsing for hours and hours everyday. A $20 pass helps keep everything running, and the cost is so minimal it's not inconvenient. Goot making more and more features pay2play is kinda shitty, but I can't fault him for trying to make this place profitable in some way.

hes going full lowtax, you never go full lowtax

just type in "I am a cuck rape my face" because that will save you time and energy and you say basically the same thing

So Lowtax bought Sup Forums I see

fuck off gook moot

some guy donated $50k to him and he still bitches about how this site is running out of money

also how much money does he actually need?
he didnt even pay the mods and the staffs. as a matter of fact, i remembered a mod said they have to pay moot to keep the site running. like $100 a month for each mod or something

It's funny, I've been on this site for ages and not once have I used the archives

Fuck this yellow kike.

I have Sup Forums gold already
get a job neet scum

>mods pay to do work for gookymooty?
Thats some top level other universe cuck shit.

>some weeb faggot ran this website out of his mom's basement for over a decade
>some Jap buys it
>now it's apparently broke and you must pay to access basic features implemented over the original owner's time
Why are Japs such kikes?

Yeah but for those of us who get multiple bans a week it doesnt make sense

Remember don't give this man money or (you)'s

its a donation drive or something just in case the ad revenues weren't enough to keep the site up. some mods/staff/dev pay much more than $100

kinda weird how 9gag and reddit pays their staff and mods but Sup Forums dont despite all of them run ads

if it was still making enough money to be worth it I doubt he would have sold

...

Can't wait till you have to have a Sup Forums pass just to post.

That's the point though. It never really made money until the end of moot's career. He went like 20 grand into debt to keep this shit hole running back in like 2005-2008. Only after this place took off did he actually make anything back. Now this Jap kike buys it and charges fees for basic features and shit.

Shit, I've been here over a decade. Never once contributed to this hellhole despite it being my main website I visit. Only recently did I decide to support this place. Sup Forums Pass related. I remember moot making multiple posts about how he wants to keep to spirit of 2chan and not running invasive ads, charging for anything, even refusing willing donations, because it all went against his morals. Now look at the fucking news feed. Look at this shit. Fuck Hiroshimoot.

/vip/ exists and is a testing ground for that idea.

I'm expecting the site to go pass-only right after the election, it would be pretty funny and net Hiro a lot of money from people desperate to shitpost.

Can mods please stage a coup against Hiro already?

>vip
I forgot that board even exists. It looks like another fucking /r9k/ or /s4s/ board.

...

even jewmoot was better than nipmoot

Something Awful is happening.

>Sup Forums is huge
>a literal fucking text board with JPEGs and webms that all get deleted after awhile
what did he mean by this?

>We demand so many features and up time yet the majority of us are against paying for anything
The userbase has continually demanded the ability to donate.

Despite it being added he keeps trying to jew us. He's either lying about money problems or hilariously incompetent.

Only newfies could complain about a lack of archives

WHY
