🪦 Deceased Fredrick Brennan / Hotwheels / ctrlcctrlv / copypaste / Psiĥedelisto - 8chan Founder Turned Anti-Kiwi Activist, Former Wizardchan Admin, Font Aficionado, Eugenicist

8chan was a wonderfully schizo mess and I still regret not archiving some of the smaller boards for pure content like /sudpol/, the board dedicated to figuring out Hortler in Antartica and his submarine directions. There was also /b2/ and how it almost, ALMOST worked if it meant being able to make a new /b/ just to piss off the mods there. Unfortunately that was around the time 8chan got nuked so we never got to see a /v2/ away from fat man Mark.
 
Patrick Tomlinson is once again so relatable and alogs even better than all of k-farms paid soldiers put together:
 
It's cringy in hindsight, but to teenage me, getting booted from 4chan felt like a genuine betrayal. Saying nigger "Free speech" was what set it apart from tumblr and reddit, so it was a point of pride for the community at the time. The mass bannings and censorship over something as innocous as Zoe Quinn's dirty laundry was so out of left field that a lot of people who were otherwise apathetic started to care about GG simply on principal.

Funnily enough, if you look at the content quality on 4chan today, it's pretty obvious most of those spurned users never came back after 8chan died. I had already moved here by the time Tarrant caused Cloudflare to nuke the site, and I know Mark Mann's new 8chan.moe absorbed at least a portion of the old site's userbase. Whatever Moot's reasoning was, banning GG was probably the biggest mistake he could have made long term.
I think a lot of 4chan users simply grew up and moved on from image boards.
 
Joined Keffals, Liz Fong-Jones, Ben Collins, etc. in DropKiwiFarms "to avenge Near", for one thing.
Yeah.

I'm not half as knowledgeable about the relevant drama as are others in this thread, but the short version is that he voluntarily chose to join those people and forces which tried to destroy what Null has built here.
 
Also, since he's dead, might as well repost the twitter spergout that included Hotwheels posting "When I die you are partially responsible." (archive and context should be around October 2 or 3, 2022):

I can't seem to find that video about how hotwheels got /pol/ and /v/ to declare war on /intl/
 
It's good to know I don't carry the gene net. Gives me the horrible genetic disorder that runs in my family. It's actually bad for Hot Wheels. He generally seemed. Like he just was dealt a shitty hand in life. Well, that's also no excuse to. Go scorched earth on everything you stood for. Hopefully find some peace in his death.
