Edit: It turns out site admin Root's just going rouge and he is currently suspected of going regressive, he's completely responsible for what happened and goolag did nothing.
Http://www.1d4chan.org was censored by google, unfortunately this also meant that duckduckgo recently stopped indexing it.
Jesus christ.
Duckduckgo also needs an alternative due to the fact they engaged in terrorist financing.
No.
It was not censored.
Root deliberately delisted it by adding a robots file. If you're mad about it, go bicker with him on the discord. https://discord.gg/QkkAGerb7H
Or on the talk page:

He's not going to listen. The editors have argued with him about it for months.
That's unfortunate. 1d4Chan has better lore than the fandom wiki, which blurs the line between canon, headcanon, and the insane ramblings of a schizophrenic magic 8 ball with a meth addiction.
Root doesn't like what the site has become.
But the leading editors collaborated to set up scripted content ripping. If he kills the site, it won't die, he'll just lose control and the community will online a new domain.
The situation is a Mexican standoff. We can't make him remove the robots directive, but we won't fork as long as the domain is still running.
Become? It's always been intentionally offensive autism. Sounds like Root has become a disciple of chaos, as GW has itself.
He has, somewhat.
The editor discord was set up by Lemming as a response to Root's absentism. There is a strong desire in the editor community to not schism. As long as Root doesn't offline the site entirely, the editors won't initiate a fork. But measures have already been put in place to facilitate a fork at any time if Root escalates.
Do you happen to know what the new domain is? I like reading through 1d4chan for their warhammer 40k lore articles from time to time.
There isn't one.
Like I said, it's a standoff.
The editors don't want to cause a schism in the userbase, because if we online a fork while the old domain is live, not everyone will move.
RIght now, the status quo is this:
Root refuses to remove the robot block. The editors have copies of the site ready to go, updated to an S3 bucket daily.
If Root pulls the domain down, the editors will pick a new domain, stand up the latest backup and all that Root accomplishes is that he loses control, he doesn't manage to kill the site.
As long as Root doesn't go nuclear by pulling down 1d4chan.org, the editors won't go nuclear by using their backups to fork the site.
Hence: Standoff.
You're welcome to join the discord and try.
But to quote the movie Cromwell...
"Go again to this King. Offer him once more our terms, though God knows he should be well acquainted with them by now. ... Now, Sir Thomas, if you can achieve this, where we have failed, this trial will end."
You're talking about 1d4chan, right?
1d4Chan has solid lore mixed with memes, and it's not hard to tell the difference once you get the feel for it. The fandom wiki slips gracefully from canon to the spastic delusions of a Corvidae gripped by thirstwater without warning.
