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.
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.
Are you trying to deradicalize this retard?
I have also seen some users begining a fork on wikia.
Edit: cwc did not set this guy off, he may have gotten radicalized by something...
Nah.
We know Root is British, and are pretty certain he's Gen X. He's stated that he sees 1d4chan as immature and something that he enjoyed in his younger days but doesn't relate to now.
Root only did one action on CWC, and that was to delete the page. All subsequent maintenance on the page has been by the community to keep swatting down attempts to rebuild it.

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."
