I honestly haven't paid attention to 8chan since like the first week or gamergate, and the only reason I paid attention to it was because (unlike 4chan) the source-code (4chan was futaba?) the imageboard "software"/source-code was available. I "nope"d out hard seeing how the place was gonna go, double-so with Gamergate.

In fact, I think the original 8chan code is still on Github.
