It's down because the source code was dumped and all the vulnerabilities were exposed. It's incredibly old software that hasn't been maintained and it's doubtful there is anyone to fix it.

Lol. And what kind of people are on Soyjak, is that site more or less degenerated?

The only reason I could see to fork 4chan would be to be even more degenerate. So I guess that's a safe bet.

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago
