Moot Hands Over 4chan To Hiroyuki Nishimura, Founder Of 2chan

As of today, the creator of 4chan, Christopher Poole (AKA: Moot), has handed over the website's ownership to the original founder of 2chan, and the inspiration for the the creation of 4chan, Hiroyuki Nishimura.

 

Back in January, Moot had already announced he would step down as an administrator for the site, but today he really dropped the big news on everyone.

 

Could this revolutionize all of our dank memes?

Will the internet actually break?

All we can really do is keep shitposting and hope for the best.

 

What are your thoughts on the matter?

 

I can really see boards like /b/ and /pol/ getting hit hard, especially if Hiroyuki is looking at the site as a business more than anything. But I have hope since he is basically the godfather of image boards.

 

Hiroyuki will hold a Q&A on Tuesday around 8PM EST on /qa/

The dude pretty much founded anonymous imageboards. It doesn't seem very likely that he'll do anything bad to the website, it's not like it was handed over to Shinzo Abe or something.

In fact, the changes that are done to 4chan often don't change much of anything to the average user.
