securitybreach Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Wow!!! Moot left 4chan "I founded 4chan eleven and a half years ago at the age of 15, and after more than a decade of service, I've decided it's time for me to move on....." https://www.4chan.org/news?all#118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to an interview with him in 2012, he doesn't: 4chan has no full-time employees, no developers or system administrators, which means Poole and a part-time developer manage a site that continues to get upwards of 20 million visitors a month, by themselves. “It doesn’t really make money,” Poole says at the Web Summit in Dublin, Ireland, clad in his traditional garb of dark grey hoodie and lighter-grey t-shirt. 4chan has no venture capital investors, either http://www.forbes.co...n-a-shoestring/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 With the traffic that site gets, can you imagine the ad revenue he could have made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I do not know what kind of company would want to support 4chan. I mean it is 4chan.... You definitely would not want your company targeted... That and I do not think it would of become what it has if he would of went that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 You're probably right on both counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
