    How hard did that site get fucked? I hear of platforms getting hacked but they’re usually back up by the time I get the news.

      The last I heard, the issue is that the person that maintained the code left, so it’s still on some super old version of PHP. So they need to upgrade the entire codebase to a modern version, which can be a very involved process. I could definitely be wrong though.

        I want 4chan to live to see another day so I can keep getting these greentexts. I’m thinking that they must be in some serious trouble if the site is still down…

          There’s no way they can use the existing code, or they will be hacked very quickly again, assuming it’s filled with vulnerabilities
