>>22888Sorry if it came out that way, wasn't my intention, just didn't know how to phrase it.
I mean I really don't think /vip/ is inherently that bad, if it stops at this, but Hiro has some strange ideas on how to make money and I really hope that at least some of the oldfag admins are able to handle him and steer him. If Shkreli (which we know now was rejected) was 100% super serious in buying and Hiro actually wanted to, I'd seriously hope they'd be able to tell him to fuck off and not pursue that. I don't like any of the scenarios he's suggested for making money, either.
But yeah, if /vip/ is where the buck stops and nothing more extreme is added, there's nothing bad. Just wish it didn't come in the context of Hiro saying that 4chan was in danger which I don't believe at all.
I'm totally with you though. I'm upset about things as well. I'm just in too deep now, I and many other people have been here for almost a decade (some longer) and I really just don't want to relocate, even to a somewhat suitable clone. We are here forever, after all. I really wish we got a transparent and open owner like moot who would just keep things chugging along like they always have been.
I don't blame moot for selling the site. He made it clear he was tired and wanted to step down. But I think he just was too tired and didn't take enough time vetting the people he was to sell to, including Hiro. On paper, it makes sense, but what we've seen so far hasn't been great. Doesn't fill me with confidence, but what can you do. It could be a lot worse, but the thing is, it could be a lot better too. Oh well.
