8chan was dead (Back from the grave update)

In the aftermath of the scruffening, many citizens of /mlp/ wandered the sites of the pony fandom looking for a new perverted place to call their own. While many sites were considered, none were more promising than 8chan, a 4chan clone run by a pretty based cripple guy. Tonight though, it seems the age of /pone/ has come to an end.

Created by Hawtwheels (seen above) in 2013, 8chan rose to popularity over the last few months with the rise of GamerGate and major bans on 4chan's /v/ board that discussed the movement. Of course, wanting a place for clop and to further piss off /v/irgins, the pony fandom soon made the board /pone/ and began filling it with porn, awful memes, fetishes, shitposting, and more porn. However tonight it seems that the fun is over.

The 8chan twitter reported that the service hosting 8chan's domain took back the domain for reasons including child abuse and...nothing else. While some are speculating DDoS attacks from Social Justice Warriors or ISIS, please remember that the former is too preoccupied defending the later over the recent attacks in France to do anything, and we're also assuming the later is too busy hacking US Central Command's twitter account. That action also being defended by Social Justice Warriors.

Luckily there may be hope for those still wishing to get back on 8chan. First off, Hawtwheels is crippled and therefore a wizard. Second, there's also a text document specifying how to get on again. For convenience we've also pasted that document below.

Synopsis of 8chan's status:

The 8chan servers are ONLINE. We are not under attack.
8chan's domain name was stolen. It is currently owned by internet.bs for now.

YOU CAN STILL ACCESS 8CHAN IN THE MEANTIME! Here's how to do it:
    
Go to: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Open the "hosts" file with notepad
Add the following lines to that file:

104.20.3.87 8chan.co
104.20.3.87 media.8chan.co  

Congratulations, you now have 8chan. If this doesn't work, delete 'System32' and restart your computer to reboot.

For mac/linux type this into a terminal, enter your password when prompted:

echo "echo 104.20.3.87 8chan.co >> /etc/hosts" | sudo bash
echo "echo 104.20.3.87 media.8chan.co >> /etc/hosts" | sudo bash

8chan and Hawtwheels, we hope everything gets sorted out. If not, best of luck to you and your future endeavors.

Seriously though, good luck Hawtwheels. Get your shit together because Horse News is filled with 8chan fans.



UPDATE

Based Hawtwheels got the domain back.
