world4ch

This BBS is such a nice christmas gift.
What suprised me the most was that moot sounds so positive and happy on the frontpage. moot really must've wanted to do this for a long time, like he said. I'm happy for him that he finally got to start this megaBBS, and I hope "The Team" and all world4ch'ers will have a merry christmas this year.

So, what part did I miss then? Why didn't moot do it sooner? Resources? A text BBS doesn't need a large amount of bandwidth, CPU or HD. And the bandwidth is capped to boot. Not to mention 4chan always had very _few_ text boards until iichan decided to try adding some. Care to explain the sudden love for a large number of text boards?

I might be wrong, but frankly the timing makes me think that moot saw what 4-ch was attempting and decided that was the best exit strategy for 4chan. He may have had the idea earlier to try copying 2ch, but he never did a thing with it.

Until someone can show me logs otherwise, I believe that to be the most likely scenario. Occam's razor and all.

Which bring me to my final point: if I'm wrong, why didn't 4chan link to 4-ch? Is this some silly NIH syndrome or ego wankery?
