>Meanwhile, Google continues to work hard to stay ahead, finding new and growing areas to expand into. Most recently the company has begun discussions to acquire the website 4chan which would bring with it a large user base.

So where you gonna go after joot sells 4chan?

Google wants every site.

Seriously, read Hacker News or something. They'll buy any start-up or popular site just for the sake of owning it. In fact it's a good way to make money: start a WEB 2.0 VENTURE, wait for Google to buy it from you.

Why does this rumor come up every few years?

moot is not going to sell the site. He has said this. He'd sooner just let it die.

He owns his own company now, and works with a separate angel investor group. This would make no sense whatsoever.

It's already happened. It went over to Google around the time ReCaptcha came in. They just haven't made it public because they don't want to face the backlash.

New janitor is actually a Google employee. He gets paid to make 4chan a more... "marketable" place.

I agree with the comments. Not only is it FAIL and LOL (and quite possibly FACEPALM!), but Mrs Notopoulos makes a good point with "GTFO".

Pretty soon, you're going to need a special Google ID to even get on the internet.

And then the jews will have done it. They will own the internet. Google has built an empire for their jewish overlords, so now no one can escape their greedy wrath.
