MOOT IS ABOUT TO SELL 4CHAN

TL;DR: a few months ago rolling stone published an article where it quoted moot confirming that he wanted to sell 4chan.
article: http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/features/4chans-overlord-christopher-poole-reveals-why-he-walked-away-20150313

quote: "He hopes to find a buyer for the site, a prospect that leaves one of the moderators anxious that the wrong overlord might step in."

what happened: Anons from mchan sent an email to moot pretending to be a buyer, using a spoofed address from a real company. Moot fuckin replied (there is a video recording of the email, not just an image) saying HE ALREADY HAS A BUYER AS OF JUNE 21 AND IS COMPLETING THE TRANSFER PROCESS AND THAT HE ASKS TO NOT DIVULGE THAT INFORMATION.

And who is the buyer? One of the companies that amongst other products, owns fucking GAWKER.

Join us, threads about his are being deleted on 4chan. Go to pic related and go to /b/.

In short

>Off topic / On topic system allows total freedom of speech AND organized boards, almost paradoxically. But it works, you have to browse to see

>You can make your own boards. The chan founder features the 'official' chans on the front page

>the chan founder said he is rich and if the chan gets popular he can pay for the servers

Moot getting BTFO

This concludes the presentation. At this point you are hyped enough that you will be there when that countdown timer reaches zero
