Serv pretending opchan works shortly before it crashes again.
This website is broken as shit.
It was started a few years ago when some idiot DDOS'd 4chan into the ether for a few days, so this dude Ben made Opchan so we'd have a place to go. That was cool.
Then after a while, 4chan came back up, and we realized that most of 4chan's /k/ was trolling, and teenagers being rage-inducing aspie fucktwats. We then realized that we could go to opchan, and escape all the fucktastic bullshit that came along with having a weapons board attached to 4chan.
It was really great. Our most experienced posters contributed a lot of things, some of the newer guys came along nicely and became great contributors, and we had really good content. It was moderated well, and people who acted like morons were banned. Eventually, long time posters became IRL friends, we began to meet up, trade gear, and help each other out. We had our heaven.
It didn't last. Ben didn't really give his mods any direction other than "ban anime", and none of them really wanted to be the dick that banned people for being immature twitshits and trolls. More and more 4chan users started coming over, we developed a terrible "summer problem", donations began suspiciously vanishing, one of our posters was accused of murder, and the dam broke. Opchan's traffic was huge, and the server shit on its' own head. Problems in the code led to 500 errors everywhere. Cries for Ben to do something for the community, to fix the problems, direct the admins with clear rules that would keep decorum, and tell us what happened to all the money we gave him may as well have been directed at a brick wall. A DDOS started for no reason. Ben, being the ever-caring admin he is, told everyone to go fuck themselves. The website went down.
As it stands now, Opchan is on life support. Most of its old users have created another chan to hang out at. Despite moving to a new server, uptime is spotty and the interface is busted. When and if it comes back, it's generally agreed that it's lost its draw, due to zero frauschlagen for moderation, tolerance of ignorance and trolls, and questionable use of donated funds. Ben is viewed as an uncaring and paranoid admin who doesn't really give a shit about the user base.
It's pretty much over. We're sure opchan itself will come back, but for anyone who's been there since the beginning, we know that opchan is dead. Pack it up in a box with Slavic Thunder, and burn it on a pyre in the open ocean. It was fun while it lasted.
Fuck you, Ben.
