    You could probably rebuild it in a short amount of time with fewer bugs. It doesn’t seem like that complex of an app.

    I have no idea how much money 4chan which would determine whether it’s worth the effort at all.

    From the bits of code I’ve seen in the leak the quality is pretty terrible.

      Spoiler alert: it’s not worth the effort.

      In recent years there have been some feeble attempts at monetisation, but it was probably a failure.

        Unless a cabal of billionaires secretly donates to keep it going.

        Under this administration, they might do it openly too. Declare it cultural heritage and get government funding.

          That’s not going to happen for lots of reasons. For a start, no way will the current US govt will spend any more money on bullshit such as “cultural heritage”.
