So is Developer Rape Ape, or is he the Manager?

I assume this implies it was the dev who made the most and not the original longcat meme.

I doubt rapeape knows how to code.

I've heard tell of a developer who has been around since ~2004 and still helps out. When moot
said in 2015 there was someone he'd thought about giving 4chan to, but the recipient wasn't
interested in ownership, I suppose it was this longtime developer.

>> September 20 - The cat behind one of 2chan/4chan's earliest memes, Longcat, dies of
respiratory failure as confirmed by the owner on Twitter. /b/, /an/, /f/ and /s4s/ all get
stickies. The /b/ thread is made and stickied by Hiro himself.

if it's a wiki wouldn't it be better to try and edit it yourself instead of making a /qa/ post?
or contact people that can edit it?

turning down ownership, damn. i guess it comes with some liability stress but still. steady
income for the rest of your life from the ad revenue.

The ad money probably isn't that great and no one buys passes. moot was frugal with money he made
off of 4chan which is the only reason it survived the legal fees incurred from the fappening.

God imagine how things would have gone if he took control of 4chan instead of Hiro. Maby they
would be better?

people not in the know greatly overestimates what server bandwidth costs these days (or 5 years
ago).
and 4chan is large enough to sell customized self-serve ads that don't get picked up by
generalized adblocker rules

Really depends on if he dumped Rape Ape and before he could implement his laissez faire and radio
silence bullshit and instead went with someone like Modcat who believed in transparency and a
steady hand.
If this were 10 years ago, pepe and wojak would have been exterminated by moot and the mods for
how cancerous they've become.
