I did not get the impression that there will be new "owners," per se.
In any case, moot has in the past attempted to make 4chan more people-friendly for the very good reason that when something especially bad happens on the site, it's moot that gets dragged in to talk about it in court. That website has been lucky to have him. Unfortunately. Because without competent leadership it probably wouldn't still exist, which would be great.
I'd heard he wanted to make it profitable. Not just cam-whore banner-ad profitable, but a legit social media site, the route of twitter, facebook, etc. Here's where I'd make a list of the issues in facilitating that kind of a transition, but I don't really know where to start.
Right? It's cracking me up that the only actual news source of 4chan is 4chan, which doesn't bode well for truth in general. But yeah, he provided (past tense???) an actual service. Unfortunately, the very nature of this service has been proven unprofitable, right? The real question is "When will mk accept my money?"(again, I think)
