I feel bad for moot. He'll probably be known for the rest of his life for creating a cesspool he never made much money from.

Disagree. 4chan is great and important. It shaped the Internet we know today in so many great ways, and in a few cautionary ways as well. Moot should be proud.

Can you be more specific? What are you talking about?
A lot of 4chan users got upset when moot banned gamergate, the thinly-disguised harassment campaign. Since gamergate characterises any opposition to it whatsoever as being from 'SJWs', 4chan mods are thus 'SJWs'.
I mean it's pretty easy to see what camp you fall into, and you're basically ascribing a very shallow set of beliefs to an entire group of people - the exact same thing you're accusing that group of doing. Without knowing anything going on with the other side, I could see why people would get upset with that.

I am curious, could you think of some examples of the great ways it influenced the internet?
I don't know if this is "great" as in implying a positive value judgment, but it is great in magnitude.

The influence is not on the technical side of things, but more to do with shaping internet culture.

Hiroyuki Nishimura the previous administrator of 2ch.net sold the user data of 2channel users and he was fired by Jim, who happens to be the host of 8ch.net. Sweet sweet irony.
This is the guy who runs 2ch/8ch https://twitter.com/xerxeswatkins

> the thinly-disguised harassment campaign I am not convinced that repeating a lie a thousand times will make this claim the truth. The propaganda may have worked well back when gamergate was completely unknown to the general public, but we are past that, I think.
