"We're using it during the beta period to handle invites and authenticate users (make sure they're real people)."
"As we've said before, Facebook Connect on Canvas is temporary. We're only planning to use it for the private beta period, and hope to see you on the site once we're out of beta. Thanks for bearing with us!"
Q: How many people does 4chan employ? A: None. It's just me, a volunteer part-time developer, and a handful of volunteer moderators and janitors. The volunteers all do an incredible job, and don't get nearly enough credit for their hard work. Hats off to them! That reminded me of several extended IM logs between moot and a server admin/scripter. Suffice it to say that they both come out sounding like total douchebags…
Interesting. His responses are far more down-to-earth than I would have expected them to be. One funny comment: > I'm not sure where else people meet women Spoken like a true /b/tard.

Some of his answers cover this concern ( http://www.reddit.com/user/moot ): "We're using it during the beta period to handle invites and authenticate users (make sure they're real people)."

Worth noting the conversation you're referencing was from six years ago when I was 17. A lot has changed since then!
I didn't want to be one to pester in his AMA but I still have no clue about what he's up to with canv.as. Aside from providing a meeting place to internet vigilantes and meme spammers, his track record isn't that stellar in either technology or monetizations. I'm also unable to overlook the recent developments in the image-sharing space with Path and Color valued into the tens of millions with anywhere from $11M to $…
It might sound old school, but we're waiting until we can show success with a seed round before raising an A or B round!

Point taken. I know I'm sure glad things from when I was 17 aren't still on the Internet. I had no idea it was that old, I first read it a month ago. Good luck with your new endeavors.
I can't believe people still think his name is Christopher Poole. This has got to be the longest-running joke turned gospel on the Internet. Either that, or that thing about Glen Beck killing and raping a young girl in 1990, except people actually _know_/tounge-in-cheek that one.
I also have a picture of him walking my dog.
Wow, he's had a reddit account for 5 years. That's pretty insane, especially since reddit wasn't big at all in those days. It's funny that people keep commenting that reddit's becoming 4chan, when in fact moot was probably one of the first redditors.
