    moot sold 4chan before /pol/ was launched. It’s possible he didn’t want to play ball with Epstein and sold it for his safety though.

    My personal opinion was that it went down hill after the sale.

      no Moot left the site in Jan of 2015 and handed operation over to like a few 4chan mods while he was looking for a buyer. I remember his last Q&A on the site after the fact. /pol/ launched in 2011.

        Didn’t he play around with a /pol/ board, but shut it down quickly? I thought it was Hiroyuki that brought it back.
