Reposting the information I found from /g/ over here for long-term discussion and archival.
Site hasn't loaded for two days, and the site owner says that their hosting provider rebooted their server and "accidentally" suspended their account.

>>10153
Back up 2 days later.

down again...

come back lain :(

>>10207
what's your favorite color

>>10210
It would be rude to the other colors to say that I have a favorite. I am thankful to all of them! :)

>>10202
any more updates? i miss lainchan so much ;_;

Lainchan was a shithole. Got tired of having to learn their retarded newspeak to not trigger their ridiculous snowflake wordfilters.

lainchan admin is toxic
anything going wrong is just a consequence of his own actions

>>10264
>>10268
Can you cue in the uninformed?

>>10269
not those anons but lainchan has a number of words that trigger a "Go away, spammer" message. most are for specific spammers (like "anorectal" is banned because it was a favored word of the guy who is obsessed with spamming imageboards about the dangers of butt sex) but some of them are retarded chanspeak so some people who have 4chan brain worms get filtered.

lainchan mods also enforce rules 3 and 4 (Always argue in good faith and avoid using personal attacks, You should always elaborate on your opinions rather than just spilling the soykaf) which makes faggots who think every imageboard is for shitposting mad.

>>10153
probably another sharty raid lmao

its back online

>>10270
Using formal, standard English is enough to trigger their "uhmm your post is a fuarkin' wrongthinkerino and millions of troons will die if they read it so you're banned!" message. Nope it's not enough to speak normally, you need to know their specific retarded newspeak. Never again.

>>10273
down again. what are they doing over there?

working fine here

>>10269
Re
> lainchan admin is toxic
I hate how they never reply to questions or complaints on /q/

>newspeak
It writes itself. You guys are retarded and/or newfags, the "word enhancers" are intentionally sardonic. You soykafdrinkers should read a book.
>muh can't shitpost about my butthole on the internet or protesting an image of a video game character from the early 2000s
Go elsewhere for that shit, schizo.
>muh trannies
pretty sure half the staff doesn't give a fuck about mental illnesses or subjecting ourselves to them, and I know I don't. If you think otherwise, you're at least half retarded, go back to /g/
>why down
It's just hosting acting like niggers. We've got quite a bit pre-paid, we're fine. Wouldn't be shocked if it was because of the Epstein leaks but I doubt they'll let us know about that.
>bro admin is toxic
No idea what you are talking about dipshit, care to elaborate? :^)

>>10306
Kys yourself (short for kill yourself yourself)

>>10310
My continuity will absolutely surpass yours. get rekt kid. (That means I won, you lost, ggez no re, no cap, ong, frfr 100%emoji)

I always get worried when the site goes down , always have my fingers crossed it goes up. It has its own atmosphere that other image boards don't bring

>>10270
>which makes faggots who think every imageboard is for shitposting mad
Yet they never apply this rule to the christcuck that created a thread for literally spamming random bible verses and nothing else. While a perfectly normal thread where someone is elaborating in good faith gets the warning.

>>10319
they know the religious schizo can't be broken as easily, so they don't bother
and that the ones acting in good faith is more susceptible to bullying, which gives them a hard on

kalyx sold it, and appleman doesn't feel the culture and now we're in the pretentious soykaf space that we are right now.

>>10346
it's back bro

>>10347
aaand it's gone!

>>10359
It's back, but IRC is still down

>>10394
Couldn't even last a whole hour, what is the problem exactly....

Every time I see a new post saying the site is down here, I open it up and 100% of the time it is up.

>>10399
Doesn't work on my machine

>>10399
that's just because you have schizophrenia bro, take your fucking meds

>>10264
>waa waa I can't stand having my language enhanced
Incredible how thin peoples' skins are these days.

shill

>>10415
nigger shill

Considering the quality of posts that seethe about Lainchan here I think that the filters are filtering the correct people

>>10426
beg the question harder, shill
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question
>Drugs are illegal, so they must be bad for you. Therefore, we ought not legalize drugs, because they are bad for you.

so is it down permanently?

still working

as far as I can tell lainchan doesn't have a working IPv4 address any more, but does have working IPv7<\s>6. I can only connect to it on ISP's that aren't stuck in the dark ages.

>>10547
The irony that you pretentiously misunderstood what begging the question means, in a response to a post about how the lainchan filters filter morons. *chef's kiss*

>>10575
oh and then I reply with broken HTML formatting. Truely a comedy of errors.

>>10426
The nigger cattle will wear their shackles proudly, and ridicule anyone without their status symbol.

It's not hard to write a script to turn the words back. If you don't like the word filter, you can do that. I like them because they encourage people to articulate their thoughts better, and discourage pointless streams of coarse language. I have no problem with shit or fuck, but when I see a lot of them, the person is usually not making a point. Just venting, so using really emotive language. I avoid them because I do want to articulate myself well, and it's poor form to puff my chest and impose my thoughts with forceful words. We post online because we want to talk with other people, so we should aim to give our readers (our peers) a good reading experience.
Anyway, I think this month killed lainchan. It's been on and off constantly, but mostly off. All the boards have much lower post quantity and are less interesting.
