Not really. A lot of the mods were current or former FYAG/FYAD posters. Only a few were banned, and the big anime witch hunts came much later. Raspberry Heaven was kind of a splinter from the semi-official SADCHUB. Lowtax never had any influence on either. RH and ADTRW actually both had their own off-SA fora created to avoid the overall SA attitude, though neither was used much. When moot created 4chan it was more out of the general fascination with 2chan's image boards, particularly /a and /b, which were mostly random (but not 4chan /b random) artwork, without much commentary.
