So a gold star and a kiss on the cheek, basically.

Moot is a poor lad.

  I don't think he's poor by any stretch of the imagination. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the recent intrusion brought to light that something to the number of 12,000 passes have been bought? 12,000 x 20 = 240,000 Not a significant amount of money, but how much do you think his over head expenses are to run the service?

      Venture capital for a separate business/entity != money for 4chan and/or myself personally. It's incredible how so many 4channers confuse the two and have a fundamental misunderstanding of VC...

        On the list of things, that's the least incredible thing.

        Well, on the other hand I worked in a company which lived for about 14 years of such VC money. They never made profit and all VCs got mad. But I, as an employee, got paid a handsome amount of this money and I guess I'm not the only one. So I can understand that some people think VC money is for the founders.

    I bet the running costs are pretty respectable.

      I can't imagine that it's more than $6,000 per month. Cloudflare's enterprise service is a flat $5,000 per month regardless of utilized bandwidth, and can be negotiated downward. The dedicated server hosting 4chan's code and UGC cannot cost much more than $1,000 per month. I run a site with a slightly better alexa ranking than 4chan. I've read past 4chan blog entries so I know that the traffic demands are similar, and my own expenses average around $6,000 per month.

        I can't imagine who downvoted you. You supplied some useful information. I for one didn't how much that service costs.

You could probably convince /g/ to send them the appropriate X-rated images too

A 0day pat on the head from 4chan is pretty solid nerd cred for the CV. Maybe he's so worried about the rest of the code that he thinks a $10k bounty could quickly ruin him :)

  I dunno man, exploiting a 0day to troll the shit out of people on /b/ also seems pretty great.
