I realize Chris is tired of dealing with the headaches of managing 4chan. But if he has effectively outsourced management of the site, why not continue to hold the title of president or whatever?
I wonder how much of his cachet he gives up by doing this (even though he still owns the property). Given his influence on the internet due to 4chan, moot can probably raise money for his next project with relative ease. Can Christopher Poole?
Edit: Fixed moot capitalization.
- gmu3 12y agomoot is never capitalized. I guess we'll see but I mainly read it as he was stepping down as an administrator.
- jedberg 12y ago> moot is never capitalized Neither is reddit, but the press doesn't seem to care and a lot of users don't realize it either. Protip: Never make your brand "always lowercase" because it just won't work.

- jedberg 12y agoHah, good point. That might be the only one that actually works. However, it has an advantage in that it's rarely the start of a sentence (usually it will be The iPhone), and anyone using a Mac will have it autocorrect.
- astrange 12y agoFor some reason lots of people write it as "4Chan" instead of "4chan". They must feel betrayed they didn't get to capitalize the 4.
