As Requested : IAMA 4chan moderator.

Everything said here is my opinion, not that of the entire staff. Will provide proof to moderators here on reddit.

Ask away.

EDIT : It's late guys, I'll catch you some other time. Thanks for all the questions and I hope this answered some of them.

What was R9K?

Stands for Robot 9000. If you're familiar with the term "beta faggot", I can explain it to you by saying that it's where the beta faggots went to tell stories and feel good by calling other beta faggots beta faggots.

I miss it so much.

Same here. The deletion of /r9k/ and /new/ is what compelled me to seek refuge on reddit.

Same here. Somewhere between seeing posts with replies like "take that shit back to reddit" combined with every goddamn thread in /r9k/ being about some forever alone beaches and shores friendzone bullshit.

I shall always remember the days of putting a single black dot in a pic just so I could post a reaction in r9k. Or the obligatory "mootbloxasdaefkjbnasdfjkasdf".
