The image board admins at plus4chan have posted an announcement saying they're shutting down as of 1/1/18
The explanation posted was
"The board software is broken in multiple ways and needs an extreme overhaul or replacing. The host recently upgraded PHP/mySQL and I don't know if that has left any time bombs (nor what, if any, version I could switch back to in order to avoid that.) I don't have the will, energy, or, frankly, interest to do so. (In my defense, I don't have the interest to do anything.)
It's only a matter of time until the next CP spam wave, and if this wave has certain features there's no sufficient method to stopping it.
Even without that, posting and other site actions routinely fail. This site has been on life support for about two years now, and I'm finally pulling the plug."
