2/2
- The Old 8ch group, basically many staffers from the early days who went on for too long to the point of becoming bad guys (or simply showing they were always retards). The most famous one is Mark Mann, no introduction needed for this jew who is co-running 8moe, along with Joshua Moon who seems to be running around on empty from country to country escaping what seems to be an international order, something about some CP stuff and the bogus attempt to link him to a couple of shootings; Seems to be still running 9ch. There's also Hotwheels who drank too much soy and became an american-tier christian with a vengeance of everyone who posted on 8ch, although he got a legal order from the other guys, the Pig Farmers which are Jim, an old US military consultant/outsource handyman and freemason having a good time on the Philippines and running 8kun along with his son Codemonkey, a hapa dude in charge of coding 8kun (joke tells itself). These last guys also had a japanese imageboard which supposedly didn't ran very good with them, they are also partners with the japanese m00t 4cham had/has although not many people like to remember that fact.
- The Webring/Non-Aligned Imageboard members, who seem to be in the middle of all this mess but who might have internal problems themselves.
Cafe here doesn't seem to be having any (no visible IRC as far as i can tell and no known info on a BO chat group other than a possible Mod IRC). Known friendly relations are with Julay due to having many of their posters/refugees and ex-boards around, along with a couple bunkers.
Prolikewoah have a recent history of being possibly aligned or friendly relation with Mark Mann (via /animu/ forcibly taking over /a/ under his command) and the shitstirrer mini club (via member Tengu who is a BO and IRC dude there). They seem to be having a bit of a trouble due to either /cow/, Dolphin or somebody else possibly doxxing their Admin, which is controversial to begin with but the supposed identity of the guy himself might pose for eternal banter points due to being associated with a relatively famous event on the US, along with his ethnicity.
TVch is commanded by a well known attention whore called Gahoole, a mod-turned-BO-turned-Admin in the spawn of a year and a half. He's an interesting case, for such rabid hunger for attention he seems to be a sort of Vicar of Bray, he has played many sides successfully like siding and defending Mark Mann multiple times (although he has tried to distance himself from it due to extreme controversy surrounding the beast) but also playing mediator and softly siding with Julay's admin Robi, he seems to have been in a couple of /cow/ streams interacting with them in a friendly way, in his mod days he quickly grabbed /tv/'s userbase attention in a neutral-to-positive manner, a group which might as well count as a group itself due to their singular way of behaving themselves. He was also in contact with a couple of terrorists and i think he even interacted with the mini club, although he seems to have crossed them out with the firing of one of their BOs.
Smug are one of the original founders of the webring, they are /a/'s bunker and natural enemy of Prolikewoah although this is a theoretical fight because they don't seem to care a lot other than the controversial /animu/ takeover at 8kun. They are pretty much self-centered and that attitude has made them the most successful refugee transition of them all, getting almost no damage from this whole crisis year, their preparation due to their autism has to be applauded but their traditional ways also make them a hard place to host into due to their particular rules: Their /vg/ alternative, the natural choice for the ill-fated alt video game board that was in 8ch, boasts a rule about prohibiting the discussion of anyone in this physical meat-based realm (3DPD) for long, such as devs, composers, and so on, which renders a variety of threads null and void. This coupled with their /a/ board, which has been known for its insufferable mods, automated bans and thread restrictions (only current season shows) has made them an easy board to hate, but they keep waddling on in their own world, which makes them an unlikely candidate for drama other than banter of their admin, who has atrocious grammar but has an automated ban program which busts you for misspelled words.
I know i'm missing something but oh well, that's the main groups known on this part of town, outside there might be more tribes and rivalries.
