The spin in this article is pretty interesting. 4chan has been a cesspool for years. The stuff highlighted in the article, the leaking nude photos of celeb, and harrasing some game developers, is really mild compared to all the nasty stuff that happened before, like someone posting photos of girl they just murdered, or getting scores of people to actually commit suicide, or leaking nude photos of random women, or harassing some new target every other day. The article calls these "the good times", though.

If leaking nudes of celebs and gamergate was really what made moot give up on 4chan, it would be much more interesting to read the longer story, what changed in him throughout the years that made it no longer acceptable for him to be the admin of the place that hasn't really changed during his tenure.
