Recently, Zig Forums has been in the crosshairs. The New Zealand shooter shared the Facebook livestream link of his carnage on the Zig Forums board. It was Facebook's livestream that people are blaming Zig Forums for sharing. Sidenote: DOJ's Project Safe Childhood, Facebook owned WhatsAppTwitter-owned Periscope and Kik show up multiple times a month for sharing child exploitation materials and as a tool to lure and exploit children.

Mods deleted this. Get gassed kikes. Race war soon.
When day of the rope happens the kikes will act like they are white. We have countermeasures.
We all knew the shooting vid came from Facebook originally, and then after Facebook took it down Zig Forums was “the cool site” that kept it up.
If it was a white guy shooting up a white church it would have been condemned here. Instead, people here were celebrating it. That’s the reason for “the crosshairs.”
Yup, racism, anti Semitic, anti Islamic sentiment. That is Zig Forums
“Why the focus on Zig Forums?”
Do you truly believe that Bollywood video was even real? I’m pissed no one is speaking out on how fake that NZ video is.
Just be sure to respond to these 'journalists' social media accounts, people need to expose their lies. 8ch is a freedom of speech website and anyone can post there. The posters are responsible for what they post, not the website. Both legally and morally.
Actually, no. Not according to article 47 U.S. Code § 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

So, let me make sure I understand this.
The Goldwater has basically come to a slow crawl because you decided to put all your focus on BooksAudio.
The 'articles' at the Goldwater are now only being published one every couple weeks or so.
But now Amazon is pulling out of the deal with BooksAudio, and the 'authors' of upcoming books had to scratch their agreement with you, and start over, looking for another company to 'narrate' their worthless 'books'?
It looks like New Dawn Herbal AdaptoCaps might finally be an option.
After all, the 'Goldwater General Store' (zazzle) sells 9 items, all of them being generic, visually unappealing prints of your awful logo on bumper stickers, coffee mugs and refrigerator magnets.
I'm curious why your company doesn't seem to be able to handle e-commerce, instead relying on third parties to handle the business end of sales, allowing Amazon to take a 60% cut, and Zazzle to take a 70% cut of sales.
I'm not sure the loss of BooksAudio contracts represents much of a financial setback, because none of the books you guys have narrated are appealing. Not even vaguely. I haven't seen one of them yet which I found interesting or worthy of looking into. The actual narrations themselves are almost unbearable to listen to. The books themselves are simply awful. It's painful to even think about listening to one of those second rate books being narrated by amateurs.
Listening to the audio samples is bad enough, and I can't imagine having to suffer through more than 30 seconds of the narrations.
The most comical ones of all are the narrations by Diana. I really don't need to explain that any further, do I?
Plus, you guys were only getting 40% of each sale, allowing Amazon to take 60%.
40% of nothing doesn't seem like a very lucrative business model, so I really don't think losing all of the contracts represents much of a financial setback.
Hopefully, there's a Walmart in Manila, and all of you guys can go find a real job.
of course, I'm well aware your mother is very proud of her son, who 'hit the big time', and is now an audiobook narrator in the Philippines.
It goes without saying that your mother would be so proud of you that she would be one of the few people who actually spent money on one of the audio books you read…
And it's a safe bet that she talk to some of her friends in Tennessee into also spending a couple bucks on one of your audiobooks…
I can't imagine that would be enough to pay the bills.
Let's just be honest here… This was probably for the best. Sooner or later the cold reality of the failed business model was going to have to be accepted, and at least this way, you can always look back and blame it on smear campaigns instead of dealing with the truth of the matter: it simply wasn't a lucrative successful business idea to begin with.
I'm not sure if you're deliberately posting the opposite on purpose or not but that is the section that gives immunity to you as a site owner as long as make a good effort to remove illegal material. Which is why it's the responsibility of the poster.
ahhh somebody's paying attention
If you're really looking to diversify and come up with a financially successful subsidiary, I've got one or two ideas that would be wildly successful.
hmu
ideas that are SO OBVIOUS, but yet have never been done before.
ALL JOKING ASIDE:
I have a message for Jim
Dear Jim, I give you a lot of shit, just on a goof
for the same reason mountain climbers climb mountains: because you are there
But the truth of the matter is I actually have a lot of respect for you. I admire you very much. At first, I honestly 'didn't want it to like you', because there was something about you that rubbed me the wrong way. Of course I'm well aware that I rub you the wrong way, too. Life is never a one-way Street.
But the more that I have learned about you and the more I've watched you, the more and more I admire you.
It turns out that you're actually a pretty damn good guy.
Sure, you're creepy… That's a given…
But so am I…
In fact, I don't like anybody who's not creepy…
I've never liked anybody who's not weird.
Regarding the audio books, I'm quite sure that each of you has chosen books that you have a particular interest in.
Philip goes for the alchemy bullshit (dungeons & dragons victim)
And Diana takes the 'how to hit on Filipino girls correctly' projects.
But YOU have shown an interest in the aliens versus religion angle….
And that verified what I already thought about you.
I'm pretty sure you and I would actually get along very well in real life… When I've watched you videos and listen to you speak, seen your affinity for finer things like the pleasure of quality fountain pens (when I was a small child I taught myself how to illustrate using old India ink well and quill tip pens) and watched your overall effect, and started really listening to what you think and what you believe in… I realized that I actually like you.
I think you're pretty fucking cool.
I know you aren't going to believe me, but I'm actually very much on your side.
I like Ron very very much. He's a fine young man.
I think you've done a very good job with your life.
I just wanted to let you know that I actually think you're pretty goddamn cool.

and a couple other speech to text typos
please forgive me
That would be applicable, if only you could demonstrate a good effort to remove or prevent such content.
Oh well, there goes that theory
The actual article on the Goldwater about the smear campaign seems to have been thrown together sloppily. I'm guessing the mistakes in the article were a product of the authors anger and inability to focus on what he was writing?
That's right, the real irony here is that it's a yellow journalist with a white savior complex
only Philip words things this way.
that's not James' syntax.
it's not Jim or Diana.
Here, in the second paragraph, things begin to become unhinged.
Number One: the hyperlink (blue text) begins with the word 'women'
Number Two: there is no direct correlation between the first paragraph and second paragraph. It's simply comes out of left field.
Number Three: this is the first mention of Legum's name
Number Four: this dissociated comment comes off as being very misogynistic, especially when you consider the exclamation point after the word 'women'. It seems angry, and it demonstrates a lack of emotional control.
"(many websites and apps) show up multiple times a month for sharing child exploitation materials and as a tool to lure and exploit children… "
"the same can be said for women!"
Please tell me how these two statements are connected.
Then, suddenly the name 'Mr. Legum' appears out of nowhere
Are you planning on changing the corporate name to thatBooks.audio ?
I realize that Philip enjoys wizards and warlocks, Lord of the rings and Star Wars, children's fantasy content and video games… and I realize that this leads to emotionally immature adulthood…
So obviously Philip was 'venting', seething with uncontrolled inner anger….
And he was trying to be clever by using a play on words when he referred to the journalist as being 'yellow', suggesting the journalist was a coward.
But somehow, it really didn't work here.
Is choice of ironic wordplay ended up coming across sounding really racist.
the same way he ended up sounding misogynistic when he included the word women and followed it with an exclamation mark.
Philip should have exercised more control, and focused less on trying to sound clever.
Philip decided to claim this haphazard, ill-planned & poorly executed 'article' was written by more than one person.
If more than one person contributed to this ineffectively conceived, emotionally unstable rant, I would be amazed.
I find it extremely unlikely that more than one person could simultaneously exercise an identical lack of forethought and sloppiness.
Saying the staff of books.audio has never heard of Zig Forums is just as disingenuous as claiming the staff at The Olive Garden has never heard of Longhorn Steaks or Red Lobster.
Bullshit !!!
Olive Garden, LongHorn Steaks & Red Lobster are all owned by the Garden Restaurant Group
And everybody who 'works' for Books.Audo (a tiny handful of Goldwater staff) knows what Zig Forums is, and posts and edits threads in Zig Forums
lies !!
sorry…

If you're going to accuse other people of lying
maybe you shouldn't LIE YOURSELF

but part of the same smelly nutsack
Every Penny Earned.
what an ironic statement.
I can't imagine the term 'Dollars' being used.
at least not honestly.
so far, there hasn't been even one audiobook that sounded even vaguely interesting.
I have spoken with one of the Advertisers On Zig Forums.
They told me that they paid $10 A DAY to advertise here, which included ad space across this entire website, on every board.
TEN DOLLARS A DAY…..
on any given day, there are only two advertisers here (not including the books.audio advertisements)
So …… That means Zig Forums brings in $20 a day in advertising dollars…….
interesting
All in all, the 'article' whining and bitching about a smear campaign came across really poorly.
It certainly doesn't get you any sympathy.
Have you ever noticed that people actually secretly enjoy watching little babies throw temper tantrums?
Somehow we get a kick out of watching them suffer.
Nose length measurement, percentage of pork consumption, pedophilia and reaction to a penny dropping on the floor. Yeah science! :D

Fuck off faggot your thread sucks
That's because it was a real video you tard
8ch owner Jim Watkins compares the confrontation at his home by VICE to Nazi persecution of Jews
Mr Watkins,the white nationalist owner of the white nationalist image board 8ch, also known as the toxic pit of the internet, mentions nazis and brown shirts 22 times in the video that he posted on his youtube channel
His home was visited by award winning Vice reporter Elle Reeve, known for Vice’s documentary about the Charlottesville alt-right tiki torch march
She was invited into Mr watkin' house by a confused filipino boy in a dress, while Mr Watkins was in his bedroom with his other kids
She was trying to get the scoop on Zig Forums after the recent postings by alt right terrorists who admire Mr Watkins for making a platform for them to express their views.
He references his baseball bat that he was tempted to use to smash the skull of MS Reeves and her Jewish producer.
There may have been some live streaming of the event inside the home that may be illegal to use on the Vice web site

Jim's not a racist, he just hits all of the racist stereotypes and says race-braindead things and does racist accents.
Trying to maintain a no-holds-barred free speech site might not be a bad thing (perhaps even laudable), but that anarchy will always devolve by driving out those who don’t want to deal with bad actors until only the bad actors remain. Then your free speech site is reliant on bad actors to maintain engagement, as is any money you might make off of it. At some point you hit a cross-roads where either you acquiesce to the bad actors on some subject or the site implodes (recognizing and attempting to curtail “freeze peach” at that point will drive away all the bad actors, leaving the site with nothing.) All of this means that, even if you start out nominally a good person, you will become a bad actor yourself.
It’s almost the cliche “Die a hero or live long enough to become a villain”
So Jim has become a racist by devolution?
I pulled a hernia laughing.
absolutely brilliant!
you're funny as shit
why thank you,(sac)

The name derives from Genkem, a brand of glues which had "become the generic name for all the glues used by glue-sniffing children" in South Africa, where the drug originated and is most popular on the African continent today.[9] In the book Children of AIDS: Africa's Orphan Crisis by Emma Guest, the making of jenkem is described: "fermented human sewage, scraped from pipes and stored in plastic bags for a week or so, until it gives off numbing, intoxicating fumes."[10] The process is similarly described in a 1995 IPS report: "Human excreta is scooped up from the edges of the sewer ponds in old cans and containers which are covered with a polyethylene bag and left to stew or ferment for a week."[4] A 1999 BBC article refers to "the dark brown sludge, gathering up fistfuls and stuffing it into small plastic bottles. They tap the bottles on the ground, taking care to leave enough room for methane to form at the top."[3]
The effects of jenkem inhalation last for around an hour and consist of auditory and visual hallucinations for some users.[3] In 1995, one user told a reporter it is "more potent than cannabis."[4] A 1999 report interviewed a user, who said, "With glue, I just hear voices in my head. But with jenkem, I see visions. I see my mother who is dead and I forget about the problems in my life."[3] Fumito Ichinose, an anesthesia specialist in Boston who conducted a study on the effects of hydrogen sulfide gas, or "sewer gas," on mice, informed Salon.com that holding your breath, choking, or "the inhalation of gases like those produced from jenkem could result in hypoxia, a lack of oxygen flow to the body that could be alternately euphoric and physically dangerous
