Joshua Moon (Null) ripped off this community to the tune of ten thousand dollars before Jim and Hotwheels righteously fired him. Also, he fantasizes about fucking rugrats to death.
Over on /baphomet/ it appears that Josh's latest project is a 'free speech' hosting company. /baphomet/ have got a dump of all his current hosts and his network layout.
Sure would be a shame if something happened to them.

This guy may be one of the least competent "developers" and I'm mad that he was hired. He took the site's last chance to retain some shred of independence from Jim and threw it out the window. And he took Hotwheels with him.
Best part is how our community spent thousands to incentivize the creation. He goes over budget, throws a tantrum, gets fired, and then tries to claim ownership of the codebase. For a job he was hired to do.
I can't believe some people actually like Josh. His code was a fucking mess and he's an all-around idiot.
Jaxson Hall
well this is fun: resetera.kiwifarms.net I'd prefer that something not happen to it just because Josh fucked up and wrote NEXT in PHP instead of a real language since he had no idea how to make it more performant than vichan, he really needed the language to pull its own there
He didn't just steal $10k, his severe mismanagement of the project killed this chan. He force-migrated most of the smaller boards to next which was rarely up, failed to copy over their existing threads correctly destroying their board culture, and when that failed and boards returned to the old site didn't copy the posts back over leaving the few who remained on those boards to basically start over. That killed almost every one of the smaller board communities. I feel sorry for whomever joins his hosting service as they'll get fucked by his irresponsibility and autism.
Ryder Howard
he got contracted for development and then totally failed to deliver, and kept the money. theft in my book
Bentley Long
And then tons of people just got pissed and never came back either. The active ISPs number used to be at least twice the amount they are now prior to this.
He also left logging on and bled everyone's IPs that touched any image on the main page for a day or two.
Austin Phillips
From what I recall Next was rejected because he refused to remove the AGPL license, it had nothing to do with software.
Jaxson Cook
It had everything to do with software. Next was written with a shitty ORM and written extremely poorly, Josh didn't understand indexes and said he didn't know shit like 'big O' when we were mocking him here, next had no cache at all when he first attempted to migrate the whole site (it was literally generating every single page read via a SQL ORM) and it blew the fuck up, after it had a cache he blamed the servers being a performance bottleneck despite the site only getting 2 posts per second at peak, he had NO FUCKING IDEA how to even begin to debug a performance bottleneck and wound up trying to just randomly blame things like insisting "hotwheels' catcha" was the reason the DATABASE was falling over. And it was obviously the database as a few of us did test next with scripted posts when it was up. The license argument was something else entirely, it was an attempt to salvage the code that had already been paid for after it was deemed a failure in hopes it could be fixed by someone else. The argument itself was Jews jewing Jews, but again it wasn't relevant here as next didn't fucking work.
Hunter Gonzalez
I guess I'm misinformed. I didn't follow the tech side that closely and it's impossible to tell who's telling the truth about the internal drama, but supposedly Hotwheels wasn't responding to Josh for long periods of time and they shut the whole thing down quick without giving time to fix it and Josh wasn't informed how cache heavy the website would need to be or how it would have to be built etc. It sounded like a clusterfuck that was a little bit of everyone's fault.
It's hard to imagine how he'd fuck up the performance as badly as it fucked up since he has made other moderately popular websites before, but he did try to fix it for a long time afterwards for nextchan or whatever and the performance never got very good, so who knows.
Cameron Johnson
You're believing Josh's excuses, of which he had an unlimited supply. On the first attempt when he claimed it was ready to go Josh literally took the whole site down to migrate the data onto next over a day or two having never tried to do a full migration before and thus having never actually tested the thing with real data and having never written scripts to simulate the load (I asked him about that, he never did it at any point that entire year and would just periodically use the live server to "test"), and he was having to fix issues with data not importing correctly as he went. Live. Like, we were watching the changes and hacks he was adding while trying to bring it back up and decisions on what content would just be lost rather than immediately abandon the migration as even a first year Pajeet would have done. That's the kind of person he is. He's completely fucked in the head. Serious things are wrong with him.
Robert Campbell
I wouldn't trust thus man ever. Sure today he says he's offering free speech, but he's the kind of guy that would throw you under the bus if someone paid him nicely.
Hunter Smith
Rumors are spreading that he is getting DDoS'd right now.
Robert Brown
OH YOU MEAN YOUR FUCKING PORTSCAN DIDNT TURN UP ANYTHING?? FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING SCRIPT KIDDIE PISSWELK
Cooper Walker
Probably because he didn't write the software it runs on.
Michael Long
Josh did nothing wrong. Jim is a fat mason kike and Hotwheels cucked out to implement sunshine.
Angel Green
Hotwheels makes new religions on twitter now, really gets the noggin joggin.
Levi Ross
He'd throw the guy that's paying him under the bus.
Mason Watson
Is this little cuck with his alt-right, retard-bashing posse still around?
Man. I knew that little dickhead since 7chan and honestly thought we got rid of his silly, attention whoring antics for good.
Austin Barnes
Josh did nothing wrong!
Does no one remember that he was the only one advocating for the agpl? Jim was trying to cuck the freedoms out of this board and he succeeded and no one even remembers what Josh fought for.
Nathan Rivera
...
Luis Jones
I never said that. He even admitted that he was dependant on hw for maintaining the code. Which is probably why next became never, he couldn't get help from cripple boy.
His technical skills do not negatively effect his principles. Jim sold his soul for money and hw is dependant on Jim because he is physically unable to live alone.
Cameron Nguyen
HW is not even a good dev. Blind leading the blind thats how bad Josh is.
Aiden Ross
That whole period just killed 8ch. Everything of quality vanished and now it's just the ruins of a formerly decent site. Even the porn boards here are dead.
Kiwifarms is a SJW hive. Null tried to become Chris-chan's personal secretary and started to leech money off of him. Mean while all he did was made Chris less interesting to watch.
Hi Josh.
Free speech doesn't exist. At best it's a honey pot at worst it's an outright lie. Either way there is no way to post on the internet without some glowing niggers being able to fuck you for it.
Joseph Fisher
He's a drugged up midget. He could be a religion if he found the right kind of liberals.
Michael Rogers
What principles? He only wanted to use AGPL because it would give him power over this site as he was in control of it, just look at this insanity he thought he could get away with by claiming that he just wants to protect the project and keep it free github.com/infinity-next/infinity-next/issues/238
And the code for next hasn't seen an update since 2016, nobody uses it. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more time spent discussing and making excuses for it compared to actual work done on it by Josh this point. Having him involved with this site was a massive waste of time and money.
Benjamin Moore
Trying to prevent the site going from gpl to agpl is a noble cause and he lost his job fighting for it. A noble sacrifice in my opinion. This site is now no less pozzed than half chan.
And yes as I've already mentioned he stopped development because he clearly is incapable of finishing such a large project due to his sub par programming. The only idiots are the ones that gave a crappy Dev $10k to shoot the moon.
Cameron Sullivan
I'm glad you like my site, I wrote it in Golang.
Lincoln Perez
Jewsh likes to spread kiwifarms across a ton of tiny servers and uses a load balancer fwiw
Jace Martinez
...but he was the one who designed and wrote it
Dylan Adams
He sold his soul for a pig farm? What? Who on earth would do such a thing
Justin Lewis
this
Gavin Morales
Anyone know why there have been so many cloudflare 502 errors lately, like the past couple of weeks, daily?
Justin Hall
Someone donated money to DDoS the site, and they seem to just do it for some period once or twice a day.
Jordan Young
His ass should be DDos'd every day. With a broomstick.
