Thank You for the Lack of Service

Hey fun fact: at one point around 2006, moot of 4chan fame was wanting to build a new feature where 4chan users could list where they were located and meet up. It was gonna be called like "4meet" but the goal he had in mind was always that it could be used as a dating service, for 4chan users. Unfortunately, the programmer working on it ran into a bunch of problems (mainly ADHD motivation issues) and it never got completed, and the programmer was fired. That programmer was me. You’re fucking welcome. Imagine how much worse the world would be had 4chan included a fucking DATING SERVICE. Thank you for your (lack of) service

A screenshot of a social media post recounts a failed attempt to create a 4chan dating and meetup service called “4meet.” The author reveals that they were the programmer who abandoned the project, joking that their failure prevented the world from becoming even worse. A reply sarcastically thanks them for their “lack of service.”
