4chan has been sold to the man who inspired its creation.
The anonymous message board was founded by Christopher Poole 12 years ago, in 2003.
In a brief post on 4chan, Poole on Monday announced that the buyer is Hiroyuki Nishimura, a pioneer of Japanese web culture and founder of 2Channel - an early anonymous online message board devoted to anime and Japanese culture that inspired Poole to create 4chan.
From his post:
Hiroyuki is a pioneer in the world of anonymous communities, and can be thought of as the great-grandfather of 4chan. His creation of 2channel in 1999 sparked an era of anonymous-centric web culture in Japan that led to the creation of Futaba Channel, the site that inspired 4chan. None of us would be using 4chan today - or potentially any anonymous image board - if it weren't for him.
