As of 2019, 8kun reportedly finally banned child porn:

Whereas Watkins tolerated it just fine before, yes when Q started dropping and continued to drop:

I wonder what’s up with it now that 8kun has switched hosts again, though. A search on “8kun porn” turns up really nasty stuff, including bestiality. No, sorry, I’m not clicking on those. Do your own search and have a look.

Then there’s this:

Cullen Hoback’s six-part docuseries features Jim Watkins, who has admitted to profiting off child porn web domains. But you wouldn’t know that from watching him on Into the Storm.

And this from 2020:

And this from this year:

Entries in the archive, created between 2004 and 2018, show he was slow to address concerns about child pornography and sometimes dismissed advice from moderators seeking to stop the spread of potentially illegal content. They repeatedly record moderators of Watkins’ forum coming to him for advice on how to handle issues related to child sex abuse material and pedophilic content, and Watkins responding with blasé indifference.

Looks like they switched hosting out of the US around October of 2020:

The latest 8chan version was being kept online by one internet provider, Washington state-based VanwaTech. The connection between the forum and VanwaTech was first reported on Twitter by Fredrick Brennan, an American software developer who helped create 8chan but has since cut ties with it over its hate and violence and spends time tracking down sites that enable it.

On Monday, it appeared that VanwaTech had found another protection service to replace CNServers, the Russia-based ddos-guard.net. 8kun now shares a server with the militant group Hamas and others who have been pushed off mainstream hosting sites.

The founder of Spartan Host, which is based in Belfast, has repeatedly defended his decision to keep 8chan and affiliated sites online.

Maybe 8kun has switched again.

The fact remains that Q was dropping on a 8chan, which later morphed into 8kun, while child porn was being peddled on that site, whether it is still to be found there or not. And Ron Watkins has a sordid history as a purveyor of it, plus other sick porn.

Yes, Mother Jones is commie, and I hate commie. But they do sometimes do some great investigative journalism, I must admit. A few years ago, they did a great piece on illegal immigrants working in meatpacking plants and the health risks involved, as well as violations of labor laws. And yes, The Guardian is leftie, but that does not mean they got basic facts wrong.

It’s a shame our own conservative media don’t cover this stuff. They don’t watchdog miscreants on the right as they as they should. It would reflect better on us if they did.
