All that grass getting touched at once.
- Could you imagine them all wandering out of their mom’s basements en mass and blinking as they saw the sun for the first time in years?
  
  Relevant Simpsons gif
  
  Like the ending scene of City of Ember where the kids see the sunrise for the first time in their lives

And nothing of value was lost
- Two good wallpaper forums, and the second largest retro shooter/doom/quake community on the internet.
  4chan was more than crypto scams and jailbait.

I’m sure they’ll come back, but might take a while if they first upgrade their 10 year old PHP to eliminate the dozens of known exploits they were vulnerable to.

Did they ever give a motive, or are they just doing it for the clout
- They did it for the lulz
  Honestly, I don't know what took so damn long lol
  
  Who? Was it Anonymous?

A few technical claims about the site here. If true they were long overdue.

We will start anew 4chan with blackjack and hookers.
