> the advantage of a provider like 8chan or Endchan is that they don't care about our individual board at all
Another advantage of 8/Endchan is that there is a well-defined mechanism for another person to take over a board whose owner has disappeared or gone rogue on the posters. This was how 8/ratanon/'s current owner acquired it.

Please don't say this, because you wouldn't. Recent history shows that "sovereignty" over a conventional website is a laughable concept. You would not own your domain name, DNS, CDN or the up-link pipe. At best you could own the actual server if you put it in your garage.

Yes, this is huge concern. What if you're that anon who has been monomaniacally posting race?
