If 4chan is dead it's more likely a consequence of, yet more, celebrity nude photos getting posted.
Maybe Zam will pick up some lost and mourning forumers from their demise.
It's not dead. Not exactly. But, from what I can gather, there's a fairly major exodus after Moot began censoring GamerGate posts. I haven't found one centralized article. I'm just picking things up here and there in bits and pieces, so nothing big enough worth linking, especially since most things I'm trying to open end up being deleted threads and such. At this point, I don't have a single fully verified source, so take everything with a grain of salt.
From what I've managed to gather thus far, Moot went to Venice with a woman who works for either Gawker or a PR firm that works with them. Sometime after that, a bunch of mods at 4chan got booted, assuming I'm understanding that right. Those that remain have been supposedly told to squash GamerGate posts.
It really doesn't have anything to do with celeb nudes as far as I can tell, since you brought it up.
Edit: I doubt we'll see any new folks from there over here, since they've already created a new place for themselves. Some previous posters may come back, though.
