Watch: 4chan's Moot Retirement Q&A Session Livestream

The originator and sole owner of the imageboard/messageboard 4chan has announced this week that he's about to retire. Chris Poole, otherwise known as moot, suggests that this changing of the guard will not make a big difference to the millions of users of 4chan, one of the world's largest online communities. Today a Q&A session will be taking place for the 4chan community – and the rest of the inquisitive internet – to take part in. This session begins at 1PM Central Time, January 23rd, 2015.

Below you'll see the live stream via YouTube of moot's final farewell Question and Answer session. Again this Q&A session begins at 1PM Central Time, 2PM Eastern Time, 11AM Pacific.

Just press play.

What we know so far: While moot has acted as sold administrator of 4chan over the past 11 and a half years, a handful of volunteers have been working to keep the site running – and will continue to work after this move.

"A few senior volunteers," said moot, "including 4chan's lead developer, managing moderator, and server administrator-have stepped up to ensure a smooth transition over the coming weeks."

Follow along above and let us know if you end up having any questions that remain unanswered after the fact!
