I think you give way too much credit to the severity of the 8ch migration. It was not felt at all on many boards that I frequent.

As another poster mentioned in the comments, it seems more as a small very vocal group that moved, and the traffic stats seem to agree. The comparison was given that one hour on /vg/ was more than the traffic on the whole of 8ch.

I only post on throwaways these days because these moderation practices remind me a little too much of 4chan.

No, seriously, you are more likely to be banned from 4chan these days than from HN. Let that sink in.
