Bibliography and methodology[edit]
4plebs.org provides a "largest threads" query under a /statistics/ API endpoint.[1][3] The /statistics/ endpoint is an original extension to the FoolFuuka API (no other archive websites currently have it or equivalent feature (correction archived.moe and other archives that are still alive today had a similar page in 2019 but not anymore) so the boards which 4plebs archives are the only 4chan boards for which the longest thread is known as of September 2022.
