>what happened to 4chan?
It was attacked, ostensibly by the imageboard soyjak.party, otherwise know as the sharty. A board that was born out of /qa/ (the hacker could've just used the site as a dumping ground/cover to receive any flak though). The attack looks pretty extensive, with mods and janitor emails,the secret janitor board and the entire site source code being leaked.

>what is this place?
Endchan's resident pony community. We are a small board with own culture of sorts and way of things. If you are coming from /mlp/, we might be too sincere, heterodox, and occasionally bloggpostery for your liking. Though if you decide to stick around, read:>>5559

>is this a continuation of 8chan's /pone/?
No, but we are blood relatives and do have some contentions to them. Not quite brothers, more like cousins.

>Is there anything else?
Dolores is best bridge.

The most active bunker seems to be /nhnb/ (https://nhnb.org/fim/) Though I will point out to any 8chan/pone stragglers, that 8kun/pone/ (8kun.top/pone/) is still being guarded by an active board owner in the event y'all decide to return for a /pone/ revival attempt.
