Welcome to the first ever /GETG/!

GETs are a very popular subject on 4chan, yet the only time they are talked about is during the time of a GET. It is due to this severe lack of understanding about how GETs work that people often yell "script!" at every GET they see without understanding how relatively easy it is to actually go for a GET.

The purpose of this thread is to post screencaps of our GETs and talk about methods we like to use when going for GETs. Are there any GETs you have personally obtained? How did you do it? Do you post blindly and get it, or did you look at the board's post rate? Do you have your own specially-made script that gets GETs for you?

Let's begin.

I used to work with 8/sp to steal 4chan gets. I really miss that board. The 8ch mods crippled it for months and it died like the rest of the site. There used to be a site that showed upcoming gets with predicted times, but the link is dead now. Does anyone know if it moved?

8ch /sp/ stole a LOT of the GETs I was going for on dead boards. The board would be completely dead, then WOOSH, 10 posters all in the span of a second.

We're opening up a can of worms not just making a thread this meta, but also putting down generals intentionally. I personally think this is a bad idea.

It's getwatcher.net
There are some getters on 76chan /sp/ or at least there used to be, idk if 76chan is still alive, but desu mostly just the most autistic and unpleasant posters seemed to have moved there and the fun ones reintegrated back into 4/sp/ eventually I think.
Just checked getwatcher and seems endchan is actually still around and their own /sp/ has the 22222 get coming up so maybe they get some traffic there now. Before this I thought endchan had died off back in 2016 like demochan and uberchan a few years earlier and the others.

I also used to play GETball with /sp/ back during the glory days, but not FOR /sp/. Good times.

(sorry /vg/)

Do people actually care about GETs from websites other than 4chan?

People on those other websites, yes.
No one not on 4chan cares about gets on 4chan either (except the 8ch GETball league during the GETball days, a brief period). There's some wikifags who lurk 4chan a lot and record some of them, and probably some newfags who post them on /r/4chan, and that is literally it. Also a few diehard /sp/ getters that took "gets on infinite chans" very seriously. Short answer: no.

Reposting copypasta:

Layer 1: Blind Post

This is the most legitimate GET of them all. You come to 4chan with absolutely no idea what's going on, post somewhere, and, BAM, you got a GET. Your post is just some random post in a random thread, with or without a picture. These GETs are mostly deemed as failGETs, but without a shadow of a doubt, these are the most legitimate.

Layer 2: Post Number Monitoring Through Page Refreshing

This is when you're waiting for the right time to post for a GET, so you refresh the page over and over again. Then, when you believe the post count is correct, you hit Post and get the GET. This is slightly less legitimate than Layer 1 because you refreshed the page to monitor the post rate, giving yourself a greater advantage than someone posting randomly. Does this make this GET illegitimate? Not at all. In fact, this method is the method used by the majority of people going for GETs.

Layer 3: Post Number Monitoring Through A Post Number Updater

You can use either an in-browser greasemonkey extension (the method I personally use) or an external program to monitor the board's post rate. When the number reaches the general range you want, you hit Post. This is less legitimate than Layer 2 because you are going for the GET with the aid of something beyond refreshing. Whether you wrote this program or not, THE PROGRAM instead of 4CHAN BY ITSELF is telling you the post count. Does this make the GET illegitimate? People have been arguing this for months now, but the general consensus is that no, it's not. YOU are the one hitting the Post button, so it's still up to you to correctly predict the timing of when to post. Update lag, server lag, jumpy Internet connection, and overall random influx of posters can severely detract from this method, but if you're really good, this method is the best method to use.

Layer 4: Automatic Script Posting

I used a script from September 25th, 2011 to July 22nd, 2012 (yes, I'm THAT autistic to record the EXACT dates) to test out its functionality. This was the high period of when scripting was going on in 4chan. The advantage of a script is that it automatically posts for you when the post number reaches a certain number, meaning you no longer have to watch the post rate. However, you have to program the script to post at the time you want it to post. This can lead to highly accurate GETs on boards that have a STEADY POST RATE. However, one major disadvantage to scripts are their inability to adapt to high influxes of posters and random changes in post rate. This is why GETs that are sextuplets or higher on fast boards like /b/, /pol/, etc., are almost impossible to script on. You have to factor in how many people are posting, your own Internet upload speed, 4chan's Internet upload speed, and the possibility of 4chan upload server lag due to how many people are going for the GET. This GET is obviously more illegitimate than Layer 3, and most people consider scripted GETs to not be "real" GETs. There are no known public scripts available at this time.

Layer 5: ModGET

A ModGET is when a moderator obtains a GET through post self-insertion (like when a moderator changes the text and/or image of a post), pre-programmed self-insertion when a mod's post just magically appears at the perfect time, or when a mod moves an ENTIRE THREAD onto a board and one of the posts in that thread gets the GET (like what happened with /bant/'s 77777). These GETs are 100% illegitimate since it was impossible for anyone else but the inserted/moved post to get the GET.

It's legit because 4chan intentionally provides the JSON outputs your programs is picking up.

That still doesn't stop people from whining about it and calling it a script.

People are so ignorant when it comes to scripts. For starters, scripts NEVER WORKED on fast boards that had a huge user base aiming for a GET. It only works on boards with a steady, non-jumpy post rate.
