When the 4chan community starts a raid they meet in a private IRC chatroom. Last night's meeting took place in a private, IRC-built, self-hosted chatroom.
Members of the chatroom have agreed upon the hashtag #RememberAddison, which they plan on using to fake a teenage girl's death on twitter, claiming she was a victim of the #cutting4beiber hoax.

They're currently deciding on who will spread the death hoax on what social network. Reddit, Tumblr, and 9gag are common targets of theirs.

We copy/paste what's in the link normally.
One day someone needs to fuck with us by only posting small pieces and misleading us. :v:
Interesting.....
I'm not sure how I feel about this..
That's a lot of trouble for a bunch of fake shit.
Am I the only one that thinks this joke went way too far?
Also, of all the sites, why 9gag? I'm just curious.
So there's a leak in their "private" IRC channel, wonder how this will unfold.

Because 9gag recycle memes and shit from other web cultures and pass them off as their own, it's like the shit heap of the internet where unfunny memes go to die, except they don't let them die, they tie em up with strings and make the dead meme bodies prance around like puppets.
And they idiotically said they're better than 4chan, and they actually believe it.

The often steal 4chan's content, pretend to have a "9gag army" akin to anonymous, and they wanted to be just as scary and badass (ooh).
So anon gave them the credit they wanted.

it was never private
-scrap-
Sorry, when I tried to click on the article last night it said it was down. I had no idea they actially got evidence of the chat.

It's making me see double
Clicking on the source currently gives you: An error (502 Bad Gateway) has occured in response to this request.
Oh god, that was gold. Although its a shame 4chan doesn't do anything more important any more.

Oh my god I just went there.
The horror, THE HORROR...
They are basically recycling a single image with the same scheme <number close to infinity> times, there's wrong usage of memes, forcibly trying to be funny etc.
It's so bad, it actually hurts.
So now I see the reason for the hate.
also, fix the OP please, the formatting hurts too.
BuzzFeed are such partypoppers

Given that the screenshots are taken in mibbit and mibbit highlights your own messages and there's a variety of images of the chat, I don't think the author of those images will be able to keep that anonymous name anonymous for very long.
Mibbit also gives a notice of its client when logging off. He fucked.

Both sites are equally shit but I'd prefer going on 4chan any day.
Le anonamoose
I don't understand why they would post this. It's not like the actualy #CutforBieber thing where people were actually hurt.
I don't know why, but when the text is that small and it's repeated like that, my eyes kept flickering between them and it got really weird.

Because 9gag act like their users form some sort of army even though they've never done anything of note ever (compare with 4chan who get shit done). Also 4chan have sort of hated 9gag since forever.
Edited:
One time some 4chan user decided to create a user on 9gag and incite a DDOS-attack on 4chan. What the 9gag users didn't know is that the coordinates he provided were for 9gag. 4chan made 9gag DDOS themselves. What more do I need to say?
