mister mods please don't ban OP and close topic. i don't want more wikileaks threads shitting up in the news

[QUOTE=privatesmily;26586137]mister mods please don't ban OP and close topic. i don't want more wikileaks threads shitting up in the news[/QUOTE] As I have said before, this is a news forum and this is the biggest news story of the year and its growing hour by hour.

These DDoS attacks are ridiculous and serve no purpose, other than to inconvenience the general public.

[QUOTE=Led Zeppelin;26586179]These DDoS attacks are ridiculous and serve no purpose, other than to inconvenience the general public.[/QUOTE] Same could be said about actual protests but they get what they want, the attention of people to direct at a specific issue. holding up paypal and causing companies to lose millions of dollars an hour is a great way to get media coverage, and thus, attention.

[QUOTE=goon165;26586228]Same could be said about actual protests but they get what they want, the attention of people to direct at a specific issue.[/QUOTE] Perhaps, but I still think that it is horribly misguided, especially against PayPal. If anything, I think what they're doing could hurt the cause, as these attacks are made with malicious intent.

I am still here so I think this thread isn't going anywhere. For now. Anyway, OP is updated with recent news, I'm working on another large release post right now, will be up shortly. [editline]9th December 2010[/editline] :siren:OP is completely up to date on all wikileaks news!:siren:

Wonderful, now instead of simple stories in droplets, we're drowned in an ocean. I really think that the purpose of this thread is to undermine the wikileaks news articles.

And undermine the news articles? I never said stop posting new threads on wikileaks did I?

I thought this was another FUBAR admin megathread where we are ONLY allowed to post wikileaks in 1 thread topic. If this is just more of a database of news articles, then I'm all for it. Sorry if I came off as a douche.

Hezzy never got back to me on a single megathread idea, so I just made a thread that will hold all the news pertaining to Wikileaks and Assange, while of course giving credit to the original posters.

Fucking finally

This shouldn't have it's own thread, I don't want to pick through a dozen pages of bickering 12-year-olds just to see the next update on the situation.

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;26588832]This shouldn't have it's own thread, I don't want to pick through a dozen pages of bickering 12-year-olds just to see the next update on the situation.[/QUOTE] Pretty much my thoughts, all the threads are quite interesting as they are more focused on certain areas of the Wikileaks situation. It is a bit like having a science megathread and all news stories involving science have to be posted in there.

Wikileaks/Anon is a bunch of douches.

[QUOTE=Dogass;26589043]Wikileaks/Anon is a bunch of douches.[/QUOTE] You are twelve, shut the fuck up. Wikileaks is an amazing tool, and Anon is a douche/s.

It is a bit like having a science megathread and all news stories involving science have to be posted in there.[/QUOTE] Wikileaks is to ITN as RPS is to News Node In other words, I really don't want to sift through a ton of minor articles about Wikileaks every time I visit ITN

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;26588996]I'm not even going to explain myself again, read the thread on why this is here.[/QUOTE] Your reasoning is shitty, it boils down to "I don't want to hit the next page button ever". Wheres now if we want WL news, we have to try and pick through an obscenely large post (And soon an obscenely large thread) for headlines. Because you didn't even reserve the second, third, and fourth posts, you're quickly going to run out of space for new content. Soon content will be spread over pages and pages of discussion.

[QUOTE=RayDark;26589062]You are twelve, shut the fuck up. Wikileaks is an amazing tool, and Anon is a douche/s.[/QUOTE] How is it amazing?

This is just a repository of sorts to hold all of those articles, so people who don't want to search through pages can just look the OP.

[QUOTE=Dogass;26589235]How is it amazing?[/QUOTE] Back to your Xbox, I'm not explaining why if you cannot yet see.

[QUOTE=RayDark;26589297]Back to your Xbox, I'm not explaining why if you cannot yet see.[/QUOTE] Is it amazing because its going to get people killed? Fuck off.

[QUOTE=Dogass;26589316]Is it amazing because its going to get people killed? Fuck off.[/QUOTE] Its amazing because it leaks a whole lot of shit your adolescent mind will not grip itself around.

[QUOTE=5killer;26589284]No you aren't reading. He said it about twenty times. You can still post Wikileaks articles. This is just a repository of sorts to hold all of those articles, so people who don't want to search through pages can just look the OP.[/QUOTE] But then you have to search through like 20 pages of OP and old stories, and then eventually many pages of thread, which is far more difficult. [QUOTE=RayDark;26589279]Wait how do you reserve posts? Won't it just AM them?[/QUOTE] Usually just edit your main post a couple times to disable the automerge.

Thats exactly the problem. Its nothing to do with whether we know it or not, its whether a terrorist reads that shit and bombs the fuck out of us. Do you not see the dangers in that?

[QUOTE=Dogass;26589316]Is it amazing because its going to get people killed? Fuck off.[/QUOTE] No ones going to be killed, that was just the us government trying to turn people against wikileaks
