4chan taken down in retaliation attack for Visa, Mastercard hacks - Polidicks

I was wondering why /sci/ wasnt loading

Well, 4chan is up for me, so I don't know

[QUOTE=Zondac;27056685]Well, 4chan is up for me, so I don't know[/QUOTE] I got a little loading problems but that was it. it lasted way less then 24 hours for me.

[QUOTE=Neverkanever;27055909]I remember reading yesterday that 4chan had been down earlier in the day due to a DDoS by another imageboard, 7chan, I think. The DDoS was supposedly discussed on 7chans /b/. I don't know if the two events are connected, or if what I read was wrong, but it may have just been some pals pal'in around.[/QUOTE] 7chan is orders of magnitude smaller than 4chan - they don't have anywhere near the resources to DDoS 4chan they're only twice the size of us

let's hope that horrible website stays down

/v/ and /a/ are working for me.

[QUOTE=MAspiderface;27058138]/v/ and /a/ are working for me.[/QUOTE] I dont think its down anymore. [editline]29th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=makingthatmaker;27058084]let's hope that horrible website stays down[/QUOTE] whats with the hate 4chan bandwagon? not all of 4chan is /b/ well /v/ is pretty bad but there are places in 4chan that are even nicer then facepunch.

[QUOTE=>VLN<;27053817]I wouldn't be surprised if it was the US government.[/QUOTE] you're joking right you think the government gives two shits about 4chan?

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;27058303]you're joking right you think the government gives two shits about 4chan?[/QUOTE] I'm sure some branch of the american government cares just a little bit about their activities and with good reason

[QUOTE=Doriol;27058329]I'm sure some branch of the american government cares just a little bit about their activities and with good reason[/QUOTE] yea but doing a bad ddos for about half a day isnt going to do much.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;27056459]Irony is when you expect an outcome and a condtradictory outcome occurs, NOT when anything you didn't expect happens. The guys from 4chan set out to DDoS Mastercard and VISA and they were successful. Having someone DDoS them in retribution is not ironic. Because knowing the definition of irony makes me a narcisistic prick, right? I'm just sick of people seeing ANYTHING and going "lol irony", when most of the time it isn't. I'm not pretending to be deep and intellectual, I never said I was and never meant to imply I was.[/QUOTE] That made me laugh pretty hard. Anyways, this is news I suppose but.. it's nothing too special. I hope 4chan DOES figure out who did it against them.. the pissing contest would be fun to watch.

[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;27058366]yea but doing a bad ddos for about half a day isnt going to do much.[/QUOTE] the goverment DDoSing 4chan didn't even come to mind when I was posting so whatever

[QUOTE=Wii60;27053827]But 4Chan didn't do it, Anonymous did.[/QUOTE] It's like what america did. al qaeda attacked america so we attacked afghanistan.

[QUOTE=mysteryman;27058496]It's like what america did. al qaeda attacked america so we attacked afghanistan.[/QUOTE] Al-Qaeda is not a country.

[QUOTE=DrKinkyKinkles;27058668]Al-Qaeda is not a country.[/QUOTE] that's the point lol anonymous is not a website, 4chan is

[QUOTE=Levithan;27053813]oh no we better find someone that gives a crap![/QUOTE] Oh no another person who takes things personally!

[QUOTE=O'10er;27059315][url]http://anonymous.com/[/url] :haw:[/QUOTE] shut up

[quote]Many members of 4Chan work together in the guise of a group called Anonymous to carry out attacks on websites they deem to be enemies of freedom of speech.[/quote] [B]AN ACCURATE NEWS ARTICLE THAT ISN'T FULL OF BULLSHIT AND REMAINS NEUTRAL ON THE ISSUE?[/B] Surely you jest! Oh wait, it's by the BBC, the shining beacon in the swamp of media

And nothing of value was lost.

how many times has 4chan been taken down now?

They are actually already high on tail of the guy DDoS'ing 4chan, apparently a guy named "Jester". Yup, just one guy. He's beyond the term "fucking boned"

I think it's back up now, not that anyone cares. [editline]29th December 2010[/editline] [url]http://status.4chan.org/[/url] It's back :saddowns:

Yay, 4chan is down. If only it was forever

I find 420chan better.

Okay, I'm not gonna support 4chan, but I like the idea of REAL free-speech. It really is something you only can achieve on the internet, and I like that. 4chan is just good at misusing it

[QUOTE=TheLaw;27061530]I find 420chan better.[/QUOTE] 420chan is for stoners. God do i wish to get a unbanned IP to go back to 4chan.

Up again already. Back to /m/.
