[QUOTE=mr apple;37020924]it's not a huge organization[/QUOTE] Youtube porn day. Must've taken quite a large amount of people.
Welp, I guess they enjoy being hacked and DDoSed 24/7.

[QUOTE=Drsalvador;37021333]if you release anything ever, some bastard will try to bleed money out of it.[/QUOTE] Take EA for example.
[QUOTE=Erfly;37021110]Youtube porn day. Must've taken quite a large amount of people.[/QUOTE] youtube porn day took a lot of people, not a lot of skill.
[QUOTE=horsedrowner;37019831]I have a hard time imagining why a company would want "Anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us." as slogan.[/QUOTE] So they can make money off of the next dozen or so real-life anonymous protests?
[QUOTE=krazipanda;37021469]youtube porn day took a lot of people, not a lot of skill.[/QUOTE] It would've made more sense to quote mr apple, my bad.
For once, I do hope Anonymous does something. It's pretty dickish to take the logo and slogan of an organisation (regardless of how seriously the world takes them) and try to make money from it. If nothing else, it smacks of "we can't be arsed to come up with anything ourselves, so we will just steal ideas from other people".
[QUOTE=Erfly;37021110]Youtube porn day. Must've taken quite a large amount of people.[/QUOTE] Yeah, a bunch of idiots on 4chan. They were spamming it everywhere on their shithaven.
[QUOTE=GameDev;37020450]The good new about this is if you're wearing an anon shirt you're not actually a part of anon why would you ever wear a shirt advertising a group that's members are hidden from the public[/QUOTE] Well if you're a conspiracy theorist, it makes perfect sense.
This will only end badly for the french company.
This is not going to end up good.
Gotta get my stylish anonymous handbag! [i]soooo trendy[/i]
[QUOTE=krazipanda;37020976]that's where you're wrong, sure there are a lot of skids and morons in there, but sometimes they do things that require more knowledge than that (Monday mail mayhem anyone)[/QUOTE] No, that's where you're wrong. Anon isn't an organization. It's what a small group of people use as a banner head for quick popularity.
If they go for it they will get all the traffic they dreamed of
[QUOTE=mr apple;37022393]No, that's where you're wrong. Anon isn't an organization. It's what a small group of people use as a banner head for quick popularity.[/QUOTE] You're very wrong(when you say that it's a small group of people). It's basically just a name to put behind things that people from a forum do. Though there is no official group, there are a large quantity of people that do the events (or at least some of them) You disagree with me when I say that Monday mail mayhem must have required some brains, when they stole a federal database of Emails. That's no easy feat at all.
I know they're trying to be cool and edgy and mysterious or whatever but I cannot take a 360p video with crappily made effects and renders and using both [B]microsoft sam[/B] and footage of some guy in black and a fawkes mask with scanlines and shit all over it seriously I just I know they have their causes and shit but I can't take them seriously with those videos

[QUOTE=Amez;37023075]That's why I don't get why people are so quick to label them as script kiddies, even though many of them may be just that, there are some that are rather experienced in what they're doing.[/QUOTE] Because they want to dismiss them as fast as they possibly can because that's the easiest thing. Also I think it makes people feel badass to say "pfft those guys are morons" When media is like "omfg anonymous everyone be afraid omg omg"
no homo but I like what Anonymous represents as a whole They can pull off wikileaks shit without the bottleneck of being one guy
[QUOTE=Aphtonites;37019881]I'm starting to get pretty pissed off at the intense internet culture commercialization that's been going on for about two years now.[/QUOTE] What you mean you don't like those cool and hip young kids running around with "You mad bro" shirts? Hilarious. Grade A+ Comedy.
I hope they get they get the trademark, maybe then anon will have to get a better slogan.
I hope that what follows shall mirror the "Oh Internet" saga of Encyclopedia Dramatica.
