4chan, not TSM, is the crotch rot of the Internet, but oh boy, this is going to be fun. Lulz for all.

Shit just got real?

"Hey, there's this website which is a massive gathering of hackers, sociopaths, and general malcontents. They love viciously attacking people and organizations, sometimes just for the hell of it. They've got a long and varied history of causing significant damage to those whom have drawn their malignant attention. They would be a legitimately dangerous group to anger.

...HEY /B/TARDS, WE FUCKED ALL YOUR MOTHERS, YOU BITCHES!"

Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Even if AT&T did win the war, which is probably the most likely outcome, it's still a fight they didn't need to pick.

Supposedly AT&T has given up, and unblocked 4chan per this update:

And 4chan is under a DDoS attack as well. This is pretty entertaining.

The Internet meme "Rickroll", where a link is given to a seemingly relevant website only to be directed to a music video of singer Rick Astley's pop single "Never Gonna Give You Up", has been used as a theme in the protests against Scientology.[79][80] At February 10 protests in New York, Washington, D.C., London and Seattle, protesters played the song through boomboxes and shouted the phrase "Never gonna let you down!", in what The Guardian called "a live rick-rolling of the Church of Scientology".[81] In response to a website created by Scientologists showing an anti-Anonymous video, Project Chanology participants created a website with a similar domain name with a video displaying the music video to "Never Gonna Give You Up".[81]

What the hell is 4chan?

What the hell is 4chan?

The internet's biggest cunt factory.

What the hell is 4chan?

It's an anonymous image board that covers..well, just about anything. The infamous part of it is the /b/ (random) board, which like Youth N Asia says, is the internet's biggest cunt factory.

The rest of the boards range from troll fodder to decent.

 

[Sabre]

the /gif/ board is all sorts of awsome.

I'll admit to frequenting 4chan. Its something to do when you are bored and nothing honestly better to do.

Though its got nothing on the original number chan, which is 2chan. It has 2 guro boards. For those that don't know, guro means chopped up bodies, bloody deceased beings, and other dismemberment pictures. Now think about it. It has not one, but TWO of them. Figure that one out.

Though 4chan's about as bad somehow.

 

[griffinmills]

Chans are great for keeping up on internet phenomenon and memes... and porn too I guess. >_>

It gets a bit overwhelming if you don't stay addicted so I tend to not pop in there much anymore. Now I usually have to check Encyclopedia Dramatica when I get confused by e-speak and forum memes.

 

[Obi Chris Kenobi]

Ergh, that chan board is full of shite and suspect pictures.

 

[Kageho]

Ergh, that chan board is full of shite and suspect pictures.

Isn't that the point of all types of board?

 

[Obi Chris Kenobi]

Well, those chan boards are awful, probably the worst boards I've ever seen on the internet. Makes this place look like high quality boarding with people with doctorates, noble awards and Time People of the Year nominations.

It is /b/eautiful. It is love. Give in. If only for the "Raff & Ruse" threads.
