> 4chan is down because of DDoS attacks, stemming from a bunch of guys that are angry that moot doesn't want to move #4chan to lulznet.
-Kirtaner (of 420chan).
No real reasons to distrust this information, really. Let's hope it didn't hit 'em too hard. I must say, with the traffic that 4chan get, it must have been one fucking tidal wave of a DDOS.
4chan was just up, now it's down again.
Or am I finally losing it?
>>60
But about 20 minutes ago, it was up again. What the hell?
SPOILERS!
The rules of /b/ were created by people that were new to /b/!
Have a nice day, kids.
>>62
Oldfags don't bother with /b/ anymore. They've all moved on to less shitty boards.
All of this Habbo Hotel, raiding and general "Internet Army" faggotry is all due to the newfags. Their actions in turn attract more newfags of the worst sort.
My duties as an Official Internet Monitor include reviewing the crashes of sites like 4chan. I must now issue the official notice that 4chan is up. Post tits and cocks. You must POAST JENNY TALS!
4chan appears to be down once more.
>>57
I can't tell if you're a troll or just a faggot.
cho0b: Only blocks can be null-routed (minimum a /5 but depends). All 4chan has is 3 IPs.
You're right about the rules.. /b/ has ZOMG NO RULES!
Anyway, if this is really a DDoS, and 4chan manages to intermittently come back during the attack, then it's very weak. Counting with 0.5 mbit as an average upload speed, one only needs 200 zombies to saturate 100 mbit. Small botnets start at 10000..
>>70
No, 4chan has much more than 3 IPs.
Off the top of my head:
team.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.163
yotsuba.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.165
www.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.166
-- also aliased to 4chan.org and mail.4chan.org
orz.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.168
tmp.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.169
zip.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.176
img.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.181
dat.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.182
fuuka.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.185
cgi.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.186There's more (IIRC, 4chan owns everything from 66.207.165.160 to .190 or so) but those are just what I can think of in 15 seconds.
this is getting me pissed off. wtf is 4chan down for again! anonymous does not forgive.
Missing /an/ here...
is this lulznet? must we attack their IRC servers? Who do I attack.!? I want blood and retribution.
(Cross-posted from iichan because it sums this up niceley.)
Lets put this as clear and simple as possible.
One, this whole OMG YOU RAID ME I RAID YOU business is as retarded as it gets, topped only by what started this whole mess. A bunch of what, 17 year old kids whining about IRC? Please.
Two, this will be over in due time. Idiots get bored fast.
Three, there is no point in attacking any single IP address. There is no point in trying to counter a distributed denial of service attack with another one. That helps no one.
The people who would actually suggest something like that should probably get off iichan, and go back to whatever hole they creeped out of.
(Also, DDoSing a site does not make you an 31337 h4x0r. All that you need for this is a distinct lack of a life, giving you enough time to figure out how to use one of several readily available tools. [See also >>70])
Tobin Bridge was right.
Apparently 4chan is to be turned off and left. Moot will move on to other things.
I would hope that moot would be smart enough to sell 4chan and try to get some money out of the whole thing rather than just shutting it down.
>>82
I think not! But I wouldn't be terribly sad if all those new dipshits finally had to go back to gaia and myspace.
>>83
No one in their right mind would buy that site.
Although there's lots of people who aren't in their right mind...

>>85 I bet you could sell the domain to GoldenPalace.com or something.
lulz, anonymous, you are such a loser.
>Apparently 4chan is to be turned off and left. Moot will move on to other things.
WHAT?!?! Who told you this?
>Look for an official announcement regarding this soon.
Oh, I will. Until then, I'm not trusting that shit as far as I can throw it.
Every other chan was doing better when 4chan was down.
I don't believe it would work out. There would be a subsequent shitstorm with every /b/tard trolling every other board on the site. /b/ always responds to everything in the most idiotic ways. New reporting system? Time to post lots of CP to test it out. And whenever the board switches to and from forced anonymous, there's an uproar.
Truth. If you were a regular on any other /b/ board, you saw what happened when 4chan went down. "it's where we keep the retards" sums up 4chan /b/ pretty well.
That said, however, >>95 has a point. There were some points in time when it was actually a good thing for the slow boards. Sometimes even for a whole hour at a time...
There's another thread here somewhere about "4chan should split the /b/ board". I guess we sort of have an idea what would happen. And that some people there now actually know that there are other boards, so that maybe we're a little closer to that. (having multiple boards)
Or something. I'm tired...
>>98
Remember when the main content of /b/ was "witty" Photoshop threads? When Cock Mongler and Happy Negro were the first of these so called "memes"? When most /b/ posters were disgruntled ex-SA goons?
Nowadays /b/ is so fast and dumb the only things that remains are camwhores, shitty copypaste trolls and memes stolen from GameFAQs.
>>99
moot recently changed the flood limits on /b/, supposedly to slow the board down. Smart, but I still think he's going about it the wrong way, and making a second /b/ (and not linking the original one anymore from the front page, or even mentioning that this happened for that matter -- so that people who just cruise into 4chan and click "random" don't stumble on it and start being retarded) would be a much better solution. Oldschool /b/tards (who presumably have img.4chan.org/b/ bookmarked directly) would keep posting, and the newfags would get their own board to fag up.... but eventually the newfag board would shit out a gold nugget and it'd carry over to the "old" /b/ by those obsessive compulsive people who visit every board because they have nothing else to do.
>by those obsessive compulsive people who visit every board because they have nothing else to do.
Just as I was starting my daily rounds on all the various chan-related boards, too.. oh god it hurt me deep.
Speaking of daily rounds, there's something new (and on topic) over at http://www.geocities.com/kakamafive/botlog.htm
Sounds like someone will be getting a visit from the party van sooner than later.
>>101 Hmm, and subeta is down. Looks like they're not kidding!
> 13:50:29 - [Trapdoor] odds are we just nullrouted the isp subeta is on
Hey look, they learned a new word!
Fucking script kiddies.
> [Luk0r] i just need to figure out how google's javascript shit works
Yeah, document.f.q.focus() is some pretty hardcore shit.
well, they just hit freenode pretty hard -- attacked the main hubs and split the network into several pieces. freenode staff are now arguing over whether it was a ddos or not.
>>106
this log is from before the attacks on 4chon, I think
so maybe the 18th or 19th
>>100
The problem with hiding the original /b/ and making a new one is someone will post something like "Hey, guys here's a link to the superior /b/!"
>>109
Of course, and people also spam various other imageboards all the time, but they still don't get nearly the level of traffic.
I think moot is on the right path.
>>110
actually futaba has 5 /b/s, most of which are not linked. All of them still get a ton of traffic due to people still knowing they exist and that they are linked at other places. The same would happen if 4chan did the same thing.
Um...hey guys its down again any idea what happened this time?
i miss my /b/,/tg/ hell i just miss my 4chan
:o
Incidentally, merging all the chan sites sounds like a terrible idea. It would only serve to dilute the combined userbase and make the whole thing even more mainstream. It would actually be better to destroy 4chan entirely than to create a such a mountain of fail.
>>117
Those script kiddies are going to face the wrath of several thousand angry Anonymous once 4chan comes back. It won't be pretty.
did it for the lulz?
MOTHA FWUACKA I SHALL KEEEEL YOUU
this is going to make 4chan so much more popular.
any publicity is good publicity.
At first I was: =|, but then I lol'd =D
I'll be honest. I dont care too much. I would like to see some more of pedobears crazy antics though...
Look on Digg, 4chan got HACKED!! story has 2300+ diggs.
I think I know where the newfag invasion is coming from.
what the shit... :(

/b/rothers and /b/itches, is this truly the end of Anonymous?
I hope this is not the end :( I sure moot will recover within a few days!

god I hope so, I want to go outside
Update (1:48:00 PM EST ~ 15/12/2007):
We have been in contact with "Moot's fake lawyer" and are in close contact with the 4chan administration. We are working together to find a common solution to this immense dilemma.
We appreciate the cooperation of all the individuals associated with this website, and urge you to remain steadfast and patient while we work to expeditiously resolve this matter.
If there is one thing that our company has learned from this is trust 4chan, its members and its administration more than your own clients, as we have been deceived and mislead; however, after speaking with the 4chan administration are very happy with the way this is heading.
Glexia is prepared, due to the circumstances and members of the owners of diditforthelulz.com impersonation of chief officers in our company to cooperate with 4chan.

http://www.petitiononline.com/4chanzor/
This should be a good front for us to convene and discuss this at.
Disguised as a normal petition, lulz
> 5. An /i/ board.
FUCK THAT.
/i/ is the root of all that is stupid, newfags, stupid forced memes from underage idiots, and most importantly, it is the cancer that killed /b/ and 4chan.
Also, wtf is the point of that? Right here seems to be a perfectly fine place to discuss if you ask me.
If there was a seperate /i/ and /b/ than the idiocy would remain seperate.
>>146
I think it would be a better idea if every /i/ user and 90% of 4chan's /b/ users died in a fire.
>>145
What he said.
Actually pulling an April Furs Day with an /i/ board should fix problems.
Did you forget /b/day?
Acknowledged separation could have prevented that, because an /i/ would give newfag invasionists a place seperate from /b/ to gay up.
Then we could have our /b/ back to the way it was, faceless and nameless instead of people trying to become famous for all the stupid publicity they brought /b/ in the first place.
/gif/ probably killed it with it's AIDS
I wish I could punch in the face every person who only go on the internet to talk about 'newfags', 'epic lulz', 'nigra /b/rothers', 'memes', 'rule 1|2|34', and basically all that big internet fight thing.
When /b/ started on 4chan, it was some sort of internet comedy club for intelligent adults acting like retarded kids.
Now it's only populated by retarded kids acting like the retarded kids they are, posting everyday the exact same 10 threads.
What's the tenth one?
>>144
Interesting how so many other things look like anonymous discussion boards once you think about it..
What's been going on in 4chan these past days, anyway? Last I checked someone claimed to have taken possession of the domain and changed it to some vBulletin crap. Now it seems to be working again. Did moot give blow jays or are they under new management or something?
