> 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.
>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?
Oh guys, fuck up, all of yu bunch'cha queers.
Go get stuffed.
THE SITE isn't down, all faggots are banned, DDoS WILL NEVAR KILL US
WE NEVER FORGIVE
WE NEVER FORGET
lol internet
naw, 7chan's up. 4 is down. not sure bout other, dont go there...
i think the party van will have some work soon.....
if 4chan goes down for good, there will just be another anyway.
last i heard it was 4nontalk doing it.
now it seems r4idchan has joined the party and is raping all chans they can think of...
nothing new from them... all the main chans are down and out and some of the lesser ones are either hiding under their alt. DNS or taking a nap
>>166,167
Actually the guy who runs AT has been found, since he had his other personal site hosted on the same residential IP as AT. 22-year-old living in Stockholm. From Googling his name, finds out he has DDoSed other (non-*chan) sites before, so he probably had the capability to do this attack.
I just got an email from a panicking Anon who sent emails out to the top *chan administrators. Calm the fuck down, seriously. You are acting like this doesn't happen five fucking times a month.
4chan is down again fuuuuuuuck
>Once again a dumb group of individuals has taken it upon themselves to DDoS a bunch of imageboards into oblivion for no real reason, and once again we really find ourselves not giving a flying fuck. Youfd think people would figure it out by now, nobody really cares, nobody is going to give a rats ass about your own shitty chan site, and youfre likely going to get reamed sometime in the near future by the small collective that actually do give a shit. (http://blog.420chan.org/)
is this the new /everything/?
Wow... do these guys really take themselves seriously? If not, then I lol'ed, but if they do it's just sad, the only people who will care that the chans are down are the people who just sit on there all day and act like idiots, that we don't want anyway. Thanks for taking out our trash for us
casual /b/tard was here
internet tough guys is a loser
i live in raleigh, just a couple of miles from morrisville. i'm gonna go egg his house, brb.
Scientology, took out 4chan. They did it to get back about their servers!
They do not forgive, they do not forget!
Those hooligans at ebaumsworld are likely behind the recent downage of 4chan. I heard that they raided some place and claimed it was us! How dare they taint the good name of 4chan's /b/ with their dastardly acts.
What the hell is with all the blame on raidchan? We already figured out that the Swedish guy who runs AT has DDoSed sites in the past. His personal website is on the same home connection as AT, sharing the same server and IP.

internationsl phone calls are too expensive for the typical /b/tard (13 years old, no job).
I vote we resort to end-twenty-minutes-of-The-Godfather tactics; simultaniously raiding anyone who could possibly have conspired to deprive us of precious lulz. That or, I 'unno, wait 'til 4Chan is back up. This shit happens near-constantly, it'll be over soon.
The streets will flow with the blood of those who are doing this to our beloved /b/. When we find you, YOU WILL PAY AND WE WILL HAVE OUR MUDDERFUCKING LULZ DO YOU HEAR ME TETSUO !!
/yawn
/b/ will be full of "lol ddos" threads for a few weeks adding to the stupid now. Can't be much worse then the normal stupid though can it?
Also, cocks.
>>192
So don't go to /b/ dumbass, theres only like 20 other boards on 4chan.
Anyway, this may actually last a long time, now it seems the 4chanstatus blog page is down, the last time I read it, moot said he was still fending off constand DDoS attacks.
If it comes to the worst thing possible, 4chan gets hosted somewhere else, moot still owns the domain name so it will most likely still be 4chan.org, just be directed to a different server.
That's what I see comming, or at least as a temp untill the attacks stop.
I'd also like to point out, 4chan isn't the only site. I know OverChan(2.o at least) was down for a day or two, and plenty other more populor -ch.
I miss my elitist, stuck up /mu/. ;_;
I miss my pretentious /tv/.
i miss /a/ and FUCK :
The site is still down due to an ongoing DDoS attack.
Remember kids: DDoS is cruise control for cool.
UPDATE: Well, we're still down. Unfortunately, there is very little (read: nothing) that can be done about a 3-5Gbit DDoS attack.
Motherfucking /ck/ I miss you. There is no other /ck/ that I know of :(
Looks like /a/ will miss Geass Sunday if this continues.
There's no real reason to do this.... I am bored and want to surf my imageboard.
>>187
The IRC logs are suitable proof that it's raidchan.
To everyone saying we need to raid or DDoS them back, STFU. This is not the time for stupid, script-kiddie tactics. These morons will get what's coming to them soon enough. Be patient, and stay out of the way while the big boys do their thing.
>4chan isn't the only site. I know OverChan(2.o at least) was down for a day or two, and plenty other more populor -ch.
To enumerate: 420chan is also down, and they've been attacking ED, 7chan, 12chan, and anonib with varying success, too.
> To everyone saying we need to raid or DDoS them back, STFU. This is not the time for stupid, script-kiddie tactics. These morons will get what's coming to them soon enough. Be patient, and stay out of the way while the big boys do their thing.
May I add to that that you do not post personal details about anybody here. Seriously, people, grow the fuck up.
