Oh wow that's sooooooo menacing. Seriously I don't think that I could ever take their raids seriously. I mean I was a lurker on 4chan during a couple of them and they've never done anything beyond shit posting or downvoting. It's kind of lacking it seems. I want to see them actually DO something... I don't know, maybe it's just me and the fact that I view 4chan as a rabid animal.

I saw a greentext detailing one of their many raids on 9gag. Alpha team was in charge of shitposting and voting for shitposts to get them to the top. Bravo team was in charge of DDoSing. When 9gag tried to retaliate with the same shit, it failed miserably. Shitposting on /b/ is normally just called posting, and a 4chan user gave all of 9gag instructions to DDoS itsself. In the words of the user himself: ">4channer gave 9gag the wrong coordinates."

Althoug it isn't too extravagant, it serves its purpose. Kind of like humming in your sibling's ear for a while. You aren't doing anything damaging, just annoying them. And 9gag users are EASILY annoyed.

Haha that's actually kind of funny that they got 9gag to dox itself. One of the last things I heard on Reddit was that 4chan was planning to dox Tumblr, which I think I might stick around long enough to see. Well, it's actually the "SJW" component of Tumblr talking about doing "doxing" 4chan, but I think we both know that it will end the same way as it did with 9gag lol

I honestly believe that Tumblr would have too little "doxing" knowledge to do anything even vaguely successful due to the fact they are mainly compiled of keyboard feminists, SJWs, and edgy teenagers who reblog self harm gifs and good porn

Yeah you're right, porn seems to be the only good thing on Tumblr.

I think you got DDoSing and doxing mixed up. Or do you mean they were trying to out each other's real life identities?

havires  ·  3589 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I might have gotten them mixed up, I'll edit my post accordingly. Thanks for bringing that up.

I've been on the internet forever and 4chan has never been interesting. Just a bunch of dumbass wannabe-edgy neckbeards.

You must've missed their Imperial Guard raid on Facebook, them taking over naming the new Mountain Dew flavor, them getting 9Gag to DDoS themselves (as already stated), them raiding that Tayor Swift contest so the guy could meet her, and a whole bunch of other stuff. They're like that really annoying sibbling that likes to screw around with you without actually doing any damage.

GenghisKhan  ·  3588 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I remember all of those things. I was there.

Yeah i missed all of this, i guess that's a good comparison.
