Actually its just the whole MUDKIPZ! LOLWTF!! people who scare me. I don't know about the rest of it.

And the anonymous people. I figured fox was making a big deal about it anyway. but I'm confused. Is 4chan the anonymous people?

It's hard to say really, but I would wager that some of them are. They do have the whole /i/ part on their site. Which stand s for invasion. And they did start the whole Habbo(or however it's spelled) Hotel invasion.

Tough to say, but I personally think so.

There's several anonymous image boards and the like on the Internet. That report kind of mixed them all together along with some other things and called it "Anonymous" mostly out of a lack of understanding and a need to push up the shock factor. They probably had a lot more information than they gave, but selective information hiding is a common tactic in today's news and media in order to play into people's emotions, and it's easy to justify under the guise of "protecting" people from harmful information like the names and addresses of these sites. It's kind of like theater...

dude, check our board. We don't have an /i/ board. We have /ic/ which is the critique board.

also, the habbo hotel was done because habbo hotel is racist. They completely missed the point of the raid.

Also, we don't condone CP or anything like that, though we joke like we do.

The reason I said I was proud is because We are now Fox's newest sensationalist bullshit report.

Seriously, they even gave away how stupid they were.

"After several DAYS of investigation..." Come on, Several days to unlock a massive hacker ring? total bullshit.

You are correct. There is no /i/ invasion tab. So they must ave photo shopped that I guess. My apologies.

Either way it's not going to change my opinion of the site. I've never liked it, nor will I ever like it. Simple as that.

Neither do I, I've heard that they post some pretty sick hentai on their boards =P.
Nontheless I just think it has a kind of..... "Ultimate evil" vibe to it. but yeah, fox may be overreacting.

yeah 420 chan had it, but most of the site shown was from 4chan. And of course, naturally, we just attacked this shit out of them for it.

as for the ultimate evil: yeah, but you can amazing dicussion out of them if you play it right: I have two full threads saved for a report on Opinion on East  manga growing more popular then Western cartoon. I've learned more about cars then I should have ever learned.

I think its all the present notions of the site itself. Granted, I'm not going to disagree with anybody here, I'm just saying: two sides to the coin.

No matter what that invasion crap is, it's all secondary to 4chan's real problem of being populated by scum of the earth nerds. Only a select few of the imageboards are free of the perpetually endless chain of worthlessness put out by antisocial cretins.

Went on 4chan for the first time, it looks like a mess. I'm sorry, but I don't understand why people go on it.

We? Did you bother adding to the DoS attack? Or do you feel that simply visiting and posting makes you accountable for what some of the people who visit the site do?

And then in the context of "4chan is evil" you immediately distance yourself. Why? Don't want the negative aspects to be associated with you? So it's okay to be associated when the news sensationalizes 4chan as a "cool, uber-hacker group", but the horrible, grotesque image swapping, the porn sharing, and all the senseless bullshit that makes up regular posting there has nothing to do with you, right?

It's either we or they. Choose one and stick to it.

Anyway, 4chan is 4chan; it's just a site, and an Internet mob is just a mob. DoS attacks and messing with MySpace accounts is trivial crap. None of that makes 4chan more than an anonymous bunch of (at best) everyday people emboldened by their own anonymity, and it certainly doesn't make them an underground organization of super hackers.

What the hell is 4chan?

I thought they were talking about ebaumsworld.com, which is the best site ever!

what the fuck are you talking about? I never distanced myself from that. I said it "yeah, I'm not going to bother trying to say 'na, we don't do that funky shit'". All I said was two sides to a coin: they're really fucking smart based on the subject they stay in, which is divided up on site. I'm not even going to try and hide that we have porn, gay porn, lesbian, and straight up nasty ass porn, hell I won't even try and hide the fact I've posted up in those threads, or the fact you can actually find me tripfaggin up in there. But talk to the guys in weapons or auto or tech, and its like speaking a brand new fucking language: their knowledge of cars/guns/computers because insane. Like I said: their assholes, but you CAN get a good conversation out of them.

Way to miss the point there, Ramsus.

The only reason I use they is because THEY do stuff, I just kinda sit back and watch because I don't even know when they raid things. Can't claim what you don't do.

The images of porn themselves are usually hardly the most grotesque part of 4chan. It's the users.
