4chan declares war on ifpi and DdoSs it.

[RetiarySword]

This will be fun!

Oh... Shit...
What would happen if they actually took 4Chan down?

I'm not sure.
I want to say "The internet would be a better place," but something worse would most likely pop up eventually.

Not really - imagine the flood of subhuman scum being poured away from 4chan and onto the rest of us. Better to keep them all in one bucket and out of the way.

As much as I hate to admit it, 4chan is pretty untouchable. They've got some of the biggest nerds in the world over there. And on the internet, nerddom is power. For the ifpi to take down 4chan would be like a lion trying to wrestle a great white shark. It may be fearsome on land, but try beating the shark in its own element and it's going down. That said, they won't get them taken down either. Nothing will come of it.

Also, they're only causing periodic and half-assed harm as it is now. Imagine giving them something to unite about, heh. Don't wake them up.

Finally some good coming out of pirate bays closure. The end of 4Chan, rejoice brothers for time of prophecy is at hand. We the chosen few will inherit the internet, as those who followed the ways of the fourchan will be cleansed.

Your post count says you've been here a while.

But your words say you're awfully naive.

Obviously someone dosen't believe in the prophecy.

Yup.

I'd say that most of the posters above and below you don't believe either.

I DON'T CARE EITHER B/C I DOESN'T AFRAID OF ANY MEME!

And lo I am not the other posters for as it was written in a CERFNET bathroom almost twenty years ago.

"And Lo, behold, for the Lord is powerful and great. Though many will in tern be corrupted by the ways of the internet the few shall perservere. Though this day may not be forthcoming when those who have sucumbed will behold the true extent of their shortcommings and will be purged from said internet. Then for those few faithful, they will inherit the internet and then there will be muffins, of blueberry chocolate and flavours unbeknownst to man."

Ok, noob question incoming but...

What the heck is 4chan or /b/?

I read alot about both of them but never there is any explenation about what or who they are. Any of your dear fellows that can explain it to me?

Ok... You know in starwars, where the guy says 'you'll never find a greater hive of scum'? Thats 4chan, with everyone being anonymous, so they can be as shitty as they like without reprisal. Oh, and hardcore porn, child porn, more disgusting images, etc.

I'm still waiting for Anonymous to take down Scientology.

To be honest... I don't agree. Every war in history, including the gurellia ones, have ultimately boiled down to money and supply lines. Supply lines aren't really applicable in this case, so we're left with money. There is simply too much money involved for the IFPI to back away, and too much for 4chan to fight against in the courts. In the same way people reckoned pirate bay was untouchable, the same with 4chan.

Sadly, I believe 4chan will be shutdown - why sadly, you may ask?

"And Io, it was inscribed on the post-it note of cubical 7B, that when the great sewer of the internet was closed, the waste of the world began to flood the rest of the internet, scum and monsters spreading out across previously safe networks. Io, without their lair, the scum were restless and rose over the internet, destroying all in their path. So it was written, so it shall be"

I honestly couldn't give a rats ass in regards to this, 4chan users "roughly organized" for an "attack" that won't be remembered in a week. They won't do anything else, they barely ever do anything The site doesn't contain the morons that accumulate there, and if the site closes, yes I'm sure there will be a spike of trolling in other online communities, but it'll die down. 4Chan isn't a disease, it isnt an army, it isnt anything worth recognition. It's just a place online that complete imbeciles go to talk big, and get their nasty kicks. They don't exist in society like they do on those boards, because if they tried like that anywhere but 4chan, they have the harsh realities of life to smack them into the pavement.
If this site goes down, we won't lose any freedoms or rights some of the posters pretend to fight for, there will just be a sad bunch of lonely people, suddenly without their only connection to others like them.

Even if 4chan is taken out, the damage has been done. Every forum I go onto there is the spirit of 4chan in 'at least' a few of the members.

 

[Gladion]

Oh... Shit...
What would happen if they actually took 4Chan down?

I'm not sure.
I want to say "The internet would be a better place," but something worse would most likely pop up eventually.

Not really - imagine the flood of subhuman scum being poured away from 4chan and onto the rest of us. Better to keep them all in one bucket and out of the way.

Now that ten or so people have said the same thing, I have decided it is time to point out my one and only counter-point:
Let us imagine each /b/tard as a drop of water.
Together, they make a flood. They can perform feats like raids and such.
Alone, they are a single raindrop, incapable of doing more than being moderately annoying.
<color=white>If anyone points out a flaw in this argument I have no counterpoint. *crosses fingers*

lol@hidden message!
Anyways, one of them might be just a single drop, but a very shouty, annoying drop. Though it should be pretty easy to get rid of those, i.e. banning them. I think you might be right, but you never know...

I hope you're right...

...sneakly! I like! Anyway, I think its possible that 4chan members made break into splitter groups if they see this coming - each with enough abilities to do harm.... but on the bright side, I doubt if such groups could last long - 4chan's tolerate each other only because they can remain anonymous, heh.

 

[Vauban]

Why are we meant to care again..?

I mean, didn't they just crowd onto a site until the server crashed...thats nothing special, now if they hacked their website - that would be news worthy.

Didn't they DDoS their own site when boxxy was plaguing it?

Imagine your city dump being blown up. The place is gone but the stench still manages to find its way to your nose.

And all the bigots who had lived there spread to one to each household.

The domain of 4chan can be taken down, sure thing. The people inhabiting it won't. Good luck to the ifpi locating them all, let alone charging them in court. It's not the domain name that's the threat, it's the lowlives who inhabit it.

The pirate bay is untouchable. The issue's not even decided yet, it only went through Tingsrätten yet - and in practise that ruling means nothing. There are way more court processes in store for the future before the case reaches the Supreme Court. And hell, even if they'd get convicted in the Supreme Court, it wouldn't matter to the site. The servers have already been relocated to another country, and it doesn't matter how much they fine the owners. They won't see a penny from it anyway.
