[Charli]

If you really want some popcorn munching entertainment, check out this version of the story from Ars Technica:
The hackers hacked: main Anonymous IRC servers seized [http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/05/the-hackers-hacked-main-anonymous-irc-servers-seized.ars]
Isn't real-life something? I mean, you can't make this stuff up.

(mass snip)
There have always been separate groups of Anonymous members, but until now they were usually on the same side. The "core" of Anonymous is currently trying to regain control, but what happens after that is anyone's guess.
(snip)

Err... not exactly. The thing is, until now they usually just didn't take part in something if they weren't on the same side. Now they're actively attacking members of the other side.

People seem to be unaware that Anonymous has suffered from civil war before [http://boxxystory.blogspot.com/2009/01/rise-of-boxxy.html], and the last time lasted about 1-2 years. However, this was before various Anons were wanted individuals. So we'll see how quickly this conflict is crushed now the stakes are so high.

I guess that serves me right for not researching neck-beard history before opening my mouth. I was under the impression they were just calling each other names about some girl in makeup though.

That's exactly what happened, it started out just that stupid. Unfortunately, Anonymous' trolling nature simply caused it to snowball.

Plus, what are you implying? Are saying you don't care about the history of the basement dwelling neck-beards? What is this madness?!

Haha, I like your style.

I assumed all that happened was a bit of a split though, something about half leaving for 7chan. Never remembered anything about hacking each other's servers.

"dangerous" is a water downed word now sigh.

-Forms a new group within this thread-

Let the show begin

[Doom-Slayer]

For some reason, this reminds me of the Blood War... Lower Planes conflict is appropriate for this situation.

OT: Good. Again, never much a fan of Anon. Funny to watch though.
*grabs popcorn*

Cookie for Dnd reference. Nicely done good sir

 

[ReiverCorrupter]

Yeah, they've been talking about this on separate Anonymous-associated forums like whyweprotest.net for a few days now... I even saw someone posting "Ryan"'s address and what his house looks like on the forums. General reaction looks to be very much negative against "Ryan", at least within the WWP community (WWP being the main body of the anti-Scientologist aspect of Anonymous).

It seems to me that 'Ryan' is the one who is power hungry. If this was a general movement within Anonymous, then we wouldn't be hearing one guy's name. Why are Anonymous anti-Scientologist again? For the lulz, or because they're money hungry wierdos who take advantage of stupid people? Idk. If you're committed to keeping stupid people from making stupid decisions prepare for an endless battle that you can't win. I say focus on New Zealand.

Thank you, I didn't know how many people would get it.

OT: I find this funny. I really do. Anon fighting itself, when nether has true structure. I am wondering how this will end

It was a shitstorm of epic proportions. Moot had a bunch of words even remotely related to Boxxy set to automatically permaban, and even then 4chan was crippled, dancing on and off for at least a month.

 

[instantbenz]

I guess you can say Anonymous...
*slips on shades*
doesn't know who it is anymore...

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH(dun dun-uh)

either way, I think there will be some poor decisions made by both sides in a civil war like this. People will be found, people will be arrested, and hopefully information will be found that gets a boot in the ass of whoever took my psn info! [end pity party]

Anonymous member NAMED Ryan?

He ain't anonymous.

I know I would have picked a cooler name than Ryan if I was on that site like Hermit or Loki or anything that can be associated with an actual name.

On the point of why we protest against them, a bit of both really at least for me - Scientology is a cult that scams people out of vast amounts of money, and should be protested against, and also the people who go to the protest are cool guys and fun to hang out with.

Of course stupid people will make stupid decisions - what we're trying to do is stop smart, perfectly normal people from having their lives ruined by the 'church' due to ignorance about what the church is. We're trying to spread publicity about what the church exactly is and, through that, convince people to stay away from the church and rob it of its financial stability.

Oh btw, when I say "we" I mean the part of Anonymous that is targeting the Church of Scientology. I, personally, am not involved in any way with other Operations done in Anonymous' name, and have no intention in getting involved with them either

 

[conflictofinterests]

Stupid tripfags ruining it for everyone...

Anyways, it was probably inevitable. Power corrupts, and all.

 

[AgentNein]

Could anyone do me a solid and created an animated movie based around anon, but replace fat hackers with like, space ships and shit? That might be fun to watch or hear about.

 

[xXDeMoNiCXx]

THIS is why I always laughed at Anon's cocky, "we are invincible justice and anyone who disagrees with us in the slightest way will be destroyed because we are God of the Internet" attitude. The joke is now on them.

Meh. I guess we're arguing semantics about what it means to be stupid. I also suppose that the Scientologists must be pretty adept at 'gradual initiation' (some would call it brainwashing) if they can convince many people about Zenu or Xenu or whatever it is.

As long as you're primarily focused on spreading information about Scientology and not suppressing what the scientologists say, then I don't mind. I'm not actually sure whether temporarily hijacking someone's website to get a message out is a violation of free speech. Probably a little. Be careful where you draw the line. But you should seriously look into the New Zealand thing, it's completely unacceptable. I'm not a hacker so I can't do anything about it.

I'm sure there's probably over a thousand 'Loki's. Loki is just that cool.

Probably because he just does things for the lulz and is a massive troll

See kids...this is why anarchy doesn't work.
