Disgruntled Anonymous Faction Maliciously Attacks Anonymous

[Plurralbles]

okay, if they're going to go about having names and having "factions"

I really wish they'd relinquish "Anonymous".

It's just romanticism bullshit at this point.

Figures. They try and make a "leaderless" collective and then a guy tries to take control (either way, someone was attempting to seize power here). I just hope this tears their organization apart. I've been getting quite sick of them and their support of GeoHot.

Ba ha ha ha ha, wait wait.....ba ha ha ha ha ha!

The people behind "AnonOPs" were starting to feed their own egos with PR and stuff. The whole SonyOPs thing was never popular with everyone (esp these guys that revolted, apparently), so they decided to try and break the whole thing up, with the hope that people would splinter off and go back to being truly anonymous, and not constantly trying to get PR, attract idiotic script kiddes to irc, etc. The guys that did it gave a pretty up front interview.

I'm reminded more and more about animal farm... Everyone is equal, just some are more equal than others.

 

[BanthaFodder]

anyone else reminded of

Spoiler

Portal 2? Like, Anonymous was GLaDOS, and this splinter group was Wheatley, and both Chell and GLaDOS agree that this new threat is a common enemy and must be stopped?

*facepalm* God. It's like they're LARPing, on the internet, about conspiracy theories, in real life, on the internet. Pass the booze and the popcorn.

I wish I was an Anthropologist. This would be an awesome case study.

Actually, Anonymous is like the physical embodiment of the Internet: immature, powerful and steeped in irony so complex, we can never tell if it's self-aware comedy or just idiocy.

I, for one, welcome our new Anonymous overlords. Whoever wins this fight.

You deserve it.

Why is my college hosting a picture of sunglasses? And how do you know about it? Do you go to RIT!?

I didn't click on the glasses the first time because I didn't think it was a link to something else.

After revisiting and attempting to click (noticed the blue star logo), I nearly shat my pants...

Funny to read about anyway. The way this has been written up makes it sound as though all the members of anonymous should be wearing sharp suits and shades, carrying a gun and refering to each other simply as 'Mr Smith'. Then you realise its just a group of guys sat at their computer in their mothers basement.......still its entertaining.

 

[The Floating Nose]

A hacker fight has to be funny, i mean all they do is probably hack the computers of one another.

This sounds like an epic tale of political intrigue and in-fighting. I've never liked anonymous, and I wonder if those released IP Addresses will result in any arrests. Whatever the outcome of this specific schism, I think this may result in major splintering of anon in the future, and possibly even a complete collapse. One can hope.

Even if those IP addresses are released, the FBI can't make arrests unless the IP addresses are linked to an attack or illegal online activities. Besides, any entry level hacker can easily disguise themselves as bots, and roam anonymously online.

Just thought.

I never respected or took Anon seriously from the beginning, because they seemed to do more trolling than actual actions that benefited their "cause"

We need a new Anon.

 

[jebussaves88]

It's articles like this that give Anonymous their power. If you ignore them, they'll go away. If you report on their actions in this manner, they think we all love them, instead of realising we think they're all dicks.

this reminds me a little of 'wanted: weapons of fate'

bad guy vs bad guy's

son of a *****! you nearly broke my fucking ear drums!

 

[algalon]

In response, an AnonOps operator named Fontaine will send in a covert op named Jack to unknowingly take Ryan and his associates down! Would you kindly hack their servers?

 

[The Bum]

I'm betting Ryan's first name is Andrew.

 

[JMeganSnow]

SPLITTERS!

Which RIT is that because I know someone that goes to an RIT.
