I'm not all that impressed, seems like a retread of the whole "Marblecake" raid, which was pretty much the same thing except it went after a larger spectrum of interests of the same basic crowd.
I mean it's impressive that they pulled it off despite Youtube's tighter security and all, but the actual results are kind of "meh" because we've seen this before, and it's not like it's a new target with some kind of new meaning behind it. I mean at this point I think it went without saying that any of the "big groups" can pwn Youtube whenever they want.
To really impress me at this point they would have to do something like sabotage the launch of WoW's new expansion or whatever. Largely because it's supposed to be impossible to do because of the way it stores data and everything. If for example a hundred million people wound up patching Justin Bieber videos and porn into their games so that's all they could see when they started it up, that would be epic.
But then again I guess it largely comes down to them succeeding to any extent against Australia after they said they were coming, is going to be a tough act to follow.

Wow. These people are actually starting to look like terrorists to me. They want to be known for these things so as to instill fear into people for their own ends. Sounds like terrorism to me.
"Shake the foundation of the internet"? I'll have all but forgotten that this ever happened by next month. Invent Skynet and THEN we'll talk about shaking the foundation of the internet.
They are also hackers on steroids.KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life said:
Nah "they" are not really that at all. It's not about insilling fear into people, it's about generating amusement.
Isn't the car crash "joke" pretty old too? Or was that Miley Cyrus or one of the Jonas Brothers?
Anyway, I think those fake death messages and Shock Pornography are the lowest of the low. Especially when the main target consists of 10 - 13-years-old girls.
But, hey, that's the interwebz, right? >_>

It was both of us, actually, not just one or the other. It originated off of Embaums, but spread to 4 pretty quickly. I would know, I was part of it. Essentially all it did was disable the ability to post or edit comments, while displaying a big scrolling text message saying whatever you wanted it to. Besides, the best way to get a bug fixed is to exploit it until they don't have a choice but to fix it.
I know all of the jokes, and I used to agree with you, but many of them take these things very seriously. Behavior like this could very well escalate.Penguinness said:
4chan actually mobilized? WHY DIDN'T I GET THE MEMO?!
Actually, the fact that they can organize anything beyond chatroulette and facebook trolls genuinely surprises me.
Edit: If this was eBaums, I'm even more surprised since all they ever do is squabble amongst themselves and openly hate anyone that isn't white and atheist.

"4Chan was apparently responsible for the attacks, with one poster saying that it was a reminder that its members could "still shake the foundation of the internet.""
Hollow souls.
Hollow souls.
Oh really? They did? Well, I sure didn't notice. Because I don't listen to Justin Beaver or whatever the hell his name is.
We're posting on forums, do we really have nothing better to do? Doesn't mean we have to do something better or more productive, just because it's there.WorldCritic said:
