and i'm seriously going through withdrawl.
i miss my /b/.
need. anon. image. board. fix.
(tourniquet on arm, slapping veins)
need....fix....
BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I need an imageboard guise
Some hack though,
they even set up a dummy php forum site.
I honestly don't know how these sorts of tricks are possible, being a newb and all, but it seems 4chan is a frequent target of able and persistent hackers.
I thought that 4-ch seemed stupider today.
Imageboard full of shitposts and images of questionable legality.
You would know of ~30 more imageboards if you weren't a fucking tool.

From what the status blog said, they messed with the DNS names.
don't you think it's beautiful the way the slight, temporary destruction of all that held our worlds together yet, ironically, constantly tearing us apart, is bringing us together to comfort each other during this AWFUL, tragic time of loss?
it's truly like the apocalypse here. nothing is the same, all signs of what was are gone, and we are left with nothing but grey. maybe this is what we are now; this is what we've become. not only are people compromising the purity of Anon, but we're numbered. we're FUCKING numbered.
i feel like dying.
anons has lost this battle but its wrath shall be terrible and its retribution swift...

looks like the php forum is down and they've downsized to "lulz" signatures. Too much bandwidth there, I wonder?
Something is wrong with a lot of the chans it seems. Well, more than usual, I mean.
420 just got their shit running again. timing is great.
I never visit imageboards and am unaffected by this.
That people are flipping out over this is terribly amusing. Back in the day 4chan was down more often than not.
> 15000+ pissed-off anons are not something you want to fuck with.
How many of those are capable of any DDoS method besides pressing the reload button over and over?
A lot of the /i/ folk from other boards. But most of them hate 4chan proper.
My DNS cache is outdated and I can't get anywhere other than the blog. What's on the actual hacked pages?
And what sort of private information is moot talking about anyway?
> What's on the actual hacked pages?
greetz and an invitation to a horrible irc channel
> And what sort of private information is moot talking about anyway?
mod passwords, probably. but the lulz people are technology illiterate they wouldn't know how to steal them
Haha, I'm glad I got banned about a week ago.
It's kind of funny that I didn't go on 4chan at all yesterday (it's 1:22 AM) and 4chan just happens to be hacked. I mean, I haven't missed a day of 4channing in, like, forever!
The current supposed Official Status Blog claims that this is all planed, and that a lame group of fags have talked moot into letting them take over 4-chon. As this was the first re-direct I saw once 4-chan was hacked, and the original message was very very different, either the 'official blog' isn't, or it too has been compromised.
We need direct contact with Moot before we can say what's really going on.
more info here.
I doubt this is truth, or that Moot has given up 4chan. it has basically been his life for the last 3 years. I don't see him giving it to a group of self-important fags.
>>27
you mean http://4chanstatus.blogspot.com ? It doesn't say anything about any planned takeover.
new4chan got taken down lol.
by it's free hosting service lol.
Really, people just need to calm down.
They're just trolls.
They sound as if Andrew Ryan is their PR guy.
HA HA HA

Looks like the traffic is getting to them. Those script kiddies certainly were ignorant of how much bandwidth 4chan really takes.
Not a freehost, but a cheaphost. Plans $4-8.
So why does this 4chon have so many enemies?
I mean I'd support anyone who wanted to take down /b/,
but why /a/? What has /a/ ever done to anyone?
>>33
Idiotic members of the random board of 4chan like to "raid" other websites for the express purpose of "doing it for the lulz". This has annoyed (and probably angered) many of the affected communities. It was inevitable that something like this would happen because of those people.
This had nothing to do with the people 4chan raided. Type 4chan in your address bar and it will take you to the goons.net. I dont know if it has anything to do with SA goons or not. These guys are basically do what 4chan does and saw 4chan as a competitor and hacked them just to be we are cool we hacked 4chan. Its so stupid why would you hack it ?
im usual at /a/ /egl/ /b/ and /v/ and i was on 4chan when this dillema stuck.
those guys responsible for this mess will receive heaven's vengeance!
I WANT MY 4CHAN BACK!!! DEMMET!!!!
Lacking my TG, I'll just hang out at Failseer and Dakka Failure, but I miss my DOOMRIDER! NAnanananananananananananananananananana!!!!!!

Special Notice: Thank you to all of the individuals who have alerted us to the problems revolving around these sites. Sorry the investigation took so long to conclude; however, one individual in particular pointed out that this client was impersonating members of our managment team, even to the point of the domain registrations and online representation.
Glexia plans on working with any authority or court if prompted to on further investigation on this issue. Here at Glexia, we wish the best luck to the individuals at 4chan.org in recovering their domain (assuming it was indeed stolen, based off the number of abuse complaints we received)
Thank you for your time.

Guys, chill out, it will probably be back in a few days. In the worst case with a new domain name, it's not like that would make any sort of dent in their popularity.
lol
but
I miss my /lounge/ and /b/. :(((
Every time 4chan dies, many newfags leave.
clear ur cookies
fuck the fucking server, fucking fuck!
It seems a lot of people are really in the dark about /i/ and 4chan's love/hate relationship. This won't have all the details, but should serve as a good enough summary.
After moot created the "new rules" for /b/, cracking down on jailbait and "call-to-invasion" threads (commonly referred to as /b/day), 7chan opened an "/i/ - Invasion" board to hold the refugees. Here, those banned or alienated from 4chan were able to do their raid organizing.
After a while, 7chan's admin was given an ultimatum by his host, who had received many complaints from other websites that /i/ had targeted. They were violating the TOS, and decided to remove the /i/ board instead of finding a new host.
Afterwards, 420chan hosted /i/ firstly on its own servers and later only linked to the board, having moved to a separate host: not420chan. Due to the nature of /i/nsurgent activity, these boards have a limited lifespan, so they moved their main operations to IRC so they could better communicate and plan in a less public way. After this they weren't "affiliated" with any particular chan, though they certainly lurk them all; most have a hatred for 4chan and love for 420.. 7chan is somewhere in the middle.
The #insurgency IRC channel was on Rizon for a time before moving to their own network, "lulznet" - not to be confused with lulz.net. 7chan at one point linked their IRC network with /i/'s. The /i/nsurgents also asked moot to join, and when he ignored them, they launched a distributed denial of service attack against 4chan. 7chan de-linked from their network.
During and after the downtime from the DDoS, as many Anonymous were trying to understand what happened, /i/ was spreading misinformation on the various imageboards and Encyclopedia Dramatica about who was responsible. This ranged between the lulz.net furries, some (not SA-related) "g00n" hacker group, another named "teamloosh", the GNAA, and so on.
Thus, it is not surprising to again find these same traditional scapegoats being blamed for the DNS hijack. The /i/nsurgents will probably continue to harass 4chan until either moot gives up on it or their group is dealt with by law enforcement - the latter being more likely even if still a low chance. An alternative would be for /i/ to find something more productive to do with their time, but if the Internet has taught us anything, we shouldn't hold our breaths on it.
>>47
As a 420chan-based /i/nsurgent, I'd like to add in that most of us thought the lulznet incident was fucking stupid, and were planning to raid them for taking down 4chan. In fact, despite not being on 4chan, we'd raided multitudes of people who wanted to fuck with 4chan because they're a fellow chan.
If only 420 were hosted on 4chan, maybe it wouldn't be down so often?
<BODY ONLOAD=alert('XSS')>
>>47
you are misinformed about pretty much all of that. :) "lulznet" didn't ddos 4chan. an irc network cannot ddos anything. you are stuck in a loop of idiocy. 4chan does not attack websites yet websites that get 'attacked' by /b/tards believe that 4chan has attacked them. it's the same here.
you let yourselves be manipulated into telling stories that someone other than yourself generated. (rumors) :o
> 4chan does not attack websites
That's right, the residents of 7chan, 420chan or some other place do and 4chan takes the credit/blame.
lol...
あげる
