seems like someone has gone all out to take 4chan down:

pretty clever attack, most of the dos zombies are actual 4chan readers/posters machines who were directed to an infected site which has recuited them

cant everyone just get along?

yah

Yes, anonymous is 4chan.

Is 4chan one or several websites? is there a 3chan? does it have anything to do with Channel 4 in the UK? I don't understand what it is.

thermite, are you baiting or are you serial.

neither? I'm just curious as to what 4chan is/means ?

You talk about it as though it were a household name, like Schapelle Corby. I asked a few coworkers, nobody knows of this?

^ hey I kept hearing about this 4chan thing for ages but never investigated and visited the website until the other week.

Now I know that it's the urinal of the internet and I stay away.

Yeah, its all the worst parts of the internet, in one easy to access place.

anytime you see an annoying or dumb macro, blame 4chan

ahaha just reading that wikipedia entry where 4chan is described as "the a****** of the Internet"

oh what a tragic loss it would be.

Still find the whole concept peculiar :/

think of a place where you can post the most tasteless offensive images with complete and total anonymity.

it is the perfect example of the mathematical formula: internet anonymity + regular person = a******.

i prefer theforum for totally random s***. plus no one is anon there.

4chan is dongs

i concur :D

lofl!! i love some of the randomness to be honest.

Is there some way we can help out with the dos?

anytime you see an annoying or dumb macro, blame 4chan

i'd rather 4chan than something awful

Is there some way we can help out with the dos?

Well, do you want to ddos them or help them from being ddosed?

haha I love having a read of 4chan every now and again. Those posts like in that dog picture crack me up. weirdo c***s.

I saw a couple of tribute videos made up of 4chan animated gifs and such, yesterday. Some of that s*** is damn funny. :)

...and its back

4chan isn't that bad, the real creeps are over on 12chan and the now defunct, evilchan (pedo s***).

Don't get your hopes up, it seems to be down again.
