    4Chan doesn't have invasion boards

    hell, I remember hearing people left 4Chan because the mods started cracking down on members organizing raids. I suppose being worried about getting sued and the like kinda makes ya realize somethings aren't that good of an idea.

    7chan had an invasion board once, but it's not there anymore.

    And I like /b/.

    I can't go into /b/ anymore. I'm just not desensitized to genital mutilation pictures, and I'm always afraid there's going to be one on the front page.

    I'm confused. Since when is 4chan a haven for hackers? I thought it was mostly for weeaboos, perverts and assorted nerds.

    Unless by hacking they're talking about them raiding other forums and shit.

    Any asshole can hack stuff. A group of assholes that think they won't face any reprecussions from their actions can do impressive things once in awhile. It's pretty much an echo room for stupid. That said, I still go there once in awhile for wall papers and uh, stuff..

    Wait, are we talking about /b/? Because I never go there.

    /b/ is a good place to get pictures and stuff.

    Yeah, pictures of a furry with shitting dicknipples. No thanks.

    You're very mistaken.

    /b/ does post disgusting pictures, true, but the majority tend to be either:
    Racist (which I file under "stupid shit")
    Cats (4chan loves cats. Which is why Zippocat is pretty much asking to be lynched there)
    "Hilarious" captions
    Motivational Posters
    Pokemon.

    I am completely serious about that last one.
    And furries are fairly uncommon except the occasional Friday when someone decides it'd be fun to incite a page or 2 (which, on /b/, goes by in about 30sec. to a minute) of bitching and whining and "YIFF IN HELL"

    You guys sound like the media the way you are going on about this hacker on steroids "anonymous" and 4chan. One person calls in bomb threats and because he used 4chan, all 4chan are bombers? I guess everyone posts on Penny Arcade are pyscho school shooting nutjobs then since you all play the Doom shootan game. One or two people from any generic futaba powered image board acting like idiots in real life and making bomb threats does not mean every single person going to those boards are any worse then the average PA poster. Get off your high horses. Theres just as much douchebaggery here as anywhere else on the net. You all hate being painted with a "games make you a killer" brush whenever Jack Thompson or whoever comes around, but your all pretty quick to lump the rest of the people together.

    If somebody on PA made a bomb threat and many of us cheered him on and imitated him then you'd have a point.

    "Anonymous" is a bunch of bored teenage attention whores. People make death-threats over MySpace Drama, and certainly "Anonymous"is not the first group of organized trolls. They're not even the first group to troll Second Life. (And don't get me started on the pretentous silliness that is SL... but I digress.)

    Fox 11 is stupid for dong this report for several reason. Their journalism is obviously lacking, but more importantly, they are giving "Anonymous" they attention they want.

    If we ignore trolls like Jack Thompson, racist talk show hosts, and "Anonymous" then eventually they will go away, or at least they won't bother us anymore, because we won't be paying attention to them.

    On a related note, the Daily Mail is the British equivalent of silly Fox News (and its affiliates), and comes in a convenient "tabloid" format! A year ago or so they did a VERY SPECIAL REPORT on the dangers of the Internet, and here it is in wonderful silly (and horrbily done) cartoon format:

    There are a lot of chans worse then 4chan. 4chan is intelligent in comparison to other chans.

    Anyway, all the best stuff from 4chan is re-posted all over the internet anyway so theres no need to even go there for the memes.

    Also, I had someone I know IRL try to convince me that he wasn't a pedo despite frequenting 12chan... I made it my business not to see him again:|

    As much as I dislike sensationalist reporting (don't get me started on that DS piece) or Fox news in general, I never understood what is so funny about internet detective pranks.
    It's one thing to rip on someone about stupid shit they posted on the web by themselves but organizing a massive personal attack, posting private information and going as far as harassing people when they are minding their own business away from the internet is quite something else. It's not cool and worth reporting on IMHO.

    Don't really know what's bad about Pokemon.

    About the racism: There might be some real racists, but most of the stuff there is just for fun (don't really know what's so funny about that, but whatever). They even raided the radio talk show of Hal Turner, a white nationalist, just because he's a racist. /b/'s pretty much against actual racism.

    Though we all know 4chan is pretty bad, though this sheds more light on Anonymous' activities. Pretty tight how the woman had to get a dog, security system etc.

    Err, 4chan usually pretty publicly bashes the people who engage in this shit. They will go out of their way to insult them, etc., after the fact.

    Basically, 4chan is all talk. They brag about how they're gonna firebomb some guys house, but they never would. And when someone does, they'll pretty much "kick him out" of the club of idiots.

    I think that Fox news is, as usual, completely missing the point. There's no organization called Anonymous. It's not a group, it's not a state of mind. It's an anthropomorphism of an internet phenomenon. I post occasionally on 4chan. Have I ever bothered putting in a username? No, because it's not worth the extra 5 seconds, because nothing on 4chan lasts for more than a day or so. Does that make me anonymous? Yes. Does it make me Anonymous? Absolutely not.

    Edit: Wow.
