[edit] DDOS and Coverup by ED admins

A few admins of Encyclopedia Dramatica are helping shield the perpetrators by first deleting the Chanapocalypse article and then, when it was remade, blanking it and deleting earlier revisions. The two involved in the blanking were DCY and Endedrural. For more details, see the "Wat." section of this page. Marco13185 19:16, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

• FUCK, I WAS ONLY THE SECOND![1] — Grawp 01:32, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

• Any news on who is doing it? --Rattlehead91 01:45, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

Here is information on what happened, what sites were involved, dox and chat logs: http://pastebin.com/m5601d93a --Hitlerlol 01:55, 22 July 2008 (CDT) **updated with their surrender

Hmmm, I see. I sense some future rape from Anon. -- Rattlehead91 02:48, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

Do not forgive do not forget, amirite? --Todd_McCloud^{\Talk plox} 03:04, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

• • SOMEONE MAKE AN ARTICLE ON IT ONCE THE FAGGOTRY STOPS --Lolinnernets 02:45, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

• 4chan and now this? Gosh, what's going on? As for an article... I dunno... it seems like a big DDOS, but meh --Todd_McCloud^{\Talk plox} 02:47, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
• According to 4chanstatus the DDoS is between 3-5 gigs, so yeah, "big" about covers it. Also, many /b/tards have been telling me that this is an annual thing. CrimsonSamurai
• Then again, these DDOS Scifags are just asking for it. We do articles of attention whores, fags, and socially inept morons. This little crew might fit that bill. --Todd_McCloud^{\Talk plox} 02:51, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

• • • What do we call it? Or should it be section under 4chan or some such? Jackbird 03:21, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
      • No, it's notable enough to have its own article, maybe The Failed Chan-apocalypse of 2008 ----Lolinnernets 03:25, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

I am for this title. -- Rattlehead91 03:45, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

• Maybe call it "July 2008 Rape-A-Thon"? or simply "Raidchan Fail War of July 2008"? I don't think we should detail the date anymore than that. After all, 4chan's been having problems for days now. --Todd_McCloud^{\Talk plox} 03:28, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

Raidchan Whats all this then? --Hitlerlol 03:30, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

Might be reading it wrong, but 7chan's main site says raidchan attacked them --Todd_McCloud^{\Talk plox} 03:31, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

Yeah, it was raidchan/netcollect that have been ddosing 420chan, 711chan, 4chan, 7chan, ED, anontalk, anonib, and YTMND. Take a look at the pastebin.

Shit didn't happen on anonib or YTMND, though. --Anоnymous 11:04, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

• Is...is it finally over? -- Rattlehead91 11:14, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
  • I think so. ED is still slow though. --Lolinnernets 11:33, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
• ED is always slow. ~ endedrural _(talk) 18:19, 22 July 2009 (CDT)

• is raidchan saying this was retaliation for their server getting rooted?

if so, i might have some relevant irc logs..... --Blackfish711 17:35, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

Overchan V.2

[] - Monday, July 21, 2008 7 Comments (Reply Here) - (Mohey Pori) !m0hEY/p0RI - AIM

Currently my website is a target of a ddos chanwar.

Please call off all DDOS against the site. Me and the website takes neutral stance on all things that happen within the anonymous and imageboard culture. If you feel like you have any problems with any of the chans listed that you have to ddos them, that's fine and all, but keep this establishment out of the picture.

If this is an DDoS attack, instead of vengeance, let's talk things over! Hit my aim or email or something.

Let's be friends!

• Hell, at least this DDOS will give something for us to say on ED:TMIL at the end of this month, because it's been a pretty boring month on the whole.-OhLawdIsDatSum 11:25, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

Not mentioned anywhere else, but it appears 4chanarchive.org also got hit. 99chan.org says dreamhost cancelled their webhosting--I hope they didn't do any yearly prepaying. Ritegroic 17:21, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

• Holy fucking shit. 4chan is down right now... Just when /b/ was acclimatizing to the chemo... I, for one, blame George W. Bush Ryuuk 19:07, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Meme Pronunciation

What do ya'll think the meme article should say about the pronunciation. It currently just says "pronounced meme" and provides no help, which I find pretty funny. However, there is a push to make it accurate and say "pronounced meem," which really isn't bad either, but I just prefer the first way. Anyway, I was just wondering what others thought. You can read more on Talk:Meme. ~ endedrural _(talk) 18:19, 22 July 2009 (CDT)

• The people arguing about that are retards. I somehow instinctively knew how to pronounce it the first time I saw the word, but that may be because I'm not a moron. I say leave as is. --kh/ what 13:21, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

• I pronounce it [meem], sounds better. [mem] sounds retarded --Magma 17:51, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Potential for PooTube Let's Play lulz

• Let's Play with Youtube#Is SA's influence needed for lulz to be had?

There seems to be a shitstorm brewing, faggots. I am trying to compile lulz to add to this, but one edetective can only do so much. Has anyone heard anything more? (MvB 15:13, 22 July 2008 (CDT))

[edit] Quote of the Now

Whar is it? InternetsHitman 17:23, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

• We're out. Couldn't get any suggestions so it's modified to be blank instead of showing an error. Probably going to be replacing the section with a "What's New with Portals" section, unless someone finds a mountain of funny quotes and shit. WM 17:24, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

• I really like the QOTN section, although it was better when there was the occasional ED:IRC quote. I'm willing to farm some quotes up, but how long is each quote good for? Also, is there an archive of past quotes? --EZRA 23:26, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

• The archive is at: ED:QOTN. It hasn't really been maintained, but I'll add all of the 2008 months for reference. Generally the quotes go up for two days. I'd say the cycle of reuse is probably the same as AOTN, 6 months if it's exceptional, maybe a year if it's OK. Give me about ten minutes and that page should have links to all of the quote archives since late 2007. WM 18:26, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

• Thanks, I'll get on it. --EZRA 23:43, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Italianfag

Italian press has violated rule #1 and #2. Fuck Times. This is the article.

Excuse me, what rules? --Anоnymous 12:11, 23 July 2008 (CDT)

If that was French, I could understand a lot of it. Since Italian is a related language, I can understand little bits, like that they were saying "the first rule of 4chan.org is that you do not talk about it". But we need a real translation, please, like what happened with that German magazine article, DAS TROLLPARADIES.--OhLawdIsDatSum 12:28, 23 July 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Wat.

The Chanapocalypse article has been deleted not once, but twice. Why? --Todd_McCloud^{\Talk plox} 14:35, 23 July 2008 (CDT)

The hackers threatened ED. --Anоnymous 15:51, 23 July 2008 (CDT)

If they can't revert it, think that a sysop could get me the sauce of the page? I will put it up on partyvan.info when it's back up (just fixing the nameserver atm).

All of it comes from http://pastebin.com/m28bf5baa and the pics etc. are from searching Pacifico on facebook AS FAR as I know however check out how he has been on a bunch of "hacking" websites and conventions and whatnot, and he's 16. --Anоnymous 18:06, 23 July 2008 (CDT)

I go to the same IRC server pacifico does. He claims that he's friends with a moderator here who removed the article for him. Marco13185 09:33, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

Jesus Christ all of this is pure bullshit. If that's the case, then he can suck cock for all I care. If you're friends with that kind of a faggot (assuming he's a skiddie, nothing else) you don't deserve much. That would probably be Weev if anything based on the deletion logs. --Anоnymous 11:02, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

Someone apparently readded some information to the article and instead of deleting the articles, the admins have protected it and deleted the earlier revisions. DCY and Endedrural are apparently at fault. Marco13185 18:54, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

z0MG! buRecrAtiC fucKs!? .... in my ED?! Can I get a revert please? K5233 20:26, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

Christ you people are retards. The page was repeatedly a shitpost and nothing but chatlogs and anons freaking out over their precious chans being attacked. It's not the end of the internet if you can't reach /b/, in fact it's probably an improvement, given the shit that /b/tards spew across the internet constantly. WRT ED sysops being in cahoots with the skiddies behind the attacks, I can tell you that weev is above stupid shit like that and wouldn't associate himself with such small fry, and I doubt any other ED admins give a shit about the kid behind it.

Some shit on the internet happened. It wasn't the first time, it won't be the last time, and not every DDoS on the internet needs a special place on ED. Get over yourselves and quit whining. --kh/ what 20:52, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

[edit] XD

Because serious business often goes so horribly wrong when Google Search is involved. Halloween Costumes <-- Showed up at the top of the page when I got frustrated and typed "moooooooo" at a Google prompt. D: Miqrogroove 01:52, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Google Knol is launched - their very own online Encyclopedia

Maybe an article instead of a redirect would be appropriate? If they manage to pwn Wikipedia, that'll be epic. [2] [3]

I remember someone on WR saying that Google was encouraging links to Wikipedia so that it could "fatten it up for slaughter" due to the reusable content (GFDL) on Wikipedia which may be transferable to Knol.

Still, it allows original research, which means that it may just be like a glorified Wikinfo. I don't see it killing Wikipedia quickly, but it would be funny if it did. Suck on that, NawlinWiki!--OhLawdIsDatSum 05:23, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

Also, you can make money off of it from ad revenues from articles you've written! That is fucking awesome... I hope it kills Wikipedia. I've believed right from the start that people doing lots of edits for Wikipedia should be paid - what the fuck is the point of editing it if you don't? It's masochistic. TL;DR? Knol is not smacked by Grawp's massive cock (better move-protect it now NawlinWiki!).--OhLawdIsDatSum 05:35, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

Done. Written the article.--OhLawdIsDatSum 08:10, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

• Considering the privacy violations they've been piling up, Facebook really is serious business. When I finally see something related to dickgirls show up in my newsfeed, it'll be time to cancel my account and run to Mexico. WM 10:22, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Mother Russia may make Emos illegal

http://www.nme.com/news/my-chemical-romance/38392 Cue massive BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWing --Bionic-Sun 14:09, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

While this may seem like win, let us not forget that Emos are a prime source of lulz and in fact upsets the entire balance of the internets. Still though, nice trolling on Russia's part. CrimsonSamurai
