Kyle, which part of "no one knows for sure what will follow." wasn't clear? Where exactly in the post do I say that /b/ will die? First tip before delivering a lecture: get the facts straight.

I don't know if it will go down, and if I was betting on it I'd say the answer would be no. But blind freddy can see that /b/ will be in the spotlight here, and don't think that if McCain wins this is just going away.

I also agree with you on point 1. Note again that I added "(the name is a label more than a group, applied to users acting towards a similar objective)." That Anonymous is refered to as a group in the media is a given, I didn't make it that way, but I did put the context right.

lol, I think if the FBI was trying to get info from a board they'd make it a bit more public than make a single post.

Besides, everybody who has heard anything at all about this knows that ebaums did it.

While it's not likely that anything drastic will happen, if 4chan /b/ does get b& from the internet, maybe the cancer will go away...

p.s.s. Maybe she shouldn't have been using Yahoo for her government emails, either.

That's like hanging out in an iSketch.org chatroom without a mod around, and screaming for barrel rolls.

Duncan,

You're pretty much wrong on every point here, and my fellow Anons have pointed this out. I'm a /b/tard (and, by association, part of Anon) myself, but I'm choosing to post as me for this.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that people who view /b/ are involved, which is most likely true.

1) The name "Anonymous" as a group is partially a joke. The MSM (and other people like yourself) have made it even larger and more publicized. Think about how people post on 4chan... do you get it now? The moniker is not indicative of a "group", but instead of people who are probably from a certain "place".

The sooner the media learns this, and stops being stupid about it ("hacker groups", "rogue hackers", etc.) the better.

2) What makes you think 4chan will go down? It handles all sorts of questionable activity every day, which I won't go into here, but hasn't been forced to go away yet.

3) What makes you think that, in the event that the feds come knocking, the servers won't just go offshore?

4) And, finally, should everything be seized and held etc. etc., do you really think that means anything? There's already a number of places that could quickly substitute and fill exactly the need that 4chan does. When "Anonymous" (the group) said "we are legion", they weren't kidding... this falls under the same category as piracy via torrents: take a site down, put someone in jail, but it doesn't matter... there's too many people and too many alternatives for anyone to ever really care or be worried.

Duncan, if I wasn't posting publicly, you'd have a name on /b/ that would indicate your level of experience and knowledge. It would involve the word "new".

--Kyle

p.s. To my fellow Anon: I may not be an "old"-thing, but I am definitely a /b/tard of over 9000, my /b/rothers. Maybe the media should be an hero in this situation? Because I don't think they can handle the /b/lackup.

Anonymous, absolutely right. 4chan has survived a lot of people after it before, and I believe it will survive this, but there's going to be a hell of a lot of attention this time.

David,

All I'm saying is that 4chan is going to be in the spotlight, and in a way more so than they have been in the past. I don't know the consequences of that, although I can imagine the right going mental after reading a small portion of anything on /b/ :-)

Thanks for thinking the FBI was posting. That was a good laugh.

I don't understand how actions of an individual, who then decided to post what he did to an anonymous message board can be blamed on the entire website.

Does that mean if I guessed the password of a politician's e-mail and posted the details in this message, inquisitr.com could be shut down?

is it possible that this is scientology trying to bring down anonymous? I smell conspiracy.
