4chan and the DDoS drama: When will it ever end?

While I enjoy 4chan for it’s humor, it’s not something I would take to extremes for. Even after reading the Encyclopedia Dramatica entry about the latest conflict, I’m still somewhat confused over the whole ordeal. Who did 4chan really piss off to get so much hurt coming to them this time? Was it one of those cool underage kids who think that wearing a Guy Fawkes mask in public makes him cool? Was it one of the true “Anon” that felt the Internet equivalent of toxic gas was needed to eradicate the fail and cancer? Perhaps its yet another script kiddie trying to make a name for himself by disrupting a very popular website. Right now, it looks like this sort of crap will continue to be a thorn on Moot’s side. By the time I finish this article, it might rise from the ashes of FAIL, but I doubt it will.

I need the lulz back!
