Didn't they somehow make 9gag do a DDoS attack on themselves?

[–]bitties 570 points571 points ago

"9gag’s Retaliation

Nearly a day before the 4chan raid, 9gag had discovered their intentions through several posts that had surfaced on the websites “Hot page”. The posts were in fact, set up by 4chan users, in an attempt to confuse their enemy. One such post was apparently written by a 4chan member acting as a 9gag member, inciting a DDoS attack on 4chan. In a clever mishap, 9gag ended up firing upon their own site. The instructions that were given to them actually gave the coordinates to 9gag. Unaware of this mistake, 9gag members fired upon the given coordinates, unaware of their mistake. In short, 9gag was tricked into DoS’ing itself. Due to the servers massive capacity, little effect was had. 9gag, having discovered their mistake, launched a DDoS attack on 4chans main page, shutting it down for a small amount of time."

[–]PrinceofIce 210 points211 points ago

[–]delacook 6 points7 points ago

What is DDOS?

[–]hans1193 24 points25 points ago

Distributed Denial of Service. It basically means to flood a website with bogus requests and bog it down so badly in the process that the site becomes unusable.

[–]SOMETHING_POTATO 8 points9 points ago

Picture a website as a bar. A DDOS is when you gather up all your friends to line up at the bar and order multiple glasses of water. The bar is then unable to serve paying customers who actually want to receive service.

[–]Dracius 18 points19 points ago

Whoever wrote that sure did like to say "mistake" a lot:

[–]poleethman 1 point2 points ago

Thank you. I have now found one funny thing on Reddit tonight.

[–]etan_causale 101 points102 points ago

Yep. A lot of DDoSers use the LOIC program, where there is a field where you simply type the address of the intended victim website.

A bunch of people from 4chan cleverly tricked 9gag into starting a DDoS attack against 4chan. They distributed a modified version of the LOIC program where the target address would always be 9gag whatever you put in the address field.

9gag didn't stand a chance.

I'm still laughing over the I Can Count to Potato Blamed on 9gag event

[–]CummingEverywhere 21 points22 points ago

Any more info on the I Can Count To Potato thing? This is the first I've heard of it.

[–]etan_causale 68 points69 points ago

There's an internet meme that makes use of the image of a girl with Down's Syndrome. The girl and her family found out about it a few months ago.

Just when the story was breaking, 4chan had an idea. You know how 9gag steals content from different websites? People from 9gag tend to steal jokes/images/etc from other websites and claim it as their own (even putting their watermark). Reddit also steals content, but at the very least Reddit usually cites sources (those who don't are usually exposed by the community). I have personally seen a bunch of 4chan jokes stolen, turned into rage comics, then watermarked by 9gag.

Well, because of the story, people started feeling bad for the girl and the use of the meme was substantially reduced in the internet out of respect. 4chan, on the other hand, started mass producing the meme. Here's the kicker: they put 9gag watermarks on what they send out. They also posted comments on facebook and youtube blaming 9gag. People (especially those who don't use the net often), were fooled into thinking that 9gag started the meme. Because the controversy was only starting to get media attention, the media also picked up on this sentiment.

The irony is the fact that the meme orginated from 4chan. But because 9gag keeps stealing their good content, 4chan thought that it was a form of justice that they also get blamed for their bad content.

edit: My bad. After reading knowyourmeme more carefully, I realize that the meme actually orginated from funnyjunk.

[–]casual_complimenter 27 points28 points ago

What I found hilarious was the number of folks from 9gag who believed that 9gag started the meme, and fought to defend it. It was priceless.

[–]jcgv 21 points22 points ago

When shit goes tits up blame Ebaums 9Gag

[–]hans1193 11 points12 points ago

[–]gef21 18 points19 points ago

Yeah, the 'I Can Count To Potato Girl' found out she was a meme, and she has down syndrome, her and her mother went apeshit and a guy from reddit said to them that 9gag started the meme, then it reached the newspapers with headlines such as 'I CAN COUNT TO POTATO GIRL FINDS OUT SHE'S A MEME!', it was the funniest thing I had seen in a long time.

[–]etan_causale 13 points14 points ago

a guy from reddit said to them that 9gag started the meme

It was 4chan that actually started blame game.

They did it because they hated people who claimed 4chan content as their own O_o.

Reddit also actually participated in the meme as the controversy was brewing.

On December 19th, 2011, a Scumbag Steve derivative was submitted to the /r/adviceanimals subreddit and reached the front page accumulating over 8,500 upvotes within a month. The post was subsequently criticized for being ableist in the /r/ShitRedditSays. (from knowyourmeme)

May I remind you that 4chan hates reddit as well.

[–][deleted] 89 points90 points ago

4chan hates everything. Plenty of 4chaners visit reddit on a regular basis, and vice versa. I'm sure the same thing goes with 9gag, youtube and others, neither is the exclusive club they make themselves out to be.

Edit: Although 9gagers tend to be a bit more obnoxious than redditors IRL. Not to say redditors aren't obnoxious at all.

[–]The_middle_names_ent 29 points30 points ago

[–]zacistan 22 points23 points ago

[–]narutofoxboi 86 points87 points ago

Reddit loves to pretend that they're on 4chan's side against 9gag, ignoring the fact that Reddit=9gag to most of the community there.

[–]Rumorad 45 points46 points ago

I think the main reason many people dislike 9gag is that they put their logos on every image they can find basically claiming they created it. In reality almost all of that came from other sites and when you see other forums use the images with the 9gag logo I cannot help but feel somewhat angered because they take credit for something they had no part in creating.

[–]Piejamas 22 points23 points ago

Meh, most of 4chan doesn't really care about the 'ownership' of jokes, because most of 4chan did not create those original jokes. The main reason why 9gag is collectively despised is because it represents the thing that 4chan hates most in the entire world, people who think they're funny when they're not.

[–]kjevo 13 points14 points ago

4 chan created almost all the rage faces and memes.

[–]angertrain 17 points18 points ago

To their credit some of them actually were funny then.

Now it's a cancer that has spread.

A small wisp of actual rage rises up in my head when I see one in the thumbnail now. They. Aren't. Funny. People harbouring the lamest sense of humour have co-opted the medium in an attempt to curry favour with the masses. It has failed, and destructively.

[–]LadyEclectic 1 point2 points ago

I dislike 9gag because it is called 9gag.

Seriously, who wants to be associated with that?

[–]AquaNeito 17 points18 points ago

[–][deleted] 198 points199 points ago

I love the entitlement of reddit users. /r/funny, /r/fuuuuuuuuuuuu, /r/adviceanimals, and 9gag are almost interchangeable.

The good thing about reddit and 4chan is that there are other boards that allow for more specific interests.

Bad thing about reddit is that karma-whoring stays on top, whilst on 4chan, discussion will make your post 'relevant'.

Another bad thing about reddit is the mass-indoctrination of supposedly shared ideologies, and the false sense of 'community' that is created through them, which give many a reason to resort to reactionary hate, mostly driven by populist agendas.

The main subreddits on reddit have become too big for reasonable discussion to exist.

Redditors in /r/funny seem keen on making a 'ghetto' (Which it is, already. Along with all the bigger subreddits, except for /r/askscience) as evident in this thread, by creating this fake 'website-war' and acting superior towards users of other websites. The level of smugness is very irritating.

racists - non-racists

liberals - conservatives (The ratio of liberals to conservatives is about 50-50 on 4chan)

im terrible at getting my point across, i hope this is understandable

oh and if you don't know what things like wincest and gfur are, id suggest not looking them up. (except wincest is alright)

Reddit is a place where stupid people go to act like they're smart.

4chan is a place where smart people go to act stupid.

I wouldn't be surprised if the average 4chan IQ Is higher than the average redditor IQ.

[–]Andergard 52 points53 points ago

On a whole, grand scheme of things, I feel this could hit quite close to the mark. It is obviously a massive generalisation, but hell, I do appreciate 4chan's complete sense of letting the reins of decency go, and just running with whatever comes to their minds. It's like a bizarro-world where people can be humans (in the whole carnivalesque sense) instead of people (with obligations towards a collective sense decency, accepted morals, and all that jazz) for a while.

It's not like I'm dissing Reddit here, nor uplifting 4chan - I'm just pointing to an often overlooked aspect of apparently behaving like a complete anti-social retard: it's an aspect of human beings, after all.

[–]Wolfszeit 16 points17 points ago

Yes. Reddit always refers to /b/ as some kind of incomprehensible evil. But I find it quite a civil place. The means of expression are just a bit more "extreme". But then again, what does that even mean? If everybody swears at each other with cancer and faggot... it just loses its meaning.

And if you somehow get into a talk with someone on /b/ they tend to be far more self-criticising and able to admit faults than the people on this shitty website.

Also, there's a lot of "beauty" to be found there. These are two of the most memorable things I've found on /b/, ever:

http://i.imgur.com/qf5SQ.jpg

Also this: http://chanarchive.org/4chan/b/41999/so-b-do-you-guys-want-to-hear-a-story-this-story-is-not-of-a-tard-in-the-netherlands-where-i-live-tar

It's the first part of a three part story.

And it's one of the few things that ever TRULY made me totally laugh out loud in real life. It's a story about some classmate of some dude with aspergers. And the way he describes it... it's pure fucking gold.

I've got the whole thing saved in word and the whole story is a solid 15 pages long. It's completely formatted and easy to read. If someone wants it, I can send it to you. Just PM me your email adress or something.

I really want to share this with people, haha

[–]Andergard 14 points15 points ago

This is amazingly spot-on.

Also, as late as yesterday, I was discussing the problem of people "falling through the social safety-net" in the context of the recent shooting-incident in Hyvinkää, Finland, and how it compared to e.g. the somewhat recent school shootings. There's one aspect of it, that it's people who are harshly bullied, shoved around, disregarded, lied to, and led to believe that society isn't "all that bad, after all" who run the risk of finally snapping, and wishing to cast off all semblance of human morality and finally rid themselves of all the restrictions and barriers enforced upon them by their fellow people. Some of these people turn out to be e.g. Eric Auvinen or Matti Saari, essentially falling back to sociopathy and a complete disregard for anything other people say or do (because their perceptions are that other people are just out to hurt them, in the end).

While I am indeed pulling a very far-fetched reference here, there is something to be said for finding people who, for lack of a better word, accept you (in their own, "OP-is-a-fag" sort of behavioural frame), irrespective of how much "the world shits on you". This is true even if the acceptance is largely a perception-point, i.e. it's just "Well fuck, these people don't give me shit because I'm who and how I am - they treat me like I'm just any one of the random people here." If someone indeed calls OP a fag and tells him to suck dicks, they'd probably tell that to just about anyone; there's no pin-pointing the shit on someone for them being them.

[–]NuclearPotatoes 7 points8 points ago

.....one single tear.

[–]SalamanderSylph 30 points31 points ago

I concur. I go on 4chan when I am bored and want to just read random hilarious crap. The vast majority of the racist/paedophilic/etc. comments and content are all incredibly ironic and tongue in cheek. The mask of anonymity allows one to make statements without fear of them being taken out of context and assumed to be a literal portrayal of one's views.

[–]Andergard 23 points24 points ago

Also, their ostensibly offensive and retarded garbage is usually constructed very intentionally (as you mentioned, ironically and all that jazz) and surprisingly well-thought out. There's a reason why 4chan generally is the origin of Internet memes and jokes of various sorts.

For people with an academic bent, or just an interest in reading a lot of pretentious words on the subject, the Wikipedia-link to 'carnivalesque' in my previous post is a pretty good starting-point, as is exploring the concepts of 'the grotesque' and 'the other'.

[–]TheAmityvillain 18 points19 points ago

There was recently an interview of m00t uploaded somewhere on youtube where he spoke about 4chan and reddit. He emphasized that the anonymity on 4chan really puts everyone on a level playing-field, which I agree and think that's the beauty of 4chan. No one has karma, and no one seems more important than another person, so all posts are treated equally. It seems like on reddit everyone is worried about what other people think and the hivemind. People filter themselves. Whereas on 4chan people don't worry about that, no matter how shitty they think their idea might be. There's some safety in anonymity that allows you to ask anything or say anything and not worry about what people might think of you. I think that's a big part of the meme creation on 4chan.

[–]Andergard 5 points6 points ago

I think r/circlejerk is a beautiful thing, and some of the best laughs I have on Reddit is from said subreddit's posts. Truly the mirror which flatters not.

*Meeting place of internet super heroes

*One of the internet's most creative communities

*God tier mobile sites

*No board fears fragmentation by a user creating a sub board

*No flawed bandwaggon voting system

*People aren't afraid to share their opinions

Yeah, those degenerates are awful.

EDIT: Damn, I was hoping the hivemind would downvote this so I could point out bullet 7.

That one guy fucked a stolen human skull from the catacombs...

Was that an example of creativity or an opinion?

[–]fawker 23 points24 points ago

I'm thinking creativity.

[–]the_tiniest_ninja 10 points11 points ago

4chan =/= /b

Honestly, people make this generalisation way too often. While /b is the most notorious of the boards it is by no means the only one.

[–]jofus_joefucker 2 points3 points ago

I can go on reddit and see people having sex with horses.

Is this worse or better?

There are more pictures of people cumming on a horse than there are about somebody coming in a skull.

[–]Lurking_Grue 2 points3 points ago

Well.... who hasn't... ya know... like in college.

*Cough*

[–]Ortus 5 points6 points ago

*Doesn't tolerate child pornography

As far as I know, jail bait with no nudity is tolerated on /b/

[–]Vyschalla 16 points17 points ago

Jail bait with no nudity is just that, jail bait(read: girls who look younger then they are) with clothes on. Completely legal, albeit creepy as fuck.

Edit: Apparently I'm wrong as fuck, so disregard everything I said.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

Jailbait, or Johnny bait, is slang for a person who is younger than the legal age of consent for sexual activity, but physically mature enough to be mistaken for an adult, with the implication that a non-deviant older person might reasonably find them sexually attractive.

Uh, how is it creepy to be attracted to someone that looks of age? It's pretty normal/natural to be attracted to them.

[–]ladymolotov 14 points15 points ago

I was on 4chan for about 2 years before coming over here.

Reddit has plenty of degenerates. There are some subreddits that are far worse than most things I've seen on 4chan.

[–]Footballvike81 5 points6 points ago

It works out for me though because I actually hate everybody, but especially Redditors.

[–]ZealotGrunt 33 points34 points ago

Ha ha rite? Omg reddit is so perfect xD were da best upvote if u agree xD atheism

[–]Coren14 3 points4 points ago

Hey guys, guess who i just voted for? RON MUTHA FUCKIN PAUL. upvote if you think he'd be da best prez evaaaa!

[–]Sacha1996 18 points19 points ago

implying that you can't use reddit and 4chan

[–]Dokbokki 3 points4 points ago

What if 9gag is a cleverly devised plan created by 4Chan to attract children of the internet?

[–]enfdude 9 points10 points ago

Yea like Reddit is better then 4chan.

4Chan is really creative, they still have a lot of original content. Well okay on 4chan you will see a lot of bullshit too, but we have that crap here too.

We have gore on Reddit (/r/spacedicks and /r/gore or /r/beatingwomen) and we have also cp on Reddit. I saw it a few time that people posted underage girls and whenever someone said that the girl is underage he was being downvoted. I don't think that Reddit is any better then 4chan.

Also keep in mind that the Karma ruins the fun. People post to get Karma. They do repost and steal karma or downvote others so their own post get's more points. On 4chan you don't have a name or points, you do it for the fun.

Well 4chan is bad now, because everybody said crap like 4chan is sooooo bad and now all those little kids go to 4chan and think they are bad ass.

[–]PaperRockBazooka 10 points11 points ago

Yes, because reddit represents the zenith of humanity?

[–]trashguy 6 points7 points ago

A large chunk of us redditors are originally from SA/4chan.

[–]dongpal 1 point2 points ago

It's like a filter!

[–]GameDay98 1 point2 points ago

With out 4chan we wouldn't have half the posts we copied from them on reddit.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

Reddit 2012 - Now featuring tons of 14 year olds.

[–]pooptrack 63 points64 points ago

The secound you care about what internet club you're part of, you instantly become retarded.

[–]chrisd93 14 points15 points ago

As well as if you use code words to identify what club you are in, when you're not circlejerking.

[–]Roflbutts 9 points10 points ago

Wen duz teh narwhol bacon? OMG ANOTHER REDDITOR... A FRIEND?

[–]demenciacion 3 points4 points ago

not even redditors want to be friends with redditors

[–]pauklzorz 31 points32 points ago

[–]Wingthor 13 points14 points ago

And there's Reddit spectating in the background.

[–]baconatedwaffle 4 points5 points ago

Yay! Summer's here!

[–]Dexter77 17 points18 points ago

Should I know this 9GAG?

[–]MagicBob78 55 points56 points ago

No. Do not search. It's like /r/spacedicks; a place you know about or heard of, but never visit.

[–]dlev_ 21 points22 points ago

Fuck, man. I visited yesterday for the first time...images haunted me for hours. And I have had some /b/ time in my life.

edit: /r/spacedicks I mean.

[–]MagicBob78 19 points20 points ago

You know there is worse here on Reddit, right?

[–]1337n008 16 points17 points ago

[–]DaPurpleCobra 76 points77 points ago

quality fapping material

[–]Micky-D 21 points22 points ago

[–]A_PROLAPSED_ANUS 11 points12 points ago

Me, when I checked the second one.

[–]andreylosev 7 points8 points ago

I was really reluctant to click on that link, considering your username. Don't worry, it's sfw after all.

[–]TheInternetHivemind 4 points5 points ago

Why? WORST case senario it's goatse. Then you have yourself a nice fap and go on your way.

[–]wolfsktaag 13 points14 points ago

i never understood these types of rivalries

[–]are_you_slow 24 points25 points ago

Because you aren't a ten year old.

[–]logancook44 3 points4 points ago

It's like the Hatfield's and Mccoy's, only made up and no one cares.

[–]bobinush 4 points5 points ago

Sweden!

[–]MY_PENIS_IS_BLEEDING 5 points6 points ago

Who gives a shit?!?

[–]gnarlycharlie4u 4 points5 points ago

Except that battering ram will be a giant dildo.

[–]Bayshun 4 points5 points ago

Remember EBaum's World?

[–]daftpunk34 5 points6 points ago

This is the one thing that will not be re-posted to 9GAG.

[–]Enleat 8 points9 points ago

Hey, from what video is this gif from?

I love Vikings :3

[–]JacksonMcNasty 20 points21 points ago

I think this is from a Capital One commercial

[–]rithe740 1 point2 points ago

Damn Norwegians they keep coming to our beaches and destroy our sandcastles while the Germans steal our moose signs.

"Hey Sven! Where's Gustavus Adolphus?"

"....He's in Germany fighting off the Catholics!"

"Oh...How about Carolus Rex?"

"...He's in Poland fighting off the Russians and the Poles. He already beat Denmark!"

".... Goddammit time to be passive-aggressive and build quality cars and cheap furniture."

[–]whitelunick 1 point2 points ago

Does anyone here ever think about this happening to Reddit? 4chan hates us too you know.

[–]itsprobablytrue 1 point2 points ago

I wish I had a gif of 2 sand worms fighting zooming out to a mile long beach to show the value of both parties to the internet

[–]liberalis 1 point2 points ago

The battering ram needs to be an enormous cock, with a tiny plastic transexual attached to the end.

[–]DogmaJones 0 points1 point ago

[–]brkdncr 1 point2 points ago

Never incite 4chan. They take things to a level you cant prepare for.
