yeah 420 chan had it, but most of the site shown was from 4chan. And of course, naturally, we just attacked this shit out of them for it.
as for the ultimate evil: yeah, but you can amazing dicussion out of them if you play it right: I have two full threads saved for a report on Opinion on East manga growing more popular then Western cartoon. I've learned more about cars then I should have ever learned.
I think its all the present notions of the site itself. Granted, I'm not going to disagree with anybody here, I'm just saying: two sides to the coin.
We? Did you bother adding to the DoS attack? Or do you feel that simply visiting and posting makes you accountable for what some of the people who visit the site do?
And then in the context of "4chan is evil" you immediately distance yourself. Why? Don't want the negative aspects to be associated with you? So it's okay to be associated when the news sensationalizes 4chan as a "cool, uber-hacker group", but the horrible, grotesque image swapping, the porn sharing, and all the senseless bullshit that makes up regular posting there has nothing to do with you, right?
It's either we or they. Choose one and stick to it.
Anyway, 4chan is 4chan; it's just a site, and an Internet mob is just a mob. DoS attacks and messing with MySpace accounts is trivial crap. None of that makes 4chan more than an anonymous bunch of (at best) everyday people emboldened by their own anonymity, and it certainly doesn't make them an underground organization of super hackers.
what the fuck are you talking about? I never distanced myself from that. I said it "yeah, I'm not going to bother trying to say 'na, we don't do that funky shit'". All I said was two sides to a coin: they're really fucking smart based on the subject they stay in, which is divided up on site. I'm not even going to try and hide that we have porn, gay porn, lesbian, and straight up nasty ass porn, hell I won't even try and hide the fact I've posted up in those threads, or the fact you can actually find me tripfaggin up in there. But talk to the guys in weapons or auto or tech, and its like speaking a brand new fucking language: their knowledge of cars/guns/computers because insane. Like I said: their assholes, but you CAN get a good conversation out of them.
Way to miss the point there, Ramsus.
The only reason I use they is because THEY do stuff, I just kinda sit back and watch because I don't even know when they raid things. Can't claim what you don't do.
What valuable point did I miss? Did anything I say conflict with your point that there are some honestly knowledgeable people in the 4chan community? I didn't, because I understood that aspect of what you were saying, and the point of my post wasn't to argue with you.
I simply assumed that you were subconsciously managing your association with the site's good points and bad points through your pronoun usage, since that's what it seemed like, and then pointing out what an ass that makes you. I'm not so sure now though, because apparently you're just fucking hopeless when it comes to pronouns and clear language to begin with. Otherwise, you'd realize that "THEY" is about as distant as it gets.
Besides that, two sides to what coin? You sound like a fucking idiot. Like I said, it's a community of everyday people emboldened by anonymity and several layers of technological indirection. Nothing that goes on there is surprising, given the environment, and none of it means the posters there are in any way all that different from anyone else. It certainly doesn't deny them the possibility of being knowledgeable or skilled in any way, yet alone the possibility of displaying those traits.
Anyway, let me point out the misunderstanding:
yeah 420 chan had it, but most of the site shown was from 4chan. And of course, naturally, we just attacked this shit out of them for it.
It's WE when "WE" "ATTACK" them.
as for the ultimate evil: yeah, but you can amazing dicussion out of them if you play it right: I have two full threads saved for a report on Opinion on East manga growing more popular then Western cartoon. I've learned more about cars then I should have ever learned.

It's THEM when it's ULTIMATE EVIL. Not only that, but you talk about "playing" them. The tone just smacks of "I'm not one of
them, I just hang out with them," or "I'm not a pirate; I just hang out with them because I like rum." Maybe it wasn't intentional, but that doesn't matter much when that's how it reads.
You could have simply said, "Despite what it seems, we have some pretty knowledgeable posters at 4chan, and I've gotten some pretty good discussion going there before: I have two full threads saved for a report on Opinion on Eastern manga growing more popular than Western cartoon, and I've learned more about cars than I should have ever learned.
