Google[Bot]???

it's good that people look and talk about it if they find something strange. one day a member approached me, telling me there was a user named "hokubot" looking at the forums. which was, in fact, me, trying out user permissions. i also remember how "anonymous" logged into the admin panel on oka back then... which turned out to be zilchy. no idea why it displayed him this way, but after the 4chan incident, we were all terrified. <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: -->

well, better ten wrong alerts than one missed incident.

4chan incident? o_o

Long story. Short version: trolls attempted to raid OKA and were defeated and beaten back under their bridges.

trolls that called themselves "anonymous". i stayed up 50 hours straight back then, my record so far.

Aren't they the same people that despise Scientology? (I only like those ones <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s -->)

And isn't there some like.. internet troll site where they nitpick at everyone else and ignore themselves because they hate their lives that's dedicated to 4chan?

Wait, that was Anonymous that did that? Legend <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Serious question I never asked at the time - rather than trying to beat everyone back, if it was new members trolling why not just delete dodgy accounts and make all new accounts personal activation only - and if it was some kind of actual hacking, why not just take the site down for the duration (ie until they got bored two days later)?

That's....basically what we did. Except that site wasn't taken down so much as FELL down thanks to errors or something (zilchy knows).

4Chan can take their delicious cake and *censored*

Anonymous isn't just a Scientology thing, look it up on Wikipedia.

Thank you.

There's already a discussion on Anonymous in Off-Topic, mainly regarding the Scientology protests. If you want to discuss them, go there for it.
