Gosh. I guess they should think a better activity than this. Don't mess other people efforts. You love war, do it between you.

I got a lot of nice information thru Twitter and I feel very sad to know that there are some people misuse this nice service.

They definitely won't be doing it anymore. A raid was made on /b/ recently by ANOTHER site 4chan is at war with, GaiaOnline. I think a few thousand people raided, and it helped close the site. So, long story short, 4chan is closed down.

Hey now, not all of us who go to 4chan are twittertackers. Believe it or not, there's a difference between a 4channer and a /b/tard. Some of us just go there for the porn and possibly a bite of creepypasta.

these are old problems... that have been solved before. the fact that Tweeter chose to ignore and provide an easily exploitable service is the issue.

that site doesn't do raids anymore, moot said so, don't bother him about it.

"so the admin can make some extra money from the increased traffic."
pretty dumb man. that site loses money as traffic increases. Ads come nowhere near the cost of bandwidth. If a site like that could turn a profit there would be a lot of copycat sites jumping on the bandwagon as it is moot is awesome but an incredible business failure.

"troubled teenagers so it's unlikely they realize they are being used as spammers"
either trolling or a giant retard.

Why do people have nothing better to do than go on stupid sites like Twitter and Facebook?

I guess I'd have to wonder the same about someone who spends their time googling pictures of gorilla penises. or would the plural use actually be peni?

seemingly orchestrated an attack on Twitter

Re: 4chan Versus Twitter: Round One

"I think it's unlikely they are related, the 4Chan attack used newly formed accounts (for the most part) and by the sounds of it at least some of the accounts suspended are old accounts."

These stories are over exaggerated and the whole scheme is a deliberate attempt to gain more press for 4chan, so the admin can make some extra money from the increased traffic. The users are mostly troubled teenagers so it's unlikely they realize they are being used as spammers, instead they see themselves as rulers of the internet. The forum is anonymous based so who knows who started it all (the admins of the site cough).

"In February 2009 the Washingon Post reported that moot had attended Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia for a few semesters before dropping out. It reported that moot was living with his mother while looking for a way to make money from owning 4chan."
