![]() Can we agree on this point? Xuanwu 19:48, 5 August 2006 (UTC) (Sorry if this paragraph goes all over the place, I have a headache and really need some sleep.) I don't think we should add raids of specific places, because this invites additions to the article of many, many raids that have no notability whatsoever, even if these additions aren't by your hand. The date of the raid in this case is not important, only the fact that it IS a raid and that it DID happen, since it means /b/ people perform raids of some sort. Showing /b/ people doing a raid on Habbo provides this proof, with no need to verify the date. ![]() You can't say they have without providing proof of at least one forum invasion. My purpose here is to back up the statement in the associated paragraph that /b/ has done forum invasions. However, I think we can agree that at least a raid on Habbo occurred on a date, which is how I've now included it. I can understand the argument that a specific raid on a specific date may not be verifiable. If we have to cite this, I've seen entries in the Wikiworld article that might suffice. ![]() However, I don't see why we couldn't mention that /b/ HAS carried out raids. As such, until /b/ goes off and does something that gets widespread attention, or something that drastically changes the atmosphere of the boards, I don't believe we should mention specific raids in this article, as raids have changed the atmosphere of the board. However, due to the frequent pruning of the threads and the lack of documentation surrounding these raids, it is quite hard, and impossible in some cases, to verify them, though I have seen each and everyone of the raids mentioned with my own eyes. One doesn't need to do much more than post a URL to the site they wish to be raided, because most of the time /b/tards take the bait, no matter if the reason for raiding is "justified" or not. Many /b/tards tend to look down upon other forums, sometimes with disgust depending on the forum, and raids of forums, games like Habbo Hotel, and personal pages like MySpace pages are regularly carried out by bored /b/tards. Examples include the Biblocality raid, the Habbo raid, the Naruto-Kun forums raid, during which /b/ effectively disabled Naruto-Kun forums, the Mitchell Henderson MySpace raid, and the KKK chat raid. I did find this, which I assume is a parody of the incident discussed above, Throughout its history, though the raids have increased in numbers dramatically since the Habbo Hotel raids, /b/ has raided multiple forums. I'll try to pin it down, although I don't know how much success I'll have, since 99% of their threads were deleted within a few hours. Ryūlóng 00:01, 4 August 2006 (UTC) It's possible, although the name doesn't ring a bell. Or was that when they invaded /b/? I cannot remember. Ruthfulbarbarity 23:52, 3 August 2006 (UTC) I believe it was a Naruto forum. As I said I'm not too familiar with this area so it's possible that this incident was inconsequential in and of itself, but I was just curious if there were rival boards or websites that 4chan has traded barbs with in the past. I don't recall the precise name of the website, but I think it was also anime-themed in nature. A few months ago a group of people tried to attack the Protest Warrior forums by spamming the board with fake advertisements for 4chan, which presumably were meant to discredit them. I'm not too familiar with this particular website, but it seems like it might have potential conflicts with other boards, although I'm not sure that these incidents are necessarily worthy of inclusion in this article.
