What does the acroynm DDoS stand for?

/b/ is a steaming pile a of angry, everything ending in -ist crap. If it's been attacked then good.

Dedicated denial of service.

/b/ is just fine. In fact, so is the rest of 4chan. Although it amuses me to see how many people use those terms interchangeably.

It's a Denial of Service attack.

You bombard the server with more requests that it can handle making it impossible for anyone to use.

You know you've lost perspective when you say things like this.

I was referring to it's current state of accessibility. Quality wise...well, y'know, gore.

I don't, but there again, I guess I'm better off.

Surely there'll be hell to pay afterwards?

Last time I checked, there was such a thing as Rules 1 & 2

I wonder how many people unfamiliar with 4chan just went there to 'check it out'
Think about what you have done.

Yeah, 'cause rules 1&2 are gonna stop the influx of 13-year-olds now. The only rule that matters is Rule 34.

always a good rule

Actually, the most important rule is the Nazi-Effect rule (forgot the number)

IMAGE REMOVED FOR VIOLATION OF DAKKA FORUM RULES.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT OF ANY IMAGE YOU POST.

Ah, rule 36. Good times.


Also, rule 47 is very prevalent these days.

Can someone post a link to all these rules? I only knew of Godwin's law and Rule 34 (*shudder*).

EDIT: terribly sorry, the .jpeg was not loading properly on my PC.

Thats the name of it!
Not the Nazi-Effect, its Godwin's Law....

#44 speaks the truth.

I think I should consider myself lucky for not knowing what most of those things (i.e. "weeabo") are.

4chan = sewer of the internet. commence flaming.

After reading that, then staring eye to eye with your avatar makes me think of it as ''Your move.''

Am I the only one that cracks up upon seeing your avatar?

I remember a thread a couple days ago, stating that is anyone got Trips, the internet would shut down.

He got 666. Irony FTW.

What has been seen, cannot be unseen...

Yes you can.

Just click the delete button (located on back of neck).

Or go into your kitchen and delete the cookies (by eating them).

My wife hates when i go on 4chan.
"are you looking at porn" after seeing my screen

Not intentionally

I once saw a thread where every 1 in 3 people got dubs. It was amassing.

BTW, to the guy who took down 4chan, you know what this means?

If 4chan is the sewer of the internet ...

What does this make goatse?



That's an IP over here. The similarity to goatse is unnerving.
(Things once seen cannot be unseen).

A few things:
'DDoS' means 'Distributed Denial of Service', the last person to post an image with profanity on it got banned, and 4chan is crap.

It's not revolutionary or counterhegemonic - it's just the online equivalent of a toilet cubicle wall.

Why... just why?

I will respond in meme fashion "This is why we can't have nice things"

I'm guilty of this, despite using a bunch of different branches of 4chan. I think I'm just too lazy to type /b/ sometimes. I mean, come onnnnn. I have to reach all the way over to /, then type b then reach alllll the way over to / again. It's all just a big pain in the rear. I might as well just type 4chan every time, since people clearly know the difference and can make that decision themselves.

Man, I'm really digging some of the other boards. /fa is pretty awesome so far /x/ is cool too. Even the anime boards are cool. Maybe I'll actually stay away from /b/ for a while now

This should also be on the Rule of the Internet

Perfect analogy.

4chan is stupid. /b/ isn't even the worst part of it. There's a channel (or w/e the gak they call it) where people discuss Hentai.
