Ya know, back in the 60s and 70s, activists had ideals and a certain morality that stood up against oppression. They didn't persecute innocent people who only defended themselves. Geeze, even the Mafia has more morals than this stuff exhibits (see last post).
I'd really like to know what Anonymous stands for and against? Or is it just general rage that destroys for the fun of it?
Its just for the fun, I don't really think that group can be taken so seriously, when I read others posting their thankfulness to them I am really amazed how naive some people may be, and I don't really think some of the anonymous whatever would be thinking the same of the users of ths forum. Anonymous as I remember have hacked the psn network, where's the point on hacking that network? to bother the playstation gamers? where's the point on hacking facebook? because it's just for the lulz. If they are not the anonymous group I think they are please correct me in case.
I have been in a trolling group that indeed were causing problems here and there, a bunch of guys between 30 and 20, they got power so they did what they wanted, but come on I was 14 haha, some of them were almost 40. And really, there wasn't a real plan, just a bunch playing to be 007.
It wasn't that hard to destroy a forum, there are those spambots and don't remember how they call it, the concept was a bomb that posted lot of ads about pornography, kitchen articles, etc. At the end the forum was unusable, so no one was able to post, we did it to a forum related to a big online store. The thing is that, if they really want to hack or destroy this forum as that post says, they haven't and there should be a reason as always.
But if they do that, well, what a hit it may be to cut the network isn't it? Divide and conquer.
