4chan invades epilepsy forum, hurts a bunch of people.
 
Remember that voice in your head when you were twelve or thirteen that said 'Okay, point of no return, stop, or you're NOT going to like the consequences.'
Nowadays it seems like less and less people have that voice.

Apparently all those dumbass underage cunts at 4chan, or more likely /b/, have 'raided' some forum for epileptics and left a large flashing GIF all over the place.

When will this shit stop? I mean, it's not exactly the gleaming gem of internet phemomena, but surely there's some way to moderate these bastards, right? I remember thinking
'Oh 4chan, you're so misunderstood' and proceeded to advocate it, but no, not this time. fuck their meme's, fuck the shitload of fuck that is /b/, and fuck the whole 'Anonymous is legion' concept as a whole, sure they have project chanology, which is pretty cool and they are doing some good there, but this is fucking ridiculous.

Thoughts?

I have returned from my abcence and am immediately flung into a state of disgust.
I usually stay well away from 4chan, but because I found it a little... immature and unstructured. But this is like the internet version of torturing a kitten.

May I ask as to where you found this information?

Leto 03-28-2008 07:49 PM

And you cunts bashed me for not liking 4chan like 3 months ago. Fuck y'all.

Mac Sirloin 03-28-2008 08:05 PM

My friend at LueLinks. We writhed in mutual disgust.

I don't think I did, Super Munch.

Leto 03-28-2008 08:37 PM

call me Leto. I really want my name changed, it's kind of a Rich the Intern situation.

:

'Okay, point of no return, stop, or you're NOT going to like the consequences.'
The reason why this is happening is because theres a large amount of people doing it, forming a mob mentality. And if you're 12 or 13, you've probably just seen Fight Club, and you think it's cool to be a pessimistic asshole.

the cancer has now killed /b/, not that it was a huge loss

Unorthodox 03-28-2008 09:00 PM

Say only 5% of 4chans users are complete morons (only 5%? :P), that's a shit load of people who are willing to harass others. As usual in life it's the minority that fuck things up for the majority.

All in all, 4chan is funny for the odd lulz but it's out-weighed by complete fail.

Disgruntled Intern 03-28-2008 09:37 PM

Who cares?

Seems pretty funny to me.

Strike Witch 03-28-2008 09:51 PM

Eh, the internet is full of dicks.

Live with it, and stop unwittingly giving them handjobs.

Still, that IS pretty low.

such a DI response, DI.

skillyaslig 03-29-2008 03:25 AM

Uhh, sorry to sound ignorant, but what is 4chan?

Anyway, even if I do not know what it is, doing that type of thing is a really bastard-assly thing to do.

Hell, this is when your Conscience needs a gorram tazer gun...

Hobo 03-29-2008 04:59 AM

It'd be a funny myth, but as truth it's slightly less funny. SLIGHTLY

Zerox 03-29-2008 05:13 AM

Things like 4chan do indeed suck, but as much as I disagree with this if it's true...

An epilepsy forum? Seriously? Does such a thing exist...?

Encyclopaedia Dramatica has some issues as well I reckon. Some lulz but again, undermined by the level of phail.

The internet shouldn't need to be moderated, because of what it is, that also makes such possible moderating pretty difficult. I'd say any possible forums or whatever that may be susceptible to wankers like that, need more secure entry methods as a member, like here (I think it's here) where you're not a registered member able to post until the mods let you. They can then ban any new members like that anyway, and here's only so much you can do to a forum by posting spam or whatever.

I don't care how sadistic this may seem... but that's so fucking priceless I wish I would have come up with it. Leaving flashes on an epileptics forum... whahaha.

Question, did anyone die from this?

Mac Sirloin 03-29-2008 09:19 AM

From what I heard, no, but apparently 1000's of people were fucked up, but that might be bad memory.

Also, 711chan was involved. big surprise.

Omg... How did I NOT know?!

U R Teh Letoh?!

Wtf is 4chan, and wtf does /b/ stand for?

Hobo 03-29-2008 11:57 AM

/b/ is the random board on 4chan, a huge internet macro forum.

Salamander 03-29-2008 02:07 PM

That's sick, and not funny at all.

There are too many chans. I pretty much lump them all together. There's like, 420chan, 315chan, 2chan etcetc. What distinguishes 711chan?

wat

dis mite be in relevance to an imaeg of a small dog i made saying 'I ARE NO LAYZR', or actually serious... lol yes

Strike Witch 03-29-2008 03:50 PM

2ch was the original, a large japanese forum. 4chan ripped off of that, and all the other are basically either splinter factions of the same crap or spin offs.

Alcar 03-29-2008 06:03 PM

We need 2OWF.

Alcar...

I agree. People take advantage of the anonymity the internet provides. 4chan just fails in general, though. ;(

T-nex 03-30-2008 09:08 AM

I wonder if these people realize that someone could have died from this.. That would basically make them murderers.

Havoc 03-30-2008 09:31 AM

One could wonder what you're doing on the internet or behind a computer screen for that matter, if you're such a heavy epileptic that you spasm out at the first sign of something flashy. The internet is riddled with flashy pictures at random locations.

Nate 03-30-2008 10:26 AM

... which is why you'd attend a forum for epileptics, so you could have a safe haven away from the flashing and strobing and boobies of the rest of the internets.

Fuzzle Guy 03-30-2008 11:20 AM

Lol. I know it's cruel, and I know it's sadistic, but as an idea it's wonderfully funny!

Laser 03-30-2008 11:24 AM

slightly funny yes...

Wonderfully funny? No

Wings of Fire 03-30-2008 12:06 PM

Wonderfully funny as in it shows you the total idiocy and patheticness of puerile semi retarded delinquants as they use their gormless humor to bully those less fortunate than them purely because a, they can and b, fuxxor soceity!? Yes.

Why would you stay away from boobies? Sure, you'd be in trouble if a girl flashed them, but still...

Anonyman! 03-31-2008 03:38 PM

Come on guys. They did it for the lulz.


In all seriousness, this is quite not awesome and I am disgusted by the stupidity of the /b/tards. Really now...

But in all fairness I get a feeling that this forum is a /b/ in it's own right, just for more intelligent people.

Leto 03-31-2008 10:41 PM

If this forum comprised entirely of the Stupid Shit thread (or whatever the fuck it's called now), then yes, I would agree with you. Or if it comprised only of you and everyone who laughs at 4chan stuff in aforementioned thread, agreed again.

MikeW 04-01-2008 03:20 AM

Oh man. I'm one of the protesters against the Church of Scientology, and I really don't understand how people could be blaming us for this thing. The people who run sites like 7chan are against our protests. Scientology is against its members taking medication to stop them from getting seizures, for example, Tory "Magoo" Christman

Jocelyn Dorfmann died from an epileptic seizure in Scientology care in France.

Heribert Pfaff died from an epileptic seizure in a Scientology hotel in Clearwater.

James Stewart committed suicide after CoS put in him in a Condition of Doubt for having epileptic seizures in public.

Strike Witch 04-01-2008 12:06 PM

The hell?

Go away militant nerd.

Laser 04-01-2008 12:11 PM

MikeW this thread isn't really about the Church of Scientology

I have to say those protests are for a good cause, but executed horribly. I've seen gay pride parades with better results.

4chan strikes another slice of chaos and danger onto the internet. Bravo, dirtbags.

Thank you! God, finally some who uses the word "comprise" right. Oh sweet jesus...

Anyway, yeah, that's rotten what they did.

Mac Sirloin 04-02-2008 08:59 AM

MikeW was just showing the good that 4channers have done. Don't call him out for pointing out how, even though it has faults, Project Chanology is doing some good.

Strike Witch 04-02-2008 01:17 PM

Yeah, but what the fuck does it have to do with epilepsy and this forum?
