Censorship? (re: 4chan being down for 2 days)
From 4chan's official Twitter:
"Disappointed that we won't be able to support American Censorship Day tomorrow (americancensorship.org) due to the DDoS. Great job!"
http://mobile.twitter.com/4chan/status/136485560494735360

4chan hit with a DDoS attack, right when they were going to support this movement :

"On 11/16, Congress holds hearings on the first American Internet censorship system. This bill can pass. If it does the Internet and free speech will never be the same. Join all of us on the 16th to stop this bill."
http://americancensorship.org/

Make of that what you will.

1. Can't be.
The DDoS was started by around Sunday or Saturday. So the real question is who started is DDoS, it could be lulzsec, bronies, or kimmo alm.

2. As if a few geeks could sustain a DDoS for this many days?
And they would choose this very week to do it?

4. 4chan is down due to a DDOS attack, probably from rival Internet groups
Think Jets and Sharks with less dancing.

6. Less purpose, too, I suspect.
Why people find it "fun" to shit in the punch, I have no idea.

I don't go to that site, but I understand it is popular.

9. Much like DU, all of the above.
Groups of persons, at "places" and things (like websites).
