Le VanCleef. No one likes le faggot. Le MonSole. Seriously, you can't ask for seriousness in a Scientology thread. That way lies Madness.

Le Internet - Business grave
Jumping back to an earlier tangent - one of the amusing things about Teh Haet directed at 4chan from SA is that 4Chan was a spinoff from ADTRW (SA anime forum) in the first place.

Suggs is doing Fish Finger adverts at the moment. It's really sad.

It's got to be a step up from that terrible karaoke quiz he used to host on Channel 5.

Ahahahah, the fucking retards from the *Chans have taken time away from posting lolcats and CP to "declare war" on Scientology? These are the same people that mustered an amazing 5 neckbeards to picket a furry convention in the cold rain (and the furries actually took mercy on them and gave them umbrellas).
WE ARE ANONYMOUS, WE KNOWS OUR DOWNLOADABLE DDOS PROGRAMS, WE KNOW HOW TO REPEAT LAME MEMES, WE ARE LEGION WHEN IT COMES TO CALLING TOM GREEN'S SHOW AND GRIEFING HABBO HOTEL, WE ARE LARGELY 14 YEARS OLD, WE ARE PUMPED UP WITH SELF CONFIDENCE BECAUSE WE GOT A MENTION ON A LOCAL NEWS CHANNEL
SA Goons don't have the attention span for this shit, GameFAQs is even more retarded than it was when I signed up there when I was...shit, I think I was 16 when the forums first opened there. YouTubers are only interested in faux-internet celebrities, Ron Paul, and poorly made 9/11 Truth videos, and the fratkids who use facebook are too stupid to use a computer for anything else.
What a fucking joke. They should be embarrassed.
Just for perspective, I was a constant lurker on SA before even the eFront days, I was one of the first thousand people to sign up on GameFAQ's boards, and I'm an original /b/tard as embarrassed as it makes me to say that.
I want to spit in the face of the Wired writer who thought this was worth the bandwidth to post.

Which makes them about 900x more interesting and important than scientology.

Scientology is about as sinister and evil as a tax evasion/extortion scam can get but bitch please, 4chan? Important? Meaningful? Worth news? HACKERS? 'powerful' enough to kick Scientology off the internet? This is a joke. 4chan needs to stick to it's little corner niche of the internet.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this stuff mentioned elsewhere, but it's worth reposting: Operation FreakoutOperation Snow WhiteOh, I know about that. They are responsible for people's deaths and media manipulation, and they're still pursuing some old guy who made mean posts about them on usenet.

I think 4chan terrorizing scientology, even on the internet, is fantastic. Sorry. I simply disagree with you. Serious, useful, or not, it's fucking hilarious and awesome.
Also, it's more impressive than anything anyone else has done against them. Which amounts to, let me calculate, nothing. No one has done shit. And germany is dragging their heels on the witchhunt.

2chan is a Japanese only image/discussion board with categories for just about everything under the sun. It's pretty fucking huge. 4chan is basically the English/US version of that. There's boards for a lot of different topics, the one in question is /b/ which is "random". It's basically just a place to be anonymous and retarded on the internet. Like most internet subculture things it has its own lingo and a gigantic amount of really fucking stupid memes ("TEH REI", Desu, etc). Since it's a gigantic anonymous board of assholes they can occasionally get together and grief people for fun. They harassed Tom Green's show for quite a while, they griefed the living shit out of Habbo Hotel a few times, as well as a few other small things. The place is 90% "newfags" and children from GameFAQs now though who fancy themselves internet revolutionaries or something. 4chan's memes have gotten around a bit. Epic Fail Guy is about the best known one here I would say. I think 4chan terrorizing scientology, even on the internet, is fantastic. Sorry. I simply disagree with you. Serious, useful, or not, it's fucking hilarious and awesome.

It's funny but I roll my eyes every time I see it getting press.

But Anonymous can include anyone, so it's not just them terrorising scientology. The publicity will generate wider participation in what they are doing than just regular imageboard users, but still calling themselves Anonymous. So it really does become the Internet vs Scientology, not lolcats anonymous.

Press attention hurts Scientology more than anything else, so I see it as a very positive thing.

Actually, it was suspended for usage. It looks like the site was just on shitty hosting.

And they're back in business.
While chan attempts are pitful at best, the media really caught on to it and are using it to basically wipe the floor with Scientology.

One thing can be said about *Chan. They really, badly hate scientology. And odds are, this brought them together against a common enemy. It will take more than shiny to make them bored this time.

Can you blame them though? L. Ron Hubbard was a creative liar with an over inflated sense of self worth on top of being shockingly sick in the head. He created an alternate reality where the people who were trying to make him realize this (psychologists) were evil. The fact that anyone could be so stupid as to mistake these paranoid schizophrenic ramblings as a religion is enough to make your blood boil if you let yourself think about it. I don't believe violence is a solution, but maybe the world would be a better place if Vikings were still around. Just randomly, without explanation. Suddenly a crude battering ram breaks open the CoS headquarters, all it's wealth is taken, and David Miscaivige is dragged out into the street to have his rib cage pried open to reveal his lungs taking their last few panicked breaths. ...

Is it wrong to admit that I do kind of want to head back to London for this on the 10th? Aside from the possibility of Scientologists linking this back to me? Fur teh lulz.

Yeah, that was pathetic. Especially given that the Scientologist they sent out was really just a nice guy (as many are.) Those kids could seriously benefit from some lessons in rhetoric - but arguing with a scientologist is useless anyways. Here are some clips of scientologists who are NOT nice guys: http://xenutv.bogie.nl/originals/4th.htmThe best part is the tactic they finally have to resort to to get rid of the guy: wearing him out because he's fat. But he gets in some great cracks along the way "Don't look this man in the eyes, he's an OC8! He can kill you with a thought!"

Anonymous would do so much better if they pooled money to pay Sasha Baron Cohen to come and destroy Scientology for them. If your sole tactic is to grief someone, you may as well hire a professional griefer who can do it much better.

I don't think their goal is to "punk" scientology.
At this point, Anonymous is practically manipulating the press. It's impressive. Ho ho ho, did you see what I did there? I did. It was awesome.
