Are anonymous dead?

this. rules 1 and 2 should apply to all boards

>It was never alive to begin with
they bought down paypal for a day in their height dude. Lulzsec hit many majour companies too.
>It got out of hand like the kekistan thing
what in the living fuck are you on about? Anonymous predates all that pepe 'kekistan' bullshit, it's completely unrelated. Newfag.

boomer or 11 year old detected. Lulzsec was its own thing and so was lizard squad and all the other faggot groups. Anonymous was not ''kekistan'' (learn how to read, fag), he said that the popularity with Anonymous was almost synonymous to the Kekistan Jow Forums movement which both started out as short-lived phenomenons and spiraled out of control by foreign users like redditors and youtubers.

Anonymous is not a group of people.
Anonymous is an idea.

t. Anonymous

lulzsec had issues apparently, but anonymous 1.0 (the original) died a long time ago.
But there are a growing number of haxzors worldwide regardless.

Anonymous was originally a villain.
Now it's a fucking SJW piece of shit.

No. We are alive. Join us today.

Obviously, because they are generic "muh drumpf" sjws now.

>britbong detected

>caring about IRL shit
Fuck off normalfaggot.

There's a bunch of SJWs that decided to use the moniker, then they dragged the name thru the mud.

Nothing personnel kid

So it's still a villain?

>we wuz lejium
Yeah it was never really alive, it's just a normie meme.

lol

>DDOS
>brought down
Fuck off with this cock sucking. DDOSing is not hacking and should not be respected at all.

t. Mod in Op megaupload IRC and was personally was responsible for one of those big sites going down during when I pointed a fleet of rooted boxes at it.

This.

This.

People forget that Anonymous was formed at a joke, when an organization tried to stop people on the internet from laughing at them.

Now normies got involved and turned it into some kind of virtue signalling crusade, so the initial people who were doing it for fun just stopped being active.

That's how Anonymous went to shit.

>anonymous did it for just teh lulz
no that was lulzsec

Newfaggot detected. Anonymous hacked a forum for epileptic people and made everything fucking flash bright lights. EVERYTHING anonymous did was for the lulz.

Is this the definition of cringe?

Anonymous was just a way to troll scientology lawyers in the very beginning. Then it was a loose term used to refer to people on /b/ doing battle toads raids. Finally, the normies co-opted it and it became something SUPER SERIOUS XD

yeah it’s just no longer /ourvillain/

lol you're 3 years too late

They take it too seriously there.

they're in the tor network lurking and shitposting on even more autistic imageboards.

It's like when people hear on CNN about bitcoin and immediately buy into it because "it's the next big thing".
I remember stumbling upon Jow Forums in general in like 6th grade because friends and I looked for some fucked up shit on the internet. Youtube was some shitty looking video site nobody cared about, twitter had just become the new thing.
My friends eventually moved on but i still came here for the occasional lulz and raids.
And nobody in the real world even cared back then, it felt like some kind of twisted youth club where you met up with some of you buddies in the woods to set someones cat on fire.
Today some celebrities bumhole get posted and the media is all over it.
The point is once things reach a critical mass they are inevitably turning normie, i mean half of you fags have twitter and facebook accounts or are on plebbit and you wonder why suddenly /b/ is full of sissy porn and Jow Forums can't code for shit.

*sip*

based boomer

Im dead

Will the real Anonymous please stand up

>t. newfag
user != lulzsec

*stands up*

any suggestions for autism imageboards?

Did the group ever accomplish anything meaningful? I recall reading about operations where they took the MPAA website offline for a day or something in retaliation for the MPAA attacking TPB.

yeah, after they turned fbi informants and got everybody arrrsted

>As a civil disobedience group?
Yes. Very.
>As a hacking and trolling collective?
Yes. Mostly.
>As a much of shitposting human debris?
Never.

>Jow Forums joke
>Some people get serious
>retarders want status serious people
>retarders become full cringe retarders
>Joke just die

Nazis,antisemitics,anonymous,alt rigth,Qanon,....

First define it. It was just a bunch of anons trying to stir some shit up for shits and giggles while trying to look cool. In that sense Anonymous is pretty much the same as it was. The crowd of fartsniffing "let's safe the world" people who 'joined' vanished long ago because they never understood why "Anonymous" made such a buzz in the first place.

In its original form yeah, it didn't last too much longer after this youtube.com/watch?v=128IR21ZQa0

It was mostly a bunch of /b/tards raiding furry forums, fucking with fox news, and voluntary botnets to break into admin panels.

>Now it's a fucking SJW piece of shit
Your perceptions are incorrect as we have never been tied to one form of justice or another. We have never been associated with a single ideology, other than true justice. You cannot politicize our legion. We do not fit into your box of convenience. Not all of us wear masks. Most of us are still among you, and you'd never know.

I am humbled in your presence, my negro.

but i'm alive faggot
or are you talking about the front for glow niggers

>set someones cat on fire

I remember the hell which got unleashed on people who actually posted pics of that. I'd even say stuff like this was the start. That and keeping internet idiots/lolcows in check. That battle is long lost though.

>Warning - Truthbomb incoming!

FightClub was just a movie. A good one, but still...

Was anyone here actually around in anonymous's hayday? I was only 14 at the time but I have a lot of fond memories just from hanging out in the forums and IRC's alone.

The IRC's were great, I think one of the main ones for a while was vox something. Does anyone have any idea what I'm referring to?

nope

we are not gone, but we have not had a need to come together again

You are forgiven

yes. they've pretty much fallen into obscurity after the revelations that assange and other internet heroes are just russian actors.

FightClub

What the fu- what?

M8 u 4 real

Nah, I think it was just its natural course. Anonymous came when the internet still had the veneer of something new and revolutionary for a lot of people. Nowadays everyone who's not sitting in an African mudhut uses it on a daily basis. Anonymous' shenanigans just became trite as the net absorbed much of its culture.

Jesus Christ just stop it, you're not even scaring the little kids anymore

It's actually shocking how close Anonymous and Kekistan are. Shitty jokes Jow Forums tourists ran hard with that were eventually labeled terrorist organizations by clueless media lackeys with nothing better to do than make up news.

The name was co-opted by SJWs playing pretend hacker by DDoSing random targets.

They seem to have entirely disappeared after that crackdown on easily accessible botnet rentals on TOR, though.

Damn, this takes me back

Is this the hacker known as Jow Forums?

>Scaring kids
Just stating fact. When we need to activate, we will. The kiddos should feel safe. We are still the final boss of the internet.

It started with raids and pranks and then some hacker groups that were responsible for swatting around 06/07, it got all tied together, and the resulting video made by Fox created a ton of memes on here because of how outrageously ignorant it was. It created more attraction for 14 year olds to be on here to be edgy and across the internet too, there were several sites adopting the whole "we r anonymouz hackurz" too which eventually grew into pretty big IRC networks later on. The whole SJW part of it started in 08 with Chanology, with the "We fight for a cause" gay bullshit, from there on if I remember it was like until 2010-2011 it took to social media more with Twitter, things just spiraled further down. People now see it as "We fight for your rights, open the borders!" revolutionary shit when it originally was about raiding some place like Habbo and calling everyone a nigger and blocking the pool, and would happily dox illegals and report them to ICE for the lulz. But you won't see much of that anymore because they've all grown up, like the rest of the "hackers" that were part of it. The new gen of internet kids are more tech illiterate and less free to do those things nowadays. So yeah it's dead, it's been dead since 2009 and kept being regurgitated.

Anyone that has been around for a while and sees "Anonymous" I'm pretty sure they cringe as much as I do. I still occasionally see paki names with V for vendetta as profile pics commenting on linux videos "KaLi Linonx is da Best" on YouTube.

>muh segret ascii pigturename gode
It's bait, guys. Abort

user is not wrong.

This. They don't know that Jow Forums is inherently leftist.

>final boss of the internet
That's Google.

Technology isn't all about coding, sweetie.

Yes. New anonymous is bunch of larping sjw.

I really hope this is bait

All I ever see of them is a shitty Facebook page that co-opted the name and they just share news stories about underground paedophile rings, how weed should be legal and boring SJW shit.

I always see Chanology as a watershed movement, when things moved from "for the lulz" chaotic neutral style messing about to "lawful faggot" when people started protesting in real life, with political motive and an objective in mind. Gone were the days of stuff like Habbo raids, Hal Turner raids, messing with football, doxxing random people and whatever else. Instead it was all about fighting for a cause and justice for people who couldn't fight.

That paved the way for "hactivism" groups like Anonymous and all I ever hear now is people on my social media sharing shitty Facebook news. Hell, I remember seeing some incel shit unironically complaining about chads and staceys and how women don't like real classy men like themselves.
