We FINALLY found a home in The Couv! Looking forward to having all of our belongings shipped there next week. Meanwhile, been living out of a bedroom in my sister-in-law's place. MAJOR suckage!

Thanks for asking, though. :)

The Return of ABM.

Interesting article on Boxxy. I thought her stuff was cute.
 
Wow, those guys need to get lives. Threatening to post private info about her if she doesn't leave the internet? What, they run the internet? Big talk from a bunch of anonymous ass clowns.
 
4chan does pretty much run this shit.
 
I liked Boxxy. I thought she was cute too.

4chan is a site with an image board (a place where people post images to start threads and people comment on the images) that's populated by aggressively angsty kids. Racism, sexism, homophobia, pedophilia and pretty much anything fly free there. It's considered the breeding ground for most internet memes but it's also the net equivalent of Mos Eisley Cantina....the "most wretched hive of scum and villany." ;)

WTF is 4chan?

It's 4chan.org, which is a site that was originally set up to share images in an anonymous bulletin board format... it has different channels, for example Japanese animation art and beautiful nude chicks.

Each channel has a different code indicating where you are on the site... /b/ is the "random" channel, and it's the portion that has made 4chan (in)famous.

Memes and racism and nudity and stalking and hacking and all sorts of oddities await those who are brave/stupid/bored enough to spend some time there.

They don't, but it's a joking reference to two things:

1. Most memes that flood the net originate there

2. There are a lot of hackers and malicious people there, and sometimes they'll try to do damage to other people that anger them online or try to bring down a site for the hell of it

They're not as effective in net terrorism as they'd like to believe, but they can do damage from time to time.

They obviously don't literally run it, but there are a lot of very active, very knowledgeable computer users that frequent the site... hundreds? Thousands? It's unclear.

"Anonymous", as the channel's denizens tend to call themselves, can be effective collectively (check out who Time's person of the year is... hint: it's moot, the founder of 4chan).

Individuals can also be quite effective, hiding behind the veil of anonymity. Hacking is often a matter of psychology and luck as much as it is computer skills, so when Boxxy haters really wanted to find out who she was? They could do so in part because there were smart, motivated, computer-savvy people trying to break the password on her own account.

They enjoy a level of anonymity, for sure, but most of us do on the internet, and that allows us to be more open than we would be just walking down the street. It would be intimidating to have the eye of 4chan focused on me, I think, knowing how easily one could learn my last name and my exact street address.

In a stunning result, the winner of the third annual TIME 100 poll and new owner of the title World's Most Influential Person is moot. The 21-year-old college student and founder of the online community 4chan.org, whose real name is Christopher Poole, received 16,794,368 votes and an average influence rating of 90 (out of a possible 100) to handily beat the likes of Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and Oprah Winfrey. To put the magnitude of the upset in perspective, it's worth noting that everyone moot beat out actually has a job.

Because of this:

moot wins, Time Inc. loses

I feel sorry for her. She seems like a sweet girl who a bunch of freaks decided to harass.
 
Ok, I did a little more research. Maybe they were right to rid us of her.
 
I've noticed that since Boxxy disappeared, Dick Cheney reappeared.

Pretty clear what's going on here.

Dick Cheney strikes me as more 4chan than Boxxy.
