Haven't they been making demands though?

Seems a bit untypical for a government/corporate campaign just trying to take us down. Why aren't they just focusing on spamming and are instead writing such long-ass effort posts w/ screenshots like every other day?

Because drama that seems legit is more effective at destroying the userbase than simple spam ads that everyone knows are just spam. They need people to believe this community is falling apart, and that the admins are unstable. So that's what they talk about every day, and it's successful in driving people away because they begin to believe it because there is an appearance of a group consensus about it, when in actuality it's just one person using many puppet accounts

Wait, so now this is just one person? Weren't we talking 3-4 at a time? (probably from a much bigger pool, since this is a global concerted government/corporate effort more than one year in the making)

Could be one, could be 3-4. No real easy way to tell, tbh.

Yeah I assume it's from a bigger pool of people, and they have a list of like 100 forums they attack all the time on a cycle. And I'm sure they're for-hire too if you know who to contact

Can I get PM'd a list of other sites? Not to, er, join the competition but I am tempted to monitor.

They'll be announced on saidit when they happen, don't worry

Sweet. I hope it turns out they are ChiComms or something juicy so it gets some press. Can't stand it when people hurt the little websites.
