Why taunt guys like this? Doesn't make a lot of sense.

Owned!!!!!

bad day for gawker media

Jesus! Owned is right.

I have heard of the site, but never went there before. I am taking it, this is a different gawker? http://gawker.com/

No, that is the same network of sites. See the 1st post:
http://gawker.com/5712615/commenting...your-passwords

They are:
Gizmodo
io9
Fleshbot
Deadspin
Kotaku
Lifehacker
Jezebel
etc...

"Taken down" in this case means, majorly compromised, the link highlights the vastness of it.

touche...

how can one work on the internet and not know gawker media?

really man why would you try to fuck with 4chan after all this wikileaks stuff

How did they do it?

They backtraced him.

What did gawker actually say to get under the skin of 4chan? Called them script kids?

These guys certainly are on a mission of late.

wondr how big the userbase is for fleshbot

what anon fails to realize is their actions is going to help pass any kind of internet regulation that is up and coming.

Or, as someone else mentioned in a different thread, "Anonymous" is actually run and operated by those who seek to put said regulations in place...

Dont say to much about them, gfy could be next if they find ya'll calling them kids ;)

it's not terribly hard to take them over, just make up a statement using their lingo and memes and it will be taken as an ingroup pronouncement, post as an image with the anonymous logo, and you're set

I don't see the point of going after gawker since they didn't do anything against wikileaks...

oops .

A lot of them are kids and good for them. I am glad to see that they have to knowledge to do some of the things that they do. I personally would not spend time on something unless I was getting paid for it.

So one of the posts above makes me go. Hmmmm.
