Why was 4chan all messed up last evening? I couldn't post

>>35054766
/r9k/ was being raided by trap posters

>>35054788
wrong, it was being invaded by anti-trap shills

they freeze it for the cops sometimes

>>35054788
No, the entire site was locked down, no new threads could be made, and for a while, no posts at all could be made

>>35054805
What did the cops need?

>>35054805
Is this true? Does this actually happen?

>>35054834
Yes infact, there was a picture posted of a secret government aircraft, they do it all the time, not joking.

>>35054834
yeah, 4chan gives a lot of info out. Why would you think otherwise? you retarded?

>>35054883
I don't understand why it needs to be frozen. We have archives don't we?

>>35054999
Only a handful of boards are archived, and it doesn't have the exact same info as the actual threads

>>35054999
It won't be archived if it 404s

>>35054853

>>35054999
i think there's a higher standard for evidence to be admissible in court
i imagine it's for cp and threats of violence/terrorism

It was a ruse by Hiroyuki to scare people into donating or buying passes to fill his wallet by making you think the servers are fucked.

A shitton of routers on the internet last night ate shit and the changes had to propagate while at the same time other routers had to adjust and take the new sudden flood of traffic. Because a lot of 4chan relies on Google scripts that means Google and 4chan were only talking intermittently.

For a bunch of supposedly savvy computer users you guys sure don't know how the fuck to use pathping or tracert.

tl;dr some part of the internet shit itself and it kind of broke shit for a couple hours
