So I mug for a few weeks, and apparently 4chan has declared war on tumblr. Damn, I'm getting out of touch with the Internet.
But seriously guys, 4chan is not to be taken lightly. I'm talking to all those tumblr guys with "Trust in David Karp" or "U MAD 4CHAN?" posted there and thinking that that little jpeg is going to do anything at all. The thing about 4chan is that it only has one user, and that user is Anon. He's anonymous, he's everywhere at once, and I'm not exaggerating in the least. 4chan successfully hacked into Sarah Palin's email for goodness' sake. They managed to identify a girl throwing dogs into a river from a low-res youtube video which didn't even capture her face properly, track down her home address and contact numbers, and constantly harass her in real life until she gave herself in for animal abuse.
All of you guys saying that 4chan is no match for tumblr obviously do not know enough about 4chan. Let's get this straight: if tumblr survives Operation Overlord, it's only because Anon got bored or showed mercy (the latter is highly unlikely, honestly). It's true that 4chan has initiated some failed attacks before, but that's only because they couldn't sustain their interest long enough to organise the attack. Now, there are ignorant little people saying that 4chan doesn't have the power to bring down tumblr, or worse still trying to counter-attack by trolling 4chan. Well let me tell you now, Anon is most dangerous when enraged; the ones who get trolled hardest are those who don't play dead (or outright die) after the first attack. And tumblr, unfortunately, has done loads to piss him off.
As for my thoughts on the actual attack, I have a very strong feeling that it's much much more than what they're revealing. Come on, do you seriously think that they would simply fit their entire master plan in a convenient little jpeg to circulate round the Internet? /b/tards are juvenile and immature, but they are certainly not stupid.
