Is 4chan down?if so Why?

Question

Why is 4chan down, what's going on this time?

Answer 1

Hey John Fggots

My name is Charles, and I hate you and your attitude. First of all I'm highly surprised that someone "as perfect" than you took the time to write this troll post. But I'll still answer your challenge and your questions.

But far from saying that I'm sooo perfect, I'm still a college football, I'm going to the gym regularly, to the hottest club in Montreal, I've "gotten" a lot of *******, and (OMFG) still find the time to surf 4chan weekly.

Find some better in your life dude, what you did here was quite stupid.

Answer 2

I LOL'D  

Answer 3

I'm running Vista, and can't edit the hosts file. I figure the DNS problem will solve itself eventually.

also, OP, quit with the internet tough guy act. "WE MUST GET BACK AT THEM IM IN"? you can't even get on 4chan without asking Yahoo answers, where knowledge goes to die.

tl;dr- 4chan is no longer hackers on steroids. deal with it.

Answer 4

You can go ahead and change your host file...  but moot decided it would be funny to redirect 4chan to ******.  So until the joke's off, 4chan's closed due to cancer.  Mootykin's been in a prankin' mood lately...

Answer 5

Don't change your host file:

4Chan.org, a series of image boards known for controversial content, has been shut down by a distributed denial of service attack.

I know what you're thinking: What else is new? Hackers and others who can't stand its messages have frequently targeted the image forums on 4Chan.org. But as a fan of 4Chan, it saddens me to see such a funny (though oftentimes off-color) collective go offline again - yet I know that this won't be the last time it happens.

A DDOS attack occurs when one party targets a Web site and excessively floods the site's server(s) to the point that regular and new visitors cannot access it. The culprit, according to MikeAbundo.com, is Joe Biaso, a 16-year-old hacker. Known as "pacifico," Biaso posted a video that shows him taunting 4Channers to try and telephone him and e-mail him.

Answer 6

Place the IP addresses ED G has posted in your hosts file and you will be able to access 4chan.

Answer 7

4chan isn't down. Just its DNS server. Those fine folks at Wikipedia have found a way to access 4chan.

Copy+paste this into C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts and then empty your browser cache:

63.201.158.2 ns1.4chan.org

65.98.107.50 ns3.4chan.org

65.98.92.92 ns2.4chan.org

65.98.92.48 www.4chan.org

65.98.92.49 content.4chan.org

65.98.92.50 orz.4chan.org

65.98.92.51 tmp.4chan.org

65.98.92.53 rs.4chan.org

65.98.92.54 static.4chan.org

65.98.92.59 zip.4chan.org

65.98.92.72 bin.4chan.org

65.98.92.73 dis.4chan.org

65.98.92.75 img.4chan.org

65.98.92.76 dat.4chan.org

65.98.92.79 cgi.4chan.org

65.98.92.80 nov.4chan.org

65.98.92.48 4chan.org

4chan should work after you do this.

Answer 9

WHAT THE **** IS THIS ****

Answer 10

It's just a DNS error.

Also, believe it or not, the people that haven't gotten back onto 4chan yet ARE the cancer, which means they have no right to complain about cancer.

Answer 11

I dont think anyone knows yet. But when its back up, we really need to discuss getting even. Its Sad. 4chan WAS the internet. and now what is it? A cancer-infected troll infested shithole, constantly getting attacked and shutdown.
