This is neither the first or the worst attack 4chan has received, it doesn't deserve to be recorded. I hope no one's considering updating the 4chan article on Wikipedia with this DDoS attack, because if they are, they have several other attacks that lasted much longer than this to report first. actually, just go for it and see what happens. I'd say, either (a) go for it and see what happens, or (b) ask them over at [[WP. you need independent sources to establish notability in the first place, but after that, primary sources can be used to an extent.

GTBacchus ( talk) 21:11, 9 July 2009 (UTC) Need it be independent? The status page would seem to be authoritative. If we post things because we notice that they're true, that's original research. GTBacchus ( talk) 20:59, 9 July 2009 (UTC)Ĭonsidering it IS one of the biggest sites on the net, and the fact its STILL down, maybe its time for a mention on the page? 75.26.244.181 ( talk) 21:05, 9 July 2009 (UTC) It's time for a mention on this page when it's reported in some reliable independent source.

Jeremy ( v^_^v Tear him for his bad verses!) 22:03, 8 July 2009 (UTC) How often is a site shut down under a sustained week long DDOS attack? 99.147.205.15 ( talk) 20:16, 9 July 2009 (UTC) I blame the Koreans. If it stays down for over a week, I am sure someone will put something up on it 75.26.244.181 ( talk) 21:53, 8 July 2009 (UTC) And nothing of value was lost. I'm curious, they've been under DDOS attack for 3 days, and yet wikipedia doesn't say anything about it? 68.191.160.109 ( talk) 21:14, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
