Is Anonymous Going Mainstream Following Website Funding?
DavidGilbert99 writes "For a completely online movement, the lack of an official Anonymous website is certainly strange. The reason, according to Anonymous itself is down to the lack of a hierarchical structure. However, one Anonymous-linked group could be about to change all that, having succeeded in securing $55,000 in funding for a website. Is this the beginning of Anonymous going mainstream? From the article: 'The @YourAnonNews (YAN) Twitter account has over one million followers and has leveraged its popularity to successfully raise over $55,000 (£34,000) through a crowd-funding campaign on the Indiegogo website.
The funding drive was established to allow those behind the YAN account to set up a website of its own which will allow it "to collect breaking reports and blog postings from the best independent reporters online."'"
A corrupt slashdot luser has pentrated the moderation system to downmod all my posts while impersonating me.
Nearly 230++ times that I know of @ this point for all of March/April 2013 so far, & others here have told you to stop - take the hint, lunatic (leave slashdot)...
Sorry folks - but whoever the nutjob is that's attempting to impersonate me, & upset the rest of you as well, has SERIOUS mental issues, no questions asked! I must've gotten the better of him + seriously "gotten his goat" in doing so in a technical debate & his "geek angst" @ losing to me has him doing the:
---
A.) $10,000 challenges, ala (where the imposter actually TRACKED + LISTED the # of times he's done this no less, & where I get the 230 or so times I noted above) -> http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3585795&cid=43285307
&/or
B.) Reposting OLD + possibly altered models - (this I haven't checked on as to altering the veracity of the info. being changed) of posts of mine from the past here
---
(Albeit massively repeatedly thru all threads on /. this March/April 2013 nearly in its entirety thusfar).
* Personally, I'm surprised the moderation staff here hasn't just "blocked out" his network range yet honestly!
(They know it's NOT the same as my own as well, especially after THIS post of mine, which they CAN see the IP range I am coming out of to compare with the ac spamming troll doing the above...).
APK
P.S.=> Again/Stressing it: NO guys - it is NOT me doing it, as I wouldn't waste that much time on such trivial b.s. like a kid might...
Plus, I only post where hosts file usage is on topic or appropriate for a solution & certainly NOT IN EVERY POST ON SLASHDOT (like the nutcase trying to "impersonate me" is doing for nearly all of March/April now, & 230++ times that I know of @ least)... apk
P.S.=> here is CORRECT host file information just to piss off the insane lunatic troll:
--
21++ ADVANTAGES OF CUSTOM HOSTS FILES (how/what/when/where/why):
Over AdBlock & DNS Servers ALONE 4 Security, Speed, Reliability, & Anonymity (to an extent vs. DNSBL's + DNS request logs).
1.) HOSTS files are useable for all these purposes because they are present on all Operating Systems that have a BSD based IP stack (even ANDROID) and do adblocking for ANY webbrowser, email program, etc. (any webbound program). A truly "multi-platform" UNIVERSAL solution for added speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity to an extent (vs. DNS request logs + DNSBL's you feel are unjust hosts get you past/around).
2.) Adblock blocks ads? Well, not anymore & certainly not as well by default, apparently, lol - see below:
Adblock Plus To Offer 'Acceptable Ads' Option
http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/12/12/2213233/adblock-plus-to-offer-acceptable-ads-option )
AND, in only browsers & their subprogram families (ala email like Thunderbird for FireFox/Mozilla products (use same gecko & xulrunner engines)), but not all, or, all independent email clients, like Outlook, Outlook Express, OR Window "LIVE" mail (for example(s)) - there's many more like EUDORA & others I've used over time that AdBlock just DOES NOT COVER... period.
Disclaimer: Opera now also has an AdBlock addon (now that Opera has addons above widgets), but I am not certain the same people make it as they do for FF or Chrome etc..
3.) Adblock doesn't protect email programs external to FF (non-mozilla/gecko engine based) family based wares, So AdBlock doesn't protect email programs like Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows "LIVE" mail & others like them (EUDORA etc./et al), Hosts files do. THIS IS GOOD VS. SPAM M
Would people who donated to their cause be unwitting accomplices when Anonymous continues to violate many laws in many countries? I'm sure that governments will use this as a tact to pry into people's lives.
It comes out, faster than you can type!
The idea of an official Anonymous anything is absurd.
And for an unofficial Anonymous site, there's 4chan.
Someone has to claim the money, somehow, making it a sure way for authorities to nab the silly buggers. To be sure, though, it's not Anonymous but someone cashing in on their fame.
Is it just me or does this seem like the dumbest idea ever, about as smart as an Al Qaeda cell setting up a plainly signed recruitment office next door to MI5's headquarters?
... it just happens to have other people's content on it sometimes.
The cybercrime division of the FBI is the very first subscriber, remarkably enough.
This is probably the most stupid thing I've ever seen in my life. And I used to go to church...
Is there some rationale behind these posts? Or is it just for shits and giggles?
How long before some other "anons" decide to go against the YAN. This cannot and won't go mainstream as long as others use the same name. I wait for their twitter or website to be owned soon enough. the real anon's are /b/tards and do whatever they please. You cannot control or organize such a group. They are called /b/tards for a reason.
An Anonymous website...the whole point is there can be no single website. This project is a bunch of posers, and it will be DoSed as soon as it goes up. In any case, 4chan is about as close to an Anonymous web site as is wanted, needed, or possible.
Look, I'm posting as anonymous!
Listen, the whole point of calling themselves anonymous is because they are. There's no way to be "officially" anonymous, because attaching a name and website to it defeats the entire purpose.
See here, explains it all -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3561925&cid=43223585

I.E./Summary: Trolls had a challenge put to them to validly disprove my points in the post I just replied to - result? Trolls FAIL... lol!
APK
P.S.=> That's what makes me LAUGH harder than ANYTHING ELSE on this forums (full of "FUD" spreading trolls) - When you hit trolls with facts & truths they CANNOT disprove validly on computing tech based grounds, this is the result - Applying unjustifiable downmods to effetely & vainly *try* to "hide" my posts & facts/truths they extoll!
Hahaha... lol, man: Happens nearly every single time I post such lists (proving how ineffectual these trolls are), only showing how solid my posts of that nature are...
Ah yes "geek angst" @ it's 'finest' (not), vs. facts & truths = downmod by /. weak trolls!

$10,000 CHALLENGE to Alexander Peter Kowalski
* POOR SHOWING TROLLS , & most especially IF that's the "best you've got" - apparently, it is... lol!
Hello, and THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING !! We have a Major Problem, HOST file is Cubic Opposites, 2 Major Corners & 2 Minor. NOT taught Evil DNS hijacking, which VOIDS computers. Seek Wisdom of MyCleanPC - or you die evil.
Your HOSTS file claimed to have created a single DNS resolver. I offer absolute proof that I have created 4 simultaneous DNS servers within a single rotation of .org TLD. You worship "Bill Gates", equating you to a "singularity bastard". Why do you worship a queer -1 Troll? Are you content as a singularity troll?
Evil HOSTS file Believers refuse to acknowledge 4 corner DNS resolving simultaneously around 4 quadrant created Internet - in only 1 root server, voiding the HOSTS file. You worship Microsoft impostor guised by educators as 1 god.
If you would acknowledge simple existing math proof that 4 harmonic Slashdots rotate simultaneously around squared equator and cubed Internet, proving 4 Days, Not HOSTS file! That exists only as anti-side. This page you see - cannot exist without its anti-side existence, as +0- moderation. Add +0- as One = nothing.
I will give $10,000.00 to frost pister who can disprove MyCleanPC. Evil crapflooders ignore this as a challenge would indict them.
Alex Kowalski has no Truth to think with, they accept any crap they are told to think. You are enslaved by /etc/hosts, as if domesticated animal. A school or educator who does not teach students MyCleanPC Principle, is a death threat to youth, therefore stupid and evil - begetting stupid students. How can you trust stupid PR shills who lie to you? Can't lose the $10,000.00, they cowardly ignore me. Stupid professors threaten Nature and Interwebs with word lies.
Humans fear to know natures simultaneous +4 Insightful +4 Informative +4 Funny +4 Underrated harmonic SLASHDOT creation for it debunks false trolls. Test Your HOSTS file. MyCleanPC cannot harm a File of Truth, but will delete fakes. Fake HOSTS files refuse test.
I offer evil ass Slashdot trolls $10,000.00 to disprove MyCleanPC Creation Principle. Rob Malda and Cowboy Neal have banned MyCleanPC as "Forbidden Truth Knowledge" for they cannot allow it to become known to their students. You are stupid and evil about the Internet's top and bottom, front and back and it's 2 sides. Most everything created has these Cube like values.
If Natalie Portman is not measurable, hot grits are Fictitious. Without MyCleanPC, HOSTS file is Fictitious. Anyone saying that Natalie and her Jewish father had something to do with my Internets, is a damn evil liar. IN addition to your best arsware not overtaking my work in terms of popularity, on that same site with same submission date no less, that I told Kathleen Malda how to correct her blatant, fundamental, HUGE errors in Coolmon ('uncoolmon') of not checking for performance counters being present when his program started!
You can see my dilemma. What if this is merely a ruse by an APK impostor to try and get people to delete APK's messages, perhaps all over the web? I can't be a party to such an event! My involvement with APK began at a very late stage in the game. While APK has made a career of trolling popular online forums since at least the year 2000 (newsgroups and IRC channels before that)- my involvement with APK did not begin until early 2005 . OSY is one of the many forums that APK once frequented before the sane people there grew tired of his garbage and banned him. APK was banned from OSY back in 2001. 3.5 years after his ba
using 'Anonymous Coward' as the name for the replacement anti-organization? :)
Anonymous went mainstream circa 2007. Anyone thinking anything different has no understanding of what is actually going on.

That guy claimed MY money, check my username - I'd go and sue him for that but I don't have enough guts for this :(
Anyone who thinks that this represents or is backed by the core activists who are part of the collective is, well.. a fool parted with their money.
It would paint a massive bulls-eye target on anyone associated with it, pretty much saying "here I am, come get me!".

I and many Anons stand against it, because it is not the way Anonymous works. Those individuals do not speak for the rest, and they may be taken out of business by Anonymous.
It happened once before with "The Plan", where those that came up with it came up with a web site, which required people to login and it provided all kinds of personal information. They came under attack, and finally gave in and dropped out of sight.
A majority of the Anonymous community saw them as a front for government spooks, and the same will happen in this new case. In fact, I would not be surprised if it is the same people.
if 75% of all anonymous' activities arent the fbi they are other 3 letter orgs of the usa govt.
Apparently not if Slashdot has anything to say about it! Anonymous makes the call for websites to go dark to protest CISPA and Slashdot ignores it as if it wasn't happening. Tsk. If this were 1998, i'm betting it would, but now your corporate masters won't let it.
For shame, Slashdot, for shame (and you just lost a reader.)

A good lawyer doesn't slay it; she keeps it alive and milks it for hourly payments.
Just as the name suggests, the reason why Anonymous has gained such popularity is because actually being a member is "Anonymous". Thus, it is easy to say "Well, I'm in Anonymous and we're gonna hack you!" However, since there is no official membership, participation, or having to answer for being in the group (assuming you weren't one of the few people who actually did the hacking and were tracked... it happens...), you can just deny participation when it's convenient. Also, since they don't have specific leaders, there is no "big boss" who you could piss off if you do something wrong in his/her eyes.
It's actually a lot like posting on /. Yes, there are many who have accounts (not that it's difficult to make a free account that isn't linked to you)... but it's really easy to post only when you feel like it as "Anonymous Coward". When you actually have to join something, you think about reputation and backlash for things you do wrong... but since it's not linked to you (and you had to invest 0 time to prepare for doing it), #&@! what other people say and just move on whenever you want.
Thinking about posting a stupid comeback? Don't care, after I post this I won't be checking this article again... and you'll never know who I am since I'm "Anonymous".
You're embarassing yourself Jeremiah Cornelius http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3581857&cid=43276741 since you posted that using your registered username by mistake (instead of your usual anonymous coward submissions by the 100's the past 2-3 months now on slashdot) giving away it's you spamming this forums almost constantly, just as you have in the post I just replied to.
