Editing AnonTalk (section)

==Retaliation==

Born out of a pretentious desire to profit off all of the 0.0001% of users who disagreed with the ruling on 4chan: Check.
Pedophile Central: Check.
Run by an egomaniac who banned people for arbitrary and often nonsensical reasons? Check.
Spamming the Fuck Out of Every ImageBoard on the Web: Check.

The users of the tubernets were not happy with AnonTalk's bullshit, and a price would be paid in digital blood.

AnonTalk's offenses against the internets were too egregious to take lying down - communities organized, and retaliated in droves, contacting AnonTalk's hosts and showing them the sort of content on AnonTalk - many of these hosts cancelled on AnonTalk in response. Others, more enterprising and skilled, reported AnonTalk to search engine sites and the FBI. Appropriately, there were immediate investigations, and AnonTalk started to bleed money and support. Spam from AnonTalk peaked during this time, as Kimmo Alm desperately tried to draw new users in for the oh-so-important revenue AnonTalk needed to keep running.

The war escalated, and more [[grimdark]] users of the *chans committed to the battle with further host reports, counter-operative actions against AnonTalk, and actively cloning AnonTalk's coding, functionally making it so that a version of AnonTalk minus the pedophilia and insanity emerged. And then, finally, as if to drop the hammerblow to end the fight, [[moot]] and numerous other *chan Admins instituted a Captcha system.

Spam from AnonTalk stopped overnight. AnonTalk was dead within a year and a half, as the sheer number of reports ensured that no web hosting company would ever agree to host the site. And ''nothing of value was lost''.
