Doesn't seem like a joke to me. The legitimacy of the 4chanstatus blog has been verified, and the 4chan servers (naturally, not the DNS) all redirect to it. There has been an IRC QnA session, where the hackers claim to be working on an improved 4chan.
Finally finding about some of the bots that are flooding the users online - bytespider apparently is a huge offender here - ignores robots.txt and comes in from a ton of different IPs
Ghan has said he has fixed this. Monovertex please confirm this fix. This was only a problem with people that had signatures in the upper levels like not the special members but the respected members.
