Except, they haven't done anything. Oh, sure, they took down a website. They probably overloaded its bandwidth and got it shut down. Not exactly a difficult feat. What are they going to actually do?

Prank call them?
Spam the admins' emails?
Or maybe, oh the horror, vandalize an article? :rolleyes:

You can get a little more power than that, but not much. You can't really go too far anyway without getting caught. The worst I can see happening from this kiddie corral is this group accessing sensitive information from the church. Beyond that it's just a bunch of 4chan faggots.

edit: prlog, what is this?

Hang on a sec. If Scientology doesn't fight back then it's not technically a war. It's... what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah... "Genocide", but then I struggle to fit it to this situation... more a virtual terrorist attack at the moment it would seem. And just like a physical attack, it seems they've picked themselves up off the floor.

Now all we gotta wait for is Scientology to declare War on Cyber-Terrorism, waste all its member's cash, and spend the next 10 years in a military quagmire. On the internet. :rolleyes:

Even if they were able to take Scientology off the Internet that would not destroy them. They are entrenched in many other areas - ie drug rehabilitation in the form of their Narconon program. Scientology is not going away unless Anonymous can somehow get the Religion banned illegal throughout the world and I doubt they will be able to do that. L Ron Hubbard though this out a little better than that. He structured Scientology for the long run and the Internet was not even around when he made that master plan.

Also - the scientolgy.org website is back online. So are the other big websites that make up the Scientology network have been up the whole time as far as I can tell

http://www.narconon.org/ - Drug program
http://www.dianetics.org/en_US/index.html - Dianetics
http://www.volunteerministers.org/ - Volunteer Ministry
http://goldenageofknowledge.net - Bridge Publications - handles selling all the Hubbard books

and they have a bunch more of these type sites not listed.

Leader of Scientology? he must be talking to Tom Cruise.
The leader of Scientology isn't Tom Cruise, but rather, some sci - fi author. Scientologists have a love-hate relationship with Tom Cruise. Yes, he calls himself a Scientologist, and most people likes his movies, giving Scientology exposure. But his bizarre behavior outside acting (cough Oprah show cough) hurts Scientology, because it further proves (in my opinion) that they are NUTJOBS!

well, unless they plan to use the information they find online to assassinate leaders of the church and possibly uproot information they can use to make the church illegal. they can't really "destroy" them, but they sure can fuck 'em over enough to were they might want to quit. At which point if a leader backs down its people are going to frown upon him and what he stood for, at least most of them will, a few might still support the idea.

honestly it sounds kinda cool, cyber wars and all that, but the thought of a lasting impact brought on by it aren't that evident.

now wha ti think would be pretty damn sweet, and who knows they might do it... is if they drained the Scientologists account and put the money into gay porn or something stupid (or maybe useful).

You have softened up since you have grown older haven't you? Back in the day you would have been all over this. It happens though. The Chans are young.

Page on scientology for wikipedia is protected from vandalism, however it's a very weak protection that will only protect it from the average vandaliser.

Scientology is a man made religion. What is not to hate of someone making money off of other people?

Pretty sure the general belief is that whatever religion you believe was inspired by God. The rest, made by man for money and profit and power.

  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
