[Kaz]

Why is it down?

moot was making soup and didn't notice when someone took 4chan's domain registrar for their own

and then linked it to other stuff

[phatyo]

Whats its down again? It was down like 1 month ago and now its down again?

First of all, rules 1 and 2.

Second of all, they're working WITH the FBI.

...

Za?

Also, there's no soup this time, so don't even mention that.

Here's a good explination from ED:

For the morons in the audience that think AOL is the internets, here's a technical run-down of what exactly has happened to 4chan. First, a primer:

A domain name consists of three individual components: the registration, which is ownership of the domain; the DNS, which tells people where to find web services; and web services themselves, such as websites, email, and so on.

DNS, or the Domain Name System, is like the phonebook of the internet. When you visit 4chan.org in your browser, your computer uses DNS to convert the name into the IP address, and your browser connects to that IP directly, e.g. 4chan.org to 66.207.165.166

Special server machines, called nameservers, are responsible for answering questions about domains, such as "Where can I find the lulz IP address for 4chan.org?"

Domain registration, which is domain ownership, is the most vital component; control of registration gives you control over DNS, which in turn gives you control over web services.

And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

With me so far? Good. As the 4chan status blog notes, Moot's account with the registrar has been compromised (in this case, Network Solutions). This means he no longer has control over the domain registration, and in turn has no power over the domain's DNS or web services.

This isn't as juvenile as getting into the webserver and putting a picture of Goatse on the front page; these people hijacked 4chan like someone hijacks a plane. They're in direct control of it, and Moot's helplessly along for the ride unless he can get back into the account. (Given his choice of registrars, though, 4chan is going to be down for a few days at the least.)

When they took over Moot's account at NetSol, they changed the nameserver delegation, which means they changed the DNS duties from 4chan's nameservers over to their own. Right now, visitors to 4chan aren't getting answers about the domain from Moot, they're getting the answers from the failfags.

You do realize who created those rules, right? You're actually going to follow poop that Gaia made up?

No, those are the rules of the internet.

Or something, I really don't pay attention to specifics, i just remember seeing half of this stuff before the whole Gaia thing started.
