Chanwars
During the middle of July of the year 2008, a lot of *chans were becoming victims of a huge DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack (it was believed to be around 80Gb/s). The leader of the attacks is believed to be a hacker known as Pacifico. On July 21, 2008, Pacifico said, via an irc at irc.raidchan.org, that he planed on taking down all the major chans. Pacifico, as well as the one known as "f", have claimed to have either taken down or had helped take down the following chans:

4chan 711chan 2ch 99chan 420chan 7chan OverChan ED YTMND AnonTalk Anonbi FChan Wtfux

Slowly, the chans started blaming each other. It is thought that AnonTalk was the first chan to point a finger stating "Yes. The 13-year-old cyber terrorists over at Retardchan are jealous of our freedoms and are trying to make this place as crappy as their own shithole."

Thought like these caused users from their respected chans to start DDoSing other chans.
