Each burger surpassed the 9gag burger by about 20-30 thousand votes.If you have questions though, here are the frequently asked ones.ĩGAG is the funniest yet simplest platform for you to publish or collect funs.Īdmirers are people who receive your Fun. The contest clearly stated that the top 20 burgers would be chosen and then tested, so for 4chan to insure dominance, they created 20 new burgers. Within days, the McMoot had surpassed the Mc9gag by well over 100,000 votes. However, a Twitter user by the name of Matheusavs28 created a votescript for 4chan to use. The McMoot fell far behind the Mc9gag in its early stages. Not to be out done, 4chan users concocted their own burger, named after moot, 4chan's creator. The 9gag burger quickly gained around 32,000 votes, putting it in first place by nearly 29,000 votes. On January 16th, 9GAG user schierer posted a picture to try to gain votes for a "9gag burger" that he had created for the McDonald's burger contest. This was the first instance of 4chan blaming 9GAG for doing insensitive things, and was not the last. The trolls posted offensive and mocking materials to the page, bringing 9gag under fire from the family. In early January 2012, users of 4chan attacked memorial pages dedicated to a 15-year-old suicide victim, and promptly blamed 9GAG. While the homepage was down, all the boards continued to function, allowing for continued raid coordination. 9gag, having discovered their mistake, launched a DDoS attack on 4chan's main page, shutting it down for a small amount of time. Due to the servers' massive capacity, little effect was had. Unaware of this, 9gag members fired upon the given coordinates, and DDoS'd themselves. However, the coordinates given to them were actually 9gag's.
One such post was apparently written by a 4chan member acting as a 9gag member, inciting a DDoS attack on 4chan. Nearly a day before the 4chan raid, 9GAG had discovered their intentions through several posts that had surfaced on the website's "Hot page." The posts were in fact, set up by 4chan users, in an attempt to confuse 9gaggers. However, many servers continued to function, preventing the massive black-out the op had intended. For several locations, 9GAG was unreachable, and in other places, unusably slow.

Within hours, 9GAG was knocked offline in some areas, for unknown amounts of time.

The attacks had already begun earlier on the 20th, but not to full effect. Meanwhile, as the spam raid continued, the clock had struck midnight on the 20th, signaling the beginning of the DDoS attacks. This period of high alert lasted for over 40 hours, well into the specified raid day. However, for as fast as the moderators could work, posts continued to fill up the newest uploads page, until they ultimately had to shut down all site services, including voting, new account creation, commenting, submitting content, and viewing the newest uploads. Each entry was quickly downvoted, and then removed by the moderators. Hundreds of fake accounts took to the newest uploads section, uploading gore and pornography, some of it involving children. On December 20th, the raid officially started.
Within hours, the message had been spread all across the 4 participating websites.
The operation was to be a three part take down plan, involving some of the largest memetic sites on the internet: reddit, tumblr, and funnyjunk. On December 20th, 2011, one day before the raid, 4chan members launched another op, known as Operation Deepthroat. On 9GAG, multiple posts went up in defense of themselves. Many threads appeared on /b/ to spur on the operation. They responded to 4chan's threat with the following message: "The 9gag army is coming for you 4chan." This only further angered the 4chan members. 9GAG, hearing of the attack, was quick to retaliate, forming what they called "The 9GAG army". The planned raid included the posting of gore, porn and other such materials to the newest uploads section of the website, while another team was to perform DDoS attacks on the web server. On December 21st, 2011 4chan members, furious over 9GAG's antics, planned a raid on the website.
