I think the chat log 711chan posted is good enough.

02:53 <@Tahko> and it brings people here
02:53 <@Tahko> We get exposure no matter what
02:53 <@Tahko> even while we are down we are getting talked about
02:53 <@Tahko> and will be when we are back up
02:53 <@Unidentifag> that's true
02:53 <@Tahko> as a matter of fact, that's even better because it builds
anticipation.
02:54 <@Tahko> "Will they come back?"
02:54 <@Tahko> "What are THEY going to do"
02:54 <@Tahko> and the next thing you know you are making /nm/ banners and
silly ass OC
02:54 <@Tahko> It's win all around really
02:55 <@Tahko> my server will come back online and everything will be fine.
02:56 <@Unidentifag> you have to wonder
02:56 <@Tahko> It's 1/2 showmanship, 1/2 curiosity
02:56 <@Unidentifag> whether /i/ wanted /!/ in the first place
02:57 <@Unidentifag> yh
02:57 <@Tahko> lol
02:57 <@Tahko> I think it's time for an /!/
02:57 <@Tahko> certainly
02:57 <@Unidentifag> so are we looking to kill off /i/
02:57 <@Unidentifag> or just piss them off?
02:58 <@Tahko> Well
02:58 <@Tahko> killing /i/ and taming the *chans is the long term goal.
02:58 <@Tahko> pissing off would be more short term
02:58 <@Unidentifag> ah
02:58 <@Tahko> Raise awareness
02:58 <@Tahko> Have all the tricks listed
02:59 <@Tahko> email thier potential targets and let them know what they could
do and mention our site
02:59 <@Tahko> as a watchdog site of course
02:59 <@Unidentifag> yh
02:59 <@Tahko> as we raise awareness, we raise a userbase.
02:59 <@Tahko> THEN
03:00 <@Tahko> We start hitting up congress and news sites offering all kinds
of information
03:00 <@Tahko> It could become wildly popular
03:00 <@Tahko> Just have to get people used to the idea is all
03:00 <@Unidentifag> hmm
03:00 <@Unidentifag> anonymous arn't that big a threat
03:00 <@Unidentifag> for that kind of attention
03:01 <@Tahko> I disagree
03:01 <@Tahko> I think they are
03:01 <@Tahko> as much as anything else
03:01 <@Tahko> people just aren't aware of them
03:02 <@Tahko> If they don't want to police themselves, then someone has to.
03:02 <@Tahko> there are just somethings that are wrong
03:02 <@Tahko> no matter what free speech there is
03:02 <@Tahko> attacking someone because they got a higher score on DDR than
you is not an excuse
03:02 <@Tahko> attacking someone because they got a higher score on DDR than
you is not an excuse
03:03 <@Tahko> Taking down a website because "it's funny" is not only childish
but sends a bad message.
03:04 <@Tahko> of course, they make you believe it's for this or that, but when
you really pin them down, they default to "the lulz"
03:04 <@Tahko> well that doesn't cut it honestly
03:04 <@Tahko> If the shoe was on the other foot, they wouldn't like it.
03:04 <@Tahko> and they will discover that.
03:04 <@Unidentifag> what about net neutrality
03:04 <@Unidentifag> and the chanology bullshit?
03:05 <@Tahko> Who cares?
03:05 <@Tahko> This is our own thing.
03:05 <@Tahko> An imageboard
03:05 <@Tahko> attempting to convince other imageboards to clean up just a bit.
03:05 <@Tahko> It's not some anti-chan group
03:05 <@Tahko> it isn't a bunch of cops or the governement
03:05 <@Tahko> it's us
03:06 <@Tahko> and if we have to go to the governement, so be it
03:06 <@Unidentifag> yh but do we mess with nn and chanology?
03:06 <@Tahko> I will personally speak to congress if need be.
03:06 <@Unidentifag> they arn't just "the lulz"
03:06 <@Tahko> I'm not messing with any of that.
03:06 <@Tahko> unless paths cross
