Additional Information

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but source number 100 no longer exists at the cited web address. The original article has been removed from the LA times. Robotman666 (talk) 09:01, 29 December 2011 (UTC) (whoops didn't log in)[reply]

In the beginning our command center was irc.nintelligent.net (now defunct.) The rooms name was #CoSplay. The original admins of the first channel were named Banhammer, Hitlery, Moose, Anonicole, Notatripfag, and SAtempus.
I was Banhammer, the room owner. Our initial plans involved most of what is already listed (under "internet activities") however, we also had secondary rooms for our press releases/news room, propaganda, and blackops.
In our black ops room DDoS attacks were planned as a diversion to get in to their systems and wreak havoc... Among other, more malicious, things.
Propaganda was based more around posters and spreading the word.
Our news room was where many of the now well known videos/press releases were drafted and created.
We would often have upwards of 1000 people in the main irc channel at any given time during the day. admins had to mute all users just to get Basic information across, such as new video releases or attack dates/times.
I would have updated the main article, but this is anecdotal and not easily sourced.
someone, somewhere, might find this interesting or be able to source it correctly.
Hope someone enjoyed this before it was pruned. The more you know

Chanology is a portmanteau of Chan and Scientology.

It is a mashup of chan, referring to 4chan or to the private irc channels used to protect privacy of the anonymous group; plus -ology, referring to Scientology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.190.133.143 (talk) 01:39, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

About 9000 members? Haha, OVER9K is ... A MEME.

Not a number. Way to lock a page, people.
