User blog comment:Bunnyboo50/Wikia is in Danger/@comment-961279-20110517024807

As was said before, this was  not  done by Anonymous. All you have to do is read the page about them on Wikipedia to realize three things:
 * They act when they feel something is very wrong.
 * They go after the parent company, even if it's one particular branch of that company that was the cause.
 * When they do attack, it's much more rapid, severe and effective than what we saw happen here.

Those points raise the following questions:
 * 1) If the vandalism was done by Anonymous, what did each of these wikis do that was so wrong that Anonymous would feel it necessary to realiate?
 * 2) Why would Anonymous break from its philosophy of "the general is responsible for the conduct of all soldiers under their command" to go after individual wikis instead of Wikia itself?

The answers to those questions are: there isn't anything those wikis did that was "so wrong" and Anonymous wouldn't go after individual wikis instead of Wikia.

I looked at the vandalism and saw that they picked something that doesn't take much effort to change but has a wide-spread effect on a single wiki. So they went to a few other wikis and did the same thing there. It doesn't take long to fix, so the damage is minimal, other than people getting riled up about it.

What happened on these wikis was equivalent to a kid learning that if they kick over an anthill, they can watch all the ants scurry around in panic and using a magnifying glass to burn some of the ants. If this was Anonymous, it would be more along the lines of the ants biting the kid, so the kid gets a fire hose and turns it on full blast to obliterate the entire ant colony and drown the queen.

As Takecommand said, let's get back to our lives. Continuing to wail and lament over what was done isn't useful and only serves to feed the troll.
