   LOL Rickraid. Someone should make an Encyclopedia Dramatica entry for this.

2. El Mex March 21st, 2008 at 16:37 2

   Peer Guardian ftw.

   Now, I’m all against real CP and all that, but this is going too far. Why can’t they bother to go after the people making this stuff rather than the ones just watching it?

   Plus it’s a complete trap. It might be the person clicked out of curiosity or thought it was something else. This is a huge violation of something. I’m not sure what, but you can’t arrest people because you tricked them into “breaking the law”. Much in the same way having female undercover cops dress up as hookers and arrest the guys who try to pay for a service.

   This is all just so wrong. But I can see that being another attempt to “protect the children” no one with any degree of political power is going to want to touch this, much less protest against it.

   >Imagine the lulz when 4chan gets a hold of those links.
   I´d love to see that

5. th other anonymous March 21st, 2008 at 20:00 5

   so if I know of aone of these links and anon post it on some chan as almost anything or even on some political site and misrepresent it and someone gors there they get arrested? And for what?
   This is just a show to drive the numbers up having nothing to do with any “crime”.

   PrimeSonic: Because they don’t give a damn about stopping it.

   I expect they’ve gotten enough information from warrantless wiretaps (you though those were about terrorists?) to start going after the next Martin Luther Kings. The FBI will have things much than the Stasi ever did.

   Welcome to the police state.

7. TDC March 22nd, 2008 at 0:14 7

   Eff yew, FBI!

   Geez, one organization after another is pissing me off…:(

8. TDC March 22nd, 2008 at 0:16 8

   “Imagine the lulz when 4chan gets a hold of those links.”

   I would only think it would be EPIC of they did.

9. Jase March 22nd, 2008 at 0:45 9

   I’m sure they’d check your HD for actual CP before they arrest you.

   Don’t worry though. The internet will ruin this for sure. Rickraiding, I like the name.

10. heavens lolipop March 22nd, 2008 at 1:47 10

    *knock knock* guess who and its NOT the party van.

11. Kat March 22nd, 2008 at 1:49 11

    they said it was on a site called “ranchi” in the article lol
    i shall find this site, and find freedns/dyndns links and repost them wherever i see fit

12. Kat March 22nd, 2008 at 1:53 12

    FWIW I dont care so much that theyre doing this as long as they keep after people looking for sex/rape stuff and not …. well in my case just not junior idols…which arent illegal anyway.

13. Senbon Zakura March 22nd, 2008 at 2:30 13

    Wow, when 4chan gets their hands on the links I’ll really have to be careful with what I click on O_o

    It seems too easy to just suddenly label someone as a sex offender because they clicked on a link to something. People (4chan) are going to start posting links saying things like “New so-and-so trailer!” and then it’ll link you to that and you’ll get raided

14. TDC March 22nd, 2008 at 2:33 14

    “People (4chan) are going to start posting links saying things like “New so-and-so trailer!” and then it’ll link you to that and you’ll get raided”

    That is why I avoid 4chan.

    I can’t understand how to navigate that place, anyway.

15. El Mex March 22nd, 2008 at 7:53 15

    TDC: Don’t you worry TDC, I am sure you keep your Shota nice and buried :3 As for me, I keep my Lolis where they belong ^_^. In a deep underground vault >3.

    Still though I always keep my Pg2 up and running just in the event that I come across some dangerous territory. And it keeps me Torrenting without a care in the world ^_^.

16. PrimeSonic March 22nd, 2008 at 12:05 16

    You know, thinking it over, maybe it would be for the best that many of these “rickraids” happen. Once the FBI starts wasting time, resources, and manpower on 90% false alarms, then this whole system will probably be discarded.

    It’s already been mentioned on 4chan, now all that’s left is to find the link. I’m sure someone might try.

17. the other anonymous March 22nd, 2008 at 17:25 17

    isn’t rick rack used for sewing hems or trimming garments?
    Anyhow like carnivore and such all this is just a way of searching for needle in haystack by first making an even larger haysttack
    The object is to increase the terror or control, however you wish to view it. In the end is just the sign of a civilization in decay like Rome becoming Christian and then going under quickly!
    They did much better as pagans, much better.
    Anyone else having problems posting on this site? The past few days it loads really slow even on high speed so you can imagine the wait on my usual dial-up! Also when I post the page seems to freeze everytime. The posts show up when I check later but I have a “waiting for lolitron” on the battom of browser for up to ten minutes. Every place else I go to works okay so are there server problems or is the whole world here lately?
    Nice o see El Mex and TDC both have underground stashes… I have been watching Silence of the Lambs to much I think (call for help!) but refuse to worry. (call for help!!!)

    PrimeSonic: In America, it is legal for such tactics to be used by law enforcement. Regular citizens can’t do it though. The general idea is that if you can’t stop a crime from the supply side, stop it from the demand side: Can’t stop the pimp or the hooker? Stop the John; Can’t stop the drug dealer? Stop the drug junkie; Can’t stop the producer of child porn? Stop the pedophile who watches it! After all, it doesn’t pay to produce or provide anything legal or illegal if it’s suddenly too dangerous for anyone to avail themselves of it.

19. Lolicon March 22nd, 2008 at 19:46 19

    But it would be 10 000 times harder to stop it on the demand side, LMAO!!! XD if they cannot stop it on the Supply side, where lets say a number: 10 000 ppl are, giving out illegal stuff, but on the Demand side there like: 10 000 000 ppl, so LOL it would be 1000 times easier to stot it at the roots, than at the top….

    So it is 1000 times easier to close a tap, than using a spoon to get the continously flowing water out of the sink LOL - Pathetic Fools -.-

20. PrimeSonic March 22nd, 2008 at 23:02 20

    Must be that I lost the idea of what a free and democratic state is supposed to feel like. I once truly believed that the US was really a free and just country. These days each new day brings a new event that shows it creeping slowly towards something that’s decidedly the opposite.

    Well, the only real freedom we have here is having such inept and corrupt politicians that they never get anything useful done or much less mess with the citizens’ lives beyond some mayor fuck up to the economy. Oh well, Life’s a bitch, but some things are just wrong no matter where you live.

21. Anonymous March 23rd, 2008 at 0:37 21

    OK guys, SINCE THE FUCKING BEGINNING only a complete retard would follow a link posted on an imageboard or at least following it without proxy condom. However, it seems that now imageboards are full of said retards so meh. Proceed.

22. Aya Kyunik March 23rd, 2008 at 4:22 22

    Gah…must always be wary~~

23. Pyrus March 23rd, 2008 at 5:41 23

    Lolicon: But law enforcement doesn’t start out knowing who the suppliers are, so they go after the customers, looking for clues and scaring them into snitching and what-not. The tactic seems to be to either use the customer to get at the supplier or take out so many customers that the suppliers have to go elsewhere for a profit.

    PrimeSonic: You haven’t lost a thing. The U.S. Constitution and government have been described as an experiment by more than one historian. Unfortunately, it’s not a double-blind experiment with a control group to measure against or compare with!
    The politicians aren’t inept: They manage to continuously take turns warming the various seats over and over again. The corruption comes from owing too many favors, taking too many bribes and “gifts”, and taking it for granted that they will always be able to get away with these acts.

24. Pyrus March 23rd, 2008 at 6:02 24

    Anonymous: Can’t be helped. Computer software is more or less designed for ease of use. This is so people can use computers without really understanding how to use computers or how computers can be used. The end result is that more people are using computers with less knowledge and less training - an I’m a prime example of such people!

25. Sev March 23rd, 2008 at 7:39 25

    Man, as others have said I’m really going to have to watch what links I click due to 4chan. I can just see the aftermath when someone gets ahold of one of the actual links. It’s going to be epic.

26. PrimeSonic March 23rd, 2008 at 22:49 26

    @ Pyrus: Forgive me if I was unclear but when I was talking about “here” I meant my country and not the US. Sure we’re a democracy, but that doesn’t seem to mean squat nowadays when it’s a representative democracy.

27. Jacob March 24th, 2008 at 1:44 27

    Find the links. Post them on a “nice” site disguised as something else (”click here to learn more about the immorality of birth control”). Target “Who will protect the children” hand-wringing type sites, sites that cater to moral prigs willing to throw away freedoms and common sense so that the government can continue pursuing useless tactics that accomplish little. Get a few “good citizens” doors kicked in by the FBI. That would put an end to this sort of nonsense quick, yes?
    If entrapment is good for the goose, its good for the gander.

28. the other anonymous March 24th, 2008 at 16:39 28

    Is our society harmful to lolicon and lolis?
    so far, yes!

29. Pyrus March 25th, 2008 at 2:05 29

    @ PrimeSonic: No problem. A politician is a politician regardless of nationality or system of government.

30. El Mex March 25th, 2008 at 3:11 30

    Hey Guysh whats up?!? (LOL PrimeSonic reference >3)

    I don’t think the FBI is going to drain its resources trying to capture the criminals they seem to plant evidence on. Maybe they pick and choose. Or maybe they just are trying to scare us D:

31. TDC March 25th, 2008 at 3:31 31

    I think they are trying to scare us, really.

32. PrimeSonic March 25th, 2008 at 3:33 32

    Mex, I’m gonna track you down, find you, and take all your lolis away. Fate worse than death itself.

33. El Mex March 25th, 2008 at 6:27 33

    PS: D: I dun have any Loli’s to call my own anymore. Oh the days when I could just jump in my bed and swim around in panties of my Loli’s are over. >.<

34. the other anonymous March 25th, 2008 at 17:04 34

    Doesn’t UNICEF have an emergency loli loan plan for distressed peoples?
    People have drowned, er, smothered actually, swimming like that El Mex ! So dog paddle or breast stroke *)?

35. Anonymous March 26th, 2008 at 11:40 35

    or you could just make a site supposedly filled with hentai then if you click on the links they’d autoredirect onto that url

36. X March 27th, 2008 at 3:36 36

    Haa that would be funny give the links to the 4channers then the Party Van gets active Knock Knock whos their “Not the party van lol” anyways trapping someone to a baited link seems a little shady mean curiousity or a white hat could trip on it. be pretty weird to see a Fbi squad jump in through your window and say busted lol.

37. TDC March 27th, 2008 at 3:57 37

    @ X: Especially if you are surfing porn links and are in the process of fappage.

38. LoliHat March 27th, 2008 at 4:14 38

    First being on the same side as the Birchers over UNICEF…and now this:

    It’s the lolipocalypse !

39. MV March 27th, 2008 at 4:50 39

    I’m scared to click that link.

40. LoliHat March 27th, 2008 at 14:39 40

    @MV:

    LOL

41. TDC March 27th, 2008 at 22:16 41

    @ MV: See, they already have you under their thumb!

42. El Mex March 28th, 2008 at 5:24 42

    @Everyoane: Lol, under their thumb eh….
    Kinda kinky in a way. I think one of my Loli’s put it best: “Welcome to the internet. Where the men are pedo’s, the women are men, and the children are Federal Agents.”

    @TDC: Women Fap? o_O Well maybe I understand the concept, but doesn’t it sound more like….Squip?

43. Marouku March 28th, 2008 at 17:27 43

    @El Mex: No, it’s still called fapping. :v

44. El Mex March 28th, 2008 at 21:41 44

    @Marouku: Well thats dumb o_O. Who the hell made that up? That’s like saying that cat is barking. Sure it doesn’t sound like “bark” but the cat is communicating, and dog’s bark to communicate so lets just call it that.

45. TDC March 29th, 2008 at 0:28 45

    I don’t know the right term for a woman masturbating…O.O

46. El Mex March 29th, 2008 at 5:27 46

    It’s squip! Women love to squip ^o^. In fact, I bet TDC is squipping as we speak :O

    Man? Well thats left up to interpretation.
