So, /r/memes did a poll. The exact numbers happen to be multiples of 10%, but ignore that.

  • 10% of users want the blackout to continue
  • 10% of users want the subreddit to open back up as normal
  • 80% of users want the subreddit to only allow Medieval / Landed Gentry themed memes.

Henceforth: “The title of the posts must include either of the words ‘Medieval’, ‘Landed’ or ‘Gentry’, and the meme must include medieval content/images, or include content that features text about Landed Gentry.”

Hear ye, hear ye, the people hath spoken.

    Back in 2011, I lurked around 4chan for a few days before saying “never again”.

    During those days, there was a recurring DDOS attack that carpet-bombed /b/ with image posts from A Clockwork Orange, Malcolm McDowell with his eyes clamped open. The site got blasted with hundreds of identical image posts until the server went down.

    This sounds a little similar, although more flexible, not as intense. And DDOS is not the goal.
