The Great Habbo Raid of July 2006From WhatPort80The Great Habbo Raid of July 12, 2006 was an online version of The Million Man March to protest the racism of the Habbo mods. It was the first of a series of raids to end all raids. This raid was ran by Mikeyk? who later was hacked and IP banned shortly after. At the time of the ban Mikeyk? was spotted as a "white man". Some say he was the most powerful man in Habbo.... NEVA FORGET! The First RaidEbaumsworld claims responsibility for the July 12 Raid The raid was plotted out in the cornhole of the internet, that is to say, /b/, as a massive protest concerning the recent outbreak of disease in the pool. The date of July 12th was chosen for the raid; of note, this is the official birthday of the black comedian, Bill Cosby. Over 9000 Internet warriors of /b/, YTMND, Encyclopedia Dramatica, myg0t, Bantown, and possibly Purelily got in the traditional clothing: black man with afro, suit, matching creased pants, and black loafers. Starting at around 2pm PST (though scheduled for 7pm PST), they started hitting the pools. Then they hit the library. A select few even went after private rooms, where they were nearly invincible from banning. The plan was to distract all mods using the pool floors while other anons would mess around on the rest of the hotel. At about 8:30 PST, a lot of people got bored of it and went on to international hotels. Specifically to call everyone in the Japanese hotel an asian and to make swastikas (卐) in habbohotel.de. Flooding techniques included the eponymous Desu, Developers Developers Developers Developers, racist jokes, furry crap, Cracky-chan, Longcat, loldongs, other memes from the five powers, and an odd scene of African-Americans grouping together in the form of a swastika. Organised RuinThe IRC chat #Poolsclosed on Rizon jumped from 10 people to nearly 200 as the forces built against Habbo hotel, and it was eventually (And finally) reset, which resulted in a win. Bantown also ran a habbo channel where much of the raid was planned out and squadrons of soldiers were made up to attack private rooms as well as public. Every trooper was used wisely, and when every public room was blocked, they moved on to non-English speaking hotels. Also, notable victories over Habbo include the fact that habbodiscussion.com, the official Habbo Hotel forum, was inadvertently DDOS'ed for hours on end and consequentially because of the massive raids, closed to new members. It is worth noting that it only took 396 simultaneous users to bring habbodiscussion crashing to its knees, during what was intended to be a forum raid and not a DDOS. The results were quite impressive. As of 2:30AM EST, there was still small groups of forces from 4Chan still patrolling the hotel, blocking nearly unobstructed because most of the moderators decided to get some sleep. To supplement the ruining, a phishing site was created here. TOW revisionismDespite all the evidence indicating otherwise, in a situation reminiscent of Holocaust denial, TOW refuses to believe that the Great Habbo Raid of July 2006 actually happened. This further highlights the ineptitude of the bureaucrats in charge. How to summon ruinationBy your powers combined, I am the ruination of Habbo Hotel. The Aftermath
