A screenshot of 4chan's /his/ board being raided by soyteens.
Raids are the the act of a group of people (or an autist with proxies/alt accounts) flooding other websites with undesirable content, or just generally trying to prank/harm other groups/people online en masse. Raids are a common activity on soyjak.party which has a /raid/ board for organizing them, though many if not most raids are first posted about on /soy/.
4chan, particularly the /b/ board became infamous for constantly raiding other sites as well as doing some irl raids. Most of /b/'s smaller raids were done alone, though for some of the bigger raids /b/ often recruited users from other sites such as 7chan, Encyclopedia Dramatics, Somethin Awful and YTMND. A famous example of such raid was the December 20th, 2006 raid on conservative talk show host Hal Turner's "final" radio show, for which 4chan recruited SA, 7chan and YTMND and over 150 prank calls were submitted.
/b/'s raids landed 4chan and its owner Moot into trouble with glowniggers, so on August 23rd of 2006, moot made a sticky announcing that anyone posting "illegal" threads will receive a permanent ban and possibly get handed over to the authorities and that anyone replying to them would get a two-week global ban as well, among the things considered illegal were raids and doxing. The backlash to this was enormous and caused a mass migration of users to 7chan which had a dedicated /i/- invasions board which 4chan did not (7chan's /i/ board had to be shut down on January 24th, 2007 due to it violating the host's terms of service). This event is known as /b/ day. Despite raids getting officially banned, /b/ continued conducting them in spite of the rules all the time, notable examples being the aforementioned Hal Turner raids, the project chanology raids and some of the Zelda Universe raids. /b/ has since stopped being a raiding force because it's now a wasteland of gay cuck porn and many of it's users left to other boards/websites.
In current times, the mods on 4chan will sometimes turn a blind eye to certain raids or people inciting them, which makes their true stance on raiding a bit difficult to gauge. here are some example of recent raids that weren't cracked down on, if you want to participate in/incite 4chud raids keep in mind that it's possible the mods just didn't notice these-
January 28th 2021 - /v/ raids a Q&A stream with the developer of a Fallout New Vegas mod with troll questions, the stream also gets DDOSed.[1]
2021 - /pol/ raided tranny subreddits by making accounts called "I_Follow_Men" or "Dilate" and followed trannies en masse, at least one subreddit was locked as a result. In October /pol/ also had several threads from which they raided the southwest airlines forum, which were taken down for maintnence.[2]
/a/ Dragon Ball Super threads occasionally discuss raids on other sites.
On soyjak.party
Raids are a common activity on the party and are fully allowed. Raids almost always involve flooding websites (usually imageboards) with soyjaks, or stealing GETs. Below is a list of failed and successful raids the party has conducted.
Successful Raids
Early October 2021 - The party raided 1chan, an old imageboard about trains or something. A ton of ancient threads were wiped.
March 2021 - Operation wikisneedia, originally intended to "raid Wikimedia Commons with Creative Commons licensed soyjaks" but also grew to include adding references to sneed's feed and seed in many articles.
November 5th 2021 - The party raided 4chan's /f/ board, the board is used mainly by 2 people and jannies never look at it so it was an instant success.[3]
February 4th 2021 - A raid on 4chan's /his/ - "History and Humanities" board. Arguably the party's biggest WINraid so far, 8 and a half pages were wiped from the catalog and the mods had to restore threads from the archives to repopulate the board.[4][5][6]Soyteens won.">
November 3rd 2021 - The infamous raid on 4chan's /lgbt/ board, during which about 4 pages of the catalog were wiped by troonjak threads. The raid actually began on /qa/ when a frogposter made a thread about his troonjak threads on /lgbt/,[7] some people posted threads as well and a couple hours later it snowballed into a big raid and was subsequently posted about on the party.[8] Following this, /qa/ was frozen by the mods.
The party has raided jackbox twitch streams several times.[9][10][11]
January 23rd 2021 - The party raided r/inceltear, a redditor tried to DDOS the party but a chud got him to write an apology letter.[12]
November 21st 2021 - The party steals [s4s]'s 10M GET, the biggest GET the board has ever had up to that point.[13]
Failed Raids
Soyteens lost.
November 26th 2021 - The party tries to steal the 10M and 9999999 GETs on 4chan's /d/ but fails to score neither.[14]
January 14th 2022 - The party tries to steal the 24M GET on /lgbt/ but fails to do so.
January 2022 - The party raids a thread on 8kun's /qresearch/ board but a janny was in there so it mostly failed.
November 10th 2021 - Operation Soyclipse, the party's biggest shame. This was a massive raid planned on several 4chan boards in retaliation for /qa/ getting frozen that attracted a ton of attention and hype but failed within seconds.[15][16] Some chuds tried to rebound the next day by posting troonjaks on /lgbt/. While the soyclipse was an embarassment valuable lessons were learned from it-
1 - Don't plan raids days in advance on a public website that's notorious for raiding.
2 - Don't shill the party on the website that we're currently planning a raid on - many people were shilling during the preparations so by the time the raid went off everybody on 4chan knew and were talking about it.
3 - Don't spread our forces too thin - The raid was intended to hit 2-4 different board even though most raiders focused on /lgbt/. focus on one board instead.
December 2nd 2021 - The party tried to steal the 44M GET on 4chan's /biz/ but fails.
January 6th 2022 - The party tries to raid /lgbt/ but it was planned too early again and failed.
January 12th 2022 - The party proposes a takeover of 4chan's /adv/ but everyone just gives up and talks about random stuff in the thread instead.
