| Project Chanology was an attack against the {{ED|Scientology|Church of Scientology}}, which whilst originally led by Anonymous, has escalated into a series of legal protests perpetrated by college students, moralfags, and activists who are not familiar with [[Anonymous]] or [[chan]] culture. Though many [[/i/|/i/nsurgents]] maintain that the original [[DDoS]] attacks and trolling methods produced considerable [[lulz]], there is a general consensus among non-chanologist insurgents that the protests are fail. The primary reason Chanology is considered to have failed is because of the unusual extent of moralfaggotry and srs business.

| =Beginnings=
| |
| It all started with [[Youtube]] controversy involving a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFBZ_uAbxS0 video of Tom Cruise] being censored and removed by the Co$. Everyone on the interbutts bawwed and got extremely butthurt. Even after Youtube brought back the video everyone, especially [[Anonymous]], was pissed, so [[711chan]] decided to DDoS [http://www.scientology.org/ Scientology.org] and a few other Scilon websites.

| =The raid gets huge=
| |
| As the raid began receiving shit tonnes of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz0T0im1lHY media attention] and the trolls continued to be fed, things escalated. More websites were brought down and Scientologist call centers were shut down, their flow of information brought to almost a complete halt through mass [[prank calls]] and black faxing. However, Chanologists (at this point still mostly anons) began recruiting on a wider scale; a move that would doom the chans to become corrupted with more [[cancer|newfags]] than one could possibly ever imagine. Myspace, Facebook, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCbKv9yiLiQ Youtube], people even handed out fliers at local colleges.
| |
| | |
| ''Why fliers you ask?'' Because [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW466xcM0Yk Mark Bunker] demanded that Anonymous cease it's hacking and begin a series of legal, IRL protests. This is how Chanology finally slipped out of the hands of anon.
| |
| | |
| =Shit gets worse=
| |
| After moving Chanologists to [[/xenu/]] for a few months, Jewlion finally began handing out b&s to anyone who even mentioned Chanology anywhere on the site, and with no Chanology board to dump all their shit on, Chanology was hence removed from the *chans. The new center of Chanology related activity became [[Enturbulation|Enturbulation.org]]. Things were pretty stable, and Enturb was a good home for the {{ED|moralfag|moralfags}}, where they could continue to call themselves Anonymous and COMPLETELY FUCKING IGNORE rules 1 & 2 whilst not actually having anything to do with the original /i/nsurgency.
| |
| | |
| /i/ itself suffered greatly. Tonnes of newfags had slithered their way into the chans by lurking moar. Shit was getting bad and something had to be done.
| |
| | |
| =Modern Chanology=
| |
| To stop the moralfags from gaying up good chans, [[User:r3x|r3x]] created a chan, known as [[888chan]], aimed at maintaining Chanology on chans where all others had shunned it. These IRL raiders refer to themselves as Epic Fail Guys. Enturb was deleted by LE, and everything was moved to [[whyweprotest|WWP]]. Poppins reigned there for a while before being overthrown by da5id. Poppins now controls [http://www.anonnewswire.org/ AnonNewsWire.org].
| |
| | |
| The protests are finally starting to stop in many cities and shit is really losing steam, to the point where Project Chanology is more or less over except for some light trolling every now and then.
| |
| | |
| =Progress As of 25th March, 2009=
| |
| '''CORRECTION:''' No, the protests are not losing steam. The numbers of protestors have evidently reduced, roughly to about ten percent of the original numbers, but the protests are still occurring monthly in most major cities worldwide. There are determined individuals who are still pushing the issue. Note that I do not care too for about Chanology, but I feel I should be fair and point this out.
| |
| | |
| It remains to be seen whether Chanology will regain popularity and numbers; and, despite claims by the Epic Fail Guys that this will happen, they have yet to outline any plans for this. Perhaps, by throwing aside the moralfaggotry and letting trolls back into the fold, Chanology will be accepted by the trolls and the major imageboards again, losing its taboo status. Only time will tell.
| |
| | |
| In short, protester numbers have dropped, but are being maintained at about ten percent of the original strength. It is apparent, by now, that there will always be maintained interest in raids, for a few years at least, and no matter how small.
