#JesseVenturaBelieves Storms Twitter

The latest Twitter meme started by famed @OpieRadio is sweeping the Twitterverse faster than an egg in transwarp. #JesseVenturaBelieves chronicles the factual beliefs held by a one Jesse Ventura. Jesse Ventura, pretty much completely unknown outside of America, is an ex-professional wrestler turned politician turned conspiracy kook. He currently wastes natural resources for network television channel TruTV. His show, Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura features top notch investigative journalism as Ventura hunts down the truth behind the world's greatest conspiracy theories. Network executives reportedly signed off on the show commenting that Operation Repo wasn't unbelievable enough. The Twitter trend comes on the heels of an astonishing interview with Larry King.

The end of imgDump

Well, the time has finally come. imgDump will become a memory of internet past. Why you ask? The cost. Since our big server jump a year ago it's cost me around €25, ad revenue only brings in about €7, monthly. At the end of this month that price is slated to nearly double, something I can't keep supporting from my pockets anymore. Thus, it must come to an end, but we will have a swan song. There are two things I'm planing if I can sort the logistics. 1. Per requests I will archive and upload individual galleries for fans to download mass. If you really like [obscure anime] then soon you will probably be able to shoot me an email and I'll follow up with an archive.

Verizon Wireless has blocked 4chan

Has Verizon Wireless pulled an AT&T with their blocking of 4chan? via status.4chan.org
Over the past 72 hours, we've been receiving reports from Verizon Wireless customers having difficulty accessing the image boards. After investigating, we found that Verizon is dropping traffic to/from boards.4chan.org, only on port 80 (HTTP). No other subdomain/IP/port is affected, which leads us to believe this block is intentional. A call was placed to their support staff last night, and we were told that the ticket would not be looked at until Monday at the earliest, and: "You'll need the customer to call to request it be unblocked..." If you've been affected by this block, please contact Verizon Wireless customer support. The numbers we were given are: "Verizon Wireless NRB: (866) 298-5373" and "Verizon Wireless DSO: (800) 770-1179". Note: Users with mobile browsers that proxy (BlackBerry, Opera) won't necessarily have issues accessing the boards.
