I don't really get the joke...So...Battletoads isn't actually remade. Right, got that. But why call that specific GameStop?

PS - I'm removing that number from your post so people don't actually harass that store.

People would understand better if they knew about /b/

Battletoads is BIG. It's as big as Chuck Norris. It's a meme.

No, you ask if they have battletoads for the 360 or if it comes with offers.

It was a calling raid. All the people on /b/ would call their local Gamestop, and ask for Battletoads. The employee would say no, but the person would call back. Basically it was a phone raid.

I have to admit, /b/ has some balls. If this were organized on OT and for some reason the mods kept it unlocked I'd bet only 2% of the people who read the thread would actually do it.

That's because of a certain website, whose name is censored by GS, that often do raids on innocent people. This website is the biggest forum in the world (about 1,5 milion posts per day). And Battletoads is a meme over there. So they often raid gamestop or ebgames, asking for Battletoads or saying ''this new game... is it Battletoads?'' just for the fun of it or ''for the lulz, like they always say.

/b/can be interresting when it comes to religious/moral debates, though. People over can be surprisingly open minded sometimes. But I agree that they're a bunch of racists and sexists

Person or people that did this could go to jail for this. They can be charged with false advertisement, fraud,harassment, copyright & trademark infringement, ATTACKING/DAMAGING reputation. Namely Gamestop's. Probably won't though, because it's just not worth the time and legal fees it would take to prosecute whoever did this.

You cannot take anonymous to jail. Fox already tried, but only made anonymous stronger...

It would be impossible to trace. The people ringing up, gamestop wouldn't bother charging them and if you wanted to play it safe use skype which can't be traced.

I realize that, but if they keep doing this they will eventually be caught because you don't catch a prey by chasing after it you catch it by stalking it and setting traps. The point is if they are caught was it really worth a giggle? All they can do now is make it make it worse.

Anonymous people do get caught. It just depends on how dedicated someone is to catching them. People always brag. Soon there will be a name attatched to the incident. Someone who doesn't like him will probably contact the police and give them a suspect. People don't pull pranks and disappear. They brag. Other people know who did it. Then myths and rumors begin to identify or isolate likely suspects.

ok, I work at a gamestop, and that is really getting annoying. I just hang up whenever people ask about it or say they have a coupon. I am sure that almost all of the other stores are doing that also. it was kinda funny the first time, but now it is just irritating.

/b/ - a land of madmen and broken geniuses. the twisted debates and conversations must never be revealed to the real world! Every man, woman and child must be saved! Ironic - i found out about it from thsi site :lol:
