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.

About Us

Otaku Revolution is run by myself, Falldog, and long term associate PenguinTruth. We've had a few other contributors over the years as well, including Juu-kuchi and singled_out. It's been mainly just a place for our various nerd musings since 2008. At some point I thought it would be nifty to have a full blown anime site, but tallent and ambition aren't always hand in hand.

OtakuRevolution.com was born from another site, OtakuRevolution.net, which was a web forum and sprite comic site dating back to the early 2000s. I was a member at that time, and somehow snagged the .com TLD when it popped up. The Otaku Revolution name lives on in remembrance of that simpler time.
