* September 16 - Despite being previously allowed, #gamergate (which had been ongoing for weeks) is suddenly banned and every post deleted, without explanation. Users riot and accuse an unspecified "rogue mod". In the wake of the crackdown, 4chan's "feedback" page is also removed from the website, moot's e-mail address disappears from all contact pages, and Germany allegedly gets a mass IP range ban (this was then discovered to be just a rumour with no basis, due to several German flags appearing on /int/). | * September 16 - Despite being previously allowed, #gamergate (which had been ongoing for weeks) is suddenly banned and every post deleted, without explanation.

* September 18 - Sticky on /v/. moot declares GamerGate officially banned from the whole site because of Global Rule 4 (no doxxing). "''Said threads are being deleted primarily because they violate our blanket "no personal information / raids / calls to invasion" rule. Spamming the reports system and creating multiple topics were also a factor, especially given /v/ is one of 4chan's fastest moving boards and has historically struggled with keeping topics limited to actual video games.''" Following the crackdown, a vast amount of complaining stirs up on /b/, with a good portion of threads speaking out against 4chan moderation and administration. Many of said threads say that users should simply leave on October 1st (4chan's 11th anniversary) and only return when (and if) moderation of 4chan returns to its original relaxed state. A 4chan clone, 8chan, gets popular for discussing Gamergate threads. Linking to it results in an auto-ban. | * September 18 - Sticky on /v/. moot declares GamerGate officially banned from the whole site because of Global Rule 4 (no doxxing).

* October 1 - The 17 year old kid from /out/ now titled Little Thor by the community passes the 1000km mark. /b/ also attempts [http://web.archive.org/web/20151023083256/https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Operation_Timebomb_v2 Operation Timebomb v2] but fails. 8chan raids /b/. The raid lasts five minutes before it's pruned away due to /b/'s speed. Hilarity ensues. People complain on 8chan about their permanent bans from 4chan, which really makes no sense since they said the raid would've been their last visit to 4chan in the first point. | * October 1 - The 17 year old kid from /out/ now titled Little Thor by the community passes the 1000km mark. /b/ also attempts [http://web.archive.org/web/20151023083256/https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Operation_Timebomb_v2 Operation Timebomb v2] but fails. 8chan raids /b/.

* October 5 - A /b/tard presents proof that he has played Linkin Park's "In the End" nearly 65 thousand times, stating that he "liked the song."
