Man, this was funny as hell.
People suddenly started posting about how angry they were that 9gag was stealing and "monetizing" their memes, even though basically every site on the cheezeburger network do this. A thread came up about DDOS'ing 9gag, which excited all the wannabe skids that lurk 4chan. Of course, since anyone who is actually good with computers left 4chan long ago, and I think they managed to take down the store for a few minuets.
After they realized that this wasn't working, they decided to flood the vote page with gore.
That worked. 9gaggers were scarred. I thought this was a bit too far, but 4chan have destroyed people in the past.
Where were Reddit and Funnyjunk in all this? There were a few threads about how "The enemy of our enemy is our friend" and that they should go to Reddit and funnyjunk for help. This didn't work though, as 4chan tend to stupidly hate every single site on the net (even 4chan) and it didn't kick off.
The whole thing is stupid, IMO. Memes should be enjoyed, and people need to make money. 9gag is actually ok, Reddit and funnyjunk are awesome (apart from the bronie posts everywhere)
Thanks for reading
