The girl known as Boxxy was a user of Gaia Online and had only uploaded three videos in total to YouTube. Within a week, her videos had gained over a million views, reaching two million by January 20. Her YouTube channel was also the most subscribed to during January 2009. On 4chan, the videos caused a great amount of strife when posts related to them became excessive on the site’s /b/ imageboard, eventually leading to a DDoS attack against 4chan because of Boxxy, described as a “civil war” on one of the world’s biggest Web sites.
