Netpocalypse (Scenario: Beta)

Netpocalypse, or Webmageddon, was a cyberwarfare incident that occurred throughout the spring of 2032. 
==Background==
Netpocalypse is largely known to have been started by alt-right 4chan users, in an attempt to wipe out opposing websites widely consered left-wing such as Tumblr. A group of 4 hackers known as "The 4" lead the attack, causing the most damage through attacking the sites themselves as well a promoting the doing of so. 
Tumblr users as well as left-leaning Redditers retributed with the same practices following the first wave of attacks.
Methods used by both sides were DDoS, various viruses and malware, as well as attempts to wiping server data clean. 
==Aftermath==
Following Netpocalypse, many thought said websites (Reddit, 4chan, and Tumblr) were wiped completely from the face of the earth. New websites were founded soon following as replacements with many soon expanding beyond the originals' userbase.
Starting in 2034, archives begin propping up utilizing website backups - though many only had a fragment of the original. The largest known are Chronicles of Snoo (containing 57% of the original Reddit, with whole subreddits being intact), Un4chanate (containing 44% of the original 4chan), and TumblingDown (containing 68% of the original Tumblr). Sites such as InfoWars were wiped completely, and were unable to be archived. 
Netpocalypse is noted to have killed off much of the alt-right netwise, many being pushed back farther into the dark web.
===Successor Sites===
Notable successor sites include of:
*Blogr - A microblogging site distinguishable from Blogger, founded by a former Tumblr user in 2033.
