/b/space Day was a lulz fest which occurred on November 21, 2006 when /b/ invaded MySpace, probably through the use of phishing techniques. A list of 40,000 MySpace accounts were uploaded to the internets, originally on /b/ but which quickly spread throughout them, lulz ensued.

The events that set /b/space Day into motion are rumored to be as follows; Anonymous put keystroke recording software on a public computer at a school, which was widely used by the students and others to access MySpace. Over 40,000 (why 40,000 teenagers with MySpace would be using the same computer at school is never explained) valid e-mail addresses and passwords were collected by the keystroke logging software and the WHOLE list was posted by Anonymous on /b/. From there, the list rapidly spread all over the intarwebs and into the hands of trolls everywhere. Working together, the /b/tards and otherkin went on a R-R-RAMPAGE, invading MySpace with a flood of desu, tubgirl, lemonparty, and furry pr0n, as well as many attempts to ruin lives, relationships and status, thus generating massive amounts of lulzy-drama and possibly 40,000 attempts to be an hero. Many teenagers found bulletins from their friends over MySpace which seemed out of character, such as: 'HAY GUYZ I R@PE BABYS LOL'. Many found that they had new goatse backgrounds on their profiles and some were even beaten up the day afterwords at school for that racist comment that was left on the black quarterback's profile. Thus is the power of /b/.

This was soon followed up by a second phishing attack, in which one /b/tard took one account, and managed to spread a phishing script to thousands more accounts through the efforts of /i/. More details here

PROTIP: It's not like any of the passwords will still work so don't waste your time trying.

PROTIP 2: Okay, I guess some of them DO still work. Lulz.
