It was 2006 IIRC. I was a teenager at the time and the raids were my favorite thing about /b/. I think we made up like 80% of the callers to Tom Green's online talk show - he was really getting a taste of his own medicine, after having grown out of such antics himself I didn't take part in anything like trying to drive people to suicide as described in the boingboing post in another comment in this thread. Once 4chan banned raids I moved on (and also aged out of such behavior). 4chan was a different place then. It's hard to imagine people assembling in Guy Fawkes masks to protest scientology today
