Just a note, but mastercard.com does not affect Mastercard's ability to process credit card transactions. 
mastercard.com does not generate any revenue whatsoever for Mastercard.
Also, I implore everyone to read what the word hacker really means. Here's the link to the jargon file for you convenience: http://ftp.sunet.se/jargon/html/index.html, more specifically, read this: http://ftp.sunet.se/jargon/html/crackers.html
Somebody used the blocking bank analogy before. It is somewhat inaccurate. A more accurate analogy would be to imagine if there were many people blocking a poster on a bank wall but people could easily enter the bank premises to do their banking.
That's right, folks. mastercard.com is a poster on a wall.
Sincerely,

A poster that millions of people view and it a big part of mastercard. Just because people can use their credit cards does not mean the site is not vital to the.

Is it bannable if I post how one can help with this attack?

I'm thinking there might be an issue with google's ad support if they suspect teamliquid contributing to the attack.

I'm a bit concerned for the skiddies doing this - normally the fact that there's a thousand or so doing it means that there's no prosecution.. but attacks of this scale, well, I'm concerned they may find themselves in hot water is all.

This whole thing just feels like a bunch of nerds trying to be important. Changing the world with cyber crime won't do anything but put a bigger gap between the people that have the power and the people that want the power. Do you really think the powers that be care that much about the internet, even in todays age?
I wonder how many people who are "helping" this attack, and "helping" wikileaks actually have the balls to stand in front of a tank, or march the white house in protest of something they see unjust. People need to stop trying to create political change while hiding behind a computer monitor, and start doing it the old fashioned way, in person where your face can be seen for the beliefs you claim to have.

I really think they do. Remember that the US government started it with the (D?)DOS on WikiLeaks. Well, unless it actually was a bunch of "patriotic hackers", but I'm doubtful of that.

If wikileaks is being supported by hackers that can take on a major credit card company they must have alternate agendas. These hackers aren't acting of their own accord they received orders from some of the top brass at wikileaks. As I suspected in the wikileaks drops the bomb thread, they are up to their own nefarious purposes.

Where do you get this information from? I've been following events as they happen on boards.4chan.org/b/ and anonops.net. They're not hackers and they're not following orders. They're using a simple to use program that uses DDoS or DoS attacks to overload webservers and they're doing it as a form of protest. You can participate or not yourself, just as everyone else is doing. Note that these attacks are considered illegal.
Please don't post your uninformed opinion as fact.

You dont have to be some famous super hacker to make a DoS attack on some site. Some 4chan script kiddies just denied access to a web page. You could do that too, it is not difficult to get the tools for that. I doubt there is any connection between Wikileaks and these "hackers"
Edit: Too slow...

People at 4chan will use everything as an excuse to do some DoS attacks.
Also, the only way people can still protest and influence society is to take all your money off the banks. If everyone collects their money, all banks will go broke and the financial system will go into meltdown. The whole financial sector does nothing good for society. They only shove around money while draining society of resources and talent.
And they decide what politicians get elected.

Where are people acrually getting this crap? Destroying financial sector? Have you even thought about this? I would be living with my parents until my 50 years if I would not be able to borrow money from the bank, I would not be able to buy car.... Not speaking about that, that only a few first people would be able to get their money, after the banks would bancrupt all the money people put there would be lost...
