	Absolute Zero has taken on a number of campaigns, some successful and some impotent. On the one hand, they were very successful at harassing the [[boylover]], [[Octaevius Altair]] and getting him banned from a number of on line communities and book distributors. It is worth noting that the level of targeted, destructive rage expressed by a number of members during this campaign erases all doubt that AZ is anything but a hate mob. On the other hand, AZ embarked on a highly comical and ineffectual crusade against Disney, calling for a boycott after journalist, John Stossel outraged them by exposing the true impact of [[statutory rape]] laws.

	Early on in its existence, AZU editorials focused on what the group saw as "pro-pedophile" cyber-activism, attempting to manipulate quotes, intimidate chosen enemies and shut down the sites of those who they found offensive via a flagging mechanism. AZU was instrumental in [[Blogger censorship]]. With the further advancement of online [[SOL Reform Activism]], purging of offensive pedophile blogs and establishment of less vulnerable replacements elsewhere, AZU turned its attention to Sex Offender activists such as [[Tom Madison]], attempting to link them and their groups with their previous [[pedophile]] targets. 2008 and 2009 postings ~~indicate~~ that AZU ~~is now~~ little more than an advert for [[Wikisposure]], and old posts ~~are~~ frequently shunted to the front of the site to make up for a drop in participation.
