Everyone's avatars dissapeared...I never had one, but I just notice that everyone elses' dissapeared...

1. Thank the pigboy and his minions.

I'm sure it's a bandwith-saving measure, and temporary until the DOS attacks are over.

2. I Asked on "Ask the Administrators"

Elad said they turned them off to take some of the load off the servers. They should be back on later tonight.

4. like gopisevil said, its a denial of service attack.

you can see the "ping" thing in the freepers thread. The "traffic" is intentional to shut us down...

7. what does their "ping" symbol signify?

Is it a call to DOS attack?

[GOPisEvil]

8. Yup...basically it's call out to "call" the DU server.

Thus tying it up its resources and making life generally less than fun around here.

It's game for infantile minds...perfect for the freepers.

6. Ah how cute!!

Fucknuts opens his big yap and all the sheeple follow. To think that blowhard pill popping sack of shit reads ours posts makes me so proud. I'm so glad to continue to piss off those ignorant nazi bastards.

..... every ten DOS attacks earns him a shiny new Oxycontin.

10. DU Lawyers - help me out here... (re: RICO & FCC law)

Doesn't calling for or inciting a DOS attack run afoul of RICO statutes and/or FCC regs? I, for one would be elated to kick hundreds of $$$ to the DU admins to persue this in court. These type of fascist tactics should never go unchallenged!
