1. Thank the pigboy and his minions.
I'm sure it's a bandwith-saving measure, and temporary until the DOS attacks are over. :eyes:

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.

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

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.

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!
