Tino Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 It occurs whenever it feels like doing it, from what I've seen. Bullshit. I personally have never experienced one of those apparant downtimes, but the problem must lie somewhere in the host, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyosua Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Actually it might've been someone trying to exploit us. In which case, fuck them, haha. Blocked their IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true, then that's awesome, because we can at least have a laugh at their failed attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was right, they were trying to exploit us. They didn't get very far, outside of kinda DoS'ing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what "DoS" means, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the server, which I think the "S" stands for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyosua Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 It means Denial of Service. It basically means they clogged the pipes by requesting from the server too much, and thus it appeared as though the server was down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I see, haha. Allow me to describe the persons who did that in one word: fuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeshroom Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Why would anyone want to DoS attack the site lol... It amazes me what people do sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyosua Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 That wasn't their intention, their intention was to gain unauthorized access. That, they failed at. The DoS was a side effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolDeath Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 "My evil plot is foiled, curse you vile Jyo" I don't understand why anyone would bother with this site (not meant to be offensive, I mean I don't see what point there is in going after a Fire Emblem fansite), so, time for a witch hunt?

There probably was no point. I've seen forums get hacked by (bored) trolls for shits and giggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of things that can't be understood from a sane person's perspective. Why do people create viruses to infect the average household computer?

A) Because they're sadistic. B) To practice before they get on making that supervirus to take over the world's greatest computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
