So apparently it got DDoS'd today.
My initial reaction: LOL

Anyone know any details?

I was at work so I didn't notice until I check the news. I heard it was from 4chan/b/. Anyone knows details? That said, it was almost like the end of the world to some ppl. I don't mind Facebook personally, although I do not use it that much. I am not much into that kind of site (which is why I no longer use MySpace and never got a Twitter account. Myspace was cool because of showcasing my music but I was only getting 1000 views a year there, compared to 10000-20000 on Youtube, and the players available are unreliable.

Oh gawd. I was there when the original thread was posted in /b/ a month or two ago. Looks like they went through with it haha

DDoS = Distributed denial of service attack. EDIT by DJ: Please do not suggest tools to attack web servers nor discuss about ways on how to do it. Thanks.

It got DDoS attacked. An attack to send extreme amounts of requests to a server to make it unavailable for legitimate users.

Also, Broseph I edited a part of your post above. Let's not discuss about ways to DDoS attack a site either.

read: he wants to stalk you. Just kidding ;D. I will add you later. I thought about adding a Omni group there, but it will be read-only, to make sure the discussion happens on Omni, avoiding splitting discussion between two places. That said, in the future, it might be nice if I added a Facebook/twitter mod on the site so people can post topics from here on FB/twitter. This could attract more traffic.

No problem, just being careful in case those tools would fall under bad hands :P
