zade_o Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Ok, for the past few days, some of the admins have been setting us up for a prank. They had 2 noob accounts talking about buying the forums from Marsh and it caused quite a stir.Today we awake to find that one of the noob accounts has become the Owner account and he posted a thread explaining the transition and stating that everyone that was an administrator or a mod had been stripped of their title. He also started muting people that called him an idiot and the likes.So, we waited a while to try and get the truth out (that this was an april fools joke) but it didn't seem to be coming any time soon so we started messing with the forums because quite frankly, we hated him. So, first of all I started posting about like 400 images at once in the shoutbox and it stretched it so far you couldn't post anything.Then, after that I said if you wanna crash the site, then PM me. So a couple of people pmed me. I explained how to DDos the site and they chose to do so. The site crashed like 30 minutes later. About 4 hours later or so, the forums were finally back up and we had been banned.That good enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zade_o Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 I was hoping for this to be stickied and locked. There's no need for bashing people and calling names, it will only divide the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Refuge Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I can tell you right now that Mistro did not mute anybody; Renzo muted one user for spamming the shoutbox before Mistro was promoted; I know this, because I was playing the role of Mistro.Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted.

xeross Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 you can't ddos a website with only 1 comp, you need a network of atleast 40 comps for that, and that's on a small website hosted on a home computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xeross Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 hard to believe that eclipse that's running on dedicated or shared hosting of a big company goes down because of 2-20 people ddosing it i would assume you would atleast need a http flood capable program and atleast 100(And that's really low i think) or more zombies doing it.

zade_o Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah. Obviously you're wrong about the network of at least 40 comps considering I think only 3 people did it.I believe they were all doing it with like 10 dos windows though. Idk if that changes it or not.Also, for the record, i was never notified it was a joke. I returned to the site and I was banned. That was all.

Admiral Refuge Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 They were all just pinging the site from what I've heard…Either way, Marsh's dedicated server ran out of memory from it and crashed; we were stuck with a "Internal Server Error 500" thing until Marsh splurged about $400 for the hosting company to give him more memory, so he was able to get on the forums again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
