I think someone's messing with the forums

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-30, 01:08

ok, first, a couple days ago, DOF suddenly has a new record of having 88 users online (only 30-ish have registered) which I found extremely odd, then a few days later here has a new record of 119 users on and only about 20 were registered, so either there is a massive surge in FT popularity amongst guests, or the forums are or will be soon under most likely bot attack. it could be a test to see how many users it takes to crash the server, i don;t know, or it could be compltely harmless, but just keep a sharp lookout for suspicious activity on the forum

by Earthdeath 2009-08-30, 01:16

Ok, I'll keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary.

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-30, 01:17

hey look a duck!

by Earthdeath 2009-08-30, 01:20

Oh, thats normal.
Abnormal is things like Alka being a happy, rap loving optimist.

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-30, 01:22

well, i don't see any magma flowing out of the ground here, or total world endage, so i don;t think any of those things are going to happen to alka anytime soon

by Earthdeath 2009-08-30, 01:25

I cut my finger. Does that count as a bad sign?

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-30, 01:30

considering you get shot at...no. but, i'm off to bed cause one of my eyeballs just fell out and the other one is on the verge of falling out, so goodnight

by Earthdeath 2009-08-30, 01:31

You think your tired...
Night anyway. If the bed is made of nails, come back online.

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-30, 01:32

nah, i'll be asleep, REALLY asleep!!!

by Earthdeath 2009-08-30, 01:33

Say Hi to DJ for me then.

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-30, 01:34

oh, i found out he's not dead, but he's avoiding me. i think i'm his conscious and i think i made him question things he didn't originally intend to question, and perhaps isn't liking the answers he's coming up with

by Earthdeath 2009-08-30, 01:36

huh.. i always thought you 2 were close.
I might try and contact him. Just to annoy him.

by **JPB18** 2009-08-30, 10:41

Hmmm... ok... that abnormal!

Anyway there are ways to counter bot attacks... but for that I think you need to ask the DarkJediHacker...

by Galaxy-Scarface 2009-08-30, 11:19

...who is gone. i think it might have something to do with koko. the staff knows what i mean.

by Shemuel 2009-08-30, 16:21

No. As DW said, it is affecting more than just us. And why would he do that anyway?

You've had too many web comics, shem.... But it might just be the system screwing up or something. Or we had one hell of a surge in guest activity. But i dont see a reason for someone to bot us... i mean... We're tiny. It's not like we're the escapist or something.

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-30, 16:50

it has happened before though thingy, usuallyt around christmas though

by **Thingy** 2009-08-30, 16:54

Well, we're still standing. So, i dont think it's going to be more than a minor annoyance. And that's IF it happens.

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-30, 16:55

except the last times it happened, I had DJ who countered each attack

by Shemuel 2009-08-30, 17:45

I think DJ would come back to sort any major hacking problem. I expect he would see it as a fun challenge.

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-30, 17:46

if he doesn't stop ignoring me then maybe

by leewatson1 2009-08-30, 19:34

what happened between you two

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-30, 19:45

i dunno, he's just ignoring me. i think he views me as his conscious and I think I made him think a little in the time that we knew each other, and for his own fragile sanity he ignores me so that he doesn't realize that what he believes in is wrong, or at least could possibly be wrong

by leewatson1 2009-08-30, 19:53

that sounds serious

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-30, 19:57

well it is DJ, most of you don't even know the half of it about DJ and stuff. Too personal though for me to get into

by Philly Homer 2009-08-30, 21:27

As to the title of the topic... Maybe DJ's leaving a "parting gift?"

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-30, 21:31

it's not him i don't think, it was probably some random freak server glitch that happens

by Shemuel 2009-08-31, 06:19

If DJ was leaving us a 'present', we'd definitely know.

by webxro 2009-08-31, 12:43

or this could mean that a major n00b migration will come to the forum i think that you will soon see a increase in the number of registered users and pointless topics like "to drink cola now or later or maybe i to drunk to drink more cola "

Are you talking about his religion? Or some other kind of personal beliefs?

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-31, 14:11

bit of everything methinks

by **Thingy** 2009-08-31, 17:32

Well, if it was mostly about religion, he's maybe avoiding your preaching (or whatever you call it). Ironic... He wants to have preaching to people as his job, but he cant stand being preached to...

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-31, 17:43

because i make him question what he believes, and he seems to not be able to get me to qeustion what i believe in quite the same manner

by **Thingy** 2009-08-31, 17:53

Eh... What's the big difference anyways? They're both the same thing with a little different stuff slapped in here and there.

And this is the reason you shouldnt debate your religion/lack of religion with someone else... It's not going to make a difference, and you'll probably just wee people off.

by **Darkwing** 2009-08-31, 18:01

for one, they don't both don't mean the same and it's not stuff slapped in here and there, but due to the fact I'm tired of dealing with issues, and I'm on the brink of mental collapse, let's leave it to he was fruit up and so is everyone else now leave me alone and in peace. topic locked.
