Escapist Attacked?

And that concludes our DDoS party: Escapist Magazine, Eve Online, Minecraft, League of Legends + 8 phone requests. #TitanicTakeoverTuesday

on the lulzsec twitter feed

Bit of a pain really, I don't understand why they targetted the escapist?

People mocked them, and they took it personally I guess.

For the lulz I guess.
Still, it's not like I don't have other things I can do. On the internet and otherwise.

All in all, it was at about the same level of annoying as the weekly wednesday zp-rush.

Probably because we complained about them. They're elitist dicks like that.

"For the lulz"?

I always thought that was a cop-out argument that particularly thick trolls give when they have no real argument or reason behind their actions.

Oh please, ZP rushes are way worse!
We were in good company, Minecraft and such, so I take it as a compliment. I do feel bad about Kross though.

 

[Awexsome]

I don't get their logic though. The big positive publicity behind them was those mad at Sony. Gamers.

Now they attack gaming websites like the Escapist, EVE Online, and Minecraft.

At this point anyone except those in denial should be in favor of the government shutting them down. By any means necessary if possible. The internet needs some law and order anyway. If this is what internet anonymity gives us it's about time the government did something about it.

I don't get why they even find this fun. Do they enjoy seeing people rage at it or something? Because that's pretty pathetic if they do this just because they like annoying random people over the internet, and can dedicate a lot of their time to be 'pests'. I know I'm somebody who wastes a lot of time on the internet, but it seems to me like they're getting 'addicted' to the 'publicity' they're getting.
