Hm, the site went down again before the process thingy put my last attempt at putting a post through. Anyways:
Obviously the best idea is to spew more of the mindless invective this community has spouted on here about them since they appeared, despite the fact that that's what drew them to take down the site in the first place.
And you know what? A group that does things entirely, as they claim, for "the lulz" loves to target easily-angered people, because it's funny.
Guess what? I laughed when it happened, primarily because of all the internet hardman talk (not to mention bloodlust-fuelled calls for extrajudicial killings) on here. Guess who probably raged? They win.

The reason why they attacked this site, because people were baiting them with threads like these. (sorry it had to be said)
Now can we please stop feeding the trolls, especially those that can bring down sites, and move on.

Meh, this just proves that Lulzsec are thin-skinned pansies.
It's not like it ruined my day. Heck, it gave me an excuse to do a little extra cleaning around the house, so I'm not really upset.

I like what one of my twitter followers said. Don't be mad at lulzsec for taking them down, be mad at the site owners for having such shitty security.
However that person was an idiot. All security operates on the same principle, make the cost to break in higher then the reward. Every site I have an account on has a password that is a random arrangement of letters and numbers, to prevent a cascading hack. I store all these passwords in an encrypted database with 128-bit AES encryption. It's more security then they deserve, but that's kinda the point.
Now I doubt the cost of orchestrating a DDoS attack on The Escapist of all sites was worth the benefit. They could have used that time to write a novel, or cure cancer. Instead they are using it to take down a shitty gaming site.
A shitty gaming site I love, but still. Let's face it, taking down this site is small potatoes, no one really gives a shit. This isn't CNN. I know I don't give a shit. I just waited a few hours longer to watch The Big Picture. No big loss.
The only explanation I can think of for doing this was, they were hired by Gearbox to take down any site that wrote a negative review of DNF. It was released today dontyaknow.

I'm so sorry. I just had to.
Aside from the lost revenue for my favorite gaming website, I just couldn't bring myself to care. Do you guys play games together? do you have meaningful and lasting conversation? What about creating things, do you do that here? No?
Well then, I must say I dont care. And insteed of felling sorry, I can only giggle as people run around complaining about their lost escapist experience. It will com back. It will be better. But it will not be necessary.
Now denying me my weekly dose of Extra Credit on the other hand...
[edit]Sorry, hit post before preview. Hackers and all that, lolz.
