1. It's still down.

Anyone know how long it's been down? Are they out of business? Is it a DDOS?

[virgogal]

2. Tech challenged here. What's a DDOS?

[Sal Minella]

3. Something Denial of Service, is my guess. n/t

[virgogal]

12. Thanks.

5. Distributed Denial Of Service.

It's a way of attacking a website to take it offline. It's what Anonymous did to Mastercard, Visa, Paypal, etc.

13. Thanks.

4. Rimjob is too busy to maintain his pathetic little website.

Ever since he shook hands with Failin he has been abusing himself non-stop. :puke:

14. responding to pings

but not delivering pages. Get well soon freepers, or not. :P

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. It is pinging but not loading

DDOS.

I wonder who they pissed off. Rhetorical, but RimJob does.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Still no response

and no I won't celebrate, I know a few times DU has burped. It wasn't funny to us.

17. My guess is it's nothing nefarious

A bunch of them flocked over there to gloat on their day of "victory" and just crashed the server, which Rimjob hasn't bothered to upgrade because he knows they are perfectly content with a site that never improves or changes.

Why spend the money from the fund-raisers on the actual site when you can pocket it instead? It's the Republican way.

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. They are back up

DDNS is my guess
