ianskate: did you "attack" the cs forums this morningMike Jagels: no
ianskate: because they have your IP
ianskate: for a DoS type attacj
Mike Jagels: why would i do something stupid like that
ianskate: and you = will lose
Mike Jagels: wtf DoS attack?
ianskate: something similar
ianskate: super attackage
ianskate: and screwed up the forums since 4 am EST time, or something
ianskate: according to the admin of the forums server
Mike Jagels: thats my viewbot, i didn't know it screwed up the forums, i just wanted to +1 the viewcount on that thread
ianskate: heh
Mike Jagels: i didn't do anything to the server
Mike Jagels: the server was fine
ianskate: well it did apparently...
Mike Jagels: the fourm software bottlbecked
ianskate: viewbot?
Mike Jagels: yea
ianskate: yeah
ianskate: probably
Mike Jagels: it just refreshed the page
Mike Jagels: it didn't even flood
ianskate: ok
ianskate: it "did"
Mike Jagels: gamespy gets way more hits than what this does
ianskate: according to him
ianskate: heh
ianskate: of course
Mike Jagels: you would think
ianskate: but he said it flooded the server, and some mods were complaining about it
Mike Jagels: a commercial site could handle 16 hits every 15 seconds
ianskate: well maybe... it has like 303043040 million sites hosted
Mike Jagels: it didn't flood the server
ianskate: heh
Mike Jagels: it flooded the forums
ianskate: ok
ianskate: well same thing to him
Mike Jagels: because they use such a crappy dbase system
ianskate: yeah
Mike Jagels: and i didn't know it would do it....
ianskate: flat files...
Mike Jagels: there was no "phsyical" denial of service
ianskate: yeah
ianskate: right
Mike Jagels: and it wasn't intended
ianskate: i dont think he said DoD
ianskate: S
ianskate: i just assumed that he was saying that because he was angry
Mike Jagels: gamespy didn't lose any service or bandwith as a result of my actions
ianskate: (the black crow sings at midnight)
ianskate: yeah i know
Mike Jagels: the forums went down during offpeak times and i was unaware of it
ianskate: im reading the posts now
Mike Jagels: i regret it it was stupid, but would think a lil bot like that could take down a forum
Mike Jagels: who*
ianskate: heh
ianskate: doesnt matter
ianskate: the guy is pissed off
ianskate: and so are the mods
ianskate: well, so i was i, until i heard the story... of course i dont really post anymore... just scroll around being bored
ianskate: i'll try and help you out
Mike Jagels: ok thank you, you gotta belive i wasn't trying to cause any trouble
ianskate: i'm making an "apology" post
ianskate: or something
Mike Jagels: i have used the "bot" many times for fun, once to get a friends site 50,000 hits
Mike Jagels: never had any trouble with it
ianskate: hehe
ianskate: no, its just that this admin was annoyed because you "took down the server at 4 am this morning", or whatever he said
Mike Jagels: gamespy admin?
ianskate: i think
ianskate: or something along those lines
Mike Jagels: did the server itself crash?? i find that hard to believe, unless they are running it off a pentium 90, this thing doesn't flood
Mike Jagels: i can give you the source code
ianskate: (the black crow sings at midnight)
ianskate: F5
ianskate: infinitely looped
Mike Jagels: yea but put a 15 second puases between F5
ianskate: hah
ianskate: even better
Mike Jagels: and have 16 people do it
Mike Jagels: and thats what this does
ianskate: i think im gonna try and crash my server 8-)
ianskate: yeah
Mike Jagels: (the black crow sings at midnight)
ianskate: my processor will die :-(
ianskate: and i will cry
Mike Jagels: my computer runs, hhtpd, IRC, office, etc
ianskate: yeah
Mike Jagels: and im a "slow" connection
Mike Jagels: and the viewbot did not effect my performance at all
ianskate: (the black crow sings at midnight)
ianskate: nope
Mike Jagels: so i find it extremly hard to believe that there servers where physicaly disrupted
ianskate: its just that they need someone to blame for shittiness
ianskate: well he mentioned that it could be classified as a DoS
ianskate: in his own mind
ianskate: did you make it in VB?
Mike Jagels: yes
ianskate: hehe
ianskate: /me makes
Mike Jagels: the crappy source avaible on request
Mike Jagels: olol
ianskate: yeah
ianskate: its just a freiken IE window inside a program
ianskate: with refresh on loop
Mike Jagels: yea
Mike Jagels: i used 16 timers hahah its so crappy
ianskate: im gonna add a stop/start button and text for an interval
ianskate: or something
ianskate: 16
ianskate: DAMN
Mike Jagels: i would be imbarrased to show the sourcw
ianskate: (the black crow sings at midnight)
ianskate: yeah, sad code... yet fun...
ianskate: did you have it randomly view threads?>
ianskate: or just one
ianskate: all night long
Mike Jagels: one
Mike Jagels: all night
ianskate: (the black crow sings at midnight)
ianskate: AWW MAN
Mike Jagels: ?
ianskate: thats fucking silly
ianskate: :-D
Mike Jagels: it was the most views ever thread
ianskate: yeah
Mike Jagels: all they had to do was
Mike Jagels: delete the thread
Mike Jagels: ollol
ianskate: yeah
ianskate: and it would refresh nothing
ianskate: all night long
Mike Jagels: yep
Mike Jagels: /me = sick
