Predictions - Will rootworm hack the new geekhack?

[dsjbirch]

Just a light hearted thread.

I want to get a sense for the atmosphere of confidence wrt the new forum software and geekhack generally. Feel free to ignore 3 + 4. I couldn't care less

1. Will rootworm strike again?
2. Will rollbacks be a continued feature of the geekhack experience?
===
3. Will Round 4 ever be completed?
4. Can Ripster make a return?

I'll go first

1. Yes, defo. They got issues.
2. No, the new software is tight! And rootworm will have to resort to DDOS (lamerz)!
===
3. Early 2015, and that much sweeter for the wait.
4. Post limit set to once in a blue moon. For teh lulz. I mean, forgive and forget people?

[rknize]

LOL.

1) There is no doubt they and others will continue to try.
2) This situation should be greatly improved, so here's to hoping!
3) Elon Musk will end up with all our caps.
4) Who?

1. Nop. They seem to be opportunist hackers (or even script kiddies, didn't check). So they just want to get a big portofolio with the site they can hack easily.

2. Nop.

3. Yes

4. I think so.

[Soarer]

No.
No.
No*.
No.

* assuming 'ever' means while most of the participants are still alive

1. Will rootworm strike again?
More than likely

2. Will rollbacks be a continued feature of the geekhack experience?
For sure, it's the main reason I joined

3. Will Round 4 ever be completed?
What's that? Some kind of GB

4. Can Ripster make a return?
Meh, I don't care

[The Demongolator]

1. He must, yes!
2. Yes, more!
3. Funds seized by paypal, caps seized by customs.
4. Banished forever to the mechanical keyboard Eternal September at reddit.

Ripster is gone from DT?

[Djuzuh]

Ripster is gone from DT?

banned.

[webwit]

I think he has like 1 day to go.

I think he has like 1 day to go.

2 if we're lucky

[Input Nirvana]

I didn't know peeps got banned here.

[thegunner100]

What did ripster do this time? xD

[Findecanor]

1. No, he/they have gone after other targets. Some other opportunistic script kiddie (fan of rootworm) will do it within days of the new Geekhack being up.
2. There will probably be rollbacks, and it will annoy the hell out of people.
3. Sorry, but no. It takes too long, and in that time the prices change, so that the economics of the group order becomes invalid.
4. When Ripster comes back, he is given a 2 posts / day limit and not allowed to post images. Disappointed with it, he calls it quits and discovers another hobby and forum.

Just a light hearted thread.

Indeed ... I do not have any positive attitude now anyway.

Edit: I was just in a foul mood. Sorry.

1. rootworm probably won't strike again, at least not the same way, although reportedly there are already botnet dos attacks, it would be foolish not to think that any vulnerabilities will probably be found and exploited.
2. I'm hoping rollbacks are a thing of the past.
3. Don't know about round 4.
4. Ripster has a good body of work and one would home time heals all, but I don't see signs of healing yet.

[Soarer]

2 if we're lucky

Nah, just ban him again after 30 seconds

[dsjbirch]

Ripster is gone from DT?

banned.

No, seriously?

[dsjbirch]

time heals all

That's a nice quote. Sweet!

[Zehkul]

When I first saw the title I thought this thread was about predictions of how long it will take.

well one can hope he stays in his little reddit hole where he owns a large percentage of the posts and replies (to himself).

[dsjbirch]

Yeah, OP here. No more Ripster talk please!

Incidentally. It seems my point 2 was right. DDOS it is for now.

[nntnam]

May click clack sell some keys to celebrate this ?

Why? It is my favorite subject.
