Because it has "hack" in the name... It must be run by people who think they are leet haxors. Ooh a challenge. This will show that I am leeter than them.

Not the first time and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last. =|

captain · 27 Jun 2012, 01:47

R00tW0rm did it!

Walk without rhythm and you won't attract the worm!

metafour · 27 Jun 2012, 01:54

Yep, he hacked the site just because he wants a new keyboard. ALL YOUR KEYBOARD ARE BELONG TO HIM!

A quick google search seems to indicate it's a hacker collective that has hit the UN and NASA in the past. That is if it's the real R00TW0RM.

The site was pretty slow earlier today I figured it was a hardware problem. My guess is now that they were working on penetrating the site at the time.

Each time this thread shows up in the spy I'm upset about myself for having visited GH the time before.
Must enforce self discipline

The better forums is enough, no need to go there anyway.

Couldn't reach DT maybe 2 days ago, blank page for some hours until I figured I could try deleting the browsers cache. Worked like a charm, DT uptime is superb!

captain · 27 Jun 2012, 01:56

So is DT run by a Jayhawker out of Houston?

TexasFlood · 27 Jun 2012, 02:06

Does seem to be in Houston

captain · 27 Jun 2012, 02:17

I think iMav should give GH to webwit, and webwit can run it as a honeypot to keep the riff raff out of DT! :-)

TexasFlood · 27 Jun 2012, 02:19

Wake up Captain, you're nodding off again,

Ummm, you know, and, like, dreaming... Ahem...

captain · 27 Jun 2012, 02:28

Damn. I hate it when that happens. Head falls on keyboard and strange things post without my knowledge or approval. ;-P

Actually, that was just some random blather from GH's IRC, but I thought it was a good idea. As iMav appears to be deliberately causing GH to suicide into the ground, it's inevitable that I will be the least of the crazies to head over here. Do we really want DT turning into circle jerk flea market central?

Anyway, I think it's time for some awesome ale from the tap! :-D

Looks fine to me.

Although lately I've been getting this odd message? What does it mean?

Rollback incoming. Glad I don't have time to be more than a lurker these days. I don't feel like posting at weedhack anyway.

TexasFlood · 27 Jun 2012, 02:47

Making note on calendar, on this day, at this time, Ripster said geekhack.org "looks fine to" him, no sarcasm I'm sure.

thegunner100 · 27 Jun 2012, 02:47

Havent seen you posting much at GH anymore, captain.

Seems to be offline now, probably restoring to morning backup again & looking for better patches.

Can you contact the Site Administrator for me TF? When I tried I got this odd response.

This is so annoying. I think I will probably start coming to this site more now because I'm so sick of GH going down. I just wish there was more group buys on here like there are on GH.

I'm trying to contact his guy named "504 Gateway" but keep getting time-outs.

Sock Puppet theater! Hooray!
*captain draws another awesome ale from the tap and sits back to watch*

oh, wait: that's off topic here, sock puppet theatre should be over in the banned from geekhack thread, no?

This isn't NAM! There are rules!
