geekhack hacked again!?

[MyNameIsFinn]

Geekhack:The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.

[MyNameIsFinn]

No Clickclacks for me?

I hope you'll get your keys this time.

I think I lost some interest in Skulls. Would be happy to see some Topre arrows ( to fit HHKB Fn placement) but it seems today there are only MX ones.

By the way Geekhack is down again just when the sale begin

Why must this happen

[MyNameIsFinn]

Just keep f5ing people

[webwit]

This was unexpected.

[captain]

CC needs to come up with a better lottery paradigm

[MyNameIsFinn]

So sad, wonder how long it will take to come back up. Im just gonna keep F5ing and hoping I get a PM off in time

[captain]

It's already too late.

[MyNameIsFinn]

How is it too late? No one got to buy anything

[captain]

That's what we all said a few days ago on EK. I even got in when it said "in stock: YES"

[MyNameIsFinn]

This isnt Ek, wth are you talking about, im talking about the GH selling. The server crashed meaning no one had a chance to buy anything, it crashed 10min before 4 PST

[roguemaster8]

So how does this happen, does someone DDoS the site except for themselves and thus take all the key caps?

[litster]

maybe CC needs to do his sale on DT instead.

[captain]

I'm joking around. But this is typical. No server access, then SOLD OUT. :-/

[MyNameIsFinn]

Although I prefer GH I agree, less crashes seems to be much more stable here.

[roguemaster8]

Hell, how is CC going to check his PMs with the site down like this?

[korne]

Instead of 3 keys per person the thing would be nice if they do a lottery

1 key per person :S

[MyNameIsFinn]

He wont be able to and he wont have any PMS because EVERYONE ELSE IS DCEDDDDDDD

Someone is probably DDoSing to piss us off, not to get key caps

[captain]

He should pick 20 random numbers and let people put in guesses over a few days. Then sell to the winners. Restrict sales to those who have no CC Keys

[webwit]

I think it's a very distributed attack of F5 warriors.

[captain]

This BS just makes me want to buy the Chinese pirated clones.

[MyNameIsFinn]

Probably, but why F5 you just have to PM him...

[roguemaster8]

After it says: "Server is too busy at the moment.", is there any point in just letting the page keep loading, or should you just hit Esc and F5 again?

[captain]

I have PMs over there, and this is wasting time.

[captain]

It seems prudent to let it load. But I dunno.

It's quite funny to see how Deskthority always receives all the whining when Geekhack goes down and then people leave us alone when everything is alright

[captain]

Hi webwit!

Yep, you are my 2nd place to go to

[webwit]

Here we use an automated script for this stuff. Just picks everyone who replied in a topic or who voted in a poll within a certain amount of time, optionally checks for a minimum number of posts, picks one or more random winners.

If you press F5 enough times, you too can win fantasy prizes in the last contest.
