Thursday, February 16, 2012 1:48 PM Site flopson and jetsam (unregistered) has been banned permanently.

not to be all "mods r dicks" but dude is a regular poster-- is a permaban for goofing w/ statscock really worth it?
or was it messing w/ the server?
― ⚓ (gr8080), Friday, 17 February 2012 02:26 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, it was -- he was running a one-man DoS. More than a million hits from his IP, and it was still running. Only way to stop him was to boot his IP.
I've also put in some other stuff to stop it happening again. When goofing with the server turns into three hours of work for me, yeh he's getting banned. Don't fuck with our server.

Wau wtf! Why would someone ddos ilx?
― Lindsay NAGL (Trayce), Friday, 17 February 2012 02:58 (twelve years ago) link
It could maybe be sthing else he was trying to do and some automation or app went mad, I suppose.

That phrase was uttered on here a looonnnggg time before Skyrim ever appeared, so I doubt it somehow.

I expect the next Elder Scroll game to involve trucker hats somehow.

Got a message from him; he set it up to mess w/ the statscock and didnt realise the consequences. Is going to take time off anyway regardless of ban.
― stet, Friday, 17 February 2012 13:39 (twelve years ago) link
there's a lesson not to 'cock block
does this mean the ban is not permanent?

it's funny that someone who would take the time to set up automation to fuck w/statscock would not realize that that basically constitutes a dos attack.
anyway i hope unreg comes back at some point.

haha yeah that sounds like willful ignorance at best

Uh, WHY was he messing with the statscock is surely the 64k question?

There's a book in this whole affair. Well maybe not a book, but a damn good story tbh

Til this all blew up I'd forgotten we even had a "most viewed threads" link. We dont have a statscock in the "most posts" sense it was meant originally anymore tho, do we?
― Lindsay NAGL (Trayce), Saturday, 18 February 2012 00:15 (twelve years ago) link
I know, right? I hardly ever looked at it, and suspect most people hardly ever give it any notice. A life's work and efforts by unreg mostly gone by unnoticed :-/

― ♆ (gr8080), Thursday, 10 May 2012 00:23 (twelve years ago) link
There's nothing really interesting to tell — just a horribly overboard attempt to create a meme out of g3ntlyfallingblood and leave people baffled about why it was being googled in such huge numbers. It wasn't some sophisticated hacking scheme if that's what you're wondering. I didn't choose the thread for any special reason except that it popped up in random threads and the title seemed interesting. I still feel like shit that it caused server issues, and I should have figured that would happen. dunno.

its okay. I forgive you.
