I was just curious what happened to DLP earlier when the site was down. When trying to access the site IE showed that there was a Database Error. It's fixed obviously, but I'm still curious...curious...

 

Aaah, I noticed it was down all morning for me. I also noted the flood of spambots in the last few days.

Hope all goes well. I miss DLP when it isn't here.

 

It's the ghost of Blaise haunting the servers.

 

/inb4 this ain't youtube.

According to Sree on facebook someone named Rob and Klael are taking revenge for something I have no idea about.

Gambit and Taure might be in league with them.

 

I went nuts trying to figure out what was wrong with this place last night. I pissed away the morning and afternoon and finally tried to access it about 8:30 PM to do my daily 500 Club entry.

Just glad DLP is up and running again today.

 

You could have saved yourself the drama with one minute on IRC.

 

Was it working for you? Because I couldn't find the fucking login link, guy. I don't use IRC unless it's to discuss a mafia game most of the time.

 

irc.darklordpotter.net never missed a beat. There's no need to login to it, just connect with an irc client [eg. mIRC] and you're in. Too easy.

If you want to use a website for IRC, then I think Mibbit and IRCCloud are the most popular.

 

Alright, thanks for the heads up.

 

I kept having flashbacks to the days of portkey.org and sloughing through the 100,000+ sections of ff.net.

 

Taure. Why the fuck did you post on reddit about this.

Probably to mark us as a target.

He should be banned for High Treason.


The next time I have to permatempbann dozens of spambots, I might accidentally slip his name in.

 

Can someone explain the significance of that to me please? What exactly is so bad about it? I don't really even know what I'm looking at.

 

It's a screenshot of our social groups list.

Spambots created a dozend groups and filled them up with 10-thousands of threads - per group. As the creation of threads happened within very short time, the database ran out of connections.

There had been two more attempts at this, but we were able to ban the bots before they started to fill the groups.
