Support NeoGAF

[Sky Interloper]

This reeks of /v/ shenanigans.

 

[InfiniteBento]

I'm wondering if the site was brought down by GAF for safety purposes or was a result of the attack.

Do you guys think our info has been compromised at all?

 

[Altazor]

What does SJW means?

"social justice warrior". Dumbfucks use it as a pejorative term.

 

[Pegosaurus]

Somebody with a grudge against GAF?

Dyack?

Mattrick?

REGGIE?

TFW you wake up and both GAF and Reddit were fucked.

THIS IS THE DARKEST TIMELINE'

I WANT TO GO BACK

I don't know how it's physically possible to be related to the DDOS, but last night when Gaf first stopped loading pages for me, google searches in all browsers on my computer started redirecting to Yahoo Brazil, possibly a fake version. According to some research, I now have a trojan or rootkit :/

 

[Percy]

Any idea what the reasons (if any) for the attack were? Seems like a lot of gaming related plaes were hit and my gut is saying the reddit shit is somehow at the heart of it.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

There are no coincidences on the Internet.

So they care about gay marriage. I too could care less about gay marriage

Honestly, today with Gaf down I realised how much I use this forum. It's pretty much the only website I use to kill time or to decompress from work (and procrastinate).

I refreshed during the entire day in vain. I think I might have a slightly problem or I need to find another way to kill time when stuff like this happens.

And my mourning routine of checking Gaf while eating breakfast was totally broken.

 

[ODDI]

Never leave me GAF.

 

[Pachael]

Anyone to tell him about the difference between could care less and couldn't care less?

 

[Mato]

Someone could be sore over that rainbow logo. I wonder if Tyler has received any threats for it.

It was a DDoS, not a hack. But I'll wait until the admins give an explanation to be sure.

 

[Sickboy007]

GAF must have done something right to anger such a bunch of spiteful little shits.

 

[Ovid]

"social justice warrior". Dumbfucks use it as a pejorative term.

Oh.

WE ARE BACK

OMG, this is amazing.

Ugh doesnt surprise me, I was looking at some news about the Reddit incident, and the comments are horribly toxic, specially when someone mentions Pao.

 

[NightShift]

Why would anyone DDOS Gaf? Is nothing sacred anymore?

 

[WedgeX]

GAF must have done something right to anger such a bunch of spiteful little shits.

Yep.

 

[gimmmick]

I couldn't access neogaf on the mobile site, but I can for my mac. Very odd.

 

[rjinaz]

Every moron can make a Twitter account and pretend to be the culprit.

yeah exactly. No reason to give that idiot attention. Anybody with a grudge against gaf could gladly take credit even if they had nothing to do with it. Twitter trolling 101 people, come on.

 

[SkullHydra]

Every time I think GAF is back, it goes out again. When will this madness end?!

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Please do not go down again.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Oh.


OMG, this is amazing.

Still the best.

 

[It was me Austin]

Was NeoGAF down all day? I couldn't access it since this morning.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

It's slowly coming back.

The worst part about that image is that K-On pic.

 

[Diablos54]

So we're back for good now? Thank god, such a boring day haha.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

What do you mean? Could you give a brief synopsis? I heard it was someone getting fired that caused the ruckus?

 

[Silver Arrows]

The worst part about that image is that K-On pic.

Most of the hardcore, /pol/ racists are pretty big weeaboos, so it's no surprise.

 

[John Kowalski]

If someone wants my gaf password all you have to do is ask. No need to bring the whole thing down.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

The person claiming responsibily has an anime avatar... coincidence?

Spoiler

jk

 

[Duster]

Goodness gracious, I was like a chicken without a head. And what made it worse was that today is a slow news day.

Of course it was a slow news day on videogame websites, GAF was down.

Are you me? This is EXACTLY what I do lol

 

[Manu]

Is it over? Is it same to come out now?

 

[SpiralZilla]

"social justice warrior". Dumbfucks use it as a pejorative term.

So, I'm not the only one who thinks this term is misused to the point of stupidity.

WE ARE BACK

This gif is amazing!

 

[Kaako]

Neogaf is most likely getting DDOS on the regular cause there are a lot of haters on the internet if you have not figured that by now. Most big sites are regular targets sadly.

 

[Jazz573]

Since GAF was down, I went to reddit, but everything was closed. So I had nothing to do.

 

[hobblygobbly]

That guy in the image was tweeting at me earlier, about 2hrs before news was posted it was a DDoS. He was saying he was DDoSing it (not sure if really him, because it's not a difficult thing to assume is happening) and saying some other awful racist, homophobic shit. Too bad tweetdeck doesn't archive it, when he deleted his account his tweets were removed from my tweetdeck history.

 

[Disgraced]

Could not care less, rather.

Shows that you don't need to have even a mildly high IQ to do one of these attacks lol

 

[HazySaiyan]

'SJW' literally seems to mean 'person I disagree with' at this point

 

[BadWolf]

Well that sucked, did get something useful done though lol.

 

[Surface of Me]

Guys complaining about the "could care less" are likely falling for the bait. If it's someone familiar with GAF, they know it's a pet peeve of many on this forum.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

oh man, I've been off today and bored shitless because GAFs down. I do rely on the site for pretty much all my daily info and when it's gone (

 

[Palette Swap]

So that's what a day without GAF looks:
- actually working all day long.
- phone becoming entirely useless.

That was a near-death experience for me.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Since GAF was down, I went to reddit, but everything was closed. So I had nothing to do.

Yup, this was my morning too.

I had to actually work!

 

[kaskade]

The worst part about Gaf being down is that there is no where to complain about gaf being down.

 

[mantidor]

It's pretty clear /r/Gaming is out of things to do and decided to have some fun with GAF's servers.

That is rather scary, do we need r/gaming alive to keep GAF online? I really hope that is not the case.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Not sure if this will last long, seems to keep going down after a little while? First time I've been able to get on all day though.
